Overview
Ben Folds has recorded a tribute to Elliott Smith which is set to appear on his forthcoming album.
Smith toured with Folds in 1998 when he fronted the Ben Folds Five.
"I was playing all the same shitholes he was," Folds told Rolling Stone. "The lyrics of the song are about people who are sharing your experience too - 'Oh, Elliott Smith did this club last night, and he sat in that same room and read all the shit about dicks and asses on the wall.' Poets like to talk about how they look up and see the same stars, and I think rock musicians all look up and see the same dicks on the walls."
