Elliott Smith

In November 1998, during the recording session for the "2 Meter Sessies," Elliott Smith had recently released his critically acclaimed album, "Either/Or," which came out in 1997. This album solidified his reputation as a standout figure in the indie music scene, featuring poignant songwriting and intimate arrangements. The live performance of "Miss Misery," a song that later appeared on the soundtrack of the film "Good Will Hunting," showcases Smith's signature style and lyrical depth, highlighting his ability to convey emotional complexity. By this time, Smith was gaining significant recognition, which would only grow after the release of "Good Will Hunting" in 1997, leading to wider exposure for his music. This session at the "2 Meter Sessies" exemplifies Smith's raw talent in a live setting, capturing the essence of his artistry just as he was on the brink of mainstream success.
