Steven Paul Smith (6 de agosto de 1969 – 21 de octubre de 2003), mejor conocido como Elliott Smith, fue un cantautor estadounidense de folk. Su instrumento primario fue la guitarra acústica, acompañada en otras canciones por bajo, batería y piano entre otros. Su voz era como un susurro, que en muchas canciones tenía un extraño efecto de doble voz. Vivió casi toda su vida en Portland, Oregon (Estados Unidos).
Antes de empezar su carrera en solitario, tocaba en la banda de rock Heatmiser, con la que llegó a sacar varios discos.

[Verse] GAm I told him that he shouldn’t upset her (ooh) DCAmFD And that he’d only be making it worse involving somebody else (ooh) GAm But I knew that he’d never forget her (ooh) DCAmFD While her memory worked in reverse to keep her safe from herself (ooh)
