"Having been Oscar-nominated for 'Miss Misery', Smith was debatably at the peak of his career. XO (1998) proved his ability to make a shift and to make use of the better recording equipment than his stripped back demo-like previous releases. 'Pitseleh' is one of two songs from his fourth studio album that really encapsulates Smith’s progression. The acoustic guitar is faultlessly humming, with delicate higher notes to emphasise the folky sound. ‘Pitseleh’ is a yiddish word for “little one”, showcasing a more endearing side to Elliott Smith’s signature sadness." - Gigwise, Cerys Kenneally, 5th January 2017
RIP Elliott Smith

♪ lyrics ♪
I'll tell you why I don't wanna know where you are
I gotta joke I've been dying to tell you
Silent kid is looking down the barrel
To make the noise that I kept so quiet
Kept it from you, Pitseleh
I'm not what's missing
From your life now
I could never be the puzzle pieces
They say that God makes problems
Just to see what you can stand
Before you do as the Devil pleases
Give up the thing you love
But no one deserves it
The first time I saw you
I knew it would never last
I'm not half what I wish I was
I'm so angry
I don't think it'll ever pass
And I was bad news for you just because
I never meant to hurt you
