Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on August 06, 1969)

Happy birthday to the legendary Elliott Smith! Your music has always been a comforting companion, whether we're feeling introspective or just need someone who understands our melancholy. From "From a Basement on the Hill" to your timeless melodies, you've given us countless reasons to smile (and occasionally cry) into our coffee cups.

Even though you're no longer with us, your songs continue resonating deeply—proving that great artists never truly fade away; they simply become more beloved over time. So here's raising an imaginary toast in honor of you today: may we forever hum along softly and slightly off-key in tribute!
