CD Review: Christopher O'Riley — Home to Oblivion: An Elliott Smith Tribute

Written by Connie Phillips
Published May 24, 2006

There's something complex and beautiful when music is delivered by piano alone. In Home to Oblivion: An Elliott Smith Tribute O'Riley does more then deliver, he interprets, and the emotions expressed through the ivory keys are as deep and profound as the omitted lyrics.

Elliott Smith began a solo career in 1994 and became well known for his grunge style rock and his confessional song lyrics. In 1999, his song "Miss Misery" was used in the movie Good Will Hunting and he later won an Oscar for best original song. His life was tormented with addictions and he died in 2003 at the young age of 34 from a (possibly self-inflicted) stab wound.(Wikipedia)

Christopher O'Riley first stumbled across Smith's music through another movie, American Beauty. The song was a cover of the Beatles' hit "Because." He says in the liner notes of Home to Oblivion it was only after Smith's death that he became fascinated with his work. The passion for the music led to the CD which interprets more then pays tribute. This is what he does with his tribute albums. (He's also paid tribute to Radiohead in previous releases.) He conveys every nuance of the music with what can best be described as rising and falling passion.

An example of this would be the track "Oh Well, Okay." In the Elliott Smith recording which appeared on XO Elliot's deep and smokey voice delivers sad yet profound lyrics. O'Riley does more than present a tribute to the song, he feels it and he makes the listener feel it as well. From the liner notes of Home to Oblivion,

The so called "Cello Etude of Chopin" was my inspiration for doing "Oh Well, Okay." I wanted to allow the true baritone range of Elliott's voice to be best emulated by the left hand.

The result is magnificent, nothing is lost and more is gained. O'Riley interprets the songs for himself and for his audience. Some have subtle changes, others are more pronounced but nothing is so far out of context it is unrecognizable. When he says, "As a pianist, I can only emulate the depth and beauty of Elliott Smith's lyrical gift," he is selling himself short.

When I first heard the track "Everything Means Nothing to Me" it seemed too complicated. In some places the repetitive scales were distracting and noisy, but after I went back and listened to Smith's version from Figure 8 I was reminded just how complicated the original song was. Upon repeated listens I got what O'Riley was trying to do and the song has grown on me immensely.

"Stupidity Tries" is another cluttered song on Home to Oblivion but in this case, it doesn't seem warranted. The original was a simplistic piece with folk influences and what is produced here is quite different. However, different doesn't mean bad. It's not my favorite track on the CD, but I do find it attention-grabbing and I have spent a lot of time really listening to it to try and comprehend what O'Riley is trying to convey.

Home to Oblivion: An Elliott Smith Tribute is not only a fitting homage but a new way to look at the music of a great talent performed by a great talent. Smith fans as well as O'Riley fans will enjoy this collection. If you're unfamiliar with the work of either of these artists, it's still worth checking out.

What's the matter now,elliott!?
You feeling sorryass self-pity-party sorry-4-yaself as per fxxking usual!?

Don't cry,elliott! SAM COOKE was murdered in cold blood by a LOWLIFE SACK OF DOGSHIT VERMIN SCUM HAG WHORE SHITTY LITTLE SCUMMY PROSTITUTE,TOO!
AND, Sam Cooke was infinitely better at what he did and so much sweeter than you,my little boy blue!:)

Which is one good reason i am always happy to hear of a lowlife vermin scum hag whore shitty little prostitute meeting a just-end ie:slain like the vermin-scum worthless sacks of shit they truly are.
Never trust a WHORE!,Elliott.Well-rehearsed sob-storys are their only,forte.Ask,Oliver Stone, he has met enough shitty little lowlife worthless sacks of dogshit vermin scum whores in his time. Better still, stay the fuck-away from them,for all Eternity.

Enough talk of most grossest ,basest and foulest things.

I think of you,sometimes,elliott,but then i think of Sam Cooke and Kurt Cobain,sometimes too.Both dragged down into the sewer and murdered by a lowlife sack of dogshit vermin scum whore.Did i say that!?Yes, i did.

I think of you,sometimes ,elliott and the beautiful boy, you could have been,had you been so much smarter.

"A change is gonna come"!? I sincerely hope so,my little boy blue.

People deserve better.People deserve the Truth:VERITAS.

Good bye, for now darling,
I have work to be getting on with.

amor y la paz,

I think it was his extremely-superficial pompous prep-school boy emo-kewl-image-elliott smith was definitely superficial and soulless enough to date A TOTALLY-TALENTLESS BRAINDEAD BIMBO-WHORE -like -Oh!?There are too many to choose from in los angeles-angeles-aren't there Elliott Smith!?paris hilton(for example)(sorry Paris ,you ain't all-bad!LOL!) or jordan,maybe?big silicone hard-titties!bleurgh!and zero-talent!But he was too pretentious and pompous and pseudo-intellectual(not 1/8th as smart as he thinks he is)to be seen -out at trendy clubs and playing the pretentious-songwriter in l.a.crappy bars with paris hilton!he probably slagged her-off in front of his full-of-shite emo-kewl friends!But he wouldn't have said no!Had she offered her-well-used-minge for his use!?Instead he thought it was way keweler to solicit and pay shitty-gash foul vermin scum dogshitty bitching ho hag whore scum shitty shit4brainsz vile foul shitty little bitching ho prostitutes for some cheap shitty-sex -BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEURGGGGGGH!(THERE IS NO-WAY ROUND THIS VILE-ACT IT IS JUST GROTESQUE, I CHUCK -UP EVERY TIME I THINK ABOUT IT-CHEESEY OLD WHORE'S RANCID SHITTY GASH CUNTS RAMMED-FULL OF STALE OLD MEN'S SPUNK AND PISS AND SHIT AND VOMIT AND STD'S AND MOULDY-CHEESE) BLEEEEEEURGH)and his pathetic emo-kewl braindead-friends slapped him on the back for it!'Cos hey he is way emo-kewl in l.a.!?
Isn't that how it went,elliott smith!?Or do you have a different version of your well-rehearsed sob-story to tell !?
I'm all ears!I can't wait to hear your version of your shitty little lowlife prep-school pretentious pompous prick lifestyle!?
Did i get something wrong!?Paris Hilton and Britney Spears are tacky bimbo whores ,but you are something different!?You are emo-kewl!?
Care to explain,Elliott Smith!?'Cos i am awfully confused here as to exactly what your morals ,principles and respect for women and children and vunerable,impressionable gullible
( and easily-indoctrinated by your TOTAL-SHITE!)young boys and men are,if indeed you have any at all!?

What's left to say!?Elliott Smith was a rich middle class privilidged prep school educated vain,narcissistic snob who patronised bimbo-whores whilst paying them for some shitty-gash sex.It stinks,really.How his family continue to promote his charity for abused-children,sickens me to my stomach.They sell his CD's promoting sexual-abusers like prostitutes and sexually-abusive-punters as they call themselves -people who pay for sex with sexual-abusers:prostitutes:-as elliott smith did so "prolifically" and set-up a charity for abused-children!?Like where do you bunch of cunts get-off!?Sickening,deeply sickening to every abused child on the planet.

I wish it were not so,Elliott Smith, i wish you had not said and done and written the truly vile things you have said and done and written and continue to sell as CD's to make a profit from other people's pain and abuse.I wish you were just a regular average-joe who falls in and out of love as we all do and maybe writes a song or two about it-as many,many musicians and songwriters do.You however, are not mr average-joe nice-guy-you are a duplicitous superficial phony who lived a lie all his life and did some truly horrible things along the way.
I wish it were not so,Elliott; i so wanted to be your friend ,but you see i am a genuine feeling primal-person; i write what i feel and i don't backstab -people i tell them straight-up-this is who i am.Do you understand now,Elliott!? You always said you "didn't understand"!?
I do so hope you understand now,Elliott, i didn't lose a friend, i lost the friend i wanted you to be but whom you never were capable of being to me.

Good afternoon,

!Por favor!

Does anybody know if there is an Ivy League Dating-Agency: screened for sexual-abusers, prostitute (sexual-abuser-vermin-scum-sacks-of-total-dogshite)-users and spongers, scroungers, thieves, drug-addicts, alcoholics and general-lowifes? Oh and homosexuals - seeing as i am not gay and i do not want to date a homosexual -neither - stick to your own! And stick-it-up-your-own! Oh and soulless-perverts because i do not want to listen to some sad-cxxt-pervert droning -on about how j-lo isn't just a talentless piece of puerto-rican dogsh*t but has a gargantuan bucket-sized arsehole-neither! or is that her gobshite-mouth!? Whatever. Oh and thickoes who only got in because their parents "donated" a lot of money to HARVARD to make sure their stupid little jerk-off got a place studying something really useless like "alternative religion, yoga and crap". So who does that leave!? Few and far between!? Hm?

Yes you have guessed-it! I am sick-of-your-crap! Elliott Smith! I am joining IVY LEAGUE Dating Agency out of sheer-desperation! Can't be any -worse than the total-and-utter-jerk-offs i met so far in the so-called "Entertainment Industry", now can it,possibly!?

So,You Old-Whore! Looks like i just kicked you to the kerb and showed you the DOOR!? Hm?
Oh!? I feel a sappy-song coming-on!


GOODBYE-THERE'S THE DOOR(YOU OLD WHORE)

Goodbye-you old-whore!

Goodbye you-old-whore!
Goodbye!
If you weren't already playin'-dead-
I'd wish you would shut-the-fuck-up already and die!
Goodbye you-old-whore!
Goodbye!
Ours is not to ask the how the wherefore the why!?
Ours is just to live-and-learn-and then-we die!
Yes, then we die!
So don't cry-you-old-whore!
Don't cry!
Plenty more Phonys-in-the-sea-of-life
To spin-me-their-sordid-little-shitty-web-of-deceit
And find -themselves kicked to the kerb-homeless,i hope in the gutter on the street!
Goodbye you-old-whore!
Goodbye!
Spare you a dime!?
Sorry Asshole!
I don't have the friggin' TIME!
Goodbye you-old-whore!
Goodbye!
If only i had met you when we were both sweet- 17,
And not 20 years-too-late,
With ALL-THE-SHIT-YOU-DONE-IN-BETWEEN!
GOODBYE YOU-OLD-WHORE!
GOODBYE!
THOUGH I'M GRIEVING,
I AIN'T GONNA CRY,NO I AIN'T GONNA CRY,
OVER THE WHERE THE WHEN AND THE WHY!?
GOODBYE YOU OLD-WHORE!
GOODBYE!GOODBYE!
OH WE'RE SO VERY-PRECIOUS-YOU AND I!?
I'M RICH AND I'M GOOD-LOOKIN'-
AND THAT LEAVES YOU!?
HUH!?

What was elliott smith,really? he was a soulless capitalist superficial soulless calculating devious deceitful manipulative callous user and abuser. he was a soulless-wh$re a callous soulless corrupt deceitful lying theiving scummy-man wh$re-he was the bill gates of emo he knew how to manipulate his image to sell his sh$te.what was soulless-wh$re elliott smith's image?MACK-shy 'n'sensitive as boys or men know :the cheap-trix of this kind of lowlife scummy deceitful user and abuser-can't get a bimbo-wh$re in the bar as easy as souless callous repulsive-wh$re sh*t4brains wh$re colin farrell?then try souless-wh$re elliott smith's cheap-trix-play for pity-play the emo-kewl sensitive 'n'shy type- act awkward and blush as you make your calculated-slithering-snake-move on whatever souless piece of shit-wh$re you feel like taking home for a souless-piece of -dogsh*tty-ass sh*tty-wh$re -s$x for the night.isn't that so,souless-wh$re-elliott smith?isn't that how you played it out all those souless-wh$re-years?
elliott smith was a calculating user and abuser-he was smart enough to know-to get-away with it for so long- he would have to maintain the poor- little- me, "heartbroken-act" .he wasn't heartbroken at-all-he just went out and paid for some dogshitty-gash souless parasite-pr$stitute vermin-scum dogsh$tty-s$x if he couldn't sleaze his way into a girl in the bar's pants.Even the girls he did lust over were worthless pieces of souless-dogsh$t-much like himself i guess?

Q:what's the difference between bill gates and elliott smith?
A:bill gates is richer,much much richer.and smarter i guess,he doesn't smoke crack or shoot-up sh*tty smack or crappy ketamine.or tell vunerable young people it is kewl to do so.or write sh*te-songs boasting about his sh*tty scummy s$x-life.

so what's the difference between bill gates and elliott smith?
money-lots and lots of money.

No. I won't stop until the sh*tty "elliott smith memorial fund" is closed-down out of respect for every single abused child on planet Earth .It is what any abuse-therapist would call a "triggering site" (see: diana russell: psychologist and anti-pornographer and anti-abuse writer and campaigner)it has misogynistic sh*tty songs about scummy-man elliott smith's sh*tty scummy s$x-life with vermin-scum s$x-abuser-parasite-prostitutes-kill them all!VERMIN!SCUM!It is a souless callous money grubbing wh$re of a website set-up by his souless callous money-grubbing wh$re family and friends and i want it closed down as a "charity for child-abuse".By all means if elliott smith's money grubbing wh$re family and friends want to extract money out of vunerable young people-just tell them you are a bunch of money grubbing wh$re theives-and if people are stupid enough-they will give you their hard-earned money for free!
not me.
Yours sincerely,
Marianna Jane Close

Well, if you must go on, why don't you tell us what happened to you? What's your story?

What is with this blog. I don't know if you are completely stupid or you have a vandetta against someone you know. Why would you write and admit how completely stupid you are. Bill Gates of Emo? Even if he was an a-hole, he has more talent dead than you will ever have alive. I guess your mother is dead because you could never kiss her with that mouth. Get a life.
