97. Elliott Smith "Happiness"
My friend Kenny once called this one of the saddest songs he'd ever heard and at first it's kind of hard to understand this, particularly the studio version. It's an upbeat song with an almost bouncy drumbeat but underneath it is one of Elliott's finest displays of lyricism in his typical cryptic manner. "What I used to be will pass away and then you'll see / That all I want now is happiness for you and me." beautifuls.
