Questions regarding Elliot Smith

1. Do we listen to Elliot Smith because we are depressed, or does listening to Elliot Smith make us depressed? *

2. Is Elliot Smith's music depressing on its own, or does the fact that Elliot Smith stabbed himself in the chest two times to commit suicide make it more depressing to listen to?

I suppose we'll never know. Anybody listen to his stuff before he killed himself? I have only recently discovered his music, so I can't help.

Regardless, its probably not the best thing to listen to following a breakup.

*With apologies and much respect to Nick Hornby.
