Say Yes by Elliott Smith

About Say Yes

Elliott Smith wrote Say Yes (presumably) at the end of his relationship with musician Joanna Bolme. “'Say Yes' was written about someone particular,” Smith said in one interview, “and I almost never do that. I was really in love with someone”. As the song’s lyrics illustrate, Smith wanted her back. Say Yes is one of Elliott Smith’s simplest pieces: in an interview with Spin magazine, Smith claimed to have written the song “in five minutes… during an episode of Xena: Warrior Princess with the sound off”. .
