about this song
“Elevate Me Later” is Pavement’s second song on the album Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain written by Stephen Malkmus. The title complements the song’s critique of society’s typical upper class by dismissing personal economic “elevation” for a “later” time. In the first verse circumstances associated with lower-class individuals and those in poverty are described; in the second, the topics approached are associated with wealth and economic prestige.
