Song
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”.
