"Miss Misery"—included in the soundtrack for the film
Good Will Hunting (1997)—was nominated for an Oscar in the Best Original Song category in 1998.
Smith was a heavy drinker and drug user, and was also diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and major depressive disorder.
His struggles with drugs and mental illness impacted his life and work, with these topics often appearing in his lyrics.
In 2003, aged 34, he died in Los Angeles, California, from two stab wounds to the chest.
The autopsy evidence was inconclusive as to whether the wounds were self-inflicted or the result of homicide.
At the time of his death, Smith was working on his sixth studio album, From a Basement on the Hill, which was posthumously completed and released in 2004."
Will Morgan in the podcast mentioned doing an internet search on Elliot Smith and finding him pictured wearing a t-shirt with horses on it.
