  • איש גאון שהלך מאיתנו וחבל

  • De mis bandas favoritas

  • I like this version best, the voice from Mark is a little bit fuzzy but so nice.

  • i really love sparklehorse music

  • GREAT I DIDNT KNOW ABOUT THIS!!

  • I hope footage of the rest of this performance/session one day comes to light.

  • I know he left us on a Saturday , but that should have no reflection on this song whatsoever.Mark had acute pains from manic depression and probably didn't even know what day it was when he took his life.The way he lives now is in his awesomely constructed songs and lyrics.I listen to Sparklehorse everyday.

  • this sounds better than the song itself <3

  • This song makes me so happy even through being so sad.

  • Very special!

  • RIP.........

  • Does anybody else think this is Dylanesque? Mark you were truely great, of all your great tracks this is surely THE ONE. RIP mate and let's all 'Save it till Saturday'

  • everyone should leave the world with a song like this to their name.

  • I'll see you soon enough, Mark. oooh Saturdaaaayy.....

  • thank you

  • see you in saturday everyday

  • RIP

  • Absolutely brilliant!!!! I'll miss you Mark.

  • Why oh why?

  • amazing.

  • It's sad because he actually died on Saturday.

  • Nice song!

  • Yeah! Love it!

  • haha, i love the drummers facial expressions

  • RIP Mark, thank you for the wonderful music.

  • this song sounds much better with a pedal steel guitar playing the chord change riffs instead of the piano.

    thanks trebleboostboy for making me realize he killed himself on a saturday. well, he was true to his word...he told us how he felt on saturday. :*(

  • fly home, Mark. We miss you.

  • no offense, but drums are too loud

  • Goddamn it! I found out about this 3 days after a very very close friend shot himself in his car surrounded by the cops. I wanted to listen to this song cause it made me think of him, then I read the comments and see that Mark Linkous did the same thing. SO SO SAD!

  • Such a sad, sad day... I think he would have liked to hear how Rawley Taylor has interpreted his wonderful song.

  • I'd Go to Hell and Back to See You Smile!

  • RIP Mark.... Great Musician... You are not Forgotten

  • R.I.P.

  • Sorry I knew less of your music...I've got some catching up to do!

    Is that Johnny Hott on drums?

    Poor Johnny has lots of mates lately!

  • shocking not surprising. you will be missed

  • "You are a star

    You are a sea of air"

  • Sort of sounds like knockin' on heaven's door at the start

  • gutted mark... r.i.p this song is even more emoyioal now that you`ve gone dude... now you can be the persued "happy man" your albums will always be played in my life dude... the painbirds are truly singing brother!

  • So sad that he took his own life, I found out about Sparklehorse about a year ago, and liked their remake of the song, Wish you were here. And now the lead singer is dead, so sad. Love this song by the qway.

  • fail

  • i remember the day i first heard vixadix..been a fan ever synce, rip..thanks so much for all the great music : (

  • :( great men

    rip

  • Oh Mark "I'd walk to hell and back to see you smile on Saturday" :(

  • RIP Mark

  • damn damn damn. I am sad now. was very much looking forward to years of more great work from Mark.

  • It's sad that it took suicide for this guy to be recognized by the masses.

  • I didn't know of him until I read it in the paper today, too. Sounds amazing.

  • Man, I've found this beautiful music because he died. Sad world we live in. RIP I loved the music and will check out all I can.

  • Rest In Peace Mark

  • I don't want to believe it.

    RIP Mark

  • reminds me of reading Violeta Parra's bio, she wrote Gracias a la vida, and volver a los 17, makes the songs much sadder.

  • The good shit will never appeal to the masses( probably a good thing)..but jesus christ I wish they would try....KE$HA?? ..really?????????

  • R.I.P.

  • I read the awful news today, got home from work, put Gold Day on, and cried. I just found his stuff so wonderfully uplifting. I can't believe he's gone.

    Rest In Peace Mark

  • rest in peace mark, you will live on in my ipod forever more... we love you dearly, and your obsession for horses!!!.

  • ha ha... very true mate... good job i`m from the uk, and that stuff hapens greatly!

  • R.I.P. Mark

  • Light&Love

  • RIP

  • was he sick maybe? so sad.

  • He was an angel in a tortured body. Fly high to the light Mark. We love you.

  • @mountainsofpeace Just because a person is a musician doesnt make him an angel... jeez.

  • Murgroena, You are right, "just because a person is a musician doesn't make him an angel". I said that because he was a friend of mine and I knew that side of him.

  • @mountainsofpeace Okay sorry then, my mistake. It's a frequently occuring thing though, fans calling their favourite artists "angels" or such words, when they don't even know the persons behind the music. There's a genious cult not so unlike the one about 100-200 years ago, where people saw artists as gods and saints, when really then are just humans like the rest of us, you know?

  • Yea , I know what you mean. Thats why I had to clarify. He probably wasn't more of an angel than most of us, but I tend to see the divine side of people. He's could be laughing at this right now.

  • @Murgroena you are overanalyzing too much

  • bye Mark ;(

    such a great band

  • I love this song. Very sad news, my regards and love to all his family and friends.

  • Why you leave so fast? :-( Rest in peace, Mark.

  • very sad day.

  • sounds a bit like 'you are so beautiful' by joe cocker

  • ......and it was on saturday.

    this is a sadly thing.

    x.

  • a very sadly thing indeed

  • The good die young. So sad to hear this. I always thought the saying "he was too beautiful for this world" is so cheesy. Until now. Now, it all makes sense. R.I.P. Mark.

  • rest in peace man

    i grow up with your music

    some of his songs will always remind me of particular moments in my life

  • I'd walk to hell and back, to see you smile...... great lyrics

  • How do you spell rhythm?

  • what is that on the piano? and where could i get one?

    i'm in need on one, i write and play music myself and Mark linkous is such an inspiration

  • Sparklehorse is already a band.

  • Definitely Knockin on Heavan's Door, but I don't care, it sounds great and I love this song.

  • Comment removed

  • what an awesome voice mister linkous has

  • wow,,,,sinfonicamente espectacular.

  • i love this song. it really captures linkous' creativity. definitely, sparklehorse is an acquired taste. fans of three doors down, trapt, puddle of mudd...yeah, they'll not like sparklehorse. "he has such a strange voice."  that person could've posted a worse and/or more stupid comment.

  • i like those bands too, but i like sparklehorse too.

  • Comment removed

  • It's nothing like "Knockin on Heaven's Door". The melody is totally different.

  • its the same chord progression, and rythm.

  • i actually kinda thought it sounded like "simple man" ... thats just me though... i love it though!

  • haha yeah i was thinking of "simple man" also.

  • Comment removed

  • um knocking on heavens door? still i really like this band

  • WONDERFUL VERSION

  • what a strange voice he has...

  • holy crap yes

  • Congrats on posting to the world that you are indeed stupid.

    I bet you can't wait to get your hands on that new Foo Fighters record! That's some deep shit. if it's not out yet you can always throw in the last 3 doors down record and it should be the same. No question you own it.

    Jacktard!

  • almost sounds like Sweet Child Of Mine

  • knocking on heavens door sir:)

  • Some weird comments here. I think it''s a lovely song.

  • you no don't sense make when speak you.

  • Why doesn't he make sense. He's pretty much saying:

    THEY SUCK

  • to the moon and back, i could never go that far... on a bike that sounds lika jetsons flying space car

  • Blame them for the awful version of a song in Nightmare Before Christmas Revisited...

  • Shitty nightmare before christmas was not even worthy of them

  • :O

    Did you just diss the Nightmare Before Christmas?

  • adores that his basdrum is a oldschool travelbag!

  • i've never seen anyone do that before XD

  • awesome, they do their own thing and no-one does it better

  • so so true

  • Finally an original video. I hate this kind of music, but I respect it, I met a nice person who is into this kind of music.

    I see myself listening to this music more often /_\

  • lol elliot smith with a goatie
