Mark took his life on a Saturday, this is the only Sparklehorse song with a day of the week name :( did he really knew something we don't? i do know something he doesn't.. man.. that i really miss him..
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.
i'm a big sparklehorse fan and have just recorded an original song for my youtube, would appreciate it if anyone checks it out and lets me know what they think
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'
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
how the fuck does this shit get on film? or anywhere? seriously.. what the fuck....sounds like a saturday night at the local open mic....when there is nothing but the drunk left to sing....
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.
