  • I am floating on a cloud

  • Really good.

  • Isn't it ironic, how most of Mark's songs were full of hope and life and love and so much genuine tenderness. No one who didn't know him personally would never have guessed. He could have kept on singing about the beautiful things we have to look forward to in life. It makes me falter a little. But then again, maybe I can do what he wasn't able to and pick up the goodness where he left it. And who knows, maybe it is just as he sings it - a wonderful life.

  • Did a little research because I had never heard of this band before, and I felt a pang of sadness in my stomach after reading that he killed himself. :'(

  • Dandelion brought me here.

  • TOP brought me here :)

  • @imA51ANnbd888 me 2(:

  • :'( RIP

  • this song made it a wonderful life <3

  • It's sad to see such a beautiful soul take their own life. Guys like him and Elliott, I can relate with those guys. I've been where they've been at and it sucks they couldn't get past it.

  • Such a good song, heard it in the indie film Dandelion! :)

  • this like dream

  • What a great tune .This band had it.Shame their no more.Saw them in The Chapel Islington in the 90,s .Along with Blind melon at the time their sound was so different

  • Look: Rhymesayersfan21 and RE8978RETURN on video: /watch?v=MfJcEziJcy4

  • @RadioStarDude yeah, lol I took down the comments. I'm pretty sure Mark would've found it ridiculous...thanks

  • this is so great! they make no sense but the uniqueness of this intrigues me!

  • WHAT THE EFF IS ALL THIS ANGER ABOUT?!?!?

    Chill out. Listen to the song. Be at peace. NOBODY likes self-richeous angsty douches. NOBODY.

  • prisoner36 brought me here

  • @MrWardestr0yer @MrWardestr0yer So one of my closest family friends that commited suicide will never be remembered?

    You are a disgrace to society, my friend.

  • I wonder how much money this shit band invests into pre-ripped jeans...

  • @MrWardestr0yer Whoa! Chill out bro. Please go troll some other videos....

  • It's a wonderful song, I think now this is my favorite song. Thank you, Mark :)

  • Thanks Mark. RIP

    

  • Giving this music to my children, 100% authentic! Love you Mark, thinking about you.

  • this is my lullaby.. i fall asleep to this every night and i always will. it makes the morning feel like its worth waking up for.

  • just discovered him today and i fell in love when i hit play.. just read the comments and it said hes dead omg why couldnt i discovered you before !!cimh (crying in my hands)

  • just discovered him today and i fell in love when i hit play.. just read the comments and it said hes dead omg why couldnt i discovered you before !!cimh (crying in my hands)

  • just discovered him today and i fell in love when i hit play.. just read the comments and it said hes dead omg why couldnt i discovered you before !!cimh (crying in my hands)

  • just discovered him today and i fell in love when i hit play..

  • 24 people don't have a wonderful life.

  • i rented his cd at the library 5 years ago and have played it everyday since. dude was insanely talented RIP

  • @radskate88 u need to return that cd to the library

  • I remember the album this was from and I loved the shit out of it and had a couple others but didn't think they were as good but then I didn't hear from mark linkous for a long time. Then, two amazing albums and well, now nothing. This song to me is like a standard, a little nonsense song you hum can hum when your working because the lyrics are perfectly indecipherable. Its a perfect pop song I think, only distorted into some strange dark and beautiful shape.

  • When listening to this song, I think about my childhood. It makes me smile sometimes and other times it makes me cry. Anyone else?

  • I hate the way the view count has x4 since he has died (it just feel bad that for his band to "make it" he had to kill himself)

  • Sparklehorse is so good! I wish I would have found out about them before Mark died. He'll live forever in the spirit of his songs.

  • very great psichedelic song

  • RIP DUDE.

  • i didn't know he died this..is so...fuck'd up.

  • There's something so painful and sad about this song, something so tragic in the irony, listening to it now after his suicide. So so beautiful, but that voice is so so haunted....

  • New release: Heaven and a Star (a tribute to Mark Linkous)

    Search "Johnny Cordner" and "bandcamp"

  • 22 dumbass dislikes this video !

  • i want this song on my funeral too :(

  • i like this song

  • Dandelion was a pretty decent film...

  • Truth: a percentage of the dislikes come by nature of accident. I live to pass this truth on. Live on, YouTubers, and stay wild. The world is not so blind if you look at it with open eyes. Assume the best of people. What one perceives as wrong (say, the number of dislikes) another perceives as a simple misguided action.

    Hah! Laugh because you know the words to be true ; it is indeed "A Wonderful Life" :D

  • SKINS <3

  • @fatyetskinny. Even if you don't like someones music, what reason does that give you for wanting them dead? Did you know him? Almost definately not. Go crawl into the dark, damp hole you came from and don't come out.

  • @guitarkidv1 nothing against you or your point but why does everyone spell definitely with an "a" grrrr!

  • @hanno12345 Actually this mispelling has been so overused that it is an official alternative spelling of the word "definitely", just like theatre/theater or center/centre. Weird because I get annoyed by that as well.

  • @JuanBNO you spelled misspelling wrong.

  • @JuanBNO

    Theater/Theatre as well as centre or center depens on where you come from.

    If you are English you would go for "re" and the American go for "er",

    Just like color and colour..

  • when i die, i want to be listining to this song.... just saying. :)

  • @mollymalfunction when I die, I hope I want to listen to this song...

  • @fatyetskinny Youre the prick here, if you think something suck then dont search for the music you stupid idiot. Youre glad he offed himself... hmmm, know what that sounds like to me? A prick talking

  • @TheMasterOfSounds If you have hate, then please keep it to yourself

  • @fatyetskinny Like you will ever do anything meaningful to society. LOL. Your comment is a laughable reflection of you dissatisfaction with yourself and the outcome of your own life.

  • @aliceannmarquiess If you have hate, then please keep it to yourself

  • @fatyetskinny Obvious troll is obvious.

  • @fatyetskinny

    Really troll? Get some fucking music taste and respect for people .

  • rip mark linkous :( so tragic

  • i didnt even know about this band until my friend told me about it, theyre great, i only know about this band because my friend is related to mark, hes also probably the best guitarist i know

  • I LOVE YOU SPARKLEHORSE

  • I LOV E YUOOOOOO SPARKLEHORSE, YEAH....EXCELLENT

  • #OMG wwwwowww super clownload іt роор.su

  • The saddest thing about Mark's passing, and perhaps very ironic... is that if I had 0.5% of the talent this man had... I would be the happiest man on earth.

  • god this song is amazing. always been my favorite sparklehorse song.

  • I wonder if Sparkle horse and smog are friends?

  • I first heard this song on the film Dandelion where a boy was dreaming about suicide... poetic, I guess. :(

  • What happened to him? Could someone tell me?

  • he shot himself in the chest with a rifle.

  • I was fortunate enough to have seen Sparklehorse when he/they supported David Gilmour at the Royal Festival Hall. It's a wonderful life was the then current album and I'm really glad I was introduced to it. Another sad passing of a fabulous musician.

  • i wonder what that mysterious last textmessage he received said....

  • NEGATIVE!!!!

  • @Periculo8910 Then don't watch and move along to a different video.

  • @iasdasdasdii I watch whatever I want, so you move along. Simply thought this was maybe going to be a good song/band, apparently it's not so I expressed my opinion.

  • @Periculo8910 fair 'nuff. you like what you like. i for the record like sparklehorse though..alot :)

  • @SuperUkuleleGirl Good for you :)

  • @Periculo8910 no point in yelling at someone just cause they don't share your taste in music in my opinion :)

  • @SuperUkuleleGirl Yelling? :)

  • @Periculo8910 you know what i mean..

  • @SuperUkuleleGirl I most certainly do not! Good day to you.

  • @Periculo8910 huh? well that was wierd.. i really just meant how everyone was having a go at you on the comments for not liking sparklehorse. didn't mean to offend you..

  • @SuperUkuleleGirl Oh well in that case, thanks. I misunderstood.

  • @Periculo8910 Congratulations, thanks for you're incite. Now let me give you an inciteful reply: I don't fucking care if you don't like this song, I do.

  • RIP sparklehorse

  • Anyone else think his music is incredibly underrated?

  • why did he kill himself?

  • @Scoob505 Why is grass green?

  • @Joehands0me chlorophyll

  • @mrbrightside7500 haemogloben?

  • @Joehands0me oh snap its joehandsome hey i love your cod4 montages dude they're awesome cool to see you like sparklehorse too :)

  • love it...........

  • It's not so sad to die when you leave something like this behind

  • @Schizima you are a beautiful person for thinking that. and i admire you.

  • SPARKLECOCK

  • Rest in peace Mark!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • going to share your work with YT friends.

    kk

  • a wonderful fan vid, Fermiimplosive, really appreciated music and the film. i regret i only came upon your work and the music by Mark too late. but such good music will live in the fans hearts forever and the great musician will sing for them eternally.

    May your days be filled with LOVE LIGHT and MUSIC, Dear Friend!

    krysana, Poland

  • @krysant50 I LOVE YOU SPARKLEHORSE

  • oh mark didn't you see? it's a wonderful life, you sang it yourself. i miss you already

  • So talented, so depressed, so disastrous, so brilliant. He will be either be piled upon by the dust of history or lately be recognized as one of the greatest uncovered and unrewarded talents of the music industry ever.

  • @orwbarcelona01 i know, just like joy division. Sparklehorse's music will be later cited as some of the greatest of this generation.

  • The keyboard is sampled from the Thinking Fellers Union Local 282 song 'Noble Experiment'.

  • Rest in peace, Mark Linkous.

  • This song kind of reminds me of The Real Tuesday Weld.

  • oh my god what a freaking shame why does the talent artists have to be gone so soon I guess the world is too fucked for them to be

  • Its a pitty dont know him before. anyway his songs leave me with a hole the heart and all his sadness

  • My friend used to recommend me Sparklehorse all the time, but I never really listened to him. I regret it a lot.

  • i got dumped by my gf the other day... this song just makes me feel worse but hey

  • How good is he. Can't get enough.

  • RIP his music is sooo beautiful, and knowing his demise...having a chem imbalance myself I just get it, that moment of clarity, and you make something of beauty in that moment.

  • R.I.P. Mr. Linkous

  • @supersonyk Did he die!!!? I cant fucking believe it. Oh man, what a loss. :(

  • want this song playing when i die...

  • Do horses SPARKLE??

  • @AudiophileTubes vampires apparently do, so why not horses

  • @hafsteinn

    HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

  • "i'm full of peace"

    now you are

  • @theyearofourlordig88 it's "i'm full of bees who died at sea"

  • mark linkous was such a profound musician. It's so sad to hear that he died.. but some comments that i have noticed have pissed me off something awful..

    @ DubyaDubyaE

    advertising your contemplation of suicide is the lousiest thing you can do. You complete and total botch

  • @mentallyxderanged Maybe you should re-read what I said. I made my comment in regards that Mark's music is helping me think less about it and helps me get through some of those days I want to. I'm not advertising anything except for how Mark and Sparklehorse is some of the most beautiful music ever made.

  • @DubyaDubyaE actually you did say you were thinking about killing yourself... Whether it was an intentional advertisement or not you still advertised it. Yes the music is amazing and beautiful, but surely your life isn't that bad. Take a concrete pill, harden up, realize there is atleast 1,000,000 other people who have it way worse than you and stop moping about your own melancholy.

  • I've been thinking about killing myself lately.

    Maybe I'll make music with Mark when I'm gone...

    Right now his music is just helping me pass some of the time.

  • Sowas öööödes habe ich schon lange nicht mehr gehört. Ist ja grauenhaft!

  • so beautiful, too bad he's gone this music is brilliant

  • Started listening to Sparklehorse after I read Colin's entry on Radioheads website. Made me quite sad as soon as I'd heard a few songs, Mark made some truly beautiful music. Rest in peace, Mr. Linkous.

  • R.I.P.

  • I just started listening to Sparklehorse. I think they have some really great material..

    I'm sad to hear that Mark is no longer here to express his ideas. I hope you found peace friend wherever it may be.

  • :(

    R.I.P.

  • AMAZING!!!!!! Beautiful. R.I.P. Mark.

  • IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE!!!

  • It was a more wonderful life with Mark.

    Rest in Peace.

  • another dead hero

  • Thank you Mark...R.I.P

  • a glow.....thx mark,rest in peace my friend!!

  • man this is sad

  • rubbish

  • sad to discover an artist when he's gone ..

  • @dylanremaster Oh yeah... I didn't even heard of sparklehorse until Mark died on march 6 th , then i'm a fan ... It's just wonderful music.. " sad& beautiful world " this song is just EPIC . Wish i knew this band before he died ...

  • @dylanremaster It is isn't it? All this reminds me of Elliot Smith so much. Both amazing artists.

  • @dylanremaster Yes, but better late than never, he was truly on his own making original creative music, not for everyone, but us in the know really thought he was quite something.

  • @dylanremaster My thoughts exactly.

  • @dylanremaster i agree i just found out about them yesterday and was bummed by the end of the day to find out about his sadness and tragic end

  • I can sooo relate to this song and artist.
