Sparklehorse, "Painbird"

[westernNYnativ]

I wish I could sing that well when I was sick...

[definitelymaybelf]

so beautiful...

RESPECT...

[definitelymaybelf]

bad stuff happened during that week...terminal stuff culminating on the 12th...

[michaelscreen]

Mark, I would love to have met you and talked you out of it! Our painbirds could have flown away together while we could have worked out how to stop them returning home?

le monde a perdu un grand artiste mon coeur saigne

[ColtVonInc]

I discovered Mark's work after he had already passed, and became extremely depressed upon realizing that, not only would I never be able to see him perform, but that a man who created such beautiful art thought the only viable choice was suicide. Along with Jeff Mangum, who has stopped producing music for different reasons, Linkous was the only person creating music with any kind of real passion, something sorely lacking from today's music.

R.I.P. Mark, you beautiful soul.

@ColtVonInc

Mark left a truly beautiful body of work behind him and will be sorely missed. Fortunately there are others out there who are producing music on such a level. You should listen to Mark Kozelek for starters; he's the driving force behind Red House Painters and Sun Kil Moon. He's been creating beautiful, passionate music for 20 years that's up there with the best of what Linkous was putting out before we sadly lost him...

[rohanso]

talented, sad motherfucker. so many of us would kill for his talent, yet he killed himself. i can't begin to understand how sad he must've felt. my condolences to his loved ones.

[songsoferiknyberg]

Truly great.

[vuttuv]

beautiful...

[novocain13]

Who the hell Doesn't like this?? Well nevermind.. I love it.. Rest in Peace Mark..

[fatnynja]

Mark made an ingenious twist on blues guitar that touches the soul like no other band :)

[dcoop90]

No Mark, the singing was not bad.

[degree7]

[DiscardedHarmony]

[xlrious1]

[heyjude97]

Damn This Song Its So Fucking Amazing And Sad : ( i Miss You Mark Linkous

[cozzmtt]

il migliore



[pittchaser]

genius guitarist...

[sortilegus]

great song. so sad in retrospect. does anyone know if he ever released a live album? there's something lacking in the studio albums i think, though i can't put my finger on it.

[NRudiak]

@sortilegus I really wish he had. There's barely even any live footage of him on youtube :(.

Fantastic musician. And I agree with you, the Good Morning Spider songs better live

[jedisparkle]

ce qu'iil faut de malheur pour la moindre chanson

ce qu'il faut de regrets pour payer un frisson

ce quil faut de sanglots pour un air de guitare
