  • nice machine vs mother nature sad beautiful world great underline meanings great did

  • Really dig your video. Great stuff. I'll be sure to check out your other ones.

  • so amazing just found them through Radiohead my favorite band... Sparklehorse is now my second favorite there so good.

  • We just need to work together like farm boys and this world would be prime. Trade shit, work on shit, and if the other kids getting shit. Then dads gonna pull a belt to stop the shit. And then they all work together again. Perfect circle of life. There aint no use for money no more.

    "You aint no man if you got no land"

  • Makes me want to die of sadness.

  • this is touching and amazing

    any fan of sparklehorse might like " Gabriel Williams - Meadowskin "

  • SKINS thanks for making me find this beautiful song!!!

  • gawdfuckingdamn

  • I actually find his death beautiful..

  • @DamagedJustice55 you're sick and twisted.

  • Danmark :)

  • this is amazing if you're a big sparklehourse fan then ' gabriel williams - meadowskin ' is a must listen

  • Man, sorry this guy is gone.

  • @senorblancofueled me too. he was from virginia too; so fucking depressing.

  • What a great tune .This band had it.Shame their no more

  • it sounds so like pale blue eyes by the velvet underground.... just sayin.... but this is a cool song anyway

  • Sad music in Sad world. Sad.

  • This is not a depressings ong. It is about good and bad in life.

  • :(

  • i hate depression, but i love this song because it helps me remember im not the only one

  • If you enjoyed this have a listen to Stheno & Euryale - Valentine

  • People kill themself hoping there will be something better on the other side or thinking they will just disappear in darkness. This is irrational. We don't know anything about eternity and we should try to live our lifes the happiest way we can. Depression is a desease which have to be healed.

  • this song is do depressing it made me kill myself. Yup.

  • Linkous is incredible. Anyone could dismiss this music as depressing and stop listening, but that'd be such a waste - it's really calming, beautiful music which he put a lot of heart into. RIP Mark. Thanks for leaving lots of great music to remember you by.

  • On Spanish: A veces me siento tan triste A veces simplemente me haces enojar Es un mundo triste y hermosa Es un mundo triste y hermosa A veces no se van A veces no puedo decir 'no' Es un mundo triste y hermosa Es un mundo triste y hermosa A veces pasan los días pasados​exceso de velocidad A veces éste parece ser el último Es un mundo triste y hermosa Es un mundo triste y hermosa So simple, so beautiful...
  • Am I crazy or does anyone else find his music scary to listen to now? I used to be a big fan :(

  • I'm glad people identify with Mark's music, and of course, each does it in his or her own way. I think the depression and darkness talk is taking overhand, though. I mean, it's just not what I derive from this music. Sometimes, when something is slow and reflective, immediately people say "depressing" or "dark". There's some of that for sure, but I hear, in equal measure, beauty and longing in this, also.

  • If you are depressed, and an ex cigarette smoker, try smoking a pipe. With a pipe , you do not inhale, you get some nicotine, but the tobacco is much more mellow. It doesn't stink like cigarettes, it's worth a try. It is hard to give up cigarettes, you need the feel good connection of the brain, the pipe tobacco reconnects this dopamine connection without having to inhale into the lungs like cigarretes.

  • I can't listen to sparklehorse any more, it's too sad

  • this song lets me know theres more out there, sad and beautiful song.

  • dude is this song supposed to make wanna commit suicide? cause it only makes me love life, is that weird? haha nice song =)

  • To anyone suffering from depression - go to the fucking doctor. I did. The drugs literally saved my life. I stayed on them for about nine months - now I'm ok.

  • I like your happy songs to,€¤£•¥

  • simply superb..

  • RIP your music will live on forever

  • You still rock my world Mark :) You've helped me through so much in my life and I only wish I could have done the same for you. Your music is an amazing priceless gift that no other artist could even come close to matching. Thank you for saving my life on multiple levels. You were and will ALWAYS be an incredible human being. Rest in peace buddy. Sleep tight forever in that apple bed.

  • Thx. It was shot at Jylland in Denmark. /tunes

  • @tunesoforange Funny, I've been there several times, listening this song on my Ipod when I was on a highway, and I know only now that it has been shot in Jylland... :)

  • where was this video shot? great one

  • I was so upset when i played his music after he died & im now finally going back to it. First time this guy had a sob in years. RIP.

  • it's beautiful :(

  • Beautuful sad thoughtful song, beautiful vid, thanks for uploading.

  • this guy was TOO in touch with his sad self...he stayed too long and got burned;

  • @rosskstar

    That's probably why he shot himself in the chest with a high powered rifle. His music will be greatly missed.

  • Something amazing just happened.

    I listened to a song of sparklehorse and Thom Yorke, when I felt like searching for more sparklehorse...

    I found this song and it's quite beautiful... as it started playing, I googled sparklehorse. This was when I read that Mark Linkous wasn't alive anymore -

    It hit me like a truck, when I just understood the meaning of this song:

    it's a beautiful but sad world we live in... Simple as that. It may be easy to write or say these lines, but actually understa

  • beautiful video, nice one.

  • Mark's suicide was one of the most shocking and saddest things to happen last year. I don't judge why he did it because I didn't know him on that kind of level. Some people struggle with their demons and ultimately decide that it's not worth fighting anymore. It's a sad fate for someone who was so musically talented, but at the same time I am very grateful for the music that he has left behind.

  • i like the song but it kinda sounds like a knock-off "Pale Blue Eyes"

  • @DrumsAndColor

    I noticed that too, but with artists like this, it is more of a homage to his influences, heroes, and the like.

  • I watched a documentary on his life as a local musician in Virginia and it was amazing. I've never seen or even spoken to such a real person before. Even though I never met him in person his music speaks to me like a thousand conversations. Thank you for the inspiration, Mark.

  • It's over a year now Mark since you left this sad and beautiful world and it is a lesser place without you. True genious is rarely recognised however as the many posts on youtube will go to show you were a genious and greatly rcognised. I wish we had met, there is so much I wanted to tell you but-''I'll probably keep it till Saturday' RIP Great One

  • Oh my god! Took me forever to find the window to comment in! Great Video! Linkus to the end! Like on a spanish pirate ship loaded with horses made of silver. His heart comes throught in dripping shades of melting tourtured silica sand and all the fire flames so high only to bring a great diamond closer. Down to the earth...to the earth where he will melt into the sand and someday be loved so dearly, by the ones that discovered him. The ones that loved him TRUE!

  • It's ones beliefs that suicide is selfish and at some points it is, however those whov have taken their life can get past the grief no matter how hard they try. Sometimes it is so deeply engraved into our soul and it becomes all that is known. Sometimes peace for one is sadness for others. Regardless if one believes it selfish or not, he is gone and we have the music to help us. So honor the simple fact of the music. Not sit an question what's been done an for why.

  • reminds me Velvet Underground a lot

  • RIP

  • VU much?

  • I miss you so much, Mark. One of the most depressing things I've ever felt is realizing that the musician who made me want to keep on living, committed suicide.

    We all miss you.

    <3

  • something about this band inspires a lot of great videos

  • Nothing to say, nothing to do but die.

  • This song reminds me of a sad dream I had the other night.

  • wonderful post video and song

  • Hahahaha

    thx

    /tunes

  • rip mark!!!

  • You can really feel/hear the Cracker influence. Kudos on your video. Haunting...

  • RIP

  • The lyrics at the start are similar to the song "Pale Blue Eyes" by the Velvet Underground.

  • best video ever! you should upload a HQ version onto a server for us to download your great work.

  • wow. i've loved this song for years. lovely video

  • This is a beautiful video! Thank you for posting this. I first found out about Sparklehorse through the movie "Boys" with Winona Ryder.

  • Well done for the very tasteful video. It fits the music very well.

  • The title of this song will be the epitaph upon my grave headstone

  • i think my heart just fell out of my ass because of how amazing this song is

  • Hey Tunes, thank you to post this video.

    The best video that i watched this night.

    I've never heard Sparklehorse. It's awesome.

  • Sad & Beautiful song

  • Wow !

    Thanks for sharing your beautiful work.

    galaxigirl is absolutely right, and it soothes the pain somehow.

    ..still devastated though.

  • Comment removed

  • Major Velvet Underground vibe here...in a good way.

  • Just bought the album Vivadixiesubmarinetransmission­plot today. I have to say, what an amazing album. But there's something very poignant about it all.

  • mark

    have a good dream

  • thank you

  • it is...sad and beautiful

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

  • I stumbled onto this guy a while back... sooooooo awesome. So awesome.

  • beautiful video! ;)

  • This video really is just right for "Sad & Beautiful World" and it's just right for that Sparklehorse feel. If a DVD of Sparklehorse videos is ever put out, I hope they include this on it. Just beautiful. 

  • Rest in peace. <3

  • I just clicked on this randommly whilst listening to Low. I'm glad i did, this is just.. wonderful. what other songs would peoplem recommend by Sparklehorse?

  • @GarethW09 everything lol

  • @GarethW09 Gold Day

  • @GarethW09 It's A Wonderful Life, Piano Fire, and Gold Day

  • r.i.p for mark!

  • his songs resonate so much now more than ever. now when i listen, his songs bring to my mind ideas of what he must've been going through. it's hard not to choke up even a little bit when i listen to sparklehorse now.

  • @ronnyim12345 He was my favorite musician; listened to his songs and albums over and over (Devil's New I had a night I must have listened to it 4 hours in a row). I had no idea though that his real life was that depressing and sad.

    I can pretty much not listen to him anymore.

  • the gray winter days are so emblematic of what people with depression feel. Just happened to come across this vid. Beautifully haunting song- and perfect.

  • Sometimes I Feel so happy, sometimes i feel so sad, sometimes i feel so happy, but mostly you just make me mad. baby you just make me mad. -v.u. its similar the beginning. just noticed.

  • mark , Patience and appreciate

    :() Remember him in a good way and let his spirit live on for ever!

  • Very, very good. Thank You.

  • Reading these comments, gives me a real sense of hope and that humility, love and appreciation of others exists behind the murkiness of greed, selfishness and arrogance. Mark did good, giving us the opportunity to reflect on ourselves and others. For all those who suffer in the hands of others, goodwill and peace and a bit of old fashioned integrity remains your right. What a terrible loss. RIP brother.

  • R.I.P. <3

  • If it wasn't for music..

  • This song sums up my depression and anxiety. It simultaneously makes me sad a comforts me all at the same time. People can try to help, but this is the only thing that makes me feel okay. I jsut wish he could see his music is pulling me up from the mud. RIP.

  • @bamfhannah :(  *hug*

  • gota lovit

  • such a beautiful disaster.

  • @urbanminer3 Depression is one of those things that you can't just overcome. To commit suicide, you had to have lost all hope in everything. Depression does this to you, and while other people see it as something easy surpass, it's really one of the most difficult things you could ever fight.

  • @Cookoo4Coconutz Well put.

  • @Cookoo4Coconutz I am complete agreeance with your comment .

  • @Cookoo4Coconutz so very true.... its this music that offers some hope to what seems hopeless, the insides of our hearts, minds and souls..... fragmented, we get torn from the things we love, a blessing to have at least had this much.....

  • @Cookoo4Coconutz

    Look I was there. I have walked that road, and I found a way out. There are stories in each of us that need to be told. It's why we are here. I believe that suicide ISN'T a completion of that story, it's a cop out. If the message is too harsh, well then at least you read it, and MAYBE, JUST MAYBE someone else won't stoop so low as to cheat us all out of the glory that is(was) themselves. Funny how in 10 months and over 300 "dislikes" I never got one mssg from any of you abt it

  • @Cookoo4Coconutz well said lad,depression makes you lose all your hope and joy in life.people that havent suffered depression can't even imagine how is it like being unable to find happiness in anything

  • @urbanminer3 HEY. this guy had a tortured life....he saw himself as a monsterr when he was an incredible man. have pitty on mark soul. every life is a pile of good things and a pile of bad things. and for marks poor poor life, the bad pile was far bigger than the good. so shut up when you think he's selfish. cuz it was remaks like that that led him to killing himself.

  • @xlrious1 you are so right Sparklehorse alis Mark went my life up side down. I just learn to now hes mucis

  • Great Song! Great Video! You did a wonderful job in capturing the feelings and tones of this masterfully simplistic song.

  • absolutely....sad and beautiful....tragic and exhilarating...but why Mark? Just don't get it. You left us gifts and now we get to open them without you around. Just thank you....the last time I felt this sad was when June and Johnny died.

  • I rode a horse once. But it did NOT sparkle.

    Glad You're Free Now,

  • RIP Mark, hope you find peace.

  • A well shot and edited video here.. Perfect for the song. Nice work! :D

  • beautiful

    I am still saddened

  • it kind of sucks finding out he died from youtube comments...but then again it would have sucked any other way...RIP Mark

  • Agreed. Many self-made videos don't work, but this one moves me. Thank you.

  • R.I.P. Mark

  • this seems especially moving, with the recent terrible news of Mr. Linkous' death. Tragic.

  • One of Mark's best -- perfectly summarizes his perspective and his art. Also great are "Shade and Honey," "See the Light," etc etc

  • love it

  • My friend you have made a very beautiful video .

    I've only got one CD (his first, with this on it) but i'm going to have to catch up now , i always liked it,can't explain why i missed his later stuff.

    Farewell you sad old soul.......

  • thx

    /tunes

  • @shackbhoy Your friend is from denmark. I like it. very fine

  • it's a sad & beautiful world...........R.I.P.

  • nice video. usually these things suck

  • Mark it would be nice to know you could read this..

    We love you...and like me...many of us are angry with you...we'll deal with it...just go on and make more music where ever you are bound

    Rest In Peace Buddy

  • RIP.

    So sad.

    Gotta say, this is a brilliant video.

    Thanks

  • it's been three days now and i still feel sadness overwhelming me. kinda lost some best friend :(((((

    hope you found your peace Mark!

    we'll keep on with your music.

  • RIP Mark, truly a sad day in music with this and the loss of Vic Chestnut

  • so long, mark

  • ya these clips really show the sad and beautiful world

  • You've made a wonderful video. It should be the "official" video as I can't imagine a better set of imagery to go with the song. :-)

  • thx

    /tunes

  • will miss this sad and beautiful artist....

  • sometimes it all hurts too much. depression is an illness that is just as important as cancer. suicide takes too many wonderful people. i am sorry that he never found the help that he needed to overcome. RIP :(

  • @kidaok00

    :) peace love light~

  • good tune... RIP... Travel well...

  • I am so annoyed about this great great loss....

  • I had the pleasure of meeting Mark in Glasgow. An honour and a privilege, as I believe he was finest songwriter of this generation. He will be sorely missed by those touched by his music. R.I.P. Mark.

  • R.I.P.

  • All his music is really mellow, sad. Touches you in the heart, where it matters. Shame such a great artist had to go. It's a sad and beautiful world.

  • I discovered his music right now when i read news about musician's death. I own this knowledge thanks to Death [sic!], his music is so nice...

  • Listening to Mark's music today, I am sad but it doesn't make me feel depressed. His music was and is still just so real, pure and beautiful. He was such a positive force in so many people's lives and will be for many many years. A prince of an artist. I hope he found peace he has helped so many people find and make their own peace. His music was just too genuine not to be believed. God bless you Mark. We will miss you. There is just so much love and hope in this music.

  • RIP Mark

  • Comment removed

  • I feel so sorry for this man and his family. Also for others who feel so bad that they want to commit suicide. Terrble loss.

  • Thank You Mark for the beautiful music you made!

  • see you on the other side

  • Shot himself through the heart.

  • @PunisherSlayer

    You just said all the wrong things, my friend.

  • always loved this song, RIP Mark, thank you.

  • I had so many times wirth his music...

  • I've never heard of these guys until he passed on. I think I might cover this tune, it has a lot of soul. It is a sad and beautiful world out there. Makes you wonder what makes it sad...

  • what a wonderful tune.

  • you made the world better, m. i am sorry the world did not make you better. peace at last.

  • He isn't resting...He is dead...Do these people who commit suicide even think what this will do to their family members? If you are this sad...go and talk to a Dr. please...Think of how everyone who knows you will feel if you do this to yourself.

  • RIP

    What a fuckin Sad World is right........

  • Such an appropriate title. It's really painful to hear him sing this right now, and yet I'm transfixed.

  • it's a more sad, and less beautful world. *sniff*

  • rest in peace

  • Very sad news. RIP Mark.
