This was so miserable, I really don't get it, I would like to understand, but whenever I hear sparklehorse I think, why do people collaborate with this person, I mean there must be something there and I must just be blind to it. Maybe I just don't believe him when he sings these words, but in general it all sounds so lackluster and yet forced. As I said I'm sure I'm wrong, but this just does nothing for me.
If you are wearing headphones you will feel like mark is whispering "Wish you were here" into your ear, a couple times near the end...Its quite haunting to be honest but very beautiful at the same time
Writer: WATERS/NELSON/JONES So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, Blue sky's from pain. Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? And did they get you to trade Your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange A walk on part in the war For a lead role in a cage?

great video...makes u think....was just watching Lords of dogtown for the 1000 time...n decided to play this....we cant change the world, until we change ourselves....
This is Mark Linkous(Sparklehorse) featuring Thom Yorke for the "Lords Of DogTown" Soundtrack. 2005. ( Thom Yorke sang his part on the telephone from his hotel room where you can hear his TV in the background).
a very depressing video & a grim reminder to everyone that all is not well and perfect in our world... we are so easy to forget & turn blind to all the pain and sufferings... we need to change our world right now.
it seems to scape many that the message of this specific version is the LACK of human compassion, the lack of the human potential for good from our so called civilization: where is compassion? I wish you were here.
"However, if we discover a complete theory, it should in time be understandable by everyone, not just by a few scientists. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists and just ordinary people, be able to take part in the discussion of the question of why it is that we and the universe exist. If we find the answer to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason -- for then we should know the mind of God." - Stephen Hawking
I actually shed a tear because of this video. Seeing the best and worst of humanity.. It just brings out the beauty of life and and it's something very deep. Hard to explain.
I love the way they put this cover together...for the first time since I've heard this song someone other than Pink Floyd made it their own...I'm going to miss Mark...he was a genius
The things we consider foreign, and the things we consider domestic. The things we consider acceptable, and the things we consider unacceptable. The things we do, and the things we don't. We are all beautiful, and we are all fucking disgusting.
Cuanto mas estupido sos vos Jorgek92 que te tomas el trabajo de traducir lo que yo digo.... quien es mas estupido?... el estupido que habla... o el estupido que lo escucha?....
@theunraveler The video is designed to make you think. It catches those moments you either see everyday and ignore or the ones you never see. If you're asking WHATS IT ABOUT???? I don't know
How many times i said to you, i wish you where here, surly it be like heaven, a nice green field we can run, our lives are very sad sometimes... very angry and sorrow so long... but when i think of you, i remember that picture about you holding a little baby, i feel we where just one bird sharing the same pair of wings to fly to heaven... it be nice if we could search happiness...
is not difficult that we can be happy... i know it... i have feel that what others don't want to feel...
The song is lovely. The video is a *bit* harsh!!! I'd much rather commemorate the wonderful artist that Mark Linkous was with something other than gruesome images.
Like all great artists- Mark made this song his own changing the tone and texture of this great Pink Floyd song completely- so much more of an interpretation than a cover. I can truly say that in my mind and heart these two different versions do not compete but exist completely apart from each other. I love them both equally- (just like I love my kids all the same).
@SuperSjarel Yes, I wasn't totally surprised at the news, but he really was one of the good guys, surely Simon Cowell finds it hard to live sometimes I wish he'd been tempted instead!
I totally agree with you, but like someone above me said - when a good artist does a cover, they turn it into a different song whilst still paying homage. In that respect, this cover is phenomenal.
Don't know if it is a sad indictment on me, but I tend to feel more sympathy for the animal kingdom nowadays. Video kind of covers all the bases and emotions, but still makes you think "what a sh1tty little world man has created!?" at the end.
I almost cried at Thom's part. I noticed he wasn't singing any verse, just saying ''wish you where here...'' with strange sounds in backward. I smiled when in notice it, cause theres no one else than thom to do such a good thing :P
