Someday I Will Treat You Good

[iggys138]

i just heard this watching Laurel canyon. Sounds a little like Doughboys to me. LOVE the bass sounds so melodic.

[theblackparade1039]

Somehow Sparklehorse is the one band that I want to show everyone I love.

[DjRodimusPrimeXyZ]

thanks for posting brings back alot of good memories when 120 was on and mtv was still mtv good times

[HypocraticOaf]

This would be brilliant if he didn't steal the line "everything that's made is made to decay" from Daniel Johnston. Wait, no it's still brilliant.

[bailey1663]

God bless the late great Mark Linkous!

[dazedandawake]

I love the first 13 seconds of this song more than anything else in the world.

[Almostpwned]

who is the woman who stars in this video? she's so intriguing, but I haven't come across anyone who knows her identity...

[pendragonU]

What was she doing with that puppet at 0:51????

[Evilushka]

Love this song...And I remember having such a crush on the girl in this video when I was like 16!

[xlrious1]

one person got left on the side of the highway

[xlrious1]

love the song, hate that he's dead :, (

[IffySpiffy1380]

.The sparklehorse sound does crazy things to me. Especially this song. His production, and voice are at a heighth.

[thebjm1967]

laurel canyon movie....?

[ultraudv]

this song was used in a movie , any1 knows the name of the movie ? :| pls

[sorbole750]

This video is strikingly similar to '"Teen Angst" by Cracker. Almost same scenario, almost same bike, almost same dogs. But this one is from 1996, the video by Cracker is from 1992. Very strange coincidence anyway.

[NRudiak]

@sorbole750 they were friends, and even wrote "Sick of Goodbyes" together (both Sparklehorse and Cracker have great versions of the song). I'd be surprised if it was totally coincidental.

[fkguitar]

I did sound for him several times at Maxwell's in Hoboken, and The Fez in NYC. I feel privileged to have met him, and honored to have shared in his musical experience in some small way.

sad...

[lepaul2002]

that chicken rocks

[toxicbarbietx]

Will be genuinely missed.

[sorbole750]

Who is the girl who moves the puppet? I almost felt in love with her.

[bassthing26]

Went to see Thomas White who played this tune and blew me away. i didn't realize he had passed away. The album is pure brilliance, so his memory lives on.

[CarlLikes]

Now that he's dead people will finally realize what a mindblowing song and video this is.

[jimbrown257]

@CarlLikes

"Mindblowing"...was that a intentional pun? You do know how he died, right?

[SiThePi]

@jimbrown257 ... Shelby Meade (Mark's manager) released a statement saying Mark had shot himself in the heart. Poignant even in death.

[jimbrown257]

@SiThePi That's right; I did read that he shot himself in the heart (!!). However, IF he had shot himself in the head, "mind-blowing" would have been a poor choice of words.

"Poignant even in death"...I don't think I could have put it any better.

[SiThePi]

@jimbrown257 I'd also read a couple of articles saying (erroneously) he'd shot himself in the head, but I felt that he was trying to say something with his final act. He is sorely missed, Jim.

[jimbrown257]

@SiThePi

I remembered his obituary was in the March issue of Rolling Stone. I just checked it and it indeed said his shot himself in the heart. RS is a pretty reliable source when it comes to things like this. If they had made a mistake, I would have thought they'd have ran a correction last month. I am sure that the sources that said he shot himself in the head just assumed that's how he would have done it.

[SiThePi]

@jimbrown257 That was my assumption too upon reading those articles. Shoddy journalism maybe? As a songwriter myself, I understand how annoying it can be when a word or a line is misinterpreted or ignored. I only met Mark once, but I'm pretty sure that by choosing to shoot himself in the heart he would feel the message was loud and clear.

[jimbrown257]

@SiThePi

That's awesome you met Linkous. I was about 17 when they were at their most popular, which was never much considering how popular they should have been. It's really too bad people don't remember this music these days. I was really disappointed to see that Rolling Stone only had a small mention of it. I was almost as disappointed as the week Joe Strummer died and Justin Timberlake was on the cover.

[SiThePi]

@jimbrown257 I met him in Glasgow after a Sparklehorse gig. A nicer and more humble man you could hardly imagine. I remember him smiling when I told him I thought he was the Bob Dylan of our generation. We had a chat about songwriting and other musicians we liked. Turned out that Mark loved the Beta Band and their songwriter at the time, Gordon Anderson. He couldn't believe it when I told him that I know Gordon. Never talked about himself. I left thinking "does this man know his own genius?".

[cainerose]

A favorite song since '95...often listened to on repeat ,ad infinitum. God bless you, Mark.

[Hverfjall]

Goodbye, Mark Linkous

[shabbamanuk]

silly fucker....you'll be missed,but i wont remember you this way.

[nanatsu7]
