Sparklehorse - "Sick of Goodbyes"

[voddynblack]

woke up in a bad mood basement...know what ye mean...

[voddynblack]

beautiful song...rip mark xxx

[AirWaterLandBuffalo]

I've listened to Good Morning Spider so much that I wondered where "Box of Stars" was after it'd finished.

My bones wish to... Escape...

[yukigirlydoll]

I recently got into Sparklehorse. One of my favorite musicians, Koji Iwata (Hermit) talked about how much Sparklehorse inspired him. I've really fallen in love with this band now, it has opened up my heart. Both Hermit and Sparklehorse have some of the most enchanting music I've ever heard. What's sad is Hermit is always sick and in and out of the hospital. He said Sparklehorse's music kept him going and that as long as Mark Linkous was ok, he could get through anything. That made me cry. RIP

If you watch the documentary on his life, he has an old abandoned house near his home that he used to go to, so he could read his magazines and this video-clip was filmed inside that very place.

[MrChuckustruckus]

Tssssss buenisima.........

[mirabilo]

I went through a long period when I'd put this album on my headphones (tape) and listen to it and drift off to sleep.

[littlgrlblu]

i'm so suprised not more people have heard of him, he was truly a talented individual.

[xlrious1]

@littlgrlblu he's exclusive...he was indie and he rocked...i got to meet him on several ocasion because i live where he used to live and where all his family lives....(richmond va) great man...he's really popular around here.

[DoYouDigItNow]

Wish you were here.

[MrNickMMM]

I'm so sick of saying you goodbye, Mark...

[blindriv3r]

watch?v=dsmWcxRShu4&feature=re­lated

the Neil Young song that this was pretty clearly inspired by

[jav1231]

This is a re-worked, re-make of Cracker's Sick of Goodbyes.

[t1nners2]

@jav1231 Co-written by linkous and cracker

[Hildegunst6]

Dazzling song, I'm trying to figure out how the guitar sounds so full and warm (haven't succeeded). He was truly a genius..

[SparklyCheeseburger]

lol nate mendel brought me here....

[apicalmaristem]

I'm so sick of everyone saying their goodbyes to Mark Linkous.

[Bradius123]

Lovely lovely golden warm sound

[Pete803]

I have the guitar that was made for this video, I love it.

[TheEtfc]

Oh the irony-you never got to say goodbye! Mark you never had a stupid mind-your thaughts travelled the planet! Let's all get together sometime and 'see you like I do'! RIP great one.........sleep tight and goodbye mate

[radskate88]

wish mark knew how he helped me and still does help me

[Enemiesarelovers]

this video is just..wow. And the song is beautiful.

[bellstretcher]

goodbye

[blackshadow066]

I'm so sick of goodbyes either. Rest in peace, Mark...

[AirWaterLandBuffalo]

The lyrics sound like poetry.

"Sucking up my dreams through the floor..."

[TThirdplaneTT]

1 person likes Nickelback

[sharki766]

1 person has no heart.

[333ThirdPlaneT]

The pain of these tortured geniuses is almost more than I can take. Please...Jack White, Jeff Tweedy, Dan Auerbach etc...keep your sh*t together. RIP Mark. I first heard your music on the Laurel Canyon soundtrack and loved you ever since.

[heyjude97]

oh, i am making so many gifs of this.

[blindriv3r]

good reworking of Neil Young's Barstool Blues, both Linkous and Cracker did slightly differing versions

[nicholaswheeler]

for ever 47

[The23Underground]

I'm so sick of saying goodbye to wonderful artists...

[audandash96]

reminds me so much of the beatles, sucks he commited suicide. there's not a lot of bands like this anymore.

[radeeo01]

what the fuck is going on in this fuckin country when the only time we here great bands like this is in the fuckin news after some tragic event that has happend to them. MTV YOU began the slow death of music such as this you have killed the soul of music like this you fuckin vampires, but i do feel the noose beginning to tighten and i hope MTV for you it is a slow miserable ride into oblivion.

[cjcoco541]

I actually got into sparklehorse because I heard about his death on the radio and they played this song in his honor. Its a damn shame.

[Theharrytuttle99]

@cjcoco541 Same here....on CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corp.) here in Canada...except they played "Little Fat Baby"....couldn't believe what I was hearing, and was saddened that such a gifted songwriter gave up on life...Vic Chestnutt too...but glad I know about them now...and trying to get others to appreciate their music.

[Theharrytuttle99]

@cjcoco541 btw, my absolute favourite and one of the best songs I've ever heard is "hundreds of sparrows" in case you haven't checked that one out yet :)

[samjhow3]

the seconds click in which im changed to dust...

[hearthemoon]

Goodbye genius...

[NightRanger77]

It was on the news this mroing...

[KeezyTheKidd]

Amazing, I miss you so. <3

[tlm315]

what the fuck mark ......you never said goodbye you must have really been sick of it but i would have been cool with ill see ya later....i will miss you anyway you were a true talent

[Sharpster7]

I'm a "stay at home" musician and in his passing I am realizing what a tremendous influence he has been on my own music over the last decade and how we tend to throw names around for simile such as 'alice in chains' and 'smashing pumpkins', but in reality I suspect our home recordings would probably sound much closer to the craft he perfected in studios to a pair of fresh ears.

[alanis2007]

awe..great talent

[MrWafflesMonster]

You know how everyone is saying that Mark's music will live on, well I just looked in the paper read an article about his life, then I thought I would check out some of his works and I have been extrememely impressed

[Purolatorcj]

Thats exactly what happened to me, can't believe I missed out on all this when he was still around...

[vndlsboy]

The Dude does not abide to this Mark, this aggression will not stand......man!

[egerillskansjalf]

I realised, last night, that I'll never get to hear Mark's voice live. Or on another record. It was saddening. He'll live on through his music. What a fucking genuine, true inspiration.

I want my records back, and that motorcycle gastank that I spraypainted black.

[BasementFishFilms]

@egerillskansjalf I got to see them live in Madison, WI at the High Noon Saloon. It was awesome. about a year later the band I play drums in played there too so It was really awesome that I performed on the same stage as sparklehorse. Low also played there too and so did Gene Ween. Blows my mind I was on that stage.

I will miss Mark. Hits just as hard as when my Mom died. I can't believe there won't be anymore sparklehorse.

[ktjean82]

@BasementFishFilms when your mom died? don't you think that's disrespectful as hell?

mark was a great musician, but come on man, that's your mom!

[renatokurdt]

i remember the night when i'm awake to listen your records. i miss you Mark.

please your soul rest in peace for eternity...

[greenlyleaping]

this song is beautifil but so hard to listen to right now. my heart goes out to his family. :( rip Mr.Linkous, you are sorely missed.

[thejollylama1]

Another great talent lost....Sad

[zzonbug]

goodbye, mark. i luvu ur music so so so much. 번쩍이는 말의 음악을 오랜동안 아주 많이 좋아하고 들었다는 건 내게 행운이었죠. 고마워요. 잘 쉬세요.

[copadip]

[LesterStone]

RIP Mark Linkous =(

[jmzcrt]

i prefer the Sparklehorse version better. But they co-wrote the song and are both entitled to their own versions.

[hellofloyd]

lol I like the camera shake when he fell off his chair.

[stoopidryan8]

i like the cracker and the sparklehorse both very much, and for different reasons. beautiful song, regardless, wouldn't you agree?

[MokshaMedia]

Wow.......GForceRush.....thank­s For schooling me, no idea this was a 'Cracker" original, learn somethin' evry day.....

[blindriv3r]

look up the good cover of Neil Young's Barstool Blues on youtube..and you will see the real original version...

[blindriv3r]

they both seem to be inspired by Neil Young's Barstool Blues to me..have a listen

[feskocity]

You're joking...this is the definitive version.

[marno76]

great song. thought it was his.

[rancours]

Aha, love it.

[GForceRush]

The original by Cracker is much better than this.
