Mark Hollis Track 2


Come my love
Kick the line
Afield lies nothing but squalor to turn on
A song asale

Should have said so much
Makes it harder
The more you love

Gladdening eyes
Through slur
Emerge crucified

So frail

Should have said so much
Makes it harder
The more you love

A song asale
Sold heart

Should have said so much
Makes it harder
The more you love

A song asale
For the good has bled to dust
Departed
The morning sun

silver buddha, do you know when we could listen the new hollies? i'm a fan absolute.

`

[SilverBuddha]

@nicopaugam Only Mr. Hollis himself knows, I think. Consensus seems to be that he has retired from the music industry and is a full time family man. Sad to say.

[ladyfuschia]

When was this put out?

[SilverBuddha]

@ladyfuschia 1998. And he ain't been heard from since.

[lorienforest]

The picture shows a Sicilian traditional Easter bread or cake, it's the Easter Lamb.

His tender, gentle and a little strange expression is tragically moving and inspiringly creative for your imagination.

[SilverBuddha]

@lorienforest Found this Mark Hollis quote from an interview he did in 1998: "It is the lamb of God, made of bread. On Sicily at easter there is a festival for which they make these breads. I like the way something appears to come out of his head, it makes me think of a fountain of ideas. Also the manner how the eyes are positioned fascinates me. When I saw the picture for the first time I had to laugh, but there's something very tragic about it at the same time."

[RolloKohime]

Mark Hollis is unquestionably one of the finest composer/performers to come out of the UK - ever. Totally overlooked and under-rated except by a few.

Unforgettable for some. An extraordinary artist in every meaning of the word. RolloKohime

This whole album is incredibly good. Mark Hollis is superb in every respect.

@ReturnFire121 it appears that you may have some sort of brain damage. for that i'm sorry. now off you go...troll someplace else.

[ReturnFire121]

what is this shit! Awful music with nothing going on, Talk talk were overrated pile of dung, and this shoegazing, self loathing tripe is even worse!

[MaskedMarvel92]

Mark Hollis' album is one of the truest singer-songwriter albums out there!

[shanaqbaimuru]

Thanks for the upload!!!!! I have no money to buy the record. But thanks to you I get to hear it.

[StadtbauerUSA]

Incredible.  What is it you're tapping into, Mark? Thank you.

[soulgalore]

This record is unique and is today the featured LP on BBC6 Music's "Freak Zone". Fascinating, and the fact he never recorded again since adds to the intrigue.

@SilverBuddha

theres no such thing as a family man, when its like this...I dont believe that he has stopped writing...it would be a shame..

[populvuh02]

@bettergameplay lies, lies, lies. quit dismissing the unknown, or stop being lazy. whatever curse befell you, shed off your old skin and look HARDER

[66femo]
