It's over a year now since this beautiful man's death. Never will I forget Mark Hollis. He was an angel and a genius. Will always miss him and his music. R. I. P my love.

My all-time favourite band, I was lucky to see them live in 1984. RIP Mark.

You are very lucky i was born in 85 .ive grown up listening to some great music through my mum but talk talk are on another level

[@beefheart1410]

I was never remotely interested in Talk Talk. I'd bought, and loved "life's what you make it" when it was released but, knowing nothing about the band other than having them pegged in my head, as a "synthi pop" act, it never occurred to me me to check out "Colour Of Spring". Then, one day, I was reading "Q" magazine and stumbled across a review of "Spirit Of Eden". I can't remember the review but, whether it was positive or not, there must have been something in it that intrigued me. Accordingly, off I went to my local record shop and purchased the newly released album. And, to this day, I still believe that the music contained within the album's grooves encapsulates one of the greatest musical experiences of my life! For my taste, it's one of the greatest albums ever made and in a class of its own. Genius? Hell. Yes, I believe so. The album is utterly distinct from anything else coming from the various genres of 20th Century "popular" music. Next came "Laughing Stock": same effect (although I would slump for "Spirit Of Eden" out of the two). Mark Hollis's solo album?: Same effect. I only then back tracked to "Colour Of Spring" and, likewise, have since been hooked on that album as well. I do like the odd song prior to "Colour Of Spring" ("It's My Life", "Rene" and "Dum Dum Girl" to name but three), but, for me, the band's Royal streak began only with "Colour Of Spring" and not prior. What a development from the band's earlier work / style. A giant left us on 25th Feb. We, genuinely may not see his like again. RiP mate.

[@wreckofthehesperas8323]

Beefheart1 a wonderful tribute to this incredible and creative man with the haunting voice. Likewise, I started checking out all the stuff I never heard on the radio, and I'm chosing which album to begin my collection with ...

[@birdsong420]

Colour of Spring is my favorite as well. Every song is fantastic!

[@JonJonJonJonJonJonJonJon]

Laughing stock for me

[@thestrengthwithin4249]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 What a great insight and I totally understand what you mean, we may not see his like again, such a truly outstanding vocalist musician and lyricist, Jesus Christ nobody has ever sung like that and never will, what a voice 🌹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@thomaskaczmarek6628]

KZbin has a live in Montreaux video that you ought to check out

[@viggo64]

I still can't believe he's gone and how much listening to his voice rips me apart knowing that he's no longer here to give us more of what we can't get enough off. RIP Mark gone but most certainly never forgotten, forever and always in the hearts of those who loved the joy you brought to depths and memories of our our lives.

[@bencba2402]

Sorry, but I think he gave everything and had no more to share with his public, he leaved what was essential, had succes, could live comfortably and didn’t want to fit the show buisness attempts to be on exposure, I think what he did is perfect and there is no need to listen more than his discography (that is sufficient).The only thing we can regret is that there is not enough live especially from the two last albums of talk talk.

[@longstrandna1]

Spirit of Eden, one of the greatest Albums of all time. I would come out of my deep hybernation, of attending live music events, if Mark or Talk talk ever decided to un-retire give us just one more tour ...

[@Katzone]

This band has only made masterpieces...and I m not saying this because of the death of Mark, but my friend know about my obsession for the Talk Talk...I recommend to see the live concert recorded in Montreaux, here on You Tube

[@pvw4318]

And also Rockpop Dortmund. Veronica Rocknight... Also to see on you tube... Greetings from another great TALK TALK fan . Paul from The Netherlands

[@jonathansteadman7935]

They are like prayers for the modern age, make you happy and sad, and move you emotionally like no other, for me anyway.

[@ramindadmanesh3863]

They were poised to be on top of that whole new wave / synth pop bunch of '80s groups, but then rightfully decided to ultimately fulfill their own "desire" (pardon the pun) and follow their own muse. Bad for record cos. and teeny boppers; but WOW, what a majestic revelation for the rest of us. Kudos indeed!

[@CVJM12]

R.I.P. Mark Hollis. I still love your music and wonder about your genius. Be blessed!

[@janefisher4972]

My beautiful angel/pure genius. Will never forget you. Such a brilliant gentle soul taken too soon. So bloody unfair. Love you Mark. God bless.

[@pauljarvis1944]

My thoughts exactly....Mark was one of the finest Musician and Composer of the time and Talk Talk were simply AMAZING...Rest in peace Mark and thank you so much for the FANTASTIC music we can still enjoy ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@richsalt9466]

Ive been fortunate enough to see Simple Minds, Depeche Mode, The The, The Cure and other great bands grow over the years but, nothing compares to TALK TALK! The Business!

[@morfi3395]

Talk Talk is among the ones you mention the only band that did grow. Simple Minds went totally rubbish, The Cure went slowly descent as well. Japan is probably the only band that had a similar growth curve.

I was in the business and had a pre-release of this. This record (and this track) is representative of some of the best music the 20th Century had to offer. Mark is a genius, and I would give ANYTHING to hear new work from him. But until he comes to his senses, our memories and recordings will have to do. This one will be forever burned into my memory.

This gets better with every rewatch. Stephen Makay does indeed deserve some adulation. Undoubtedly filmed in Scotland. The topography feels so familiar. I recognise but don't know any of the scenes and the hill's and castle look so familiar but ...

Steve Mackay - a perfect melding of film and music. Your video: fascinating, thought-provoking, very Bergman-esque.

And thanks too to Sledgehammer1972 for posting.

Excellent; some really good imagery and excellent editing. I particularly liked the ending and the continued scarecrow theme.

Mr. Sledgehammer1972, you have a good eye and a sense of matching music with film. If I had known any better, I would have thought this was the actual official video for this song. As for Stephen Mackay, genius work...just sheer beauty in film making (it's not that easy to film birds in the wild). Even if they were birds raised by yourself, that is still a hard feat to illustrate with b/w film. This video was made for this song. I hope you found Mr. Mackay. It would be cool to hear what he thought of your editing to his work for this song. As for Mark Hollis, he will never grow tired in my heart. RIP, bud.
