Sparklehorse - Radio Sessions

[@Gu1d-0]

I could listen to sparklehorse every fucking day. The guy deserved so much recognition.

[@heideggerdowson]

Couldn't agree more, he was a game changer.

[@peteriannitto3750]

I've never really cared for celebrities... but the day Mark died I remember the sinking devastation. My best friend and I walked around Boston until it was around 2am, in silence just beside ourselves. Mark was a beautiful soul and his music will live on forever.

[@zetetick395]

This completely echoes my sentiments, the death of Mark Linkous is perhaps the only 'celebrity' death that's ever truly affected me powerfully at heart.... I still carry it; not morbidly, just memory of a beautiful human who shared of himself with the rest of us. Suicide is always the cruelest death, for all those who cared - But it was his right to do so.....I just hope it wasn't done in a passing moment of pain, and was something long considered and done through rational personal choice. I suppose we will never know. I think Most people have it backwards: They say "Death is a thief - that takes from us" But it's just the opposite! _Life is an INCREDIBLE gift!_ Death is merely an equalizing, a settling of the accounts, And our bodies.... to create the fertilizer, in which new life is given its own chance to grow, and come to be, on this Earth, in the full unimaginable deep of planetary time. I don't mind the idea of my dissolving body molecules ending up becoming part of a tree, or moss on a mountain rock, or a fish-scale on the sleek flank of a salmon etc etc .....When my time comes, I don't mind the idea of returning home to the great mother, who gave birth to us and all this riotous, beautiful Nature - and becoming fully of it, once more....

[@berisf]

that happened to me too... I had just seen the pixies for the first time... was walking around town with a close friend when I heard. I'm the same re. celebrities as such. I appreciate great artists but I love humans who are kindred spirits. Rare, special and unique. Mark Linkus- hes the reason I gave up all my occupations to focus solely on music. Was lucky to see him play. My daughter loves him too though she is like me- can only listen to him alone- something to do with how much he makes us feel :(

[@patsyneddy]

i felt the same way, he gave us such beautiful music, it was so sad to hear about his sadness...

[@DustyTaint]

Imagine my devastation, my parents invited me to come watch him about a year before he died. I didn't go because i wasn't into them at the time. Started listening more after the gig, thought oh I'll definitely go next time. Devastated. Still, one of my biggest regrets.

[@suburbansymbolism]

Mark felt like a friend you knew since childhood.

[@nogaharel9604]

Happy birthday to sparklehorse, The most beautiful and sparkling horse of all... He should have been 57 today... Rest In Peace dear Mark. You will forever be my favorite artist, and a spiritual soulmate

[@gerardgarcia1956]

When Mark died a library filled with emotion burned down too.

[@perlowkey]

i come back to his music every now and then, and then i stop listening to music whatsoever, then listen to him and daniel johnston again it just puts me in a depressing peace, i cant describe it...

[@seaperu1]

I call it compounding sadness, that way, the only place to go after these emotions is UP take care

[@VietYork]

I've been listening to Sparklehorse for 10 years now. Truly a gem

[@vince4OC]

Wow what a truly beautiful performance. Mark’s music was, and still is a part of my life. His death was a devastating loss for us all. If you are like me, a true admirer of Mark’s talents, referring to yourself as a “fan” just seems too generic. For the people who love Mark’s music.. we get it. We got him. We have all made connections to Mark, each in our own unique way, as his music plays like a soundtrack to our lives.

This has slowly become one of my favorite Sparklehorse recordings. How Mark managed to translate these feelings, or states, into music and words, I will never really understand. This, to me, is music from mental regions never made audible before. It is beautiful and miraculous, far, far away from being depressing. Thank you illskamsarchive, thank you Mark Linkous.

[@cardakeys]

Thank you, Mark. You may not be here with us anymore, but you will live forever through your beautiful, timeless songs.

[@raymondperrelli7101]

I met Mark back in 2002 after the gig, beautiful humble man. Loved by everyone .

[@kermitem11]

I think I replayed this video a thousand times after my first break up. I was numb but it helped remind me to keep going. Sparklehorse is a true treasure

[@marnero5841]

2023 Bird Machine thank you so much Mark Love you ❤

[@Pantouflard]

Devastating loss of a sensitive soul. thanks for the music, Mark, you're in our hearts forever.

[@rokukou]

It's so strange hearing his words and his breath as alive as ever, hard to comprehend he's gone.

[@kzcdx897]

Sparklehouse is forever

[@BlueprintsForHeadaches]

The sounds of empty loneliness, on a dark cold night when everything seems dismal,bleak and your spirit is broken. The shell of what used to be stares you in the eyes as you fall fate, ego and a eternity of misguided notions, so sentimental ,unspoken we trothed along yet no truths come hold -Blueprints For Headaches 4/24/2020

[@AndreasWinkler83]

I always come back to this recording. Saw Nina Persson perform his music at a tributary concert in Malmö some years back. It was as close as I will get to him. Rest in peace Mark.

[@patrickhodgen9933]

Sunshine is my favourite Sparklehorse song and it sounds beautifully fragile on this. Spirit Ditch is unbelievable though. "I want my .... records back"

[@kellmano1]

This is such a good recording. I listened to it tons a few years ago and great to revisit "I woke up in A burnt out basement Sleeping with Metal hands In a spirit ditch" Yes. I know *exactly* what you mean

[@Gauss777]

Spaklehorse makes me feel empty, but at the same time, alive. RIP Mark Linkous.

[@ringaroundrosie2765]

I don't know who Mark was, I'm a new fan, but I can feel the pain in these comments, and more importantly this music. What a soul.

[@Dave-zo4gj]

Saturday...my very favorite sparklehorse track...just magical...what a loss to us? Saw Mark in Bristol a couple of years before he left us..RIP m8..say hello to my dad and tell him I love him

[@giordanogirolamo5283]

[@matthewlegermusic]

this version of junebug is so fucking pretty. and i think more yellow birds has always ben my favorite sparklehorse song, ending this with it is beautiful. really captures the spirit of mark's work. rip, king

[@nogaharel9604]

Sparklehorse’s hauntingly beautiful music has been a spiritual compass for me in this sad and beautiful world for many many years now... when I made a list of Songs to be played in my future funeral, I put” Eyepennies” in the list. I want people to listen then to the music which touched my heart while I lived.

[@lukaskilpua5132]

Interested in your list. Care to share it? :)

I'm just glad I continue to stumble across recorded gems like this because there will never be another new Sparklehorse album and that pains me greatly.

Magnificent and beautiful Mark made music of such delicacy, honesty and heart rending sadness - wonderful in simpler terms Truly exceptional artist and this is a brilliant session RIP Mr Linkous

[@shatzposter]

mark, mark.. only you can make me cry.. struggle not to cover with my hands my aching heart.. to hold the pain.. when i hear your music i want to throw my hands up to the sky with a sour feeling of despair unleashed speading. life is tough, mark. wish you are calm now

[@polobede9054]

R.I.P. , Magnifique compositeur ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

[@nikolss]

me gustaba hundirme en la tristeza de esta música por allá en el 2006, realmente no tenía muchos problemas a esa edad (16 años), pero siempre estuve atraído a la melancolía que provocan las melodías tristes, creo que en este tipo de sentimientos hay más belleza... bueno ahora con 31 años, la vida me a tratado de muchos modos y es tranquilizante volver aquí una vez más.

[@IsmaelAngelus]

Thanks for sharing. RIP MARK.

[@jcsuperstar60]

stretching my heartstrings. miss you big time.

[@milladomingues]

This is so beautiful! It's a soul that just turned into some songs. It's magical and dead and alive at the same time. It's poetry that moves to the sound of these amazing melodies. Thank you.

[@solo_incrept_to_infect]

More yellow birds is so insanely beautiful here wow incredible. Edit: You know, I just realized that the strings on More Yellow Birds sound like tornado or air strike sirens. That makes it sound so apocalyptic; it's the end of the world.

[@mushroomgiiirl]

I never found sparklehorse until I was around 13, 2015ish. But his music is something that has stuck with me a dive only just appreciated it more as I've matured

[@abrahamismox8435]

I first found Sparklehorse about 6 years ago. Listened to his music when I was in very bad shape, this album helped me give form to some of my feelings. It made me feel like someone else understood how I felt. Everytime I feel like those crippling thoughts come back, I play this on repeat in hopes that once again it will help me through them.

[@Chiefakos79]

I am a big Sparklehorse fan. This is an amazing recording. Amazing.

[@roxiymariana]

What's the name of the first song? :(

[@Chiefakos79]

Roxana Sánchez It's 'Eyepennies' from Sparklohorse's 3rd album 'It's a wonderful life'. So fragile and prophetic.

Just found your channel!! Subscription added. See y'all soon. I was always a huge Colin Wilson fan, fiction too but mainly his books such as 'Mysteries' . One of the the most vivid experiences I have ever had was finishing that book and then simply going outside for a walk. The wind whipped up immediately, it was such an intense experience of the experience. All the things about Gurdjieff etc. Reading that book was an initiation of sorts. Anyway 😜. Listening to your Sparkle horse 'Radio Sessions' right now. Blessed Be 🙏 xx Peace Love Light
