Sparklehorse - Someday I'll Treat You Good (Official Video)

[@kefka40]

Damn, I remember being 16 and getting this CD from Columbia House without hearing any of the songs first. I definitely liked the album as a whole, but I especially remember listening to this song, Tears on Fresh Fruit, and Spirit Ditch (I gravitated more surreal, lo'fi, and distortion/fuzz filled songs back then) on repeat constantly. I honestly thought back then that he had a bright future ahead of him and that he was going to make an impact somehow (little did I realize it would be left posthumously). I remember hearing about Linkous' suicide and it hit me pretty hard, not only as a tragedy as such any suicide is, but as someone who dealt with (and still deals with) depression and anxiety issues, it's always a bit haunting when someone that fights such inner battles ends up succombing to the demons.

thanks for sharing that. sincerely

Hey man, sending my love to you. I hope you're better ❤️

[@davidsheehan8552]

His music makes me cry. My go to when I'm down in the dumps.

[@inthekingdom1996]

Its the best for that. Better than NIN, I might jump off a bridge

[@ladiesmannumerouno]

Kinda song that turns any day into Saturday

[@PurityVendetta]

I cannot believe this brilliant track only has 935 likes after 10 years. I miss Mark incredibly like so many of us do. I used to talk to his mum via email.

[@iankinzel]

937 now

[@bobpritchard9858]

Man, do I ever miss Mark. Nobody like him.

[@kingbadger318]

Mark was doing his own thing... Sparklehorse had a sound all their own and it was very special. I wish he was still with us. Music isn't as sweet without him.

[@aisle_of_view]

I never cry, but I did when the news came out about his early demise. Such a talent. Met him for 10 seconds at a book signing with Lynch

[@girlypoppins]

Found this song yesterday. I can’t really describe how it makes me feel but it’s powerful

[@RC75]

First time I heard it was 27 years ago. Still love it!! Happy you discovered this great band. Sadly he passed away🙁

[@mareeauld5778]

From the movie Laurel Canyon

[@mattfrank1796]

Always loved this tune and all his stuff

[@jeffcobb2734]

MTV "120 Minutes" hosted by Matt Pinfield is where I first heard this wonderful song.

[@edhelvey6119]

'120 Minutes' was about the only two hours of the week worth tuning in to MTV - except when they aired reruns of 'The Monkees' in 1986.

[@oldirtydawson]

Same. Sparklehorse had a lot of hype when this was released. I used to record 120 minutes every weekend on my VCR, and I watched this video over and over. It was unique even for 1996, which was a time of unique alternative music. I was only 16, but I thought Sparklehorse was going to be much bigger. I still listen to this semi-regularly. Mark's music was ahead of his time.

[@lesliemurphy5462]

Same here, I still remember it and the impact the song had on me

[@ruigen8046]

should have been a hit - and I mean a smash hit.

[@undergroundkingz7969]

Yea it really should’ve been. Maybe a better music video would’ve helped tho

[@JohnBrown-pq9tj]

I was 12 or 13 when this song was on the radio. Never realized how sad it was.

[@rikw2610]

Awesome, random and brilliant. Love it.

[@andreboshoff2575]

Miss him.

[@sammencia7945]

He would come into my club and request songs. Sometimes his own. He was just a regular. We had lots of people like that come through in early 1986.

[@michaellampe3080]

Wow cool

[@vinyldiary6664]

What a fucking song !!!!

[@rolfrykken]

Is that his wife, Teresa, in the vid with him?

[@MikeJones-hz3lb]

No. That is not Teresa. I forget her name. Mark told me about a female musician he was working with at the time. I'm guessing that she was the person he was referring to.

Anybody know if that intro bit is its own song?

[@SteakfulDead]

I wonder as well

[@poppysilver]

it sounds like one of the vocal takes from the chorus of this song
