Sparklehorse - Sad & Beautiful world

[@lucamidorikawa8629]

Im listening to this at 2 am at night because I can't understand this world anymore but this song comforts me in this entire chaos. Love you Mark

[@bamfhannah]

This song sums up my depression and anxiety. It simultaneously makes me sad a comforts me all at the same time. People can try to help, but this is the only thing that makes me feel okay. I jsut wish he could see his music is pulling me up from the mud. RIP.

[@theladieschains2]

I know its been a long time but i hope you're okay 👍

It's quite sad that Mark's songs only have a few thousand views and few comments from years ago we should honor him by telling people about him. To go like all his good songs, buy his cd's, view his songs, and of course leave comments on each of them so it won't look so empty

[@slipknot80210]

Buying his music isn't going to do much for him now that he's dead.

[@undocumentedspot]

Naganahara Mio Funerals and memorials don't do much to the dead either. but they do to the living and serve as celebrations of their legacy.

[@slipknot80210]

undocumentedspot I'm not saying not to listen to his music. I'm saying don't pay EMI, the company that withheld his record for a childish dispute and drove him into the depression that lead to his death.

[@undocumentedspot]

Naganahara Mio ah I see. sorry I didn't know about that. I actually learned about the song from The King movie. one interesting but messed up movie, but the song was great.

[@slipknot80210]

undocumentedspot Very great.

[@ryananthony385]

I recall seeing Sparklehorse play in 2006 in London. I recall the feeling as the lights dimmed and the band started a simply wonderful intro with brushed drums and strings... out came Mark and sat at his piano. He quietly addressed the crown with a simple 'Good Evening' and began playing. During that set he played many of his wonderful songs, none quite had the impact that Sad and Beautiful World had though. The audience silent and still as this man poured out his heart in verse... wonderful...

[@CaterpillarsTV]

It's sad that he's gone but beautiful what he left behind.

[@planktonscollective7129]

still miss Mark every now and then😢

[@TheJohnsonmobile]

Linkous is incredible. Anyone could dismiss this music as depressing and stop listening, but that'd be such a waste - it's really calming, beautiful music which he put a lot of heart into. RIP Mark. Thanks for leaving lots of great music to remember you by.

[@DansenEnSchijten]

I love the snow and barns and fields. The innocence and simplicity presented in this clip are soothing. Just like Mark's music.

[@tunesoforange]

Thx. I put some work and thought in it. Mark was a genius. Left this world too early.

[@DansenEnSchijten]

@@tunesoforange I can see that you put work and thought into this clip. It fits the music very well. And I agree with you; Mark was a genius. His music will always be special to me and so many others. Thanks for sharing this clip.

[@andrewwhiting4116]

My brother used to make me mad sometimes. I miss him dearly. It’s a sad and beautiful world.

[@egglab]

it's a sad and beautiful world indeed. RIP Mark, your music helped me through the darkest days of my life.

[@MadsAndersen1]

This video really is just right for "Sad & Beautiful World" and it's just right for that Sparklehorse feel. If a DVD of Sparklehorse videos is ever put out, I hope they include this on it. Just beautiful.

[@MadsAndersen1]

It's funny how people always latch onto how "dark" and "sad" Mark's music is, but I've never seen it that way. His songs are sad AND beautiful, often able to contain both or somehow float around in the gray areas between. Like this one, "Sad and Beautiful World", it's just precisely that. Ultimately, it gives me kind of an uplifting feeling. Same goes for the rest of his work. There's beauty in there to be found, equal or more to the sadness, just don't think about his suicide or the reasons why

[@underthecoldsun]

Goodbye you sweet odd fool. Even though your light was force out by your own hands, you will never be forgotten. R.I.P Mark Linkous

[@RebaRice]

You still rock my world Mark :) You've helped me through so much in my life and I only wish I could have done the same for you. Your music is an amazing priceless gift that no other artist could even come close to matching. Thank you for saving my life on multiple levels. You were and will ALWAYS be an incredible human being. Rest in peace buddy. Sleep tight forever in that apple bed.

[@number4230]

It's a sad and beautiful song.

[@JAPRYDER]

RIP. So sad. Gotta say, this is a brilliant video. Thanks

[@HelenaSurrender]

Sometimes I get so sad Sometimes you just make me mad It's a sad and beautiful world It's a sad and beautiful world Sometimes I just won't go Sometimes I can't say 'no' It's a sad and beautiful world It's a sad and beautiful world Sometimes days go speeding past Sometimes this one seems like the last It's a sad and beautiful world It's a sad and beautiful world

[@TheOrIsItSomethingWo]

thank you life is strange for showing me this band

[@loach-]

Well, technically it isn't a band.

[@Rocker19871]

+TheOrIsItSomethingWo Haha yes... google show me random a acoustic guitar song. I was searching afterwords after "Happy as a dead pig in the sunshine" and founding "Happy pig" from this artist.

[@KaxxxE]

+TheOrIsItSomethingWo wuuuuuuut I didnt know it was in Life Is Strange

[@generalpeeps]

+KaxxxE yeah the song Chloe dances to is piano fire, awesome song.

[@ripelivejam]

+TheOrIsItSomethingWo you don't have to, but if so inclined please do yourself a favor and listen to more of mark's music. he deserves a bit more recognition. :)

[@WhelpHaiBai]

I watched a documentary on his life as a local musician in Virginia and it was amazing. I've never seen or even spoken to such a real person before. Even though I never met him in person his music speaks to me like a thousand conversations. Thank you for the inspiration, Mark.

[@flyhighgofurther]

Oh my God, same here! How could we not adore him who has this fantastic taste in music and everything else! This song in particular oddly suits him, his intense and yet puppy sad eyes. And I also feel oddly lucky and special I got introduced the beautiful songs of Sparklehorse by TOP, the man. :-) AND very happy to share with you, Cecilia! I mean who bothers to go this extra mile when it was just background songs HE used to playing at night. But you did go far and I did, too. :-)

[@profuselyx]

Great song. Great vid. Reminds me of the times you find yourself travelling roads youve never been on and you just have to wonder what the lives are like of the people who live in the breeze by towns. Take care.

[@dignan4]

Agreed. Many self-made videos don't work, but this one moves me. Thank you.

[@Summer309]

I loved this song for so long.Beautiful

[@robertscottpotterjr1]

Great tune! My favorite Sparklehorse song.

[@forkman22222]

i like how you think dude, youre so right, life is bittersweet. you sometimes wish the days to go by, but then you feel nostalgia for the past.

[@vidoreti]

Hey Tunes, thank you to post this video. The best video that i watched this night. I've never heard Sparklehorse. It's awesome.

[@jorgek92]

3:15 that detuned part in the end of the song makes me feel something that I cannot explain.

[@garrettwilson9664]

+J. Antón It's not detuned. Just playing a chord that's out of key to cause tension.

[@zetetick395]

One of my favourite artists, thanks for this music Mark :)

[@altstadtkid]

my heart is numb, my eyes feel hollow, yet when I hear your voice I feel hope

[@ChrisDomato]

SKINS thanks for making me find this beautiful song!!!

[@TheEtfc]

It's over a year now Mark since you left this sad and beautiful world and it is a lesser place without you. True genious is rarely recognised however as the many posts on youtube will go to show you were a genious and greatly rcognised. I wish we had met, there is so much I wanted to tell you but-''I'll probably keep it till Saturday' RIP Great One

[@kigorg]

it's been three days now and i still feel sadness overwhelming me. kinda lost some best friend :((((( hope you found your peace Mark! we'll keep on with your music.

[@gerardgarcia1956]

Yes! Nice. Thanks Mark. It is a sad and beautiful world.

[@sesseelyah]

thank you! :Di agree with everything you just said, it totally suits him, the fact that he is a rapper and enjoy that genre and can still fit this mellow relax oddly soothing song in his life is pretty cool. i'm glad he mentioned it, and i'm glad we took this extra step and listen to this :) it was totally worth it, i now listen to sparklehorse when i need a break from all the loud noises of the world.

[@MERDREFULL]

Wow ! Thanks for sharing your beautiful work. galaxigirl is absolutely right, and it soothes the pain somehow. ..still devastated though.

Swedish fictional detective Wallander's "Sidetracked" featured Sparklehorse's It's a Wonderful Life last Saturday on UK TV's BBC Four. The wintry Danish scenery in this wonderfully atmospheric version of Sad and Beautiful World could have come straight out of other Wallander episodes, filmed in the rural Skane region of southern Sweden.

[@seamusmcfadden]

Oh my god! Took me forever to find the window to comment in! Great Video! Linkus to the end! Like on a spanish pirate ship loaded with horses made of silver. His heart comes throught in dripping shades of melting tourtured silica sand and all the fire flames so high only to bring a great diamond closer. Down to the earth...to the earth where he will melt into the sand and someday be loved so dearly, by the ones that discovered him. The ones that loved him TRUE!

[@shackbhoy]

My friend you have made a very beautiful video . I've only got one CD (his first, with this on it) but i'm going to have to catch up now , i always liked it,can't explain why i missed his later stuff. Farewell you sad old soul.......

[@Calibound0422]

It's ones beliefs that suicide is selfish and at some points it is, however those whov have taken their life can get past the grief no matter how hard they try. Sometimes it is so deeply engraved into our soul and it becomes all that is known. Sometimes peace for one is sadness for others. Regardless if one believes it selfish or not, he is gone and we have the music to help us. So honor the simple fact of the music. Not sit an question what's been done an for why.

Yeah man, it's a straight lift by Mark, "Sad & Beautiful World" is directly taken from "Pale Blue eyes" on The Velvet Undergrounds White Light, White Heat album, as you say - The whole of the Submarine Transmission album is rife with the ghosts of odd references and deliberately pilfered sounds, to create a distinct artistic affect.....It's pretty spooky

[@ChristopherNihil]

R.I.P. Mark. We miss you.

[@Venuslenscap]

Please dont use the genius of Mark Lincous for you political views. Its a sad and beautiful world because its coming from the mind of a manic depressive. Mark wrote music to keep from going insane. When he and his wife split, it was to much for him to take and he ended his own live, the one task he spent his life trying not to do.

[@gishgishdream]

It IS a sad and beautiful world.
