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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Did not count how many timez that tied-up Bob screamed 'STOP!!!!!' yester(jester)-day.fokking hell. Can i have a number? Just remember,no above 1-digit numberz.my neuro-transmiterz and synapses can not(repeat: 'NOt:) process it.

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

Kinda song that turns any day into Saturday
His music makes me cry. My go to when I'm down in the dumps.
Its the best for that. Better than NIN, I might jump off a bridge

But he left it always to be found

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

Same here, I still remember it and the impact the song had on me
I was 12 or 13 when this song was on the radio. Never realized how sad it was.
Found this song yesterday. I can’t really describe how it makes me feel but it’s powerful
First time I heard it was 27 years ago. Still love it!! Happy you discovered this great band. Sadly he passed away🙁
From the movie Laurel Canyon
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
should have been a hit - and I mean a smash hit.
Yea it really should’ve been. Maybe a better music video would’ve helped tho
Always loved this tune and all his stuff
Miss him.
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.
Wow cool
Awesome, random and brilliant. Love it.
What a fucking song !!!!
Awesome video too!
for the image of the dog flying alone, zanies...deeply missed
the intro creeps me out in a good way
Algún día me voy a tratar bien
*raw time* do u have any sparkle horse *umm I dont know... about.. that*
Is that his wife, Teresa, in the vid with him?
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.
@@MikeJones-hz3lbthats my mom
@@puvzo8158 Seriously?
@@MikeJones-hz3lb yeah she isnt a musician lol she just did a little bit of acting in her 20s
this album changed things...mark linkous wrote this sh7t for fun.rip sir
Anybody know if that intro bit is its own song?
I wonder as well
it sounds like one of the vocal takes from the chorus of this song
Robert, I hope you’re still coming up with those brilliant and ambitious schemes.
Did not count how many timez that tied-up Bob screamed 'STOP!!!!!' yester(jester)-day.fokking hell. Can i have a number? Just remember,no above 1-digit numberz.my neuro-transmiterz and synapses can not(repeat: 'NOt:) process it.
