Lyrics
Well I kicked and I screamed from zero to four
And I still don’t know what for, maybe gored from matadorin
Or dreaming on the rails of angels dead drunk in the snow
And a train that never blowed, took my legs and I bled out slow
Evening, Evening Star Supercharger
Even, though she’s dying getting larger
Peace without pill, gun or needle or prayer appear
Never found sometimes near but too fleet to be clear
Never roam never flown raked the tracks of my fears
And the grinding metal gears from a carnival of tears
Evening, Evening Star Supercharger
Even, though she’s dying getting larger
To the sea to the roan to the cloud yet unflown
To the tone to the stone to the seed yet ungrown
A flag unblown
Evening, Evening Star Supercharger
Even, though she’s dying getting larger
Evening, Evening Star Supercharger
Even, though she’s dying getting larger
To be in babies mothers and fathers

feels like hearing from a long lost friend after so many years
that's exactly what it is. mark lives on through his music, and he touched all of us who were lucky enough to hear it.
What a lovely response.
HOW CAN HE BE A LONG LOST FRIEND WHEN YOU WHERE NOT EVEN BORN
I never thought the unfinished album would see the light of day; I even assumed "It'll Never Stop" was a one-off. This is such amazing news, and if these two songs are any indication, the album's going to be another classic.
Agreed. Given up hope on this one many, many years ago.
Very little music makes me cry thesedays but hey, this is just so, so wonderful, sad, thrilling, otherworldly. It is overwhelmingly emotional to hear Mark again after all these years. As others have commented, like hearing from a long, lost friend. A mix of surprise, relief... but most of all just a warm feeling of coming home. I want to thank everyone involved (especially Matt) for clearly taking so much time and effort to get this right. Mark's music is incredibly precious and important to so many of us. It goes without saying that it's bittersweet to hear quite how good this last record is, so to all involved, THANK YOU. You did Mark proud. This is spine-tinglingly wonderful and I've tears streaming down my face ❤
Could not possibly have said it better. Thank you.
They even caught all the nuanced feedback that he worked so hard on, with everything he whipped out. Thank you! Thank you! Thought this would just be another posthumously dug up crap that the artist would have cringed at, but no, this IS Mark, and it is wonderful medicine. Happy place again.
It’s beautiful but so sad, especially knowing how he died. I have to be careful not to listen to too much Elliott Smith or Sparklehorse because it makes me emotional and depressed.
You’re always with us Mark ❤
This is amazing. I haven't been able to listen to Mark's music for years because it was too painful. Every single song of his is an unfiltered glimpse at what a pure soul sounds like. The fragility of his music brought me back from the brink many times when I was at my most fragile, in and out of inpatient with nobody to welcome me back home. I love you, Mark - you are worth hundreds of sparrows
Mark’s music and his fans will always be here to welcome you home. You matter to us all. I wish you all the best.
Same. His music and spirit has held a huge space in my mind for years but it's been really hard to listen to it since his passing. I'm just now finding out about this, a week before it's release, and it's shredding me to pieces. I'm excited, yet scared. I never thought I'd hear anything else from him. I'm shedding tears like a baby, yet feel warm and cozy. Such a pull on every emotion I've ever felt. Sad and beautiful. Jeeeeeezus, only Mark could grab that tightly and squeeze every drop of my heart to splatter on the floor. Really miss him, but I'm so happy to see so many fans that feel the same out there. His spirit will never die. And I hope each and every one of you out there a wonderful life.
cannot believe that any sparklehorse materials is being released now
i have so many attachments to his songs & lyrics that i actually cried when i saw that this was released & the album was coming
This is making me feel woozy. I did not expect to hear new music from what could be my favourite ever band today.
I’ve been waiting for his song for long. Beautiful melody.
Wow...This is so beatiful that it brings tears to my eyes. You are so missed, Mark
What a beautiful gift. You keep me going Mark ❤
Wonderful....brings tears to my eyes.
Mark talking from the stars :))
Sparklehorse came to me at an extremely difficult and dark time in my life. His music cut me right down to the bone, making me feel very small, but not alone, at the same time.
As others have essentially said, hearing a completed version of this song is like hearing from the dearest of friends after they disappeared without a trace and you haven't had any idea what happened to them for over a decade.
Then suddenly they're beside you, whispering sadly and quietly of their departure. And it's as though they never left. And you want them to stay forever but know they can't. Except in your memory.
His vocals and lyrics are as frail and ghostly and haunting as ever. His ability to write poetically and unpretentiously and wholeheartedly is remarkable.
Difficult to describe what it's like to be a Sparklehorse fan without him in this world anymore. I don't know many folks who like him who've not been consumed by inherent sadness most if not all of their lives.
I thought I'd managed to stop hurting for all his family and devotees losing him, but I merely buried it in a shallow grave where it's been lurking.
Strange but wonderful man.
May his shade be sweet.
Yeah he is like Elliott Smith. Messed up people listen to him but they’re both legit geniuses. I have to be careful not to listen much as it triggers depression.
ah, this breaks my heart. both a comfort and a great deal of pain to hear his voice ❤️
My sentiments exactly. Found Mark twenty plus years ago; music too beautiful for words. I pray he has found the peace that eluded him in life.
still. can’t. believe. it.
been relistening to the whole sparkle discography not so long ago, after my daughter was born (to soothe her also) and now suddenly this.
Mark, so terribly missed.
I've preordered it all. I'll cry so hard when my package comes. I never thought this day would come. I'm so happy.
Feels like coming home after a long absence. If only things were different this world would be a better place.
Am I dreaming? I must be dreaming.
Oh wow chills.. How beautifully perfect is this song! it's every piece the heart and soul of Sparklehorse. Perfection. Thank you to the family and everyone involved for making this happen.
I’m taken back to yesteryear… I miss Mark so much.
Beautiful from the master beyond the grave.
What a wonderful song 🪐
This is perfection.
I can't even believe it
No puedo creer que a día de hoy me sigas sorprendiendo de esta manera, eres el artista que más me ha inspirado. Solo puedo darte las gracias por tanto y aunque pasen los años voy a seguir escuchandote y recomendandote. Hasta a mis hijos van a crecer con tu música. Espero que descanses en Paz y quiero que sepas que tu legado y tu música nunca se van apagar porque mientras respire siempre vas a tener a alguien disfrutando de tu música y tu arte. Gracias por tanto Mark ❤
Quelle nouvelle et quel bonheur!
Parfois advient l'inespéré.
Mark est là: passé, présent, avenir lui appartiennent.
I’m crying happy tears. ❤️ Never forgotten, Mark.
Bless.
Brought tears to my eyes🥲
Me too
Still missing and remembering him.
Thanks to everyone who made this Lp possible.
I didn't know Sparklehorse AT all, heard this on the radio the other day and was captivated, just amazing.
Have fun exploring all the beautiful music Mark left us with.
I first heard Sparklehorse one week ago on the Invisible City radio program. Where has this music been all my life? I have been blown away by the beauty of it. 🥲💔
Genuinely jealous of anyone just getting into Sparklehorse. Imagine how we all felt in ‘95 hearing Hammering The Cramps for the first time.
Heartbreaking but Gorgeous
I am still dreamt of lightyears in the belly of a mountain
The First Noel has never hit so hard.
Beautiful, beautiful song. I shed a tear. Mark lives on
BEAUTIFUL ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL
This saved me at least. Thank you!
I'm crying, my god!!!
1rst time “oh my god! Oh my god!!!!!”
100th time, actually reading the lyrics “😭😭😭😭”
Mark, Elliott, Vic, Jason, David, you are sorely missed ❤
What a lovely track. Mark, we miss you a decade later.
No se imaginan cuanta alegria me da que larguen nuevos temas de mark. Escucho sparklehorse todos los dias desde hace mas de 10 años ❤
Mark te extraño como si te conociera, gracias por acompañarme desde el colegio hasta la universidad.
no esperaba en el resto de mi vida, volver a escuchar algo nuevo de Sparklehorse, siento legítima alegría en este momento ♥
Es como si Mark estuviera con nosotros de nuevo... Te extraño mucho Mark
I heard this, heard Sparklehorse for the first time ever, on The Colorado Sound (public radio primarily free-form music 24/7) and now I'm wondering what else I missed before it went on-air. I feel a sense of melancholy as I explore his music that's been uploaded here, that I missed enjoying Mark's music when he was alive, when I might have had a chance to see him performing. There's just so much that you simply don't hear on the limited, heavy-rotation iHeart playlists that have taken over the airwaves in major metro areas, which only adds to the sense of loss. Something about this song's melody and words that so perfectly matches the name "Sparklehorse, " I just had to learn more and listen more.
Can't wait and I miss you Mark
Best album from last year.
I miss this man dearly but this album is so beautiful, it feels like a wound has finally healed. This song in particular brings a certain bittersweet joy. Undeniably beautiful. Rest in peace Mark.
✨
Love Mark and love this new song ❤ thank you
I'm sooo happiii ✨️
Oh my god
😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is my favorite song from the new album and one of my favorite songs by Sparklehorse, period. Glad we get a new album it’s just to sad to see that people with extreme depression like I have aren’t able to recover. Elliott, Vic Chesnutt, Cobain, David Berman, Molina, Nick Drake, Townes Van Zandt. All of them lost the fight. Add drugs which I also struggle with and it doesn’t look too good.
my favorite band
Love you Mark❤
This song is an encapsulated Wes Anderson film.. so much pathos and beauty. 🙏💖
Music to listen to when anxiety hits hard
I want to cry the happiest tears.
I felt the same way
i can imagine the beatles singing this song.this is so good
so beautiful
They're still great after all these years.
This is beautiful
Wonderful!!!😊
Beautiful
Great beautiful new song by MARK LINKOUS. If the entire album is going to be like this.........
So good....
This fills me with joy and sadness in equal measure. Mark's music has always done that for me.
Beautiful. Thank you Linkous family.❤
Haunted; very pretty.
yes
Es extraño como una persona a la que nunca conociste le puedes tener tanto aprecio y es que en la música de Mark encontré el consuelo que nadie supo darme. Escuchar esto después de tantos años es como alguna vez lo dijo “estrellas muriendo en tu pecho”
I remember talking to a friend of his about this unreleased material back in 2012. It's so odd that it's finally out. I didn't expect it.
es bellísimo... ):
목소리를 다시 듣게되다니 감격스럽네요.😢
Preseeeent!!! Love this
Good song. Sometimes like a melodic cousin to Mojave 3's Return to Sender. Looking forward to the album.
Same thought, I stand all day with a rose in my teeth....
And Matching Moles Caroline.. ua-cam.com/video/tdVkqLrsr4M/v-deo.html
The first Noel, the angels did say…

Classical avant-garde
George Strombo sent me here ❤
Maybe....... None...... Know......... That laughter is good........
N1 single without errors =? =?
Wonder if Mark was into Matching Mole ..? ua-cam.com/video/tdVkqLrsr4M/v-deo.html
The song is great and all, but is this right? How much of this would Mark Linkous have wanted? Was it his plan to release it all?
definitely was planned to be released. it’s been rumored for a release through anti since 2009. he along with his manager deemed it 95% completed before his passing
@@blockperce Few!
he had the name and tracklist order all done before his death.
I love it. You love it. He’d love that we all love it. New Sparklehorse is a gift from beyond
If maybe not, better not because I don't know😊
