Have you ever noticed that all the most talented singers and musicians usually try to avoid being in the public eye? It’s all part of the act for The artists that crave being a celebrity and gag for publicity, they use their fame to take people’s attention away from their lack of talent. Fans want to see their concerts and buy their music because they are drawn in by the artists celebrity status and image and the fans don’t care if their concerts and their live singing is crap or if their latest song is garbage because the fans think that as the celebrity is so famous they can do whatever they want because of who they are. All the worlds best singers/musicians are usually shy and tend to shun the fame and don’t do many interviews or anything like that. Prime example....Kanye west. Absolutely crap at rapping etc but he’s built up such a massive celebrity status that his fans think he can not do anything wrong. Most modern artists are exactly like him and hide their lack of talent behind their false celebrity persona.
Such a well formulated comment but completely screwed by the last sentence. 😮💨 Either you feel the spirit in their music or you don't, wich makes you a poor bastard, simple as that. I so often wonder what it's all about this "underrated"-shit in YT-comments?! Just like a plague. A band like talk talk is beyond rating! Don't you get it?
Yes the music compilation is expertly laid out. It is all basically computer generated and sequenced by sequencers. But somebody has to lay that out on tracks and whoever does their music composing is a fantastic musician. And I love Mark hollis's singing style and vocal work. Such a great interview here!
Mark Hollis hat es geschafft. Gott hatte seine Entlassung Papiere bereits im Februar 2019 unterzeichnet. Ich danke dem Herrn. Mark Hollis hatte mit seiner zärtlichen Musik meine Jugend geprägt. GOTT SCHÜTZE IHN!
Mark, hiding his mouth behind his hand in shyness... So cute... Thank you for those musical jewels and your beautiful unique voice, Mark. May you rest in peace.
Such a gentle soul, with one of the most unique voices in music. It's so unfair he's no longer with us. Mark, may you be forever surrounded by the colours of spring. Sleep well, lovely man.
@Ella Blun how about you go get a life and leave people alone? Good 4 u that ur atheist no one gives a crap. Please keep it to yourself and stop hating on people.
The way he talks, the way he seems to be staring at something off in the distance. The fact that he speaks in long bursts. He appears as someone who was extremely creative and passionate about his work and this devotion is reflected in his music.
To those who say he is both underrated and under appreciated, Mr Hollis is only underrated by those who don’t appreciate both the history and progression of modern music. A multitude of Mr Hollis’s contemporary artists, as well as those who came after him, not only quote him as an inspiration but also the albums of Talk Talk as seminal recordings. Talk Talk and Mark are yet another example of just because the later album received less (no) radio time and didn’t chart highly, doesn’t mean they were ignored by genuine music lovers and critics alike. All the albums stand the test of time and Mark’s voice transcends generations and fills first time listeners with as much joy, sadness and celebration as those of us who grew up with him. RIP MH and thank you for your contribution to the music landscape and those you influenced.
I remember that "The Chart Show' on UK TV (ITV or Channel 4) on Saturdays etc that was repeated later on that same night that played music videos and then at the end they had that pop up window made on a commodore Amiga which had text info on the artists and video, this was circa 1988/89. And they played the It's My Life and Life's What You Make It videos several times and again when the singles were re-issued. So people in the 80s knew who they were and they got exposure for sure.
People on TH-cam are ALWAYS misusing the word UNDERRATED...I don't think those idiots even know what that word means. Neither Mark Hollis nor Talk Talk were underrated. The people who were SUPPOSED to know who they were, knew who they were and loved them tremendously and followed them throughout their whole career. Idiots who use the word UNDERRATED to describe someone like Mark Hollis are people who probably just accidently stumbled upon him on TH-cam. People using the word UNDERRATED on TH-cam are about as annoying as the people who say "Who's still listening in 2024?"
I did not really pay that much attention to Talk Talk in the 80's. now that I m 62, I accidentally rediscovered them and this music is incredible, on so many levels.
Right there with you, they weren't that popular here so I only knew of them from MTV. I'm so happy I have found this fabulous man and his music, it's exciting to discover something new at our age
I remember the first time I heard there music I thought great I must admit there was good and bad groups in the 1980eese wish we could go back to the good music days
I've seen Talk Talk live 3 times in the 80's. I was blown away by the music, and Mark's soft and warm voice. Nowadays i still am a great fan, and often listens to their music. You surely will be missed Mark.
@@Fly_Butterfly..., in these times when he had short hair and no sunglasses he seemed so happy. I loved to see him smile with his cheeky eyes. Later in his career he seemed he had lost his touch with his fans. I really miss him and his music.
@@moniquevandepol8693 Thanks for sharing your feelings and thoughts. I've heard he was not made for this popular pop star live.... he was an artist, a beautiful and authentic soul who just wanted to do what he was born to. Not for entertaining for sure It was simply art... As hismelf. Therefore the hiding😎 and only a few interviews etc. He lost touch with the dirt music industry. Just like Prince, John Lennon( may be the reason they had to die???) I just found out there is a new book about him. A biography !!!!! Mark Hollis: A Perfect silence. It is a perfect title... as he was a perfection in so many things.... even his silence after his fame. My first big love boyfriend looked like him. Somebody told me this before we first met... I fell in love already before we met. We got in touch after 35 yrs... and all the memories came up and I ca not stop thinking back and discovering Mark now as an adult with a couple of days more life experince. 🙂 Both are wonderful souls. Somehow...we are all connected. 💞💫🫂🧚♀️
From the age of 14 to now at 50 years of age Talk Talk / Mark Hollis has been a part of my life. Thank you Mark Hollis for creating music that grew with me.....i will miss ya !!! A fan from Texas!
Woke up at 3 a.m. today, and again lay there thinking of his legacy. It helps to know there are other people all over the world who appreciate his work and his life.
Why have I only just found out about this great man and learnt, tonight, that he died last year?? How sad, He seemed really genuine. Talk Talk were a great band
Mark was truly a genius and legend. you can tell just from this interview of how his mind thinks and works and then you hear him speak and you know this guy knew music up, down, left and right. RIP Mark Hollis😢
The first single I bought with my salary was Talk Talk- Talk Talk, and I never looked back. Their chemistry and artistry is absolutely prolific. A band loaded with class, expression, freedom, musicality and some of the much unforgettable catch phrases ever: "A little earlier it was a game, I'm so disposable you can throw me away." Mark is different class!
Es imposible no amarlo. Mark no puede ocultar su timidez, su calidez y su innegable calidad artística. Sus gestos tan emocionales, su mirada apasionada, profunda y calma al mismo tiempo. Su inefable voz. Su sencillez. Pura paz. Es un ser humano carismático y absolutamente adorable 🌻🌼👏✨
I am very saddened by the passing of Mark Hollis - And although he departed music biz some 20 years ago, the loss out of the earthly life is what hurts- I am so grateful for his work and i found comfort and approval through all of the TALK TALK albums - I posses all and not one album was bad - They all had their own character - Mark taught me how to listen to music in a very different and special way and how to absorb the emotion in it ... We have lost a great one and his legacy will live on in my heart.
Listening to him in interviews and reading some and then knowing his music fairly well it's an understatement to say that Mark Hollis was a sensitive soul.
Hi Dennis he was a great artist he was born February 1955 and I was born a few months later still quiet young in today's world at least we can listen to him I remember his first song I think he was a shy person and his music will go on forever
Thank you for posting such a great piece of music history. Mark deserves all the recognition in the world for the amazing music he created. He was a true genius, an artist in all the extension of the word. His lyrics, his haunting voice, his music, are forever in my heart, I feel such a huge lost with his departure, but I am grateful i've been listening to Talk Talk almost all my life. Thank you Mark, you made the world a better place with your music.
I could 'nt say better so much what you write transcribes exactly what I feel. I've been listening to Talk Talk and Mark for almost 36 years, and I never get tired of it. It is an immense sorrow which eats me since his departure. So unfair. Me too, Mark is in my heart forever.
Mark Hollis est l'anti-star parfaite. Il laisse une œuvre sophistiquée et surtout un témoignage de vie remarquable de profondeur. C'est un homme libre et un authentique artiste. Cher Mark entre dans la joie éternelle à présent! Et 1000 mercis pour tout ce que tu nous as donné... un fan très reconnaissant.
There’s a certain amount of satisfaction and remorse that people are just now discovering Talk Talk but I’m very happy that they have. Mark Hollis will live forever in my heart and my vinyl…
I totally agree. Heard thousends of albums in my 55 years and the colour of spring is still my favored. Not a week goes by since it came to light that I didn't listen to it, I bring it everywhere I go. What a great gift.
@@jake2879 true, both great albums. They never got the share of acknowledgement they should have. Maybe because it is such out of the box kind of music.
Thank you for this, the first video I have seen of Mark speaking. So different to the in-your-face, self-important nonentities that are so common in the 'music' scene. It's hard to equate the shy, softly spoken man here with his ground-breaking music and his performances that, sadly, I will only ever see on video. Though his unpretentious manner, quietly confident but completely lacking in pomposity or self-aggrandisement, is entirely consistent with how he seems to have lived, a private man who for a few years produced some incredible music, then returned, with no regrets by the accounts of all his friends, to a quiet, family life. A shame he, and they, didn't enjoy more of it.
I think he was a very special person, the way he composed, the tone of his voice transported to other states, he sang with his eyes closed and felt every word, he was shy but with a great inner world that emerged through his compositions, He was self-taught but he surpassed himself over and over again, he never stopped experimenting and evolving, he never wanted to repeat a winning formula, he wanted to sing but he didn't want fame, he hated being the focus of attention and many unpleasant things that still happen today in the music industry, which ended up making him decide to retire. He wanted to make timeless music that would last over time and he more than succeeded, he was humble, he had his feet on the ground and had great sensitivity. In his short career he managed to evolve musically and personally much more than others will not achieve in a lifetime. I think that he was never really aware of everything he did and also of the great influence that he has been for many other current bands. He was not valued in his time, but today I think he enjoys the recognition he deserves, both from many of his musical peers, as well as from people who value his creativity, sensitivity and talent, as well as from new young generations who have known him in the present. He is no longer with us but fortunately, his music, his talent, his charm and these images are still here forever. Personally, his music and his voice accompany me permanently and his life is an example, although as every person had lights and shadows, I rescue, never stop being yourself, find your own path, evolve in whatever you do, have your clear priorities, be a good person, do what you love and enjoy your art for yourself.
TalkTalk song it's My Life was THE heart and soul of the '80s. If you have the time look at some of the live videos of this song, he sings it perfectly every time, a true perfectionist. Using studio musicians in addition to the original three, gives it that huge depth of sound. This was a one of the kind band, many have tried to copy, but none have duplicated.
Legend a gent and a very smart guy who didnt dance to the journalists tune he made them dance to his god mark how i miss you much love and respect heaven bless you
I first saw them in their early days supporting Genesis - the reunion gig with Peter Gabriel at Milton Keynes Bowl in 1982. One of the few new bands on the scene back then who could actually cut it live. Well obviously they could or they wouldn't be playing with Genesis. They were really good and I bought all their records from that point onwards. Spirit Of Eden was exceptional and thirty years later still sounds like it was recorded yesterday. I'm most saddened by Mark's death.
I bet it was fantastic I know Peter Gabriel was a class act both have left this world at least you got to see talk talk it's not fare we are left with terrable groups rap is gastley the music's really bad don't like to listen to the music it has no meaning to it
your music always hits me in the heart. For years I hoped to hear something from you again. unfortunately in vain. pity so much talent and so little published. thanks for the timeless wonderful music. rest in peace mark. I miss you.
I play Spirit of Eden every single day. It never ceases to amaze and touch me. It IS the spirit of Eden indeed. Thank you Mark Hollis, may you rest in peace.
I haveta say. This was the first time I heard Mark speak about music! He was very persisted and articulate about his music, what a brilliant song writer he was..... You will be missed!
Love talk talk. Mark Hollis legend! Totally different from anything out the 80s mega talent he knows it and so does any other Talk Talk fan. RIP Mark Hollis.
Kept from the public eye as much as he could. Never bought into the fame game. Made some of the best music ever produced. So underrated.

Underrated Genius
Yep total agreement from me.
Exactly

He is a New Romantics God 😎🌌🪐✊🏾❤️🇬🇧🇪🇺
I think all true geniuses are underrated
As we can see in this interview, Mark was so sensitive and full of emotions and we hear that in his music.
RIP Mark Hollis.
Mark was a rare genius that we seldom see in this world.
Such a gentle soul, with one of the most unique voices in music.
It's so unfair he's no longer with us.

Yes he comes across as a top bloke with typical English modesty. I love this album.

Same here. I'm heartbroken that I will forever be unable to see them in concert. Great sadness.
Agreed, I've discovered them late too!

An unforgettable voice no one can match. Unique! RIP Beautiful Man

Me encanta su tema is my life...lo escuche desde la infancia...jose de paraguay
TalkTalk song it's My Life was THE heart and soul of the '80s. If you have the time look at some of the live videos of this song, he sings it perfectly every time, a true perfectionist. Using studio musicians in addition to the original three, gives it that huge depth of sound. This was a one of the kind band, many have tried to copy, but none have duplicated.
Legend a gent and a very smart guy who didnt dance to the journalists tune he made them dance to his god mark how i miss you much love and respect heaven bless you
A great thinker, an incredible artist and a beautiful body of work RIP Mark
They made some truly brilliant music.
I loved his songs, his voice, his apperence and -first of all- his cap which he wearde in the video to "Such a Shame". Rest in peace Mark!
Dude got a smile just as beautiful as his music.
I first saw them in their early days supporting Genesis - the reunion gig with Peter Gabriel at Milton Keynes Bowl in 1982. One of the few new bands on the scene back then who could actually cut it live. Well obviously they could or they wouldn't be playing with Genesis. They were really good and I bought all their records from that point onwards. Spirit Of Eden was exceptional and thirty years later still sounds like it was recorded yesterday. I'm most saddened by Mark's death.
I bet it was fantastic I know Peter Gabriel was a class act both have left this world at least you got to see talk talk it's not fare we are left with terrable groups rap is gastley the music's really bad don't like to listen to the music it has no meaning to it
@@lindaforrester464 Peter Gabriel is still around, currently releasing some very cool music ;)
Such a cheeky smile. Amazing talented band.
