Mark... no one comes close..the astonishing and utterly beautiful and fragile music that you created - whilst struggling with your demons - is such a massive tonic and inspiration to so many music lovers - as they struggle with theirs.. The word genius is WAY over used. It doesn’t begin to do you justice. RIP my friend.
Oh god I miss you Mark. You've been my favorite band forever now. Ill never forget when I heard Rainmaker. Nobody can replace you but I sure wish someone would try. Such amazing music
I wish the man could have known how much he would later be missed. I am so grateful that during a concert of his, here in Amsterdam, we all got together as a crowd and were utterly respectfully silent yet sang along to the most beautiful widow in town. Mark was visably and vocally moved as were we all. There was magic there and it was his music that was the soundtrack to that magic, just like his songs were the soundtrack to our university daze. Memories.
Shitt where did this beautiful jem spring up been listening to sparklehorse for only what 6 or 7 years always been in to alternative and metal music and I feel sick to my soul I wasn’t listening to mark sparklehorse being 48 on July 4th this year feel very ashamed and feck finding this work of art musical engineering from marks soul to our ours I’m not religious but I know he is in a beautiful place 💯❤️❤️💕🤘🤘🤘🤘✌️
Reminds me of the sitcom 2 broke girls, maybe it’s about two girls mark knew about similar to those two. More likely the lyrics are just esoteric like that on purpose and only mark knows why he wrote it. Either way a lovely song one of my favorites by him

Elliott Smith is similar and probably even more talented. But yeah I prefer Sparklehorse lately

Weird sisters is one of his best songs imo. chorus doesn't even have any words but it breaks my heart

Mark you're gone but never will be forgotten. your music was beyond precious
Best version of Pain Bids, thanks so much for sharing... R.I.P Mark and my best friend Chris...
KEXP never disappoints, always good sound, good tunes, and a great time!
When I heard of his passing, it was the first time I cried in decades
I'm still so sad thinking of him leaving
Same😞

Cool ! . . . .Would be great if we just could see the full video! but still !
This is Neil Young if he had to spray paint his motorcycle gas tank.
So Geil!
i need that picture!
I am trying to get it .is it that he is a poet . Or do you love the sound also
Both. Check out Wonderful Life, or Good Morning Spider, (my personal favorite). He had a really unique, intentionally low fi production style.
:3
I thought Weird Sisters was maybe a reference to the fictional Harry Potter band, but i guess this song was written a couple years before the 1st book
