I saw Chelsea Wolfe in June 2022 - always loved this song of her's - but a the time had no idea when she did this song as her encore - that it was a tribute to Mark Lanegan
I think this song is about a longing for someone who is gone, to hold them in a simpler time and place, free of complications... and coming to peace with that longing, because it will never be fulfilled. Life is too complex. That simple place of closeness, that clear, plain and uncomplicated love exists only in your soul. Gut wrenching and beautiful.
Wow. This is one of the most beautifully stated, thought provoking youtube comments I've seen, ever. I'm going to add this to my list of fav quotes ever. Thank you for sharing.
THIS, several listens EVERY DAY, ANY TIME since I found it... my heart resonates so strongly with this piece of music, the blending of these remarkable voices, and the melancholy beauty they create rushes through my veins.
Very beautiful and evocative song written by Wolfe.. when it reaches this part 02:08 my heart gets full of emotion and a quiet joy and serenity .. Mark has been very significant in my life in many ways and I'm so grateful that I found him. Rip Mark Lanegan, thanks for your talent and your rough sensibility. Your legacy is pure gold.
Not long enough...I could loop this all day. When life's doing lemons on me, even when without device or working tech. I can just pure channel it in head. This tune is embossed even in the non waking. Soulful stuff will get we through.
I love this song so much, I remember playing this with two other people on a radio station in Cape Town SA. Gallows Hill I think we called ourselves. Was a while back. Good memories.......Ha I see the name has been taken over, all good. We actually have a place here in Cape Town called Gallows Hill, hence the name at the time. Take a wild guess what used to happen there back in the day. RIP Lanegan
Come to The Netherlands. Everything is all nice and flat here. Endless pastures leading to the Northern Sea. Where we sit, drink and forget our name and from where we came.
I want flatlands I never cared about money and all its friends I want flatlands I want flatlands I don't want precious stones I never cared about anything you've ever owned I want flatlands I want simplicity I need your arms wrapped hard around me I want open plains and scattered trees I want flower fields I want salty seas I want flatlands soft and steady breeze bringing scents of lined-up orchard trees dripping heavy with pears and dancing leaves I want flatlands will you go there with me when it's said in the dark and you know it's always there when it's dead in our heart but your mind is unafraid when it's said in the dark and you know it's never coming back when it's there in your heart in your mind you set it free
+Taliyah J This conjures images of the American gothic west, say 19th century? I have never been to the US, but this is the image it impresses on me, haunting. I think Geoffrey .L Pierce would appreciate this. In fact I think of 'Mother Earth'.
Johnny Trash had to reply bc that is my favorite Gun Club song. And I just heard this for the first time, but it will probably become another favorite. Great parallel between two amazing pieces of music!
There's a place near where I live. Only fields, flat land, scabby trees, fits perfectly. Every damn time I listen to this song, this place come in my mind.
I listen to Flatlands during meditations when have crisis moments in my life. Last one was during my breakup, i just moved in the bathroom and cried listening to the song and it was always calming me down. It seems like Chelsea has some religious sight in her art.
For whatever reason i always read "A collection of acoustic songs" as "A collection of acoustic cover songs". I have no idea why i read it like that but it's nice to know that that album is original chelsea wolfe songs because it has been my favourite album of hers lately
Se osservi il mondo pensi non puo' esistere il paradiso....poi ascolti questa meraviglia e dici aspetta forse? Dio c e" come spiegare tanto talento!!!!🌹😔
Awesome song! Long time Lanegan fan , first time hearing this. Fckn love it, his voice and cello and violin are a fckn gift. Don't know how else to say it.
Sábado passado ainda estava comendo um lanche e ouvindo esta dupla maravilhosa com esta música maravilhosa, e pensava se existia uma voz e um talento que eu curtia mais no rock do que o Mark Lanegan , creio que parelhamente há o Justin Sulivan do New Model Army, mais que ele não
Sometimes I say that I'm having a flat land experience they look at me crazy but they wish they had that it's a place that could be any place it just takes practice and you guys this is the music you need I listen to to get in this practice he's a lucky guy to be seeing with you you're lucky girl he's intelligent and true so you guys be blessed with health love spirit and I love the breeze don't you
Whoa! A video on YT with Mark Lanegan that has close to 1.5 MILLION VIEWS!? I never thought I'd see the day!?!? I assume it's due to Chelsea Wolfe (who I don't recall ever hearing of?). But man her voice is beautiful and this song is just plain gorgeous! How have I never heard this song or of this Chelsea Wolfe character?
I saw Chelsea Wolfe in June 2022 - always loved this song of her's - but a the time had no idea when she did this song as her encore - that it was a tribute to Mark Lanegan
Just saw her live here in Seattle. It was her second to last song. All I could think about was what this cover and Marks legacy
@@jamesjohnson6309 just like yesdterday night in Hungary ❤️
@@llandika2742 amazing
We've lost an incredible voice today.
Rest easy in paradise Mark 🕯
Can´t believe it. This was the first thing that came to mind that I wanted to hear.
This cuts deep. Life won't be as rich without him in it.
Can’t believe we lost another legend. RIP Oldboy…
😢
💔😓
Godspeed Mark, you will be missed
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever . We must show them , show them all.
RIP Mark Lanegan. You never got your due in life, i only hope people realize how great you really were now that you're gone.

Rest in peace mark.we lost a unique voice today. Condolences to his family
Goodbye,Mark.. we will miss all of you.Death is just another dimension..
Absolute genius mixing the two vocals. One of the most beautiful songs ever.
Happy 60th bday Mark. You were a gem in the rough.
So, so beautiful. Medicine to the soul.
So beautiful, for the precious ones who can't find their way
Lovely comment thank you made my day ❤
Such a beautiful song.
Pure poetry, magic alchemy between their voices...perfect ♡
Lanegan's vibrato really adds to this version. Wonderful.
Very beautiful and evocative song written by Wolfe.. when it reaches this part 02:08 my heart gets full of emotion and a quiet joy and serenity ..
Mark has been very significant in my life in many ways and I'm so grateful that I found him.
Rip Mark Lanegan, thanks for your talent and your rough sensibility. Your legacy is pure gold.
I found this song, listened to it, loved it, and kept coming back again. I think it’s a keeper now.

Michel van Dijk that sounds oddly satisfying
Now I listen to this song and think of what you described....thank you for this comment
No, ty, too many migrants now. About time to remember our names and from where we came instead of forgetting it.
@@UnfinishedSwing For Christ's sake. That entirely misses the fecking point. Nice job. Psh
that was a prose poetry, thank you.
Fantastic Poetry and beauty in both voices
Yes, very beautiful :)
Goodbye, mister Lanegan. I am sorry very much. You were a crooner and a poet. R.I.P.
RIP Mark....I remember summer of 2016 walking downtown while this song was playing in my earbuds while walking on hot pavement in all black...xoxoxo
For years I thought this was the original song. It's heavenly good.
I want flatlands
I never cared about money and all its friends
I want flatlands
I want flatlands
I don't want precious stones
I never cared about anything you've ever owned
I want flatlands
I want simplicity
I need your arms wrapped hard around me
I want open plains and scattered trees
I want flower fields
I want salty seas
I want flatlands soft and steady breeze
bringing scents of lined-up orchard trees
dripping heavy with pears and dancing leaves
I want flatlands will you go there with me
when it's said in the dark and you know it's always there
when it's dead in our heart but your mind is unafraid
when it's said in the dark and you know it's never coming back
when it's there in your heart in your mind you set it free

*this is great 🌼
Thank you
To see those words in black and white,
Beneath a glassy screen where angels sigh,
A memory of a man who touched us all
A voice like a gods roar....
Thanks for the lyrics !
Alain and his broken english (from Paris)
This is brilliant and beautiful. I keep coming back to it, and it grows deeper with each listen. Fantastic production as well. Thank you…
Oh god, I feel like crying, this is beautiful....
God speed 😪
Oh my god, what a beautiful thing.

If only every supposed ballad singer/writer delivered at this level.. dream on
Pure ear pleasure 😌
I am so sorry Mark left this world today...he was only 57...may he rest in peace...
Rest in peace extraordinary Mark. We will miss you so much 💜
This is genius. Perfectly blended vocals. Stunning.
Beautiful. It makes me want to cry.
Great voice, great songwriter. You will be missed. RIP
I cant get enough of this song
I wouldn’t think of doing this song in 2 voices without harmonies but it sounds beautiful with just one melody and the same up an octave. Very moving.
Absolutely stunning
This seriously should have been the original. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

this beautiful song brings me to a far away land in my mind and those 4 minutes just flow by. thank you
I can't believe that this is the end. Rest in peace, brother.
Insanely beautiful!
Rip Mark. You beautiful bastard
they match perfectly, they should make a record together!
Yes. How has this not happened yet? Makes so much sense.
@@detrockcity3 also because Mark Lanegan IS the wolf
Have you checked out the stuff Lanegan did with Isabell Campbell? So good.
Of course, i listen to Lanegan since the early 2000. Beautiful records. A haunting contrast in both voices.@@laureng9831
There's a place near where I live. Only fields, flat land, scabby trees, fits perfectly. Every damn time I listen to this song, this place come in my mind.
Thanks for the music, Mark.

this is ART
Amazing music indeed, yes! :)
Miss you Mark. You never had what you deserve in life, I hope you'll find peace on the other side. See you there brother
RIP Mark, you will be missed!
Rest in Power, Mr. Lanegan
Que coisa tocante, esse mash up. Encontrar essa música foi um bálsamo, nesses dias tão sombrios. Obrigada pela postagem!
Pode crê Fernanda, que som que melodia.
@@jamesfreitas6442 Mark Lanegan eternamente! ❤
Love the meaning of this song, it gives me goosebumps.
That's what youtube is for. great mix.
I missed this kind of music from my life
I love Marks Duets with female vocalists. Really resonates with my humanity. RIP Mark
Listen to both mark and Chelsea’s versions separate, then listen to this. 🖤
This is an amazing mix. Wish they'd officially record the song together!
is it a mix????
@@ManuelCruz-sj4kb Yes, it's a fan-made mix of both songs. Mark and Chelsea Wolfe never recorded together.
...breaks my heart.
Hypnotic, so wonderful...
This is such a wonderful mix!!! This beauty in minimal sound! Or much better: I can`t find the right words to describe the beauty of this mix!
This is equally as beautiful as P.J. Harvey and Nick Cave.
Check Pj Harvey and Lanegan Hit the city... Pj Harvey and Thom Yorke This Mess Where In and Pj Harvey and Mark linkous Piano fire/ Eyepennies...
Eurghhh... please don't mention their names in the same sentence as Chelsea Wolfe. She is in a completely different league.
@@End-Resultlol moron
Completely blow away by the beauty of this song.....it mesmerizes me.....!
Kudos for editing. Definitely the best version.
Omg thats a best song i heard from years
The last 4 verses made me tear up. Now i can't stop listening
Rest in peace Mark. I will always miss your voice😭😔
For whatever reason i always read "A collection of acoustic songs" as "A collection of acoustic cover songs". I have no idea why i read it like that but it's nice to know that that album is original chelsea wolfe songs because it has been my favourite album of hers lately
These two work well together. Beautiful :).
So wait , this isn't a duet but a mixing of both versions together? That's pretty ingenious. Good job. :)
+rattlehead66666 Its a sublime composition, two hugely talented people.

Maybe not "ingenious" but I'm glad he did it. Came out nice.
Yeah its awesome, but im' kinda disappointed :(

magnifique moments ; du bonheur a l'etat pur pour nos oreilles : merci CHELSEA !
Awesome song! Long time Lanegan fan , first time hearing this. Fckn love it, his voice and cello and violin are a fckn gift. Don't know how else to say it.
Whoa, what a great version!
Thanks, man.
RIP 2/22/22 💔💔💔
Sweet Christmas pipe! This here lilt gave my heart a rare pump. xxxxxx
I remember thinking the composition was beautifully put, but hearing this mix...wow. Ils cartonnent.
ALL the goosebumps. All of them!!
Sábado passado ainda estava comendo um lanche e ouvindo esta dupla maravilhosa com esta música maravilhosa, e pensava se existia uma voz e um talento que eu curtia mais no rock do que o Mark Lanegan , creio que parelhamente há o Justin Sulivan do New Model Army, mais que ele não
Rest in Power, mr Lanegan 🥲
Descansa... Paz a sus restos... Ahora formas parte del infinito. R.I.P
Sometimes I say that I'm having a flat land experience they look at me crazy but they wish they had that it's a place that could be any place it just takes practice and you guys this is the music you need I listen to to get in this practice he's a lucky guy to be seeing with you you're lucky girl he's intelligent and true so you guys be blessed with health love spirit and I love the breeze don't you
Beautiful song, God speed
Mark lanegan ☦️
The algorithm comes in clutch once again, wow what an amazing pairing. 😳😢🤯
Oh how I love this song!
Sadly it couldn't be more flatlands since 3 days... RIP Mark Lanegan!!
Thank you for making this! Beautiful!
Two weeks since Mark passed. This song hits in a different way now.
Beautiful
Mix extraordinária !! Pena não terem efetivamente gravado juntos.
RIP Mark.
Canzone di un livello superiore!
This is perfect.
Whoa! A video on YT with Mark Lanegan that has close to 1.5 MILLION VIEWS!? I never thought I'd see the day!?!? I assume it's due to Chelsea Wolfe (who I don't recall ever hearing of?). But man her voice is beautiful and this song is just plain gorgeous! How have I never heard this song or of this Chelsea Wolfe character?
I got chills.
This is brilliant! Awesome job putting these tracks together man!
Listening this song now from the rolling hills of Tuscany!
As a guy who likes to ride a bike, I want flatlands too, hills are a pain in the ass with a bike.
Hahahahaha this!
Vitor Roma That's why I ride a Triumph....in Cambridgeshire...which has flatlands....
Vitor Roma Agreed!
I want hills all the way loving bike riding the pain
No pain no gain bro!
Ugh... so good.
How? There is no more love without you. Lannegan for always.
