Mark's music helped me stay strong during one bitter period in my life. I wish I could've returned the favor.

This is still my favorite thing on KZread, miss you Mark, safe travels to you and your heart.

Sad part is, I don't know if he really knew how good he was.

For the past the past 2 years Sparklehorse has been my favorite band. I didn't find out Mark died till later, but it makes me sad that many people don't know of him. As a teenager I will do my part of spreading his voice to a generation who couldn't get to know him. ❤

Then we found a group of people who like similar music and we all go to local concerts together. It really is amazing since everyone I introduced to Linkous before him couldn't vibe with it now to have a small community of sparklehorse lovers.

@@sizzleyfries3421 Hardly anyone in their 40's have heard of Mark by any name either. It's a tragedy! He worked with so many people who are significantly better known too: PJ Harvey and Tom Waits for example :P

I wish Mark could see how much he was loved. I would do anything for Mark to be back with us. This man was clearly sad, but he was and still is an inspiration to many people. Mark's beautiful poetry and slow riffs will live on, at least to me, because he is more than every other music "artist". Mark had deep meaningful words and he needed to be heard. We miss you, Mark.. RIP.

Mark Linkous was a beautiful soul and a brilliant artist. Gone far too soon,

I remember when I first heard super excited and I looked him up and found him a week after he died. It was super disappointing but it made his songs that much more meaningful to me.

Just found Sparklehorse recently, can't believe how much this speaks to me. It is amazingly beautiful.

10 years later and you are still and always will be the greatest gift to the universe. Rest easy Mark

Wonderful song - the backing singer did a great job of filling a PJ Harvey shaped space too

I'm in love with both this song and the bass player. Neither can be helped.

Somehow this album always finds me when I’m at my lowest and always manages to make me feel a little better

This is so true sparklehorse to me is the optimistic feeling for change after a heavy depressive episode, listening to marks music is like being on an old rickety ship that's slowly sinking into the ocean but in the distance you see an island.

this song instantly brings tears to my eyes, i can't even explain it. rest in peace, Mark, you beautiful soul.

Difficult to listen to it now.... But just beautiful.

this song fucks me up

I've literally played this song about 10 times in a row now...consecutively... & I've heard this song many times before...just doesn't get old

I shook his massive and gentle hand after a concert once after a concert in Manchester and it was beautiful

This guy deserve much much love I remember listening to this back then (:

So beautiful. Mourn the fact we can’t have anymore Sparklehorse music.

still all these years later, such a tragic loss to music.

Saw them in a church in North london .Very special band .Lucky enough to talk to mark after the show .Really down to earth man .After the show was lucky enough to be sitting nest to him as he came out to sit in the crowd.We told him the band was really good but he asked me [i was the old guy in the group] why i i was there and liked the music .in retrospect it was great tell him why i was there with my wife daughter and her friend..I said i had been a long time admira of Neil Young He said ok

so fucking great. mark i thank you so much.

Never realized this was such a gloom metal song… 🖤🖤🖤

Looks like the drummer is more than okay to me. I love seeing people get lost in the music.

Love this guy, this band, meant so much to me over the years. Saw them in UK first time around and again just before he died. Bizarrely I love Grandaddy too and the same thing happened there. Saw their first tour and their last tour just before Kevin passed.

pure simple heartfelt beauty

Just heard today he left. Sad day, he made so beautiful songs.
