“Now that we got that mushy shit out of the way, i feel like stage diving! Let’s thrash this place!” “You’re crazy.” “Yep yep i’m fucking insane in the brain! Let’s dance! Shake that boney white ass! Or take my picture with your new camera! This song fucking rules! Can’t dance, hippie? Come on! Rawk out, girl! Yes! Break it down, Max!” “Chloe, are you up there?” “Yo, turn it off, turn it off!”
I cannot believe this brilliant track only has 935 likes after 10 years. I miss Mark incredibly like so many of us do. I used to talk to his mum via email.
The voicemail always makes me think about the mortality of my own mother, I’m only 18 but I know I’m going to miss her when she’s gone, and I know I’ll weep when I hear this song.
My family dog won't eat anything really anymore. I'm 32, I was a junior in high school when we got her. Long life for a dog I suppose but still sucks man. 😫
This song is an emotional experience unlike any other. Even without knowing its context (and Mark's fate), its still a powerful burst of anger and frustration
hat an awesome song writer... love you still Mark ❤ He's been known to sleep on piles of dry leaves Abandoned on October lawns Sometimes he awakens with spiders on his eyelids < heavy imagist shit right there
It fills me with nostalgia and anguish to think that it's almost been 10 years since Ive been listening to this track. This song itself is older than me by a few months for god's sake
In the silver morning hollow Trembling and getting old Smelling burnt oil of Heaven 'Bout ten years too big to hold She don't get up when I come into the room She don't run through the fields anymore Built a fire in the kitchen Made her bed by the stove Took a walk to the graveyard But she didn't want to go She don't worry all them murders of crows Even though they was always out of reach She don't get up when I come into the room She don't run through the fields anymore
I’m here feeling the same way man, but I know that things get better cause I’ve felt this pain in the past and I’ve come out the other side, life comes in waves.. High tides and low tides.. We will get through this I promise you
This song is very hard for me to listen to. Last winter I was insanely depressed and wanted to stop existing. I found Sparklehorse and resonated with his work heavily and binged him all winter. When I decided to listen to his debut I was laying in my bed and ended up falling asleep to the music. This song came on while I was dreaming and in the dream all my family and friends were at a cabin with me and a nuke hit and everyone but me died. I cried when I woke up. I have since gotten better and am happy. But anytime I hear this song I feel an odd sense of dread but regardless, I love this song.
I have been listening to this track for more than a decade, it's high time I post a commentary tonight. Thanks for this song, a blast of light in the night 🔥
