Frank Watkinson his story is absolutely tragic. Utterly heartbreaking. Loved and respected by anyone with whom ever crossed paths and everyone who ever had the privilege to work with him. Amazing human being and amazing songwriter. His music has saved my life before. He overdosed, survived, made one more album, and then committed suicide as he claimed to have felt in surviving his OD he unfairly cheated death. RIP
Just when I thought you couldn’t get any cooler, you bust out Sparklehorse. Where do you find your music? You know more obscure gems than anyone grown man I’ve ever met. You should check out Apple Bed, I think you would like it. Also - Flirted with You all my Life by Vic Chesnut. Based on your other covers, I imagine you would appreciate it. As always, this was fantastic.
Mark would approve.. love your cover choices.. I'd love to hear your take on a grandaddy song! Jason Lytle worked with Sparkle horse and danger mouse once.
Frank, I just watched your death cab cover, and saw that you were taking requests and I instantly thought that I would request Gold day by Sparklehorse. Then... as if by magic. I found that you had already covered it. I am in tears singing with you. thank you friend.
Easily the best channel I've stumbled across in a while. Your covers are gorgeous re-inventions of the originals, so consistent. So happy I found this!
It was literally only a matter of time that I discovered you because I love listening to covers, and I'm glad (and also disappointed) that I am finally here, but way late
Frank, can I request another sparklehorse song ? I would love to hear your voice sing 'shade and honey' its from the dremt for light years album. I think you'd love it too.
Frank, I love your Sparklehorse covers, how can I request more? I'd gladly donate to hear you cover some more or if a simple suggestion is suffice I'd be happy to do that too.
