I just finished his book. Wow. The shit he went through just to get through those Trees tours made me cry. Especially listening to him tell it in his voice on the audio version 😢
I feel like Mark Lanegan didn’t get enough credit or attention compared to Cobain or Vedder or Chris Cornell, but man, his voice was pure gold. One of the best singers ever imho.
No comparison. Kurt and Vedder caught all the spotlight, but Lanegan was out there doing the winding sheet. Makes Nirvana and Pearl Jam look like pop rock.
@@EMPANAO321He was almost shy - quiet and stoic - when I met him. Hearing his voice is to me what I imagine going to church must be like for a believer.
I've never shared this video with anyone, I come back to it time and time again to remind me that there are things worth living for I saw Mark dozens of times over the years, met him a handful, I gave up trying to collect everything he recorded long ago my heart aches tonight
I managed to stick with the collecting. Including the song for a children's book where he was a bear singing about his sneakers. Well worth looking up. Ends in a terrible pun, shows how he was so much more than that dark presence on the stage. I'll miss him dearly.
@@gijswitdouck6929 I never knew where to draw the line, like do you get the Manic Street Preachers album with his cameo? I've got both versions of his Christmas album and was always on the look out for the bootlegs he sold of gigs I was at
@@bananafoxjones4724 I see your point. I've not quite finished collecting, I must admit. I do have every record where he sings on two songs or more, but not all the one song collaborations yet. And I'm not getting into bootlegs. It would never stop if I did.
We lost them all.... Layne Stanley, Chris Cornell, Scott Weiland.. How the music changed today... with so many "monsters" like these. Glad we have their music, so we can honor them for the rest of our lives too
I was so blessed to see Screaming Trees live, and Mark Lanegan with an acoustic band opening for Johnny Cash (Mark stole the show if you ask me, he was that big a giant). Rest in peace, brother.
@@hangingon Definitely historic. It was sold out, of course, and I busked on the street before the show and managed to get a ticket gifted. The magic was flowing that night. It was obvious Mark did not want to disappoint. Have some very clear memories despite the many years...
The stars and a moon Aren't where they're supposed to be For the strange electric light It falls so close to me Love, I come to ride High on that seasick rolling wave And you know that I am Just trying to get out Oh the glorious sound Oh the one way street But you can't get Can't get it down without crying When I'm dressed in white Send roses to me I drink so much sour whiskey I can't hardly see And everywhere I've been There's a well that howls my name From the one tiny sting To that vacant fame Oh the deafening roar Remember that's called a one way street And you can't get Can't get it down without crying Mystery's a sigh You can't get out In a psychotropic light, you can't get out Love, I come to ride High on that seasick rolling wave That's the way that I fall, trying to get out Oh the glorious sound Of the one way street And you can't get Can't get it down without crying Oh the deafening roar It's called a one way street
I heard this song for the 1st time just yesterday. The footage of him singing it is so real. He bleeds into every line. It blew me away again how raw and Intense that song and he could be. So many gems he has left us.
I have cried like some uncle of mine passed away. Never saw live gig, not even a close to it. But some of the songs mean a world to me. One of the most important persons in my life. Rest in peace, Mark. You left your burdens finally.
Oh little burning star, now you can go to heaven and shine with other legends like you, eternally, your art, forever. 🌟🖤 RIP MARK LANEGAN (1964-2022) 🕯
I visited my friend in Seattle in 2000 and we went to see Mark Lanegan. It was an amazing set. The thing that stuck with me was when he took a hit of his cigarette and said, "It's not the smokin', it's the singin'". The crowd went crazy.
When something we enjoy is lost, we value more freedom and we know that we are more than a grain of sand in this immense universe, great memories of this beautiful time and to think that wonderful voices are gradually silenced in the sunset of time. RIP Mark Lanegan.
Totally agree. Endlessly is the word. I'ld like to be able to speak english a bit better, just so I could discuss with fans like you a bit more. Sinds a few years I have seen Mark two times, once in Amsterdam and last november in my home town, Rotterdam. I just love him so much... It's hard for me to express my feelings, when I hear his music. Just hope you understand me, when I say he overpowers me, again and again...
Lanegan has a rare gift. He has lived every note. Every seasick rollin' wave of his humble life legacy and it all feeds his soul with that bluesy rough diamond jewel of a voice, lyric, and melody combination. Untouchable. Except by him.
Yeah, I was just listening to him w/Mad Season. At his much younger self, “The Black Book of Fear” being my fav esp.lyricism & velvety rich baritone vocals. “Slip Away” makes me cry every time. 🚬&booze will effect any1s vocals esp.over yrs of using. Set that aside, but as we all age, our vocals get lower. My dad’s vocals, he has checked, are 4keys lower on the bass end. Any1 who trains & takes care of their voice can reach higher🎶, even to the point where 1can B considered a tenor. But if u r Mr. Mark Lanegan, Y would u want 2do that (except taking care of his inst.as much as possible). I haven’t checked, but I wouldn’t B surprised if his lower register is now in bass territory.…w/that velvet sound gives me goosebumps😇❣️
This man just gets better with age. Quite possibly my favorite artist of all time. I picked up the Winding Sheet almost 30 years ago,best money I ever spent!
Of all the musicians that have passed over the years Mark ls the one I miss the most. He never lost his beautiful voice over the years, and I do regret that I never got to see him live.
I never tire of telling people that he has the best voice of all the Seattle bands, and that says a lot when you're in the company of Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder.
@@keithpatrick156 Love Lanegan! One of my favorite voices ever! But none beats Cornell and Staley voices to me! Vedder? never told me much ... even less now. But with Cornell tragic departure ... Lanegan is today best vocalist! No doubt!
@@christar9527 Vedder never really told me much... I mean I like some of his records... but in fact I think he lost himself a little with the glamour and everything that fame brings. Lanegan has always remained true to the roots! You can hear this voice today, with the same feeling as 30 years ago. One of the last rock&roll warriors, such a badass motherfucker, I am grateful that he remains with us, when he could easily have died. His drug problem was no less than Layne Staley... he "simply" chose to clean and take another direction in life. Respect! I don't even put Vedder on top ... I mean there are vocalists even in Seattle a lot more badass. For example, I prefer Jerry Cantrell voice over Vedder... and he not even "technically" a vocalist!
I can't stop crying he was my everything 😢 I would play he's songs everything he had to offer me brought joy to my ears im now the loneliest man on earth....may he rest in peace 🙏 🪦 😌
I KEEP COMING BACK TO THIS SESSION!!! ♥ MARK'S MIND AND VOICE IS SO POWERFUL I have been listening to Mark since I was 15, I am now 21 and for the first time ever I got to see him in concert (sept 2018), my mind was blown away bu how much power and sensibility he transmits in his live performances. I couldn't stop crying happy tears. One Way Street was the most meaningful song (for me) when he played live, so I keep coming back to this version because it's just...so sooo beautiful.
one of the most brutally honest songs performed in the best possible way. may the wind forever howl your name. your passion and your talent will live forever in your songs. this song forced me to tears.
Rest in peace 🙏 to the greatest Mark Lanegan one of my top singers. Your voice is still alive in your masterpieces. Goodbye legend ...now, i can't listen this song without crying🎶💔
