Sparklehorse - someday I'll treat you good

Theres something going on around here
I could not crawl back if I tried
I couldnt wait around
I couldnt wait another second
Something going on around here

I left my baby on the side of the highway
She just couldnt see things my way

Someday I will treat you good
Someday I will treat you fine
Someday I will treat you good
You know I should

Everything thats made is made to decay
Well Im shrinking bones in the sun
Wont you tell me why that
The beautiful ones are always crazy
Shes whispering like morticia now

I left my baby on the side of the road
I left her with a heavy load

Someday I will treat you good
Someday I will treat you fine
Someday I will treat you good
You know I should

Something going on around here
I could not crawl back if I tried
I left my baby on the side of highway
She just couldnt see things my way

Someday I will treat you good
Someday I will treat you fine
Someday I will treat you good
You know I should

New Stuff: Dark Night Of The Soul

I already have the book, and I did download the music, but I decided I'd like to have the official release, too. The combination of such talents as Sparklehorse, Danger Mouse and David Lynch is exciting and the result is a great album.

Mark Linkous: Sea of Teeth

sea of teeth

can you feel the wind of venus on your skin?
can you taste the crush of a sunset's dying blush?
stars will always hand in summer's bleeding veils

can you feel the rings of saturn on your finger?
can you taste the ghosts who shed their creaking hosts?
but seas forever boil, trees will turn to soil

stars will always hand in summer's bleeding veils
but seas forever boil, trees will turn to soil

R.I.P. Mark Linkous (Sparklehorse)

Mark Linkous, one of my personal musical heroes, commied suicide on March 6th, 2010, aged 47, only a year younger than myself...

Better known through his band's name, Sparklehorse, I came across his music first, when a German journalist recommended their album Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot among his list of 100 greatest albums of all time. I got the album and have to agree, it's still one of my all-time favourites, but I equally appreciate all of his work.

The news comes as quite a shock, since last year he collaborated with Danger Mouse and David Lynch on the beautiful and dark music/visual project Dark Night Of The Soul AND on a great experinmental music album with
Fennesz Further, the release of a proper new Sparklehorse was in the making.

You'll find his bio here:

Sol Seppy - Slo Fuzz

Sol Seppy is a British singer-songwriter who has also collaborated with Mark Linous on the early Sparklehorse albums, her real name is Sophie Michalitsianos.

I love her style of writing quirky magical slow songs, all absolutely beautiful.



To be someone
To be someone

I wish I could say the same of myself
That I'm in perfect harmony
That I do not use the sword of my tongue
To lash out at the enemy

That I do not fear the light
That I do not stray from love as my guide
That I'm at peace inside

And all the pieces are fine
They dance and sing in unity
A dum dum dum dee daa da dee

Oh I wish I could fly
Through the sky
And the moon above me
Oh I wish I could talk
To the gods and the birds above me
It’s not fun to be so blind
To be so blind

I wish I could stay in the present day
Not lapsing into vicious sleep
‘Cause it gives my bones a brand shiny new home
One that does not confine me

And I do not fear the light
And I do not stray from love as my guide
And I'm at peace inside

And all the pieces are fine
They dance and sing in unity
A dum dum dum dee daa da dee

Oh I wish I could fly
Through the sky
And the moon above me
Oh I wish I could talk
To the gods and the birds above me
It’s not fun to be so blind
To be so blind

Slo fuzz in the morning
Where I can tempt you
To be my air
But it's not enough to be lovely
When I feel other things
I can not share
That I can't

Oh I wish I could fly
Through the sky
And the moon above me
Oh I wish I could talk
To the gods and the birds above me
It’s not fun to be so blind
To be so blind

Sparklehorse-Someday I will Treat you Good

A favourite song from one my favourite bands! It's one of their more livilier and humorous songs from their album called:

vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot

Great lyrics, too:-)

The clip looks like someone collected his favourite comments from MySpace...
