Haunting....and so very sad...

For those of you familiar with Sparklehorse know that Mark Linkous took his own life back in March of this year at the age of 47. The album "Dark Night of the SOul" was a collaboration between Dangermouse and Sparklehorse that was released following the death of Mark. A sidenote to the record is that it has been finished for quite sometime but was caught up in legal mumbo jumbo preventing its release. Ultimately it came out posthumously and is a sad and tragic reminder of the man who's records brought us into his life and emotions which were mostly hurtful and with pain.
The particular track posted below is one of my favorites on the album and Wayne Coyne (flaming lips) fits perfectly into the haunting and somber reminder that we are all humans and to feel is to live..



The below video/track , is another one of my favorites on the Dark Night of the Soul album. This record has honestly been in high rotation with me lately...perhaps reflective of my current moods etc...Singing on this track is Jason Lytle , an American singer best know for his work with the indie band Grandaddy...
