I was shocked to hear on the news today that Mark Linkous, the singer/songwriter behind Sparklehorse killed himself this Saturday. I used to have this song set as my alarm in the morning:



Probably my favorite song of his is King of Nails




Mark had an amazing strength with words, making painfully poetic lyrics like

the toothless kiss of skeletons
and the summer hail
I'm the king of nails

I drink my liquor from the palm
of a child who spoke in tongues
and smelled like sun

-King of Nails

Or this one

I can't seem to breath with a rusted metal heart
I can't seem to see through solid marble eyes

-PIano Fire

Rest in peace.
