Me and Henric went to London a few years ago just to see him live. I also watched him in Göteborg and just the other day I found a setlist ripped off from the stage floor. I found it in a box when I moved to my new apartment just the other day…. I had kept it with the ticket to the show. I’ll see if I can find it. Yep here it is.

He has been a huge inspiration with his songwriting and his productions and he really opened up a whole new universe of sounds for me.

The two last songs on this setlist was “Sad and Beautiful World” and “Happy Man”.

What can I say….

It’s hard to imagine this whole thing and it’s not going to be easy to listen to his music for some time but here’s one of my many favourites:

Sparklehorse – Morning Hollow (spotify)

R.I.P Mark.

Might not be the final versions as you can hear but none the less songs from the album.

I’m working on some lyrics and finally things runs smooth again.

I had to take a minor break from working with the new album to find my path again, but for the first time in a few weeks it feels like I’m on to something.

But my initial plan to release the record around christmas 2009 kinda failed.

2010 maybe.
