It's really quite simple: the deeper I dig into Talk Talk's archives, the more I'm blown away by their musical genius. Lucky me

RIP Mark Hollis. This song is hauntingly beautiful. You will be missed. 🌹

Never got the full recognition they deserve, cracking band, lucky enough to see them in Italy many years ago. RIP Mark, pure class.

That voice and that face. God, Mark was adorable and what a voice... God speed, Mark. Thank you for keeping a suicidal kid from killing herself. You’re still keeping me alive thirty years later.

Mark Hollis, RIP. What a smile. What a performer. Most importantly, what a father. Why do the good ones always die too soon?

June 15, 2024 age 70 still loving Mark Hollis songs, songwriting abilities. R.I.P. my friend. You left us far too young!

Saw them play in Hannover around 1985, touring with their It's My Life album. Great concert. Perhaps the best concert I ever saw. Warm-up band didn't show up, so the boys came out at the beginning of the concert when the warm-up band was supposed to play and told the audience that they were sorry about the warm up band, but would it be okay if they just played a longer set... I just remember Mark coming out with long hair covering his face and a pair of dark sunglasses, singing those long drawn out notes which he did best, and wondering where the new wave image from their previous All you wanna do is Talk Talk video had gone. Then the long keyboard intro on Such a Shame with all of the re-historic animal sounds played at volume 10 throbbing out before the skidding sound brought keyboard back down to a simple drum beat and Hollis bellowing out the opening with the line "Such a Shame". When it's happening in front of you, sometimes you don't even know how great it is until it's far into the past...

I’ve recently just discovered talk talk. I’ve always known “it’s my life “ and “ life what you make it” we are two of my favourite 80s songs, but what I didn’t realize is how unbelievably Great their discography is. I start listen to other songs 4 months ago and I haven’t stopped..

No airs, no graces, just people enjoying themselves while making music, unlike 2 days prima donnas

Talk Talk should be in Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame.

In the 1980's, I don't know why other bands even came out of their homes. Talk Talk had NO competition 🎉

Almost 40 years listening to this band daily and it still gives me chills... The Best band around the World ❤️

Hi from Scotland a massive talk talk fan God bless you Mark you had a beautiful soul a beautiful heart and they both showed in your beautiful music you will never ever be forgotten RIP Mark

This band has an otherworldly sound to them.

Every time you take a dip into the catalogue of Talk Talk you find something surprising.. You also begin to realise in the grand scheme of things how lost they were in an underrated sense, and how much more we might have had from them. RIP Mark.

I wonder how we ever got through that depressive time... at least we could sing and shout out everything while dancing. Today's kids are not allowed to do anything anymore... they can't go anywhere anymore, everything is totally supervised and tackled...

They had such a unique sound. You can hardly compare them to other bands of the New Romantic scene. Their songs are instantly recognizable whilst having complex harmony. Each album is a masterpiece. I hope that generations to come will not sleep on their music.

Who in 2024?

Mark Hollis the voice ! Rip m'y friend .

Mark we miss that amazing voice of yours! I wish you could have wrote a book about your experiences in the slimy music biz I would have been first in line. Rest In Peace mate! 🙏

RIP Mark Hollis. Your music will live on. We love you.

Talk talk. Way ahead of their time. So sad to hear about mark. RIP... Rockin In Paradise. Until the next time..

There is no digging required,the brilliance of this band hits you like a sledge hammer

He will live on forever ❤❤

Mark could have been a film star. This portrayal always makes me teary.

The song was written by Hollis and Brenner but finally recorded with Phil Ramocon (appears in the video as the black guy in the factory) who was intended to become the new keyboard player. The song was planned to be lead singel for LP "A Chameleon Hour" which was never released because Hollis met Tim Friese-Greene and Ramocon was pushed aside although he continued as a session and tour musician.

They were amazing

Talk Talk were never seen as part of the New Romantic scene, but they were the definition of the New Romantics... pure class.. the songs are relevant today, but they were more heart wrenching during the 80's when the youth of the time really suffered

Grazie per la meravigliosa musica che ci avete offerto.

The more I see and listen to their music the more I miss them, those days will never come back, especially Mark, he will never come back.

I doubt there was a better produced band ...ever. The songs and vocals are magical but the fact that you can hear every instrument without them clashing or overpowering each other is what I love about these classic tracks ....soulful, tuneful, full of emotion ..they just grab you and never let go ...RIP Mark Hollis, truly an underrated singer from such an underrated band.

Mark made the greatest album in human history, of course, you know the one I'm talking about.

Never got the recognition they deserved in the UK. Top band.

Everything about this band is just amazing. Their bass lines, drumming, vocals, and even the aesthetics in their videos are all beautiful. I'm glad this band was able to leave this piece of art behind. Not one album that I have listened to has disappointed me. Thanks, Mark and Talk Talk

So relatable this song. Mark Hollis a true legend sadly missed 😢

Recently heard and became a massive fan of Mark Hollis and Talk Talk. I wonder why I never heard of them before. Such an underrated band.

Love the 80s music and love the Talk Talk sound. A while back, one of our most favorite songs was It's My Life, and up to this day, it still is. But then I had an album and listened to it all the time, great music and great sound, this song included. Amazing and timeless.

Filmed in Halifax, Yorkshire, went to that canal on a pilgrimage back in 1990, amazing band.

RIP, Mark. Love, always. x

Lay your hands into my hand I've been rude I don't care what you do Some recall is not enough I've seen a few Creeping like you do My foolish friend Don't try to live my life Upon this weary line My foolish friend Don't tell me if I'm right Teenage tears the saving grace Of this fool But no one's watching you Save this mirror for your face There are two No matter what you choose My foolish friend Don't try to live my life Upon this weary line My foolish friend Don't tell me if I'm right When I can really rebel Yes I'm really saddened My foolish friend Don't try to live my life Upon this weary line My foolish friend Don't try to live my life

I have always loved and been fascinated by this man’s vocals and I don’t understand at times what he is singing about, but I will use the words of John Lennon when he was talking about Bob Dylan he said, it doesn’t matter what he’s singing about,it’s how he sings it, which really is absolutely fantastic, but I have to say I am delving into this man’s work so much and I am unprepared for this,what this beautiful mind blowing gentleman is doing to me at this moment, I cannot take it in, I am reduced to tears,His voice, is delivery of notes,his music,his key changes, this man was a total genius 👏👏👏👏🌹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

The most important thing Mark certainly achieved: making music without an expiration date, that touched people's feelings. I hope to meet you in heaven 😉

just love that bass line and synths, and Mark's vox is amazing, probably one of the best bands ever many thanks

Boy, the 80's bands were far more serious then they seem at the first ear-glance.

Fantastic atmosphere...Mark was a genius and he will be missed

Masterpiece

The most recognizable voice of the Eighties! R.I.P. Mark!

este video deberia de tener millones y millones de vistas. Esta cancion es una tremenda obra maestra.

Anyone capable of writing music like this must have a great mind, a great heart and a mighty soul. Jesus bless you!

Oh. Crap. It's hard to be sad and so hard not to be sad. I love you so much Mark Hollis. You have been a musical voice in my life for more years than I care to count at my 55 years of age. Man, Iove you so much!

Best ever band mark Hollis lives on

Inconfundible el sonido de TT. Que agrado poder escuchar su música..

For me, Mark was a desert-island musician. Take everything he did and bring it with. His death, one year ago today, has not left me. What was taken away from us can never be replaced. Our only hope is to be able to hear the catalog he builds on the other side. I know it will be brilliant.

Борьба за чистую Землю!Спасибо тебе Talk Talk!!!

Beautiful song, great band. It's a shame to have lost you, Mark Hollis. R.I.P

Che nostalgia ..... con Mark che era l'ossatura dei talk talk ....con i suoi video possiamo ricordarlo lui e il suo gruppo. Grazie per tutto quello hai dato. Ciao dall'italia

Absolutely one great group of musicians and songwriters, so lucky to see them on MTV here in the states.

This song and Mark Hollise's voice still pierce my heart, after all this time... 😢

When you and the boys get fired from the factory, the only logical thing to do next is walk around the town sadly and sing about your problems

One of the most AWESOME voices and bands of 80's era!!

I Love everything about TLk TLK.. in some of the videos, mark Hollis looks like two different people.

Hauntingly beautiful. ❤

Talk talk natural history is a metaphor for life itself

Unemployment hit all time high during the Thatcher era...this clip reminds me...tho imma American...i was there bck then. Heard the British pop became popular..and everyone danced to it..

Я из России. Одна из моих любимых групп 80-х. Марк Холлис талант. Жаль, что так рано ушёл.

It’s very rare that you discover a bands demo recordings are exceptionally well produced and good enough to reach platinum! Talk talk did this with ease! Rest in peace mark! 😢

Originales, bella voz,excelente grupo,puro talento, videos originales muy adelantados para la época y además incluían al reino animal en sus videos...grandes x siempre..

Mark Hollis is one of us forever ! ⭐🔝

So many bands I would loved to have seen in their prime and these are right up there. Absolutely amazing band. Get me a time machine!

RIP Mark 💜

Marc Hollis ich liebe dich für deine wunderfolle Gabe mich zu verzaubern, deine Musik ist für mich die Erfüllung und einfach der Himmel auf Erden, du bist ein Teil meines Lebens RIP

Love the look of this! The old presses are beautiful!

Every day without talk talk is a wasted day

Talk Talk Best Band.

Talk Talk ist ein weltwunder super super super toll und super schön❤❤❤❤❤❤🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀💋💋💋💋

My heart broke, upon that weary line... Miss you, Mark, and all of Talk Talk.

I grew up in the 80s and had no idea how good Talk Talk was. It took Mark's passing to cause me to dig deeper into their music. Before, I only knew the 2 hits, Talk Talk and It's my life. Such a Shame is now one of my favorite songs by any band.

007 song material.

One hit wonder??? They have many awesome songs

SENSATIONAL!

R.i.p mark rest well

Omg it’s amazing to see people from around the world like our local lad’s music

Questo pezzo mi fa ricordare la mia giovinezza e un' amico che ora non c' e' piu' , ascoltavo questa canzone a casa sua con uno stereo hi-fi sony erano gli anni 80 ero giovane.

That bass line ! Still have the 12' 🔥

what a great song! 80's best!!

I didn't know Edward Norton used to be in a band - and they're awesome, too!

After DM they are my 2nd best band of all time

Ci sono creature che passano sulla terra per lasciare poesia, finito il loro compito tornano in cielo,in paradiso in un altro mondo...riposa in pace Mark e grazie per la tua bellissima musica

What a fun and glorious time in the 80’s to buy Talk Talk albums and listen to Talk Talk everyday and night.

They say the mark of a great band is that their music doesn't age. For me this sounds better with age, such was their greatness.

The best band ever. That's what Mark Hollis lead!😢

Mark, I hope you are looking down and seeing just how loved you are even now, proof that love never dies. I can only imagine the loss your family feels. My heart goes out to them and they are in my thoughts and prayers always. Rest in peace.

Best band ever mark holiis was e genius nobody had a voice like rip my friend talk talk till I die

I cannot believe that I'm just now seeing how awesome this band was/is!!!

Incredible talent gone too soon. Love u Mark. RIP😥🙏🥀

I always cry when I remember you have passed away. What an absolutely beautiful soul. May God bless you and may you rest in eternal peace 🙏❤

Legend ❤ Mark Hollis puts you in touch with the sacred. Its what he was made for. An angel.
