"He's got a lot of great ideas. Yeah. His latest idea is the esophagus". These two have so much fun together. You can just feel their creative energy dancing around them. Fabulous interview.

Mark deserved to live longer and relax. So much credit we owe him for his musical contributions.No-one today is capable of making music like him...

Only really discovered TalkTalk/Mark Hollis when his passing was announced. Listen to them all the time. I'm 72 this year, but luckily for me, my taste of music changes. I have friends who still only listen to music from late fifties/sixties. Sad really, missing out on some brilliant music. Still listen to new music. If my ears like it, and it moves me inside, I'll listen to anything.

Mark had a high IQ, bad for creavtivity in the sense of structure (pop/rock), the guy was a maverick and he was never given the credit he deserved. He could have done great things in later years but he chose family as being far more important and for that alone it just showed how he viewed the authenticity for which his art was being portrayed against the values of his children being reared. He will have my respect forever.... r.i.p. Mark.

I don't do hero worship, but if I ever were to change my mind for one person, Mark Hollis would be the man for me

R.I.P. Mark Hollis. Part of me youth. Danced my ass off on their music. And still listening to it.

Thank you very much Mark without glasses smiling and talkative its really rare and amazing thing!

He is a man with ethics, and is just being himself, when the reporter just wants bubbly and fun,, Mark is naturally well-thought and introspective

Forever and ever Mark Hollis and Talk Talk 👑💖🦋✨️💔

When I see him sittin' there I cannot believe he's not with us anymore. 😢 I'll never get over it!

Mark was never designed for 'pop' interviews. He was a pioneer. RIP

i just love the honesty Mark has, he really dosnt care about awards etc its really only about the music, i so miss this in todays music world of publicity and celebrity

So sad the band don't left more music, this man was a genius. RIP and thanks.

Nothing will ever touch Mark. He was the apex. Still missing you.

Rest In Peace Mark, your eternal genius will shine on forever.

He was shy and felt uncomfortable.. I love Mark.

Thumbs up if you miss the 80's..

Maybe Mark Hollis wasn't just joking when he said that actually he himself is all the animals we see in the video of 'It's My Life'? As being so concerned with the environment and nature, I think he saw things in a holistic, spiritual way: everything connected. The animals and Nature is 'his life' that 'never ends'. He and Pope sure loved each other; Mark's surprised, happy smile after Pope kissed him on the head at the end of the Dum Dum video, so sweet. And what fun they must have had together, both so sensitive, creative and full of whit!

I love Mark Hollis. As an American I had never actually heard him speak while not singing, partly because I was born in '85 and partly because I only got into Talk Talk about a year ago. I was extremely surprised to hear that he has something of a Cockney accent! When listening to him sing I always imagined him as having a very posh accent. He's so cute, though...brilliant and cute.

RIP To Mark Hollis. Talk Talk , often emulated , never matched. 🎸 on in Heaven Mark.

He had a great sense of humour, Tim as well. Love how he messed with every interviewer

RIP Mark... many thx for all this great music and lyrics... timeless music ... and sure will be listen to in 100 years when others long fade away... we will miss you!

RIP talk talk are awesome

Remember watching on MTV in early 80s. A musicial genius. He was 4 yrs. older than I. RIP Mark! 🎼🎤📻🎸

Pop interviews are tough for talented, intelligent and introspective artists! You just can't express your art in a nutshell! RIP MARK

Agree mark said ads being more like pop videos he's a legend mark doesnt talk much in interviews because journalists just try to use him to inflate their own egos good on you mark for not playing their game you are talented miss your haunting voice

Tim Pope one of the best pop video directors of the world.

So sad he passed away :-(

Thanks so much for this - Mark fascinates me, especially when the glasses are off !!xx

RIP Maestro! Forever in our Hearts!

This interview is very Pythonesque .... with Michael Palin and Eric idle..very British... two talented down to earth guys who produced some of the most iconic British music of the 80’s

Mark Hollis, quanto mi dispiace che non ci sei più! Ti ho sempre ascoltato. SEI STATO UN " GRANDE". UN GENIO. FORSE NON SEMPRE COMPRESO. MA UN GRANDE.UNA BAND CHE MI HA ACCOMPAGNATO ANCHE NELLA MIA GIOVENTÙ E MAI DIMENTICATA.

I think they are both hilarious, that is the kind of interview I like a lot! At least it is not boring.

Mark era muito tímido ao mesmo tempo enigmático ❤❤

He's from Tottenham, he has that accent.

Marck Hollis es el amor de mi vida amo la musica de talk talk que dios bendiga a mi angel donde este.

Such a great band of the 80’s and Mark Hollis is the gem! He had so much energy and charisma! I can’t believe he’s gone! A hui hou, until we meet again.

Talk Talk inspired me to deep conversation x Never Blah Blah x

RIP Mark. He sure called the BS out on music videos. lol. He just wanted to make music.

I love this man to bit's. Brilliant man, Brilliant artist, very funny, very caring, very loving, so honest, deep, intelligent, a true genius, 🥰😪Greatly missed. 😭💔♥💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋

What I noticed the most was the changing shirt/tie/scarf/gloves on Mark. I wondered about the back ground, the light is coming on now, thanks. True genius.

Love it thx for share

Mark is a total Hero and should be left to be in retirement if that is His wish. Talk talk gave Us all more quality over Their five albums that most band's can't deliver in Their whole career.

R.I.P Mark David Hollis 😔🌹❤️ TALK TALK ❤️❤️❤️

Mark the best forever 💗💞❤️😘💙💋😍💕

Q lindo ele rindo nao da nem pra acreditar q esta morto

beautiful cool guy

I grew up listening to this music because my parents were from this time period and I love the 80s the music was great

Descansa en paz amigo Mark

mark was a privet man ,.. and did not like all the fluff that permotes videos and interview ,.. he wants his music be heard and sell .. not himself personally . like Kate Bush , he wanted to stay out lime light ,. understanding ,..

BAND FantasTicA MiTici!Addio AffascinanTeMark♡R.I.P💥

Love this stuff of it's time

This would be 1984 if it's when It's My Life was first released.

He is a ****** genius!

Interviewer in such trouble here

It was pretty well known that he was very shy and somewhat nervous during interviews. Very introverted.

ha!. reminds me of Pete and Dud. RIP Mark

This is flicks bday and real name

They are really taking the piss here. The Green Cagoule? Was this stuff ad-libbed? If so, very well done.

Yeah, sorry about that, I knew I had screwed up the math after I wrote that. They were one of my faves in the 80's but I didn't know how they had developed into "Eden" until recently. And Mark is just a wonderful enigma, a musical genius of the highest degree. I never saw them live either. I am going to keep a sharp eye out next time I'm in London, maybe I'll see Mark somewhere...

Really interesting piece of history here about a great (although slightly awkward) man

RIP Mark

Che bello che è Mark!!!!

I know, I've been there many times, it's a great country. It was a random impression I had :)

I love mark

Mittwoch, 02.04.1986 ein unvergesslicher Tag für mich (den ich mit euch teilen möchte), das Konzert von TalkTalk The Colour of Spring Tour, im Zürcher Volkshaus. Am Nachmittag, ein paar Stunden vor dem Konzert, verliess Mark Hollis alleine (und ohne Brille :-)den Hintereingang des Volkshauses. Ich und mein Kollege hinterher. Wir hatten leider nichts schreibbares für ein Autogramm dabei.... Zum Glück entdeckten wir ganz in der Nähe einen kleinen Tante Emma Laden :-) mein Kollege huschte in den Laden und kaufte einen Kugelschreiber.... ich schaute in der Zwischenzeit in welche Richtung Mark Hollis lief... Dann gingen wir auf ihn zu und er stand wahrhaftig vor uns und signierte smilend die Tickets :-) wooooow, ein unvergesslicher, emotionaler Moment....

R.I.P Mark hollis 1955 - 2019 :(

RIP, Mark. :(

People say Mark Hollis was shy, but at least he could look people in the eye when talking to them!!!!!!!!1 That's beyond me!!!!!!!!

Tim Pope produce very nice Videos for the Band "The Cure". Mark Hollis Music unforgettable. R.I.P.

"A time for passing"

Rest in peace Mark

Tim Pope reminds me of my old mate Dylan.

OS AMO

Just found out he died on Monday. Can't believe it. He seemed ageless. RIP.

I wish the sound quality was better on this recording! But thanks anyway.

what is the movie called they're talking about around 9 min: the grey gargoyle?

Hi, I was just wondering how you inferred that Mark was very nervous?

we have ways to make you talk talk.

There are traces of Dudley Moore in Mark in this interview

Has anyone seen the original video for Life's What You Make It?

it was hard to interview Mark Hollis because he was extremely nervous talking so that's why he had to constantly make jokes to calm his nerves. Unfortunately, here in America our stars just take a lot of drugs and alcohol to avoid being nervous.

"That was a good link."

I was in too talk talk big time I wish mark well

Mark muy incómodo ante su amigo y fanático extraordinario músico y talentoso artista por siempre my kerido amor platónico te amo mark hollis

11:15 is what we have now, Xfactor generation. Mark is spot on.

Tim Pope also did The Thes Infected movie...that film is intense...check it out if you can find it

Talk Talk > Queen > Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark > Simple Minds > Tears For Fears > Thompson Twins

Very Derek and Clive!

Talk Talk is one of few '80s bands whose music resonates with equal or greater relevancy now (in pandemic-traumatized 2021) than it did in the '80s. I like their pop stuff better than the slow bubbling, jazzy- melancholic artiness of their latter day albums but all their work is fascinating. Here is my top 5 list by Talk Talk: 5. Desire 4. Living In Another World 3. Give it Up 2. It's My Life 1. Life's What You Make It

Hi Dovie, sorry 2 B a bore .......born 4 January 1955, 58. Check out the wiki. Will always be my all time fav band ... though at 59 was around at the time. Biggest regret, never got to see them live! Check out 'Live at Montreux' Classic Mark Hollis. Cheers.

You have wondreful husband. Thank you for the video!

2 years before Spirit Of Eden , maybe the best album

Thanks! I like you to:)

Ahh, I wish this was subtitled... us non-brits would very much enjoy getting all the nuances!

What kind of movie or film are they talking about (from sek. 8.47 on)? Does anyone know???

Tim Pope made most of The Style Council Videos

RIP Mark Hollis.

Oh Mark, so funny. That interviewer didn’t have a clue 👍🙏👍

RIP
