=====================
About 2 Meter Sessions
====================
Based in the Netherlands, 2 Meter Sessions is an independent, ongoing (new) music platform with a great legacy. Monthly we film 3 to 4 sessions with promising and breakthrough acts from all over the world.

Many well-known acts have visited the show; from James Taylor, Elliott Smith and David Crosby to Damien Jurado, Ben Howard and Josh Ritter, via Radiohead, Nirvana, Coldplay and Foo Fighters. Archive footage can regularly be seen in (theatrical) documentary movies, like “Mystify: Michael Hutchence” (with footage of our session with INXS, filmed in 1997), “Heaven Adores You” (with footage of our session with Elliott Smith, filmed in 1998) and “All I Can Say” (with footage of our session with Blind Melon, filmed in 1993).

The show started back in 1987 by radio presenter Jan Douwe Kroeske. On his popular national radio show he persuaded New-Zealand band Crowded House to play a couple of songs. The response of the public was so great, that 2 Meter Sessions quickly became a household name. In 1993, the show made a successful transition to national television. From there the show became a national phenomenon, for over 10 years, with filmed sessions of new talent, breakthrough acts and arrived career artists. Almost a million of 2 Meter Sessions cd’s were sold in the Netherlands.

Genius artist. Hard to believe this video is nearly 30 years old. Way ahead of his time if you ask me.

[Theworldisatlarge]

There’s a level of poetry that is easily missed. Although simple in nature, his music is truly profound and light years ahead of its time.

[christiangasior]

Sparklehorse had the same thing going on that Elliott Smith had. Not just depression but just so much talent that speaks to me.

[bcoco]

God he was absolutely fearless. He did what he thought mattered to the track/performance and didn’t give a damn about anyone else. 😢

[normaleehi]

mark never stopped playing. the look on the bands face like they knew they were holding up something very important and fragile

[marnero]

Bellissima versione di uno dei suoi brani più belli, mi manchi Mark 😢❤

[Theworldisatlarge]

Thank you for sharing this. I miss him so much.

[bennymutant]

no way is this 25 years ago! And 10 years since Mark passed?

[frankfzkf]

Love to see all the musicians and instruments play live and of course the highlight being Mark’s Linkous voice

[RustinChole]

Holy Shit. I was gonna say I was shocked he’s able to stand, then realized this is pre hotel room OD. It must’ve been just weeks before.

LYRICS

Goddamn, it's so very hot

Supposed to come a rain but it's not
Oh, yeah
Here come the painbirds
Oh, yeah
Here come the painbirds
Spiral down those hateful dears
Between our skins and burning spheres
Oh, yeah
Here come the painbirds
Oh, yeah
Here come the painbirds
Goddamn, it's so very hot
Supposed to come a rain but it's not
Oh, yeah
Here come the painbirds
Oh, yeah
Here come the painbirds
Oh, yeah
Here come the painbirds
Oh, yeah

De mis bandas favoritas en lo personal de sus 4 albums el god morning Spider es mi favorito

[darkcnotion]

That recorder thing is so cool, Radiohead would do somthing like that

[vertyisprobablydead]

I had one of those exact yak-backwards. They were fun as hell, especially when they glitch out. Someone should circuit-bend one.

[gustavomauricio]

Muy pocas vistas eso hace q me siga gustando mas esta banda, que bueno que no lo quemen mucho

[nashthomas]

First time I heard this I was like who the hell is honking in front of my house

[lettoreentusiasta]

I had a strange feeling...I saw the date of the video (2019), from the quality I almost had the feeling that it was a relatively recent video... almost as if Mark had resurrected....instead it is of course from the remote 1996. So strange.
