Talk Talk - New Grass Lyrics






Lifted up
Reflective in returning love you sing
Errant days filled me
Fed me illusion's gate
In temperate stream
Welled up within me
A hunger uncurbed by nature's calling
Seven sacraments to song
Versed in Christ
Should strength desert me
They'll come
They come

Lifted up
Reflected in returning love you sing
Heaven waits
Someday Christendom may come
Westward
Evening sun recedent
Set my resting vow
Hold in open heart

Talk Talk New Grass Comments
  1. N.... C....

    Years before Radiohead, Mark Hollis was doing post-rock. I love it when a songwriter listens to music outside rock and pop then brings it into the genre. Jazz and classical influences are all over his last 3 albums. With its polyrhythms and unusual chords this is a perfect example. RIP a real genius.

  2. G.... P....

    I love how this song is fast paced, but also very soft and light, and that it’s considerably long but when I’m listening to it I don’t want it to end.

  3. i.... s....

    that guitar work is unlike anything

  4. v.... 1....

    of course Johnny Greenwood or Robert Fripp are up there as well, but who else evolved from literally being a non-musician who barely managed to compose "All you do to me is talk talk" to THIS in just ten years ? David Sylvian maybe ?

  5. S.... ....

    The soul of the UK in their time.

  6. C.... G....

    Thank you for everything, Mark and RIP

  7. R.... ....

    This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. I think I just changed my entire perspective on music in the span of 9 minutes... holy fuck this song is the GOAT easily.

    I swear, some of these melodies have been haunting me since I was a child, and I heard all of them in the same song. It's like I just had a religious experience with a piece of music.

  8. H.... N....

    ALMOST NONE STOP LISTENING, FOR REAL !!!

  9. D.... ....

    I just realised the birds in the tree spell out the shape of the continents ...

  10. M.... Z....

    Revoluciona

  11. E.... H....

    446,125 views should be in the millions, a work of art, underrated then and now.

  12. a.... r....

    Cheers to you all.

  13. P.... S....

    So beautiful.

  14. H.... K....

    Ethereal. Hope you're having fun up in Heaven, Mark. We miss you.

  15. S.... F....

    R.I.P. Mark Hollis. God bless you.

  16. V.... W....

    Thats beauty right there!

  17. A.... ....

    Will always be loved and respected. A track that accompanied me during hardest times of my youth. Respect. Thank you Mark.

  18. I.... R....

    oh dear god. dislikers . ahahhaahhaa. so much blindness. "unbelievable" its like you hit them in the face with a hammer and you asking them . so did you felt anything and they say , "No" .---- dear love for music please spare me ending up like that !

  19. V.... D....

    A couple of weeks prior to Mark's death, I was casually talking to my brother about how his "disappearance" from the music industry, in a way added to the mystery and charm of his final three albums. They are something pure and spiritual, and became something of a legend.
    I wish that Mark's family and bandmates could read our messages and know how dear his music is to us. To create something and have it affect people so intimately is the greatest reward for a musician.
    I keep thinking about Mark Hollis now and then.

  20. I.... M....

    Capolavoro assoluto

  21. D.... B....

    Radiohead crossover

  22. J.... M....

    Truly astonishing! Flooding the world with love! Bless you, sir! xx

  23. C.... V....

    This is like the sequel to Islands by King Crimson
    Good stuff

  24. B.... H....

    I hear Dear Friends from Elbow...

  25. B.... ....

    Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock are a huge part of my music listening life. This song has a special place in my heart. God bless you Mark.

  26. M.... T....

    Vorresti che non finisse mai.

  27. g.... ....

    never say anything not good about the dead

  28. M.... S....

    Where Do Make Say Think got half of their inspiration....

  29. M.... S....

    Dear Dear me.....Dear Dear me....How can you set the bar so high for us Mark?

  30. J.... B....

    God he has SUCH A BEAUTIFUL VOICE!!! God bless you Mark Hollis.

  31. y.... ....

    Mark Hollis spirit

  32. A.... G....

    Incredible song and one of the best voice in the history of music. Thank you Mark, forgotten genius. We'll miss you so much.

  33. S.... F....

    Farewell you beautiful, brilliant genius. I'll never stop playing this

  34. P.... F....

    RIP Mark. It´s your life in God´s hands.

  35. S.... B....

    One of those songs which compels you to hear every single little detail. When I listen to this song I don't want to miss a millisecond. It's utterly beautiful and seductive. RIP Mark Hollis.

  36. M.... S....

    these comments bring the biggest feels

  37. s.... r....

    ce côté épuré on l'avait déjà vu chez Nick Drake...... deux saints

  38. m.... ....

    piano and drum at 3:15 or so is other worldly

  39. L.... V....

    I'm in shock. Today I was listening to Talk Talk and wondered how Mark Hollis was earning a living and decided to search the internet. I entered Mark Hollis in search and up came news about Mark Hollis and I thought to myself oh good some news about him then I read Mark Hollis dead at 64. I'm still in shock and crying. It's so hard to believe.

  40. H.... F....

    Just think Mark was walking around with all this beautiful music in his head. He had and excellent band to make music with. RIP Mark

  41. j.... p....

    Beautiful. Thank you Mark Hollis.

  42. B.... G....

    So sad...such a great artist...Thanks for all your great music
    Gus

  43. A.... D....

    May you rest in peace dear Mark Hollis. Your unbelievable voice will echo through time forever.

  44. H.... P....

    To me one of the most beautiful and emotional songs ever, and I mean EVER. The outro gives me chills, and that sudden two note  bassline  at 8.17, oh my..    Many thanks and peace to you, Mark Hollis.

  45. A.... ....

    Wow.. thank you hollis i just discovered this.. may you rest im glad feeder have great taste in music!

  46. R.... B....

    WHAT THE F WAS THAT AT 5:53???

  48. T.... C....

    Mark was a great musician! And I'm still moved by New Grass. We honor him by continuing to play his music!

    huge inspiration, you completed your journey and made a huge impact on the world of music. Have fun doing whatever it is that comes after life

  50. K.... H....

    1 of the most beautiful songs ever. i'm bawling my eyes out. bless.

  51. N.... R....

    Rest in piece Mark Hollis. This track is so beautiful and sad. I feel such an overwhelming amount of emotion words dont do it justice. Such a spiritual man and song.

  52. M.... M....

    This song sounds like he has pulled it out of the ether, it gives me peace to hear it. .

  53. K.... O....

    This Album is such a masterpiece! R.I.P. Genius Mark Hollis!

  54. m.... c....

    Amazing to think that Polydor deleted Laughing Stock from its catalog soon after its release in 1991, it sold poorly. I picked it up as a £1 tape in a bargin bin in the early 90s....listened to it once and didn't play it again for a year. Then played it a second time and then again and again and fell it love with it and it remains one of my favourite albums....so out their and ahead of its time.....RIP Mark Hollis

  55. R.... R....

    Listening "Laughing stock" Alone under star in my moutains of east of France...
    Sad
    Thank you Mark

    R.... R....

    Your comment makes me want to jump on a plane and go there to live the moment ..

    Thanks for all the good music, may you rest in peace

  61. J.... P....

    Nothing less than this masterpiece of music (rock? jazz? ambient? all of it?...) will do today. That little guitar line that crescendos around 8:24...my soul always leaves my body for a bit there.

    RIP, Mark. Thank you for such gorgeous music

  62. m.... a....

    On repeat today

  63. m.... b....

  64. O.... S....

    My hero Mark Hollis died. Mark Hollis lives forever..

  65. W.... S....

    His voice as an instrument, only using it when it was adding something to the silence. I don't think we ever get music this brilliant. Luckily guys like David Sylvian can fill the loss a bit.

  66. R.... ....

    So wonderful, RIP Mark Hollis

    S.... ....

    That is one of the most heartfelt and beautiful things I've ever read. I think I'm going to cry some more...

    S.... ....

    Jesus Christ loves you very much - he whispered just in my ears..just wanted to let you know, brother!..

  71. s.... ....

    so sad now you passed away much too soon
