i'm sitting in my apartment about a seven-minute walk from Harborview Medical Center right now. Mark's apt. was on the SE corner of Jefferson Street and Terry Ave., when he was living here in Seattle... I've been clean from a thirty-year life crushing heroin addiction for several years now. Has my sobriety been flawless? No. It will always be a challenge. At the age fifty-four, two years ago, that desire to be/remain in a state bordering on near obliteration, semi-controlled obliteration, evaporated from within me. I grew up in some tremendous ways. Life is good. Rest In Peace, Mark.🌹
When you look at Mark singing you wonder what he’s thinking between verses. Lots of pain etched on that epic face. RIP, man. We miss the shit out of you.
These notes, this song arrangement, his voice all the combination makes sadness feels sweet and comforting. The fact that he passed away just makes everything more bitter. I was lucky enough to admire him live and even had a couple of words after show, that happened in 2020. I will never forget those kind sad eyes. Thank you.
this is one of my favorites, especially after reading his memoir. this man… how he made it and still is able to spread so much joy for others with his beautiful, intelligent, divergent, and whisky-smooth sounds. … miss you.
LYRICS! 🎵😚 “I walked by harborview hospital I heard the agnus dei Oh sister of mercy I’ve been gone too long to say And all around this place I was a sad disgrace They’re singing, they’re singing Away up on the hill They’re building, they’re building A mystical union, beautiful and still But down here in the dirt they’ll say it doesn’t hurt The devil’s ascended Upon some crystal wings In the citadel lightning Splits a cloud of butterflies and fiends And with a vacant stare I’ll leave a flower there They’re riding, they’re riding A hellhound down the hill They’re sinking, they’re sinking Into the ocean, beautiful and still And yet it’s hard to leave in wealth or poverty I walked by harborview hospital And stopped at ninth and James Oh sister of mercy I’ve been down too far to say Are they supposed to be as sick as you and me?” You’re welcome! 👍
I alway feel sad when I listen to you sing this song. I love you so much, and I still sing your songs every day, Shiloh Town is my fav these days. Sometimes is "Shadows of the Seasons", "More or Less", in a few minutes "Nearly Lost You" will play to remember me to take my medicine. Love you, Mark, love you forever.
After all he's been through to die of the cough one nine . He was sober living in Ireland , married to a beautiful woman he loved. Sad, only 57, died 2/22/22..
That voice like if darkness could make a sound, could sing, could make death and blackness beautiful. You sang me through early sobriety 20 years ago and many nights since I thought I couldn't make it, Mark. Thank you. I will always miss you even though you still sing to me.
What? I used to live on St Marks Place on the Lower East Side though I was born and raised here in Seattle. I live in The Rise on Madison and Boylston ...Three minutes from Harborview.
Andy's family agreed to remove him from the forced breathing machine in Harborview Med. Ctr., but he truly died in an apt. on Capital Hill. Before it was named Harborview - a little boy was born in the main structure/bldg. there in 1942, his name was James Marshall Hendrix.
rest in peace mr lanegan. all those of you who got to see him live, you have been very lucky. I was so glad and totally blown away by blues funeral. A huge comeback after the bubblegum era - i could not believe in my ears he was singing totally new & so badass songs! The following of his works up to the final days of him i find very good - straight songs of sorrow has a couple of great songs and phantom radio has a few more really great songs.. the man made some seriously soul bending music until the end

I actually live right by Harborview and it's all true -- it's the only level 1 trauma center here and treats a lot of addicts and poor people, it's a few blocks away from St James Cathedral, and on 9th and James even today you can look down the hills at the water. It's a great picture of Seattle even now.
Very Edge-like guitar delay and synth combo. Beautiful. Considering what a prolific artist Lanegan was, it’s amazing how consistently high-quality his music was. It’s no accident that great musicians wanted to work with him. Sadly, we won’t see his kind again soon.
Unique music business personality who wrote a candid and compelling autobiography. I'm not a fan of his music but this song is deffo an exception - top quality writing and performance.
¡Como me ENCANTA Mark Lanegan! No puedo creer que ya no esté en éste plano. Le agradezco muchísimo por sus obras maestras. Un ARTISTA en TODA la extensión de la palabra. Mi admiración y amor eterno por el señor Lanegan. ♥️🍷💫
Il ne rate jamais rien et pourtant il varie les styles au gré des albums et des collaborations. Faut le voir sur scène, imposant et charismatique malgré une gestuelle minimaliste. Et cette voix mais cette voix 😍
No puedo dejar de escuchar esta hermosa canción, gracias Mark por expresar en tus palabras el dolor y la tristeza que siento en mi corazón, siempre me pregunté si estaba enfermo o qué? Sólo es sentir un poco más que los demás, ver el sufrimiento de otros y sentirlo en el alma, tal vez estoy loco , pero puedo sentirlo . Gracias .
Mais si ...pas beaucoup en France mais ailleurs on a rendu hommage à ce formidable artiste et bonhomme. Et il nous reste ces images et son oeuvre flamboyante

This all makes me wonder if part of your recovery involved writing. It sounds like it has, keep it up - all of it, and thanks for sharing.
When you look at Mark singing you wonder what he’s thinking between verses. Lots of pain etched on that epic face. RIP, man. We miss the shit out of you.
I wish I had no idea of what he is thinking unfortunately I am almost certain that I know much to well.
Was just thinking the same thing.
Hard to believe I'll never see or hear him again... ❤
My thoughts exactly 💯 so sad🌹RIP 🌹
@@GertTown , where am I gonna score some brown after the gig?
What a voice and an artist we lost...
This song wears pain like a black jewel.
what a great comment!
Beautiful
So lame
So he is saving me from this soul-crushing airport.

I was lucky enough to admire him live and even had a couple of words after show, that happened in 2020. I will never forget those kind sad eyes. Thank you.
I wish I could have hugged him or at least shake his hand. Just for the powerful vibe he had.
this is one of my favorites, especially after reading his memoir. this man… how he made it and still is able to spread so much joy for others with his beautiful, intelligent, divergent, and whisky-smooth sounds. … miss you.
legend never die Mark you'll always with me until my last day on planet earth
sorry bro same feel ın here
Same here.
Yes
Mark knew Seattle's streets. His songs see life in his eyes so we can know it. That's one of his greatest gifts..
Fantastic!!!
I never had a chance to meet him.

One year is gone.Mark,wherever you are,we are with you and you are with us.Excuse for my bad english.
LYRICS! 🎵😚
“I walked by harborview hospital
I heard the agnus dei
Oh sister of mercy
I’ve been gone too long to say
And all around this place I was a sad disgrace
They’re singing, they’re singing
Away up on the hill
They’re building, they’re building
A mystical union, beautiful and still
But down here in the dirt they’ll say it doesn’t hurt
The devil’s ascended
Upon some crystal wings
In the citadel lightning
Splits a cloud of butterflies and fiends
And with a vacant stare I’ll leave a flower there
They’re riding, they’re riding
A hellhound down the hill
They’re sinking, they’re sinking
Into the ocean, beautiful and still
And yet it’s hard to leave in wealth or poverty
I walked by harborview hospital
And stopped at ninth and James
Oh sister of mercy
I’ve been down too far to say
Are they supposed to be as sick as you and me?”
You’re welcome! 👍
Thanks mate.
Thanks
Muchas gracias
he was sooo well read… so fucking book-intelligent

Mark Lanegan is cool as fuck,and what a vocalist
God, I absolutely LOVE this song!
You can't write a song like that without living it.. RIP dark Mark
That voice like if darkness could make a sound, could sing, could make death and blackness beautiful. You sang me through early sobriety 20 years ago and many nights since I thought I couldn't make it, Mark. Thank you. I will always miss you even though you still sing to me.
Beautifully put. He carried me through my son's cancer. I'll never get over him no longer being with us, but he'll remain in my heart forever.
Me too
RIP mark Lanegan !!!
Descanse en paz Maestro ⏳y a toda su familia abrazos desde Lima Perú.
Bye bye my beautiful friend . RIP
This song....Bravo 🎉 and all it's musicians.
I moved from NYC and now I work at Harborview.About to finish my shift.
What? I used to live on St Marks Place on the Lower East Side though I was born and raised here in Seattle. I live in The Rise on Madison and Boylston ...Three minutes from Harborview.
@kevinkiso4579 I'm in the basement level right now at work lol.
@@juliolopez6289 Down near the old morgue, and the cafeteria!
Back here again it never gets old
'With a vacant stare, I leave a flower there'
I always thought that line was the cherry on top of the whole song.
In Harborview Hospital Andrew Wood died. Rest in power both titans!
I had so many traumatic experiences there. Ugh 😐
@@kimberacrylic me too. While working there.

This is epic. Mark makes me hurt. Respect.
Same here friend
Gifts us lullabies he never had
Hurts more now that he’s gone.
a masterpiece.
Great song,great band . That's all You need to know!
He sure made his mark. RIP
Mark Lanegan foi um gênio da música. Saudades
I walked by Harborview Hospital
I heard the Agnus Dei
Oh, sister of mercy
I've been gone too long to say
And all around this place
I was a sad disgrace
They're singing, they're singing
Away up on the hill
They're building, they're building
A mystical union, beautiful and still
But down here in the dirt
They'll say it doesn't hurt
The devil's ascended
Upon some crystal wings
In the citadel lightning
Splits a cloud of butterflies and fiends
And with a vacant stare
I'll leave a flower there
They're riding, they're riding
A hellhound down the hill
They're sinking, they're sinking
Into the ocean, beautiful and still
And yet it's hard to leave
In wealth or poverty
I walked by Harborview Hospital
And stopped at Ninth and James
Oh, sister of mercy
I've been down too far to say
Are they supposed to be
As sick as you and me?
מקסים. אני דומע
Thanks so much for posting the lyrics.

I've been Harborview hospital probably 5 months of my life special memory
Spent many days at Harborview hospital
Best version of this song!

Makes me cry
Mark,
Ti ho conosciuto troppo tardi
Questo è il mio peccato.
Sei andato via
Ma la tua musica ci benedirá sempre ascoltandola.
Ciao King!🫶
Conosciuto personalmente all’Alcatraz di Milano ! Conservo t- shirt autografata! Sarà sempre nel mio cuore ! Ciao Mark 🎩🌹Alphons
Merci pour tout ce que tu nous as laissé. Un monument qui nous laisse orphelins
Simply beautiful
Heartbreaking🙏🏻❤️
Mark just gets better and better... love this.
Il ne rate jamais rien et pourtant il varie les styles au gré des albums et des collaborations. Faut le voir sur scène, imposant et charismatique malgré une gestuelle minimaliste. Et cette voix mais cette voix 😍
Pretty epic and beautiful example of what surviving through a lot of pain can turn into
Agree🌹
RIP Mark
👍👍🎸
sublime
Magnificent.
Nobody will sing like this anymore.
I know what you mean but God damn I hope it isn't true.
@LMC unfortunately it's true
I didnt even noticed this was live
R.I.P. with your voice!
Great music!
