I really enjoyed this one.

Scraps is the first album I listened to yesterday. Followed it up with the Soulsavers efforts, then tossed on the collab project I've been working on and then Houston: Publishing Demos.

I've got the Warsaw gig from '12 on currently, One Hundred Days.

Bubblegum is the one album I'm familiar with, and I like it a lot.

Going give those other two a spin.

Clouded skies are closing in
And not a friend around to help me
Of all the places I've been
Lord, I feel like going home

My favorite lanegan is when he started experimenting more with sound and instrumentation. I can't pinpoint exactly when that was because im not deeply knowledgable about his career but....

I know his first couple of solo records didn't floor me at first.


Blues Funeral was when he really started embracing synths and other instrumentation.

'Ode To Sad Disco' is still one of my favourite songs of this century :heartbeat:


I looooove Ode. It's so hypnotic, feels like I'm driving at 4:30am, just in the beginning of dawn, tired after a night out with friends.

I've just been listening to Mark on shuffle today. I've got a playlist of about 100 or so of my favorite songs of his. Once i digested an album I'd rarely go back to it start to finish. There were so many songs, I couldn't stay in one place with them long enough

Thanks for posting. I found it odd after reading all of the heartfelt celebrity/collaborator reactions that Isobel was missing, until I saw this heart aching article...

Think I'm still processing it and the realization that we'll no longer hear him is painfully sinking in. Losing a favorite sure does suck

this is the song i keep coming back to.



this was tough news this week. like a few others have posted here, i've never really done a deep dive into his music or history, but the dude just seemed to always be in orbit around my music listening. those lanegan/campbell records were wonderful.

One of the unique things about his style and writing is how many of his songs sounded like he was writing a eulogy for himself, in spirit if not in actual lyrics (but often the lyrics as well). Skeleton Key was the last song of his he released that I loved, and it feels like an appropriate enough final statement as well - especially when you consider how there is a sly, knowing wink to the whole thing. His last great song.



Ugly, I'm so very ugly
I'm ugly, inside and out, there's no denyin'
Love me, why would you ever love me?
No one has ever loved me yet, pretty baby

Skeleton key, it won't open up
It won't open any lock I have on me
Rusted, bent and rusted
Your precious skeleton key

I spent my life, tryin' every way to die
Is it my fate to be the last one standin'?
Don't you know it's a crime? All the shadowy peaks I climb
And I have yet to ever be remanded
Yes, I have yet to ever be remanded

Holy, holy
All of your religions are a lie
Hold me, don't you try to hold me
I clearly see my own way to the other side
Yes, I will make my own way to the other side

Cryin', quit your cryin'
Sun'll likely rise again tomorrow
As you follow it down, through the underground
I would hook a leash upon your collar

Nothin' good is sustained, I gladly accept the blame
But all my words won't add up to a dollar
Yes, my all words won't add up to a dollar

Love me, don't say that you love me
Nobody has ever loved me yet, pretty baby
Cryin', quit your cryin'
I have ten thousand tears that you can borrow

Come on, follow me down through the underground
And I will sing to you a song of sorrow
I will sing to you a sweet, straight song of sorrow
I will sing you all a sweet, straight song of sorrow
I will sing you all a sweet, straight song of sorrow

Skeleton key, where are you?

Skeleton key, bent and rusted
All of your dreams are locked away
The hands have stopped, on the timekeeper's clock
And you have got to learn to breathe underwater
Yeah, you have got to breathe, breathe underwater

Skeleton key, bent and rusted
As broken as the heart the dirt has eaten
Love me, don't pretend to love me
I've lost enough to know when I am beaten
I've lost enough to know when I've beaten
I've lost enough to know when I've been beaten
Yes, I have lost enough to know when I've been beaten

I should dive in into the whole Isobel Campbell thing. Its the collab i listened the least, not sure why. Maybe at the time i needed more rock or dark mood. Not sure.

its very hit or miss, I think, after the first record. But ballad of broken seas is great from start to finish. So are time of the season, snake song, and you wont let me down again
