Not-Quite-a-Markie-Post

[przed]

Still sorting through far too many pics for the Markie post I promised a few of you Thatter types (tonight! promise!), but today we have an actual video of an actual new song!

And there's a (very short) tour in June, and tickets go on sale next week. Cue hyperventilating and much crossing of fingers.

This post is Markie enough for me and exactly what we need right now!! (The 'Thatter types' that is ;))

I'm already so deeply in love with the song, and video! So powerful, with a melancholic feel to it, just how Mark's songs are supposed to sound. That's what I hear anyway ;) What do you think of the song/video?

And have you seen and read the interview on the BBC site? So Markie, so sad at times! I'm hoping really, really hard that this album will do well, the poor insecure thing!

So are you going to try and get tickets? (I've put my hopes on that presale you get access to when you order the CD from his site!)

It's a gorgeous song! He does really write some beautiful stuff and this is among his best, I really do feel *g*

I really hope this one goes better for him, he deserves it at least as much - on pure artistic merit, leaving aside how lovely he is - as half the artists in the chart.

This is a great Markie-post, even if it's not a "real" one ;)

I love the song very much and I like the video too. The video is a bit sad I think. I must say that I love the song more than maybe I thought I would have. I was a little worried beforehand whith the talk about electro-pop so I kind of feared that I wouldn't like it very much. I want to really like the music, and not just like it because it's Mark, if that makes any sense ;) But I need not have worried; I love it!

I have listened to the preview of the songs from the album and that sounds very promising too :) I don't want to listen to the preview too much though, but I was too curious to not have a listen *g*.

The tour dates are really bad ones for me and I'm not sure I will be able to go to any of the dates, which is making me totally miserable :( I wish they had not announced the tour dates so close to the actual dates...Anyway, I pre-ordered the deluxe boxset to get the pre-sale code. The dates that maybe *could* work is either Sheffield or Glasgow, so we'll see. I wish I could go to any of the German dates. It would be heaven to be able to buy a ticket already, not having to worry about ticketstress ;) But sadly those dates are impossible for me. Oh well, we'll se what happens. The most important thing is that Mark is back!

I *love* the song, and I think Mark's voice sounds fantastic, better than ever!
I'm going to the Shepherd's Bush gig, which is where I saw him back in 1997, I think it was.
If the tickets sales are good, perhaps they'll add some more dates. :)
Really hope the album does well, too!

That song literally has me all over the place ♥ It is so so so beautiful and the entire album preview is amazing - I'm so proud!!!

Are you gonna try and get tickets for the tour? I'm not sure I will - I would obviously LOVE to go see him but the only affordable trip would be to London and the date is just the worst timing ever as I have musical tickets for the day after so need to be home again by then... And for just a *very* short (about 24 hours all in all) trip, I'm not sure I can spend around 500 euros... I'm a bit disappointed by the extremely short notice of the tour announcement, it's really not very considerate of people from abroad or every working human being actually...
