Mark Hollis - Living In Another World

Leben und Werk des Talk Talk Sängers Mark Hollis erzählt von Michael Piltz. "Er schrieb Hits und verachtete die Musikindustrie. Mit seiner Band Talk Talk überschritt Mark Hollis alle Grenzen." dichtete der Tagesspegel in seinem Nachruf auf den 2019 mit 64 Jahren viel zu früh verstorbenen Musiker, der in einem seiner ersten Erfolge sang: "It's my life / It never ends." 
 
"Whether backed by a Yamaha DX7 or a woodwind ensemble, Hollis sang the English gospel. Gloriously non-macho, his voice contained no trace of bombast or affectation. Instead, there is a plainness that is both honest and heartbreaking. It’s a voice you can believe, a voice that catches and breaks when it strives too hard, rising sharply before falling away at the edges of each line. It is a voice that sometimes seems, in a very English way, to surprise itself with the intensity of its passions – as on Renee, or the surging chorus of Living in Another World. At its lower register – on Westward Bound, or Chameleon Day – it is the murmur of a confessional. It’s a voice with an ingrained ache, which speaks of restrained passion and inner struggle, ordinary earthly torment and longed-for transcendence. It carries, always, the promise of compassion." (Graeme Thomson, The Guardian)
