Title: A Life in Songs
Post by: Robson on July 15, 2021, 02:48:43 PM
I really like this documentary, but I don't understand why Love Over Gold or Golden Heart album was omitted. I always think about it.

Probably because it was a favourite album of one of Mark's relatives who passed away.

I wasn't thinking about Mark. Lector could say a few words. Love Over Gold album does not exist in this document.

I generally don't remember this documentary being about particular records, more like about MK's bio. Some parts would naturally be omitted, as you can't fit everything. I'm pretty sure you can find a million things that it won't cover, so I think it wasn't intentional.

You're right, it certainly wasn't intentional. But  DS story with the LOG album in this document would be complete for a novice fan, for example.

I watched this whole documentary a few days ago, Its still enjoyable to me, there are always things that are not included with the finished product, but doesn't mean Mark didn't talk about them, they just didn't make the edit, I hope that will all change with the Henrik Hansen film, some time this year I last heard :wave

Just watched it last night and it's always a pleasure to listen to Mark telling stories of his life. It's my favourite documentation of our man ever.

Is it available in full anywhere? Agree it’s superb but I lost my recording so haven’t seen it for years.

It's available in 5 episodes on Mark's official YouTube channel.

Ok, the H Hansen film. How many of you really think it's going to happen? What a strange project.

If it's not happening for the next album, my bet it's not happening at all. H Hansen film is like this feature you want Apple to release, wait for some years and it gets released, when everybody else had and done it for a decade.
