	Mark Heard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Mark Heard (1951-August 1992) was a record producer, singer, and songwriter originally from Macon, Georgia.
		Mark Heard released 16 records in his lifetime, and produced and performed with many other artists as well, such as Sam Phillips, Pierce Pettis, Phil Keaggy, Vigilantes of Love, Peter Buck of R.E.M. (who co-produced VOL's album Killing Floor with Heard), John Austin and Michael Been of The Call.
		On July 4, 1992, Heard suffered a heart attack on stage while performing with Pierce Pettis and Kate Miner, at the Cornerstone Festival, near Chicago, Illinois.

	Mark Heard Eulogy? (M.D.)
		But Mark's integrity both as a human being and an artist, his honesty, his faith, and his profound insights into human nature provided for a collection of moving, insightful songs that have touched many lives and will not be forgotten for a long time--songs that will certainly withstand the winds of time.
		However with all the songs that Mark Heard wrote in his nearly twenty years as a recording artist, and all the subjects that his lyrics touched upon, the one central theme that most dominated his work was a deep sense of longing.
		Mark suffered the pain of rejection not only from much of the secular world because it did not like his faith, but from much of Christiandom because he refused to compromise his artistic integrity, his personal honesty, and his vision; he refused to couch his message in a language acceptable to a narrow little sub-culture.

	Mark Heard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		Heard was a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) singer-songwriter and guitarist, whose promising career was tragically cut short, although he received numerous accolades from his peers and left behind an impressive discography of albums before his death.
		Heard's musical talents were noticed early on, as he was supposedly offered a recording contract with Columbia Records shortly after turning 20, but admirably turned it down, opting for "artistic freedom' instead.
		Although Heard sporadically released albums during the 70s, it was not until the dawn of the 80s that he began issuing recordings on a regular basis (almost all of which were issued via the independent Home Sweet Home label), including highlights such as 1982's Victims Of The Age, 1984's Ashes And Light, and 1985's Mosaics.

	Editorial Notes: Mark Heard Lyric Project
		Mark Heard (1951-1992) was a songwriter, artist, producer, performer, weaver, photographer and poet.
		Mark was a master of sounds: assonance, slanted rhyme, alliteration and exact rhyme pervade his lyrics, partly as a function of his spontaneous and emotionally energetic style.
		Mark "played" these noises ("Nod Over Coffee" is filled with them) like an instrument, and they don't so much contribute to the lyrical value as the musical value.

	ON THE TIP OF HIS TONGUE
		Heard was a man of integrity who possessed a passionate motivation to address the plight of fallen man, along with an insatiable desire for eternal restoration, which is repeatedly reflected in his lyrics.
		Heard defined his "mission" as a poet clearly in the liner notes of his 1983 acoustic album, Eye of the Storm: "I prefer to see myself as a writer who is a Christian, and I prefer to let my faith flavor my observations rather than dictate them.
		Heard's overriding commitment to honestly confront this tension between good and evil had truly come of age upon his recording of Satellite Sky, which would prove to be his last album.

		When my friends and I first heard the music of Mark Heard in the mid-1970's, we dubbed him "the Christian James Taylor." His sweet and simple melodies and countryish guitar work made the comparison natural.
		Mark went on to record a number of albums that strayed from those initial folkish beginnings.
		Mark passed away from a sudden heart attack in 1992 while on stage at a concert.

		Mark was a multi-faceted person and I feel that the things he cared about and worked hard for serve as an ongoing witness today.
		To me one of the most important aspects of Mark Heard's contribution was in his ability to marry the lyrics of a song to the music.
		Heard's good fight during his lifetime was with the corperate influences that would have music with a message tidily packaged for easy digestion and predictable market results, especially for an American society that had lost touch with art, original creative impulses, regional and cultural influences, and a God that meets us unpredictably.

	HAMMERS & NAILS: The Life and Music of Mark Heard [ @ PhileasPHOGG ]
		The long and costly sojourn Heard began that year turned out to be a rough one, as this book amply shows, but his lifelong musical and lyrical record of it is a treasure.
		Heard's experience at L'Abri, intensive throughout the 1970s, gave him a counterpoint of near-salvific value to an evangelical Christianity that, he was discovering, had little ability to nurture him and his art.
		Between interview snippets from prominent people in Heard's story and the singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/producer's own memoirs, a couple of things Heard fans and followers of CCM could have probably guessed are affirmed.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Saint Mark
		It is assumed in this article that the individual referred to in Acts as John Mark (xii, 12, 25; xv, 37), John (xiii, 5, 13), Mark (xv, 39), is identical with the Mark mentioned by St. Paul (Colossians 4:10; 2 Timothy 4:11; Philemon 24) and by St. Peter (1 Peter 5:13).
		In the preface to his Gospel in manuscripts of the Vulgate, Mark is represented as having been a Jewish priest: "Mark the Evangelist, who exercised the priestly office in Israel, a Levite by race".
		Various explanations of the epithet have been suggested: that Mark, after he embraced Christianity, cut off his thumb to unfit himself for the Jewish priesthood; that his fingers were naturally stumpy; that some defect in his toes is alluded to; that the epithet is to be regarded as metaphorical, and means "deserted" (cf.

	Mark Heard - a Review of The Phantom Tollbooth
		The dilemma was that Mark was playing at the same time as Adam Again and I had become phone buddies with Riki Michele and had promised to go hear her band.
		I remember standing at the side of the stage watching Mark play tunes from his last three records and realizing why this man had such an impact on my musical tastes, he was without a doubt a genius lyrically and a great player on top of that.
		From the playing to the banter between Mark and the audience this was a night of pure magic which I will never forget and thanks to Fingerprint Records can enjoy over and over again.

	Hammers And Nails, The Life And Music of Mark Heard - Book Reviews of The Phantom Tollbooth
		When I first heard Mark's song "Victims of the Age" it was a turning point for me as to what Christian rock n roll could and should be.
		The only time that I actually got to see Mark perform was at Cornerstone '92, it is a concert that I will always treasure as one of my musical highlights.
		It is an honest portrait of an honest man. For those who are too young to remember Mark's music as it was being released during his lifetime, this book and the companion CD collection being released by Paste music is an invaluable introduction to the life and music of Mark Heard.

		Hammers and Nails is the first full length narrative of Mark Heard's life constructed by Matthew Dickerson through interviews with his friends and family.
		The perfect introduction to the body of Mark Heard's works, a compilation of songs taken from his last three albums, as well as a few previously unreleased tracks available only on this CD.
		Many of the songs rock a little bit harder than his more introspective later works, and while some consider his later lyrics to strike deeper to the heart, his wit was just as sharp back then, and his spirit perhaps a little less cynical.

	The Syrophoenician Woman in Mark 7:25-30/Matthew 15:21-28
		Mark goes to great lengths to inform us that she was a pagan by telling us that she was both Greek and, by race, a Phoenician.
		Mark is not a dispassionate historian who presents Jesus' mission chronologically and without interpretation, but is instead a compiler who strings together individual stories that he has about Jesus into a smooth narrative based upon his own understanding of Jesus' mission.
		Mark does not say so explicitly, but Matthew does not hesitate to interpret Mark in this way for he states that Jesus' reason for rejecting the woman was because he "was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel" (Mt. 15:24).

		To say that Mark Heard was an enigma is to somewhat understate the case.
		It is sad but not surprising that Heard never won a single Dove Award nor had a No. 1 hit single, though his “One of the Dominoes” reached No. 2 on Christian pop radio in 1982.
		In fact, Heard refused to politely package his faith in a positive and simplistic way that would be more palatable to the masses.

		They carried on a four-year letter-writing courtship because, they say, they were both "too shy to do anything else." They are a sweet, soft-spoken couple, almost retiring at times, but they are remarkable well-traveled, well-read and self-sufficient.
