And I knew I was close to you
And I will
Catch me flying in the sun
Catch me drinking of your wine

I'm gonna put something in you
Make the devil feel surprised
All your sisters wanna fly
Around my golden sky
Around my golden sky

Just because you feel, hollow inside it's real
Just because you feel, hollow inside it's real
I'm gonna put something in you
Make the devil feel surprised
Make the devil feel surprised

And I knew I was close to you
And I knew
Catch me flying in the sun
Catch me drinking of your wine

For the latter, you want "Hurt", by Johnny Cash.


Covered by Johnny Cash (Beautifully, mind you.)
"Hurt" is written by Trent Reznor. (Nine Inch Nails.)

Hmmm....now what could this song be about?

Great song by Hope Sandoval...as usual.

That's an odd song to think of; the guitar arpeggio is somewhat reminiscent though now that you mention it.

         I was close to take the 3 Am downtown train
       But jumped the gun, and took in my surroundings
             I'd that funny feeling of being followed
         Just didn't know if it was my sister or the Jesus
           Anyways, I'm gonna put someone in you
                 And make the devil feel surprised.

My only problem with Mazzy Star is all the songs sort of sound the same. Not a lot of range from song to song. You really need to be in the right mood to fully appreciate their music.

Or maybe, fondness that I'm not broken after all.

Until this song I'd have joined you in that minority. This is the first Mazzy Star song which isn't an automatic Ho-Hum, perhaps because Hope Sandeval actually sounds awake on this song and not as if she's just necked a bunch of downers and needs to go bye-byes. 7 from the Nottingham jury.

This is a great album (the band's best of their small catalogue).  However, I think "I've Been Let Down" is a better introduction to this album.

"Happy" music always made me think more about suicide - e.g., The Carpenters, Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry Be Happy", disco-era BeeGees, etc.  I guess that's just me.

 
Amen to that! I tried explaining that to a good friend who used to accuse me of listening to "depri music", alas to no avail.

"Happy" music always made me think more about suicide - e.g., The Carpenters, Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry Be Happy", disco-era BeeGees, etc.  Incessantly hearing that kind of stuff often made me more depressed than I already was; at least this sort of music made me feel like I could relate to it in some way - like there was someone else out there who got it.  I guess that's just me.

The voice & style remind me of Kerstin Hersh - unluckily, for I grew tired of her.

Love this voice.  Also see Hope Sandoval Bavarian Fruit Bread.  Possibly even better than Mazzy Star.

Interesting to see this post. Hearing this, my mind thought of 9/11 but the only reason I can think why is because the guitar reminds me of a peice of music played in Michael Moore's film, im not sure though, anyone else thought similar or maybe know for sure?

I was a Mazzy Star fan back in the day. I saw Hope and the band a few years back, and (at least at the time) she was beautiful yet so ghostlike & detached that it detracted from her intrigue--- and caused me concern for her mental/physical health. :(

by "her' do you mean 'their'? It is a band, not someone named "Mazzy" and obviously you haven't heard much by them if you think it is all the same.

Are things REALLY that boring at Purdue, or are you just that socially inept, that you have to be here trashing two classics? Don't you have some boy band to go worship? If not, offer something more substantive than "Kinks stink," or go away. Great mix of tunes tonight, Bill. Thanks. This tune is no exception.
