Before I let you down again
I just want to see you in your eyes
I would have taken everything out on you
I only thought you could understand

They say every man goes blind in his heart
And they say everybody steals somebody's heart away
And I've got nothing more to say about it
Nothing more than you would me

Send me your flowers of your december
Send me your dreams of your candy wine
I got just one thing I can't give you
Just one more thing of mine

They say every man goes blind in his heart
They say everybody steals somebody's heart away
And I've been wondering why you let me down
And I been taking it all for granted

The same thing happens with this group that happens with Jethro Tull. Mazzy Star is not the name of the woman who sings for this group. Her name is Hope Sandoval. Just as Jethro Tull's lead singer is Ian Anderson. Sorry to be git about this, but it is a pet peeve of mine. Thanks for listening!



And by the way, which one is Pink?

so Hope Sandoval (aka Mazzy Star) is playing a show at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston... and the crowd is getting restless... it is a very dimly lit show (at the artist's request) and a lot of people were there to see Hope b/c they heard she was cute... not a shadow on stage.. so a bit into the show a quiet crowd started chit-chatting, drinking at the bar and what-not. Mazzy stopped the show and started complaining about the crowd being too loud. Someone shouted out "We love you Hope!" to which she replied: "I don't need you to love me. I need you to SHUT THE F**K UP!" Amazingly bizarre moment out of all the live shows I've worked/seen. Almost the whole crowd turned on her. She was very apologetic after the show and is a TOTAL SWEETHEART in person. Just an off night I guess.



superflyLD if you're still out there.... We attended such a show years ago in NYC, former Bottom Line club in the village... Michelle Shocked, who my wife & I both adore(d). 

Note to self: if you're ever a musician, do not turn on the crowd. They're much bigger than you.

Was just thinking about making a financial contribution to RP, and then this comes on - the combination of Mazzy Star and harmonica just does it for me !! Sold. lol.



And this also demonstrates how RP listeners-commenters tend to be far more civil than the rest of the webiverse. I braced myself for: "... but then this came on so I'm not contributing!!" which let's face it would be typical of too much social media commentary. 

RP Forever! That's a tattoo you'll never need to cover up.

I don't associate this song with any particular event in my life, but it provokes such an emotional response. 
Amazing piece of music.

Just heard Bill mentioned it was RP's 20th anniversary.   I only wish that someone had told me twenty years ago.  Many congratulations to you and Rebbecca - great achievement, which has hit the spot for so many of us.

So what's wrong with a little relaxation once in a while? And I agree, there is an air if Neil Young about this.
Posted 12 years ago by bh1    [ Reply ]
Yep, you can always tell Mazzy Star's distinctive voice and delivery. The first signs are usually the head drooping, followed by eyelids lowering and a creeping sleepiness that moves towards a waking coma. Better for insomnia than a bottle of extra strength Dreamy Sleepy Nighty Snoozey-Snooze. Pure aural Mogadon. 3 from the soporific Nottingham jury {#Sleep}

  The beginning with the harmonica, sure. But Hope takes a bit of a different turn than Mr. Young, no?

The harmonica is about as good as Alanis M. Yikes! Otherwise a pretty good song. Some people should just step away from the blues harp, okay?
