1967 was the "Summer of Love"...that was like living in another dimension /such beauty+innocence compared to today....but...I think were going to return there again....soon.... Namaste.
pretty much, i think i agree. the 2000 - 2020, were very dramatic. i think much more dramatic than any other span of 20 years have been increasing, at an increasing rate changing, at an increasing rate. the iphone years, late 2000s, we went exponential
In 1994 we started going out and we would listen to this song and album at night, and over the next 20+ years we had our 2 kids, house, business (a tiny farm), and then he passed from cancer in his early 40s. I still listen to this song and think of those nights long ago, in my little condo, falling in love. I miss him so much. This song makes me smile and cry and feel the passing of time.
Wow! Memories are so powerful in that they bring about the same feelings of the moments shared yet followed by the sorrow of it never coming back. I truly am sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry for your loss, and so happy for you that you found someone to share this crazy ride with, and the weird blessing that comes with grief knowing that we loved so much. Here’s to the next phase, whatever it may bring ☮️💜
I love everything about this performance. Her mesmerising voice, her shy beauty, her simplicty, that huge bass behind her and its harmony, guitar harmony, no cell phones, the crowd's 90s fashion, the disabled kids looking so at peace... This is the most pure performance and my soul gets lost in the song every time. I probably don't think as much as some of you when I hear it, I just listen and feel bliss.
She HATED playing in front of live audiences. She's said it in interviews. I love this version cause you can see her discomfort and vulnerabilities... I think this makes this a very raw and real version to hear Hope sing and Dave play in this very connected version
You can tell its not good though shes uncomfortable and i can see that and feel it. She needs to be in a studio. Maybe her best live but man when i see her sing i feel like someone is holding a gun to her head.
@@swbottles It's nothing compared to the abomination of everyone yapping and playing with their damn phones during live performances nowadays. It's ruined the live music experience.
I’m sure! In a situation, even when you’re there, you can’t fully appreciate the depth or significance until you have you have some time to process and appreciate.
I was here. This was my first concert. My brother worked at Tower Records and got tickets for stuff like this all the time. I went with my parents and my brother. We sat on the lawn. Good times...The best of them actually.
I have always been mesmerized by Hope Sandoval's vocal delivery. Effortless, yet lethargic. Like she's holding back, procrastinating against the strumming time, yet the words need to get out and feel so natural when they do. Painful, coy, haunting, beautiful.
Arms held behind her back...one hand twisting her dress, nervous head tilts... running off stage. She has skill but it seems very nervous in front of a crowd. Still very shy and beautiful ❤️. I think it made it very sincere but I also wish there was so much more... maybe if she knew or someone told her she is perfect and to let us know what is underneath (idk maybe a hype man) I love this song so so that I keep coming back for more. I relate to the uncomfortable that I see
Damn.. I always feel so old watching this. I was.. 13 years old in 1994.. music was life back then.. no cell phones.. just the radio.. mixed tapes and CDs. I'll be 43 this year I swear you close your eyes and when you open them it's been 30 years.. crazy.. life is wild and time waits for no one.
Never heard of mazzy star or heard this song and i’m 32, yet somehow this is extremely nostalgic and brings me back to a time i don’t remember living through
It's used on SO MANY soundtracks. Now that you've heard it, just wait, you'll hear it in quite a few movies & TV shows. If you have a story set in the 90s, this is like "the song" to convey that & it's, also, used during break up sequences. Just some useless info lol.
Does anybody else feel like listening to these songs on RU-vid with all the people and comments is way more emotional and touching than just listening to it by yourself on Spotify? Reading all these memories connected to this song just makes you addicted to depression somehow ...
Pretty much easily answered.......... everyone is a slave to social media, everyone is a slave to comments and notifications. I did ended up reading the comments searching for depression, but finding it... only fuels my rage even more.
Her beauty really shows in this video. Such beautiful eyes and long hair. And her singing as always is, well, I love it but have a hard time describing it. Dreamy and alluring, I would say. Seems like everything she sings just pierces me right into my soul.
Reading that this was 1994, she was 28, young and beautiful.. this year she's going to be 56... it made me so freaking teary just getting how fast life passes you by and.. I can't even express my feelings, it's just so overwhelming..
I’m handling it about the same. I just turned 44 and try to not think about how much different it was then, things were slower, the sun shone brighter, the colors were more vibrant and I had my whole life ahead of me. Now it’s 2022 and I find myself sad more often than I wish. You’re right, it’s very overwhelming.
@@jackjennings1707 You are probably right Jack. Nevertheless, it occurs very often to me how fast time flies by, and I feel like I am the only one who REALLY understands how fast everything goes by and how short life is.. I'm 24 now, don't know if that's normal, but yeah I think about that stuff sooo much.. can't even comprehend this stuff even tho I think about it so much..
I turned 13 in 1994. 1994 WAS the year of music for me. The music I heard that year has stayed with me and will always. Nirvana, stp, Alice in chains, soundgarden, sublime, Jane's addiction, rhcp, pearl jam, ratm dre, snoop. Man, so many memories.
@@thenewstuff3377 no, the difference is that they are the new generation of old timers yapping about how good music was back then and how they don’t make em like they use to. Music is mostly created for the young generation.
@@pepo2235 I’m not even on a 90s playlist I just wanted to see a live video of Hope singing this song. I like almost all kinds of Music, classical Sinatra, bossa nova. For me personally I think 2000s was the best decade of music. We had Linkin Park, Brand New, Radiohead, MCR, Panic!, and two of the three greatest Elliot Smith album in the 2000s. You’re just like any other old timer who says the music they grew up with was the best and everything that came after sucks, but instead of Sinatra or classic rock, for you it’s 90s alternative and grunge.
@@jaelsosaThe mainstream music right now is objectively shit. There are obvious exceptions, but we are in a low period - similar to parts of the late 70s and 80s. It ebbs and flows.
This song always transports me back to a specific moment in time many years ago when I was a teenager trying to find my way. Me holding a girl I was deeply in love with, I felt that she was smarter than me, out of my league, and had a family that was far more stable than mine. I remember the night when we were laying in her bed and holding each other, she told me that she loved me for the first time and my heart never felt so goddamn full. We never worked out, but that feeling I once knew still exists thanks to this song. Edit: 4 months after making this comment... I added her on Facebook. We reconnected and began to talk again. I flied from NYC to South Florida to visit my family during the holidays and we made time to see eachother (She still lives in Florida). We went to the beach and watched the sunrise on my final day of my holiday visit. All of the feelings we had as teenagers came gushing out again. It was truly electrifying. 2 extra flights back to Florida just to see her later... I broke my work contract and apartment lease early and am moving closer to her so we can let this blossom. I'm so goddamn excited. Final Update: The relationship lasted 2 weeks. She left me on Valentine's Day because she said she wasn't in the right mind set for a relationship. As she was saying this I had a bouquet of flowers in my backpack ready to give her. So here I am... sitting in my new apartment, partly furnished, unemployed, and not knowing what to do next. FINAL FINAL UPDATE: I moved in with my uncle, he let me work for his construction business for 4 months to save up some and get my feet on the ground. I saved up a few thousand, got in contact with my previous job in NYC, and they were happy to have me back (with a salary bump). The work contract has been signed, I arrive back in NYC today and will be working in a few days, final housing is still getting sorted. I feel good, I learned a hell of a ton... here's to the future
@@real_life4735 i do too. she created magic that day. 1994 is forever in our hearts, regardless of when you were raised there's something about the 90s that will forever flourish in our existence
yes...but honestly, she could have done this in her sleep...and probably would've preferred to in those days. I wish they stayed together longer(the 1st time around) and made more albums. At least she is making more music the last few years. RIP Dave Roback.
This has been my driving late at night song for over two decades now. It doesn't put me to sleep, it reminds me of lost love and the moments that could have been.
I've felt like that all my life. There was one relationship in my life that didn't work out over 20 years ago which I can never forget no matter how hard I try. Cheers!
This song touched me so much that the following Valentine's day after it's release I asked my girlfriend of 6 years to marry me. We always said we never wanted to get married or have children. We wanted to see the world and advance our careers. Fast forward and tomorrow it will be 26 years and a kid out of College. Life is a blink of an eye! Way too fast. Enjoy every precious moment.
Really?! Holy shit your from my generation then! I love this song and would’ve given anything to be there. Tell these fools how much better life was before the internet! It was just real!
Agreed! I missed this show in particular but live 105 and ksjo (Lamont n tanelli days) at the time were pretty rad about playing new music and local artist
This song makes me think of the risk you take when you fall in love. Sometimes you find someone who lets you breathe and shine. Sometimes you connect with someone who is lost and you lose yourself too. ( fade into you.) When it is the latter it is so hard to break free. People who are distant and broken tend to pull you in to the depths of despair with them. It is such a beautiful song and she sings it perfectly. What an amazing artist.
I was a young 19 year old when this album came out. Always so amazing and was on constant rotation for years (and now I hear young people working at our local coffee shop listening to it in the morning and they say they love it). Great band and song.
You know theres something to that when ancient sites (think megalithic old) were designed to enhance certain vocal frequencies. Words + tone = basically magic for humans
My wife passed 9/29/21. She loved this song, as it play she'd slowly twist her hips back and forth. Her hypnotic sway captured the mood. As i stared into her eyes she would reach out and draw my face to her bosom, and hold me tight with her arms and her heart....Dearest Nic*I love you and I will find you💔😢☀️🌑🌠
I have smoked so much weed listening that song.. back in the days. Morning awakening with Mazzy star and then Ummagumma and space rock till late at night. So beautiful era... So beautiful musics... So beautiful people.... So different people.... 30 years later, everything faded away. Gone.
❤It doesn't all have to be gone. John 3:16 " For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him will not perish but have everlasting life." God also says in his word that he has loved you with an everlasting love.❤
I put this song on, walk out the back, lay on the freshly cut lawn, smoke a joint and close my eyes and for some reason a few tears roll down the sides of my face. Not sure why this happens but it feels good and liberating. Thank you 90s
Appreciating how simple and happy we were at the time. Feeling the love and great memories of the era. Something to treasure only when you are alone and free to explore and express your thoughts and feelings about being young.
I’ve forever had a love/hate relationship with this song. It was my girlfriend’s favorite song. She took her life oct 16,1994, two weeks after this recording. So I’ve always tried to analyze the meaning , and it’s always going to be associated with her memory. So hauntingly profoundly beautiful….
yes keep her loving memory. I sometimes don't see how anyone can live in this cursed world. Some people get so far out we don't get to them in time to help them
@@deactiv4827 C. Moore can describe what he means but silk when drawn, by drawn, that would mean how the silk is unrolled or pulled from typically a bolt, which makes a distinctive sound. Usually, a slight raspy or whispery (?) sound, which is distinctive only to silk.
I want to hold the hand inside you I want to take the breath that's true I look to you, and I see nothing I look to you to see the truth You live your life, you go in shadows You'll come apart, and you'll go black Some kind of night into your darkness Colors your eyes with what's not there Fade into you Strange you never knew Fade into you I think it's strange you never knew A stranger's light comes on slowly A stranger's heart without a home You put your hands into your head And then smiles cover your heart Fade into you Strange you never knew Fade into you I think it's strange you never knew Fade into you Strange you never knew Fade into you I think it's strange you never knew I think it's strange you never knew Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Hope Sandoval / David Roback
It's so touching and sad realizing this timeless piece will be 30 years old soon, reading all these comments where people got a special bond due to this song and some of them are not here anymore, it makes you realize how short this life is. We are trapped rushing behind useless goals and illusions as time flies when all we should really do is enjoying the very moment with our loved ones. Peace and love to you all.
@@mlizmac Peace and loe to you both & anyone else that sees this. What @KLETwave said is so true. Life is fleeting, albeit excrutiatingly slow when we're suffering, overall it does pass by in an instant looking back at the last 30 years, it's so hard to think of time as it is. It's timeless, yet it never is.
Holy SHIT this is amazing.... How the hell have I never heard of this band before today.... One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Definately gonna check out the rest they released.
The 90s was the last real renaissance for music. In many ways it was like the 60s all over again. Nobody knew it then but we can all see it clearly now.
@@christurner8255 I think a lot of it had to do with Gen X. That generation grew up in the 70s and 80s and lived through a real threat of nuclear war, the Cold War, and a rapidly changing culture. They had real shit to write about to be completely frank. The millennial and gen Z generation just didn’t by contrast in my opinion, not to the same degree that X had. I think that’s a major contributing factor anyway.
@@rogermoreno1152 there is a lot of very good and a lot of very bad stuff from each and every generation. Maybe the newer zeitgeist doesn't quite fulfill your desires, but discrediting an entire generations experiences and their art is as close minded as it can get. You'll have a lot more to love if you keep yourself open to it. But maybe my opinion counting for something is also dependent on my age.
@@omegalul9629when it comes to music, I’ll stick to my guns on that statement. I’m a huge proponent of the grunge/Seattle sound from the early 90s and I still believe it was the last great rock and roll renaissance. Not to say that some great artists haven’t come afterwards, they have, there are some, but there hasn’t been a *movement* like the grunge scene ever since. I can’t imagine Gen Z and especially Gen Alpha, who will have grown up not knowing a world before the internet, will have anything to really write about. Their songs will be about internet culture I guess 🤷🏻♂️
RIP to David Roback on acoustic guitar, the composer and mastermind behind Mazzy Star, Opal, and Rainy Day, and co-founder of paisley underground pioneers Rain Parade. Such a visionary! He will truly be missed.
Beautiful. I'm having a tough day , i always go back to the 90s! I was 13 this year but i was already into a lot of music. I was trading grateful dead tapes on top of listening to the mainstream stuff , music helped me grow up in the best ways. I wish I could go back
It's funny, I think about that all the time. The closest I came was in '94 or '95 when I saw Radiohead open for REM (Pablo Honey and Monster tours respectively). This was a Deer Creek music center north of Indianapolis, a beautiful half-outside auditorium. I sat there watching this incredible show, 14 years old, and I knew it was an incredible moment, that this period of time was unique and had a sense it would all go downhill from here. And I'd never be able to get it back. I've always been a bit of a pessimist, which I own totally. It makes you appreciate the moments of joy instead of hoping for even better ones.
@@MultiBunnyhunter : Agreed. It was definitely no Cardi-B or Megan Da Stallion freak show. Their audience needs condoms & HIV anti-virals passed out after that show!😂🤣👍🏻
Hope is just so talented; a beautiful voice (and a beautiful woman as well). I could listen to her sing all day. Mazzy Star is one of my all time favorite bands.
Beth Gibbons... see alsoThis Mortal Coil : Song to the Siren and/or Cocteau Twins: Pur both have a very same effect on me Beth Orton, and Regina Spektor can make me cry out of nowhere too... they all pull the pain to the surface and lets me see it from beside myself, entranced by the beauty and power/vulnerability of their voices.. They all should be called doctors!
This makes me think of all the memories of past loves i had and past interests that could have been but sadly never happened... An echo in time that will only be known to me.
Thinking about my girlfriend/best friend that passed away at 27 less than 6 months ago, a day before my birthday. I'm still absolutely devastated over her loss, and this song makes me think of her. Such a talented, smart, sweet, kind, loving, caring and stunningly beautiful woman. Forever in my broken heart... Fly high, Fallon Walsh 💜 May 17th 1995 - July 5th 2022
Absolute chills. Her voice just transports me back to my junior year of high school, dead of winter, parked in my 1990 Nissan Maxima, watching the ❄️ snow fall, the windows fog up and memories that surface with an inexplicable vivid clarity.
Dedicate this song to myself, hope your still here next year and everything will be ok just know you'l look back at this and realize it's all part of life we all go through
@@meciahpowell9025 Thank you so much for your kind words, in return I'll refer you to this awesome song I came across recently called The lonely example by Grazer hope you like 👍
I come back to this song all the time, reading all the comments as it plays. There is something so comforting about shared experiences through music. Maybe this world isn’t half bad after all.
She wrote it as love song, but it resonates to us as someone we know who needs our help but won't allow us to help. Like depression, or someone who is afraid to be themselves. A lot of people. A lot.
I was about 17 when this came out. I’m now 45. Just reminds me of time that’s passed by and all the memories that are just that now. Memories in the dust. Some great people people lost along the way.
No matter how long it’s been or how many times I watch this video. Everything about it is perfect and brings me back. Mazzie is so vulnerable and empowered at the same time, from the first moment I saw it to the last time I will I think I’ll be in love with her.
My mom once told me how this song played as her airplane left the runway, and it was that plane ride that led her to the boy that would later become my father. It was the 4th of July 1994, and fireworks erupted across the LA basin as the plane carried her family to a foreign land. This song literally led to my existence.
I've never heard a song that is so understated, so sparse.... yet so intense. She has the energy of someone belting out a ballad, but it's reserved and still just as powerful.
@Matthew Lawson Holy shit! What’s up my name twin! Man most people just don’t appreciate the struggle of having this name and being incredibly handsome as a result but I know you get it. Keep up the good fight Matthew Lawson!
@@mattlawson714 this is too funny! 😂 and since no one else commented (except for the other guy who has the same name as you, of course) I’ll go ahead & join in the conversation with you guys by saying that I agree with what you said about this being so powerful! I’ve always loved this song but I’d never seen this video before & was absolutely amazed by the way she was able to generate as much power & strength as she did while also conveying this songs soft & delicate energy. Since it kind of seems like she’s already a very quiet & gentle spirit this song was the perfect match for her & I think that’s what made her performance as compelling as it was because she was able to authentically deliver the tender message within this song & she did this beautifully 😊
@Well Wishes I guess I always thought this song was kind of a sad song about someone being in love with a person who wasn’t aware of it or maybe incapable of loving them back possibly..but that’s just what I took from it, I’m curious to hear what you think it’s about
Hauntingly beautiful, simple, vulnerable... the beauty of this song is no matter when you hear it for the first time, its purity moves you and it secures its spot on your list of all time favorite songs (and only later do you discover that it's actually a timeless classic, adored by millions) - that's the power of this song.
This is one of the most incredible performances. I cant explain why, but it is. I think it captures a raw innocense that puts a chill down your spine...
I hate seeing life revolve around me while I live life without direction. Hearing this song reminds me of my innocence, being a kid, dreaming of growing up and the sweet taste of froot loops in the morning while watching cartoons. Sad how fast time flies
@Franz Fanon just because you're not fond of your childhood or just childhood in general doesn't mean you have to shit on other people because of it. The negativity is not wanted or needed.
I love this. It’s a version so many will be able to connect to forever. Thank you for sharing your talent, your vulnerability, your pain and your love .
I remember listening to this first time with my friends at the end of an all night drinking party at my parents house (parents away, we were 14. ). We all felt it so much and hugged as we listened to the beauty our friend had just introduced us to. I never had such an amazing, deep, varied, unpretentious, fun, emotionally tuned bunch of friends ever again in my life and that makes me sad because I assumed they’d be forever. At least I have the memories now
thing is when young, we hadn't lived enough life yet to know how unique those friendships would one day be to us , never to be repeated. We grow up only once. In youth we are untethered souls, open, flexible, with an unlived fuiture.
Nostalgia. It's Greek for the pain we get from a desire to return to an emotional home: it's what we suffer when we realize there was a place in the past where we were most at home. This is your place.
