Unreal. I listened to Mazzy Star for years, and never wondered what the band looked like. No photos on any of the albums that I saw. Their music just blew me away so much I never stopped to think of them as anything but pure music.
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 everyman goes blind in his heart And they say everybody steals somebody's heart away And I 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 everyman 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
Everyone talks about Hope...rightfully so..but Dave. Roback was equally as important in my opinion...they were an incredible team...soft words and amazing guitar sounds To finish her thoughts...one cannot go without the other for me...rip Dave
You make a great point Sean. Dave was crucial to MS. I guess the reason we all focus on hope is because the integration of his guitar is so smooth and flawless it sort of becomes one sound and so many of us MS fans are just hearing the voice and guitar flow as one. He was definitely crucial to MS
@@lechanneldemysterieuxmante1807 With a great band there is a sort of alchemy at work, something that is impossible to predict or replicate. This is why when so many musicians go out on their own because they front a band - or become the poster boy or girl for a band - its just not the same and they are never as successful afterward. There is generally a crucial relationship between two members of a band that seems to be central to their ethos and sound, but in other cases its three or even four that make the mix. Sometimes its a sort of interpersonal turbulence that makes a band what it is, which is why they don't last. (Like the great quote from The Third Man about Switzerland and Italy in the Renaissance) With Mazzy Star, it was the interaction between Dave Roback and Hope Sandoval, the moody lyrics, Hope's mesmerizing, almost hypnotic singing was ideally matched by Roback's fuzzy guitar work. Either one of them without the other was just not the same. But how many bands maintain a great creative pitch over more than two or three albums anyway? Perhaps in the end we are fortunate in that they didn't try to go on and on or to try to commercialize their sound as the label wanted. Better to leave us with some unforgettable music that I believe sounds as good as it did thirty years ago. I first saw them (I think) at a small club in Hollywood with a musician friend visiting from London, not one of the clubs on the strip, but a club closer to Fairfax. The lights were low (as Hope preferred) and she never made any eye contact with the smallish crowd, but the songs were wonderful and her performance seemed to be more powerful because of the introspective, trance-like state she seemed to be in when she sang.
Love her voice. It is so calming and makes you listen to every word she sings. People have no choice but to just listen. Just like a child listening to a lullaby.
We used to eat acid in the 90s and go out walking around all night. The next morning we would listen to Mazzy Star and rehash the last night. The perfect music to reflect.
I absolutely love her and the band but listening to her makes me want to cry ! There is something so "real" and profound about it that it for me reminds me of the ultimate sadness of life ... Bums here we go again ..
Yes today’s crap that’s augmented by autotune, programmed to the same sounds as each other, and an escapade of half naked dancers. Because that’s what makes the most money and that’s all that matters today. Nobody today even deserves to stand in the same room as Hope.
Strange, how everyone here talks of Hope as if though she's no longer with us. She's still alive, kicking, singing, and is still as beautiful as her age has allowed her to be. Ageism is quite bizarre
Oof. The musical rabbit hole led me here tonight, during a time rife with emotional difficulties. This was challenging to listen to, but I'm grateful that I did.
One of my favorite singers dating back to the 90's..I go back to Melanie during my service days late 69 early 70's. Mazzy has wowed me like only Melanie could.
This Is The First Time I've listen to this young lady Mazzy Star,Her Beautiful Voice Will Take Away Like Somewhere Past Jupiter Somewhere, She Has Such A Very AWESOME Sound,❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was in Love with Hope Sandoval in the 90s, I still am but I was back then too. and Roback, well, I doubt these songs would have happened with out him.
no phones, no auto tune, melody, the perfect time for those who like real music it was difficult to get your hands on songs but the mainstream was the good stuff the contrary of today
This is the unvarnished truth! It's amazing how great mainstream music in every genre was during this period! It was an awesome period for music lovers!
@@sandras2624 I agree with you. The "male groupie" comments are tacky and in poor taste. These guys need to listen to music with their ears instead of their genitals.
@Well Wishes It's a joke. It's referring to how many male fans of Mazzy Star have wanted to kiss Hope, and the harmonica used here got closer to her mouth than any of those men ever will.
3:03 few know the strength needed as a band, to power through a slow set at a daytime festival. They totally killed it, surrounded by comfy white-shirts.
