Lost my daughter going on to four years ago and a great part of my therapy is compiling playlists of those groups which I just know she would have loved. Mazzy Star is one such group and this song is on the playlist. I'm quite sure she's listening from her spot in the Cosmos. Thank you, Mazzy Star.
This was one of my brother's favorite song.. March 11 1976- December 13 2015.. We played it at his memorial yesterday.. not a single dry eye in the room. I miss you Josh.
+Harrison Metzler Damn Harrison that sucks. I too want Mazzy Star played at my funeral. This song, Look Down From the Bridge, All Your Sisters etc. So many to chose from. R.I.P. Josh
I heard this on another show (Babylon - a British Police Drama) where the main character commits murder after having an affair ;( My heart instantly split in two when he jumped
Murillo I remember watching that episode and thinking it was Chase then seeing Cameron crying, was just thinking to myself wow, plot twist. Loved how her character evolved from season 1-6, even if she left half way through no.6 she def was one of my favs. Loved her banter with House.
I align with this song. Feeling lost again and out of touch. This song takes me like I'm sitting into a deep soft chair and allow life happen with out me. I can see in my soft chair how life is interacting with out me.
This song reminds me of the remnants of a beautiful dream that you try so desperatly to remember when you wake up but cant.. and it only haunts your soul while it fades from your mind as the day goes on.. you want to hold onto it but it leaves you in the end.
I was working on a jobsite one time, framing a house.....an angelic little voice was singing (we were framing a house on a lake, so it was a lot of forest and nature around). I looked around and it was surreal, in a way. it was just this little girl, minding her own business and picking wildflowers in the trees. she voice was beautiful and she was just singing about her emotions and things that happened in her life recently. it was almost mystical....hypnotizing. it was the carefree way she sang....yet with such true emotion. it was refreshing to hear. I forgot all about it...until I heard this song and saw your post.
There's something euphoric about relishing in the melancholia that is life. After such a long time the darkness is all you know. So you learn to accept it. Take it in. Let the pain take you over, because pain is the only thing that's real and the only thing you can feel.
No. DON'T relish it or accept it. Accept it as a part of life maybe, but, never turn that far to it. If it's all that you know, try to change what you know. May you and others who feel that way come out of that. (i've been there)
Once in a while, something truly beautiful comes along; something so gorgeous, it's like the gentle caress of soft lips against skin . . . the slow seeping of honey into the bones . . . the fist that clenches your heart. This song is all of that and more. It takes my breath away.
Heard this song for the first time by chance back in 2017 right after suffering the lost of a very dear loved one. Its only looking back on it 7 yrs later now that i fully grasp how much this song played a role in helping me cope with the wave of grief i experienced at that time. Even now hearing those first few chords sends me right back to that cold December night😢
This beautiful, haunting song makes me cry. it was playing when my twin sons left home, leaving me completely alone. I used to think I would love having my place back, but when reality set in, the ache in my soul was palpable. Whenever I hear this song I cry - three years later. Good music has the power to wash you over in nostalgia. Powerful stuff.
This is a song that I had in my head constantly in 1994, when I was 18 and in love for the first time. It was one of the most important years of my life. This song, and Juliana Hatfield's "Only Everything" in 1995. It isn't about all sadness, it is a complicated love song, up, down, happy, sad, love, hate, joy, sadness.
Well, I didn't end up here through any kind of media. A very dear friend, whose influence molded me as a young'n, showed me this song when I was but a lonely 13-year-old. Now I'm struggling through graduate school, and this song is still by my side. In these years, I stumbled upon Hope Sandoval on her own through other musicians, and upon a movie called Wicker Park that features Mazzy Star. Even though I never truly got into the band (just one album, and not a big fan either), this song will always have a place in my heart.
Still falling Breathless and on again Inside today Beside me today Around broken in two Till your eyes shed Into dust Like two strangers Turning into dust Till my hand shook With the way I fear I could possibly be fading Or have something more to gain I could feel myself growing colder I could feel myself under your fate Under your fate It was you Breathless and tall I could feel my eyes turning into dust And two strangers Turning into dust Turning into dust
It's in like 3 episodes that episode where she is drunk passed out, the over dose scene in TJ and her death scene all three scenes seem to have common factors Ryan carrying marissa as she's well not conscious all scenes are sad
The Domestic Terrorism and war crimes I'm subjected to have been forgotten each and every time I play your music. This is relief all I want to concentrate on is your voice. It's magic how it takes me away.
I'm always hearing people say that the best guitar music is the one thats the most difficult to play/fastest etc... But in reality, musical beauty can be as simple as anything. So long as it is just that, beautiful. This example shows that perfectly.
Quien no le tenga amor y nostalgia a esta canción es porque no se ha puesto nunca en la piel de la CGO. Canción que hizo que me enamorase tan solo de escucharla. Con un mísero trailer. Y luego hace que volviéndola a escuchar una y otra vez nunca deje de ponérseme la piel de gallina. Hermanos hasta el fin.
I think this is a song many people listen to, as i do, when they are really really down. If you are feeling that way, just know it WILL get better. (i'm telling myself as much as you)
ME TOO!!!!!!! I knew i recognized the voice possibly the song but its been such a long time. I love " fade into you" ... its a little over done though...
I was just out of the Coast Guard after a 5-year hitch when I heard this song. I had been stationed in Charleston, South Carolina in 1989 when Hurricane Hugo came through. The massive amount of damage was something you needed to see to believe, or have been through another hurricane. We pulled bodies out of the water from people who thought they just needed to go up the Ashley River to escape its wrath. They couldn't understand that Hugo was a force 5 hurricane and was still at hurricane strength when it hit Tennessee. I can still remember the smell that lingered for weeks if not months of drying seaweed and sewage. We worked for a long time after Hugo passed through cleaning up the waterways. That place was still a mess years later. Anyway, one one of my first days off, there was a girl there that playing a acoustic 12-string guitar who had a voice like Hope Sandoval about two weeks after Hugo. If people were listening to her play, they were not paying much attention. Honestly, I don't think she was playing for anyone else but herself and her voice was quiet and tired. I was tired after working all the time and I just sat and listened for a long time. She was playing some folk song. It wasn't Hope and I never spoke to her. Years later, when I heard this song, I remembered that girl and the slow rhythm of the strumming of the guitar strings. I bought the cassette with this song and played it with my headphones on and stared at the ceiling. Remembering.
I have listened to that song quite a few times and never noticed this thanks! I always find it interesting how music with dramatically different feelings can influence other artists to create their own music.
One the most beautifully haunting songs ever recorded. I will always remember when I first heard them in the early 90's, this track and that album always fills me with a melancholic nostalgia.
Just got this CD and every song on it is amazing. With this being my favorite song on it. And for now my favorite CD. Hope Sandoval is in a class of her own.
I don't care how any of you came to hear this song, just glad that you now know the awesomeness of Mazzy Star! :-) At the risk of giving away my age, I first heard this song in the early 90's, in Jr. High. Fuck, those were awesome times....
Heard this on a Charmed season 4 episode where Piper was in Prue's room, being all sad as she thought about her late sister, putting on Prue's jacket and necklace and it struck a chord with me. That scene was bittersweet and perfect to me. Never thought of looking the song up until now
Dont know if it's my constant state of panic and anxiety or my depression that I always seem to be fighting but stumbling on this song gives me a sense of peace that I haven't felt in a long time.
So fed up but all this "this episode brought me here" ...This music is out there standing on it's own. It does not need to be a wallpaper of any show. It is eternal and it's beauty will remain long after nobody remembers these shows "that brought you here"...
no need for negativity. people are just looking to relate and discussing what let them discover the song, there's nothing wrong with that... it doesn't imply they don't care about the song itself, obviously they do or they wouldn't have sought it out themselves
Warpspeed - Geez chill out will you? What's wrong with saying this or that brought me here? Well I'm going to add to that. I heard it on an old episode of House MD and if NOT for that episode of House, I would probably NEVER have heard of Mazzy Star or this great song.
Firefly is a TV show from the early 2000s, created by Joss Whedon. Only ran for half a season before being cancelled by FOX. A lot of the score is similar to the violin part at the end of this song...
it's sad that people had try find out about one of the greatest Shoegaze bands in the history of earth from some show I never heard of on HBO but I'll take it.
It's quite strange that almost every song I listen to on youtube is featured in a current tv show. "X brought me here" comments are everywhere, this would be actually OK, what bothers me though that none of them write anything about the song or the performer, the only thing that seems to count for them is the tv series. Music is regarded as a mere soundtrack nowadays, and not what this song in particular is: a great experience and high art.
Not Me! I have Always Loved Hopes voice & Mazzy Star when they first came out!!!! "Fade into you" was the Only song of there's That played on the radio ... Now that's Sad
father who never saw his son of 15 years. Finally fights off his own demons and goes to see him, only to learn the boy has committed suicide. He stands in the boys room, looking amongst his pictures, posters and the life he lost. Father is shattered and crumbling at the idea that he assumed he was saving the boy from him while his mere presence could have saved him. This plays as he contemplates within himself.
+B H Mch I'm sorry for your loss. I tried to reconnect this summer with my first true love, after finding out his mom had died a few years back. She was one of my favorite people in the world. When searching for him online, instead of finding a way to contact him, I found his obituary right beside his mom's. He died a year later, not from natural causes. The last time I spoke to him I was mad, really mad, and told him not to call me again. Would give anything to take that back. Wish I was there for him when he needed me. Wish he would have told me what was going on. Maybe I could have helped, maybe not, but at least I would have been there. RIP Geoff. Save me a beer, I'll see you again.
+Steven Wyatt Yep. Always be careful when making a decision to cut someone out of your life... you might not feel that way forever, and by the time you come around and want that person in your life again, they might be gone for good.
As for all the flames...A beautiful woman shared this song with me. They are a band I had never listened to before. Beautiful! A deep and heartfelt thanks to my friend, who brought this music to me and introduced me to this group. So, a comment (not to flame, but to appreciate) from a man who appreciates good music, and real women! Hope this will add a little refreshment to the thread. Just sayin'!
How about all you cranky folks that don't like when people reference where they heard songs do us all a favor: DONT read the comments section and save us all the drama of your bitterness. Should it bother you so that people recognize good music and maybe connect to a moment in their lives? Get over yourselves. Sheesh.
I'm sure gears of war or house don't need anymore advertisement.How about making the musician popular off of the musician's music? that's kind of why we're getting pissed anyway.Happens with stupid wrestling fans all the time.The undertaker uses one song on his stupid entrance video and after that song being on the shelf for like 10 or 15 years we have to listen to all this "20-0" crap.How about name dropping the artist and giving THEM the credit for once.
J Mark why does it matter how someone found the music? isn't it enough that a few seconds of the tune brought them in search of the artist? which was probably the idea in the first place
Mazzy Star on Tour. Just saw them in Toronto, both last night and in 1990 on thier first tour at the Horseshoe Tavern. You could hear a pin drop during this tune last night!
Ruthless. I remember thinking they are fucking ruthless. Where does it come from? This talent for ruthlessness. Seems so easy for them. For these men, for men like these. That's how they won I suppose. It isn't about being right or having the people or God on your side. It isn't anything that grandiose. In the end, victory goes to the hardest heart. To the ruthless go the spoils. Fifty-two kids will be brought to the Lawrence house after sunset. We will move in darkness. We can hide in the dark at least. We have a chance at least. If there is actually a Martha network. If this all isn't a trap set by the eyes, I will get the children to the airport. The plane leaves at midnight. Because I am ruthless. "Despiadados" me acuerdo pensando... "Tan despiadados" ¿De dónde surge este talento para la crueldad? Parece tan fácil para ellos, para estos hombres, para hombres así. Así ganaron, imagino. No se trata de tener razon, o tener la gente, o a dios de tu lado. Nada tan grandioso como eso. Al final la victoria va al corazón más duro, a los despiadados les queda el botín. 52 criaturas van a llegar a la casa Lawrence tras el crepúsculo. Nos vamos a mover en la oscuridad. Nos podemos esconder, aunque sea, en la oscuridad. Tenemos una chance, al menos. Si realmente hay una red de Martas. Si todo esto no es una trampa montada por los ojos, a la noche me voy a llevar las criaturas al aeropuerto. El avión sale a la medianoche. Porque soy despiadada.
I found this song by accident today after listening to another. I feel the need to listen more than once. The angel that'll comfort and sing to me as I lay sleeping.
I remember Mazzy from back in the day....but it wasn't long before I was obsessed with Nirvana. I have this album..... Hope Sandoval is a great artist...very beautiful and sometimes eerie/sweet voice ....very hypnotic.....
Don't know what it is about this song, but as I have just discovered this amazing group (better late than never), this is my favorite by Mazzy Star. Hope's singing is wonderful but almost impossible to describe in words and somehow I can definitely relate to the lyrics. LOVE this song.
