Just like that, she follows me
My wings are under her tree
She says one thing and that's just enough
It doesn't matter how much

Would I forget
Laying myself down
Just to regret
And that's all
Would I forget

I'll go away
I'll never know how far, how long
She keeps a diamond inside her door
She don't have a clue

Would I forget
Laying myself down
Just to regret
And that's all

Would I forget
Laying myself down
Just to regret
And that's all

And that's all
And that's all

Previously an 8,  now a 9 just for the pedal steel I didn't notice before.

I wonder how many people can name the band members who are not Hope Sandoval.  It's always occurred to me there's no better way to slip into anonymity in the music world than have an attractive, talented singer leading your band.

Had to check the comments for misogynistic drivel BillG mentioned in his intro.

Ahhhhh...Hope Sandoval.  Had the biggest boyhood crush on her when I saw Mazzy Star live in San Francisco waaaaay back when.

I feel like she's a female equivalent of Syd Barrett; her breathy, oddly synched delivery, her ebb and flow of energy, fantastic imagery...

I was enjoying it until I started to fixate on the tambourine . . . dang.

Personally, I always thought Hope Sandoval sounded like a more subtle Maria McKee (Lone Justice).
But that's what I hear.......

I like this stuff a lot; their strumming and languid vocal stylings sometimes have a stoned rhythmic weirdness approaching Syd Barrett!

Mazzy Star - the very definition of Ho-Hum. This woman always sounds like she's stoned out of her gourd, and has the vocal range of an orang-utan with laryngitis. Aural Valium great for early-morning insomniac FM radio but deadly during the work day {#Sleep}

 

... I work the other side of the fence finding Mazzy's "aural valium" the best prescription placebo for my seemingly endless melancholic mood. Insert Margo Timmins here also.

Mazzy Star is well-represented in my Chill Set playlist, to which I fall asleep every night. Sometimes I'm out by the second (random) song and sometimes not after the entire set (1.5 hours); if the latter, I get up and read a book whilst sipping some cognac on ice, which generally does the trick. Point is, Mazzy Star is definitely a big part of my day whether I fully comprehend or not! Very peaceful…

I guess we could say that about a whole LOT of bands, eh? The trick is to do those "3 chords" well. ;)

 
Yeah, that "3-chord" criticism has been clumsily splashed over rock 'n' roll since its birth (often by non-musicians), anyhow, this tune sounds like it has four chords.  The denigration of this band for being too mellow or sleep-inducing is also sort of odd; that's their desired style; it's not like they were trying to do a tarantella or a death/speed metal tune and lost their way.  Yes, their music is of that mellow, dreamy genre, which is obviously not for everyone, but it's not a shortcoming of the band.  I like some of their material but some of it doesn't do much for me, but it's not because of its beats-per-minute rate being too low.

No offense to the Cowboy Junkies, but Mazzy Star (Hope Sandoval) has just as much credibility in this genre.

I highly recommend the album - it's excellent overall. The sound quality is quite impressive too.

Lucky for you...I think when we say "country music" we pretty much need to recognize that Garth Brooks and artists like him are what most people mean.  I literally cannot listen to any station that plays country, rap, or heavy metal.  I can listen to top 40 and traditional/ alt rock stations, it is not great but not near as bad as folks make it out to be here.

I guess I'm a bit behind. This is the first time I'm hearing this and I just realized it's from a 2013 album. I'm glad to hear they have something new out. I'll have to listen to more tracks.

The steel guitar saves this one. I like her, but she sounds like she's singing in her sleep. Curious to hear other songs from this new one.

One of my favorite bands but pale in comparison to their earlier material.
Love to hear some of Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions on here.
