I want to take a 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 blind
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
Fair enough, I'm trying to cut back on my complaining lately, but I would argue that hearing a more diverse selection rather than the same old song 5-10 times a month is what broadens a listener's horizons.
OK, enough about yourself, tell us about the song
LOL

where is she looking, at her shoes?
Close, she's looking into her soul.

"i think it's strange you never knew" reminds me of a line in PJH's song "you said something, that i've never forgotten."
well, i want to know what those things are.
Ever since this came out, the Mrs and I often use this as our jiggy-jiggy music. So sexy.
TMI:)

Sexyest voice on earth!

I'm knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door.
Same key as Tangled up in Blue that preceded this, A major,
Bill you are genius! Thank you!!
Do they have any other songs? Asking for a friend.
The other one is Five String Serenade -- also pretty good.
Bill you are genius! Thank you!!
and every other tine
We all gots ta choose a direction at the fork in the road...!
Nice! I never heard of them before. ...Thanx RP!
Welcome to the club! Requested this as a gift during the holidays just after it came out and it has given me years [decades] of pleasure since then. Hoping the same for you!
Of course, Welcome to the Club is a great Ian Hunter album! (And to continue this off-topic tangent, we saw Ian at the Roxy several years ago [but this century] and got to stand right next to the stage -- we could read the set list taped to the floor!)
My 10 deserves a caveat...
Its a 10 only based on my experience in seeing them live. They opened for the Cocteau Twins at old Massey Hall in Toronto many years ago and it was one of those Canadian winter nights. A total blizzard. Well, as one would expect the audience was arriving late. The hall was only half full as Mazzy Star took the stage and as they worked through their set the anger level was getting higher and higher. People weren't listening. They were taking off their coats and finding their seats and such. Finally we heard "eff this s*#@" and the band threw down their gear and stormed off the stage. The audience was quiet for a moment and then there was laughter and applause. Makes me chuckle to this day. I actually bought the album to remind me of this particular hissy fit. Thanks Bill for the morning laugh and thanks Mazzy Star for imagining that you were that important!
I'm not sure if any performer is ever truly "important", but for me, Mazzy Star (and Hope Sandoval in particular) are certainly very special, and the pleasure I derive from hearing pretty much any of their songs grants them discharge to throw the occasional hissy fit, in my book.
I wrote this damn comment 12 years again...and now its buried...consider this bumped friends...
Should I have some concept of who the Cocteau Twins are? 10 based on the fact this song is just so freakin amazing.

Am I the only one for all these years that thought Mazzy Star was the lead singer's name and not the band's?
Yes.
In fact the only beautiful song of an overall overrated record.
I don't think "in fact" means what you think it means.
SO DULL.
OK, enough about yourself, tell us about the song

Just...
![heart eyes](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/icon_hearteyes.gif)
Keep the beautiful selections coming!!!!
Hope's voice live is just as amazing as in this studio version.

Is that the "Belly Button Window" Hendrix wrote about?
I think it's strange you never knew...

Indeed I do! Thanks for replying :-)
And this brings me to a kind of shameful secret. I think I love music, but I'm not comfortable going to concerts.
Some of it may come down to my general bear-ish self, not liking crowds that much.
I think the main thing though is that being in a crowd that vibrates as one gives me ambiguous feelings. It's wonderful as a communion of sorts, and it also scares the crap out of me, like we could be made to do anything. Kind of like the Hamelin Pied Piper. Finally, another thought that makes me ill at ease is that we're able to commune on that level, feel the same things and get carried away at the same time, and yet, we're sadly unable (most of the time) to do this for things that matters perhaps more (saying no together to things that are wrong [I realise writing this that one of the issues may be that what's wrong is far from being a consensus :-)]).
And you're lucky to have found that special someone with whom you can share this :-)
You are a classic, high functioning, introvert - it is normal - I am one myself but then I have a bit more trust in my mind to not become overwhelmed. If that approaches, just leave. If not, there is something magical about being either on the sidelines or even closer to the center, to forget and become lifted for a few moments. You are smart enough to know when to leave and then, after the desorption, remember the best of it.

That's an interesting problem. I live in the middle of nowhere and so a lot of people who also live here have a similar distaste for crowds and events like concerts. I think I might have started out as one of them, but after years of practice, I'm able to go to shows by myself, which used to be impossible. But now even if I go with someone, I am alone... I just go into a zone if the music's any good.
I think.
He probably actually does know.
Funny thing is that she only brought 2 discs (Crime of the Century by Supertramp and Boston by Boston) - the rest of what she brought was an absolute LOVE of going to concerts, including tickets to see Eric Clapton with Robert Cray (among the dozens of shows we've seen) and that was special. And you can see now why she's The One!! LLRP!!

Man, you've got to tell us what the One brought in terms of CDs!
This definitely beats step or aerobics music ;-)

Thanks for playing it

That is beautiful imagery for this soundtrack
4000 + reviews with an average over 8. That's why it gets played. Maybe if you ranked songs more often you would hear more of what you prefer. Maybe when you've been on a little bit longer you'll be willing to broaden your horizons.
Oddly, that has been brought up several thousand times in this comment thread. §

This is one of the CDs my last girlfriend (before I finally found the ONE) brought to our relationship, and of course, with that laidback somewhat sultry voice and music, it was a favorite of ours to play during one of our favorite activities; based on those great memories, it still gets a 9 from me. PEACE and Long Live RP!!

No love for Into Dust or Unreflected?
yet when it is played it's always at the right time
perfection
"Mama take this badge off of me, I can't use it anymore..." had to bring it up one more time.

good morning Bill & crew & everyone
I agree but so far I don't mind
I don't mind either.
Got to Mazzy Star via Rain Parade and the so-called Paisley Underground bands (Green on Red, Long Ryders etc). Would be good to hear some of that on RP...
I agree but so far I don't mind
I genuinely love this distinction.
