You really had a million hearts to break
All those times I never left you in the moonlight
How come there's always someone else driving your car
Taking you different places, in the sunlight
Still cold like the stars
That's just the way you are
Still cold like the stars
You used to say your heart felt like a stone
Now everything you ever wanted is your own
Still cold like the stars
That's just the way you are
Still cold like the stars

The tamborine sounds fine to me and I find her singing style to be consistent the nature of the song (and not terribly off-key). I really wouldn't want to hear Ethel Merman belting out a song like this, regardless of her enthusiasm or pitch. |

| jmana | Posted: Nov 04, 2011 - 08:35 It's so interesting, I've never heard this song but knew it was Mazzy, and wondered if she came out with a new album! So I looked and it's from 1996, that's a very long time ago, and the song sounds as fresh as anything else on the radio! That's why I will always be a Mazzy Star fan! |

Never heard the song, but I'd like to hear it again if for no other reason than for that "outro"...incongruent in a pleasing sort of way. |
| mandolin (...drifting...) | Posted: Apr 29, 2011 - 09:45 ...these second two mazzy star albums were just masterworks, genuinely inspired timeless sincerity... |

| Sloggydog (UK) | Posted: Jan 27, 2009 - 11:04 I'm a fan and i like this song a lot but every time i hear Mazzy Star i just have to listen to fade into you right afterwards. But then its never a bad thing to be reminded to go back and play yourself a classic. |

Mazzy stopped the show and started complaining about the crowd being too loud. Someone shouted out "We love you Hope!" to which she replied: "I don't need you to love me. I need you to SHUT THE F**K UP!" Amazingly bizarre moment out of all the live shows I've worked/seen. Almost the whole crowd turned on her. She was very apologetic after the show and is a TOTAL SWEETHEART in person. Just an off night I guess. She apparently has been to too many Jonathan Richman shows and thinks this is the way to do it. |

Why merlot? If ya gonna top yer self why not a decent wine with a bit o' grunt like shiraz, grenache, petite verdot. Drinking one of those ya might even change ya mind! |
