![]() Among My Swan (1996) [ larger cover art ] |
And I knew I was close to you
And I will
Catch me flying in the sun
Catch me drinking of your wine
I'm gonna put something in you
Make the devil feel surprised
All your sisters wanna fly
Around my golden sky
Around my golden sky
Just because you feel, hollow inside it's real
Just because you feel, hollow inside it's real
I'm gonna put something in you
Make the devil feel surprised
Make the devil feel surprised
And I knew I was close to you
And I knew
Catch me flying in the sun
Catch me drinking of your wine

| Rachoh (Boston) | Posted: Jan 30, 2013 - 12:39 This was one of the songs that I would listen to at the tail-end of a relationship that was long long over — we were just hanging onto fumes. Listening to it now doesn't make me miss it at all but does oddly make me miss the way I used to feel then — like there was pleasure in the torture of a broken heart. Or maybe, fondness that I'm not broken after all. |

Until this song I'd have joined you in that minority. This is the first Mazzy Star song which isn't an automatic Ho-Hum, perhaps because Hope Sandeval actually sounds awake on this song and not as if she's just necked a bunch of downers and needs to go bye-byes. 7 from the Nottingham jury. |

| Egrey (WASH, DC) | Posted: Nov 15, 2011 - 11:18 This is a great album (the band's best of their small catalogue). However, I think "I've Been Let Down" is a better introduction to this album. |

| SuzenJueL (Minneapolis) | Posted: Jan 06, 2009 - 18:05 i remember being compared to this performer many times....meanwhile time has passed and there's a bit more grit in my voice. i absolutely fall over everytime i hear Mazzye every time her voice , her lyrics.....that makes the song 100% no doubt, one of the most amazing performers! |

| Bleyfusz | Posted: Sep 02, 2008 - 11:53 The voice & style remind me of Kerstin Hersh - unluckily, for I grew tired of her. |
| ROSSinDETROIT (Detroit, more or less. By teh Zoo.) | Posted: Sep 02, 2008 - 11:52 Love this voice. Also see Hope Sandoval Bavarian Fruit Bread. Possibly even better than Mazzy Star. |

| PhdGeniusIsAPrik | Posted: Jun 19, 2007 - 23:35 Probably one of my desert island disks...very soothing, very calming. Good way to wind up the day. I don't know much about them, but I hope they/she will put out some more music someday. |

Interesting to see this post. Hearing this, my mind thought of 9/11 but the only reason I can think why is because the guitar reminds me of a peice of music played in Michael Moore's film, im not sure though, anyone else thought similar or maybe know for sure? |

Heroin is bad for you. I was a Mazzy Star fan back in the day. I saw Hope and the band a few years back, and (at least at the time) she was beautiful yet so ghostlike & detached that it detracted from her intrigue--- and caused me concern for her mental/physical health. :( |

I can only imagine what that must have been like. This is a fantastic song. |

by "her' do you mean 'their'? It is a band, not someone named "Mazzy" and obviously you haven't heard much by them if you think it is all the same. |
