![]() She Hangs Brightly (1991) [ larger cover art ] |
I fell asleep in the silence
Before the street fights the fire
Free in the world that you've given
Lay in the sound
The water still calls
Still calls
Afraid of the dark that surrounds me
Hide in the dirt of the ground
Free in the wind that surrounds me
I'm not afraid to sleep in the night
Not afraid
To sleep in the night
Free like a bird of the holders
Holding the wake of the sun
I know the road that you send me
I know the way it leads to home
Real like the bones in my body
Real like the flesh that covers the grave
It's real
Like the flesh
That covers
The grave
Wait for the gaurds that you send me
Before I'll show myself
Wait for the storm
That comes to me
Maybe I'll just change my mind
Plea for the will of forgiveness
I'm not afraid to say I was wrong
I was wrong
Maybe I won't
So long
So long

| westslope (BC coast) | Posted: Sep 02, 2010 - 20:50 This is how I always imagined the Beat Generation doing country. |

This one is almost painful to listen to, or at least is is to me. Others may love it, but not my cuppa Oolong for sure. |

| Steve (In The Shadow Of The Superstition Mountains) | Posted: Aug 19, 2009 - 11:48 This (and a lot of their work) should go on an album titled "Songs for Suicide" |

| Stefen (West Hollywood, CA) | Posted: Jul 18, 2009 - 21:14 ![]() Mazzy Star is a band. The lead singer pictured here is Hope Sandoval, with David Roback. |
| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Jul 18, 2009 - 21:10 This song is soooo good for the ears... |

| RobK (Encinitas, CA) | Posted: May 16, 2009 - 07:48 This was such a good debut album. I was a big fan of this band during the 90's and still like listening to all of their albums. Several RP listeners aren't quite getting it, I see. Strange, I got it on first listen back in the day.

Couldn't resist replying to this one because it is a long-standing pet peeve of mine. Mazzy Star isn't a girl. Those aren't "studio musicians" backing her. Mazzy Star were a band. I know, I should get over it already ;) |
| rtrudeau (Bay Area, California) | Posted: Feb 10, 2009 - 14:32 She sounds like she's singing from the bottom of the garbage can. This is horrible. |
| kaybee (Lost in the Wilds of Toronto) | Posted: Dec 09, 2008 - 15:25 She sounds a bit like a bored Neko Case on an off day. |
| rvontha (Erie, PA) | Posted: Dec 09, 2008 - 08:08 I gots to get me some Mazzy Star. I always like what Bill plays from them. |

| holborne (New York, NY) | Posted: Sep 05, 2008 - 14:47 I don't get it. |
| steve_san_carlos (Ummm...San Carlos, California!) | Posted: Jul 04, 2008 - 09:47 Annoying dirge-like crap. It's July 4th. On this one day, can we possibly hear a bit more upbeat and positive music? Mind you I'm not asking for Christian rock or anything, but a bit less of the wrist-slitting tunes would be nice. |
| davin (Victoria, British Columbia) | Posted: Jul 04, 2008 - 09:45 I like distant sounding vocals and reverb to boot. This is a cool sonic space - almost like looking at a hallway scene through an old black and white television. When the organ comes in and it's all warm and close sounding, it's as if the scene has changed to blue-ray, or you're actually there. I am different and have rated it as 7/10 for now. Take that all you 6ers. |

I'm sure someone will want to shake it up. |

| cvandoren (Albany, NY) | Posted: Jun 02, 2008 - 21:17 Can barely hear the vocals. They sound distant. |
