If psychedelic music had a voice in '90s post-punk, Mazzy Star may have been its strongest reincarnation. That doesn't necessarily mean that fans of the Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead will find the band to their liking, however. Mazzy Star much prefered the dark side of psychedelia, as exemplified by the most distended tracks of the Doors and the Velvet Underground. Their fuzzy guitar workouts and plaintive folky compositions are often suffused in a dissociative ennui that is very much of the 1990s, however much their textures may recall the drug-induced states of vintage psychedelia. Although Mazzy Star was nominally a full band, they were basically the core duo of guitarist David Roback and singer Hope Sandoval with backing musicians. Roback boasts a long history in the paisley underground, with the Rain Parade and Opal. He came across Sandoval after hearing a tape she had made as part of a folky duo, Going Home. (The Going Home album that Roback subsequently produced remains unissued.) Sandoval ended up replacing Kendra Smith on Opal's final tours. After Opal dissolved, Roback and Sandoval continued to work together as Mazzy Star, and released their first album for Rough Trade, She Hangs Brightly, in 1990. Rough Trade's U.S. branch went under shortly afterwards, but luckily Mazzy Star were picked up by Capitol, who kept the debut in print and issued their follow-up, 1993's So Tonight That I Might See. There isn't much to differentiate the two albums, though that's not necessarily a criticism. Both share similar strengths and weaknesses: appealingly dreamy and atmospheric arrangements, rambling distorted guitar workouts, and lyrics that mix the haunting and the meaninglessly vague. Tonight That I Might See had been around for about a year before it suddenly got hot, reaching the Top 40, and spinning off a small hit single, "Fade Into You." Even in the wake of this surprise success, Roback and Sandoval remained as enigmatic and aloof as their music, rarely submitting to interviews, and offering mysterious, unhelpful replies when journalists did manage to talk with them.

She Hangs Brightly
Halah Well I think I see another side Maybe just another light that shines And I look over now through the door And I still belong to no one else Maybe I hold you to blame for all the reasons that you left. And close my eyes 'till I see your surprise And you're leaving before my time. Baby won't you change your mind? Surely don't stay long I'm missing you now. It's like I told you I'm over you somehow Before I close the door I need to hear you say goodbye. Baby won't you change your mind? I guess that hasn't changed someone Maybe nobody else could understand I guess that you believe you are a woman And that I am someone else's man But just before I see that you leave I want you to hold on to things that you said Baby I wish I were dead. Surely don't stay long I'm missing you now. It's like I told you I'm over you somehow Before I close the door I need to hear you say goodbye Baby won't you change your mind? Blue Flower Waitin' for a sign from you, Waitin' for a signal to change Have you forgotten what your love can do? Is this the end? Walkin' through the city Your boots are high-heeled and are shinin' bright The sun was sparklin' on the shaft of your knife Flower in the morning rain, Dying in my hand Was it all in vain?, Superstar in your own private movie I wanted just a minor part, But I'm no fool I know you're cool, I never really wanted your heart Your feet rough heat Nothing seems to bring you down It's not that cool when I'm around Flower in the morning rain Dying in my hand Was it all in vain? Superstar in your own bright movie I wanted just a minor part But I'm no fool I know you're cool I never really wanted your heart Ride it on Ride it on baby, Into my view Ride it on baby, Into your side Ride it on baby Just like you used to do Did you want me to love you, well, I'm just here for the call And you said that you're so low, well, I won't really do you any harm Won't you ride it on baby, Just like you used to do There's no love that you're over feeling And you still want to be with me But you're leaving like you said that you would I'm waiting for the call And you love like you always say now But you know it won't do you any harm Ride it on baby, Just like you said that you would Oh then ride it on baby, Just like you know it's understood Ride it on baby, It's still into your view Ride it on baby, I only want to be with you I'm dreaming that you're going far, And you lie, take and whine Won't you ride it on baby, But you're so heavy for the price Ride it on baby, Just like you said that you would She hangs brightly She hangs brightly from the tree Wonders what she's done to me I'm aware of your game Come and watch me Watch me come down Takes me down deep and wide Pulls me through to the other side She's the winner of her game Come and watch her Watch her come down It stays down Sour in truth Lies of lovin' The story's cheap She's the winner of her game Come and watch her Watch her come down Deep and wide Inside, inside, inside I'm sailin I'm sailin' sailin', Place I've never seen That's way down south, Sweet 'ol New Orleans 'Cause my hometown friend treat me awful mean If I could holler, Yeah holler If I could scream and cry, It hurts me so When I look up in the sky, 'Cause my friends turn their heads, As they pass me by Now it's rainin', It's rainin' The wind's blowin' cold, Lord I thought I heard My train whistle blow, Now I'm gonna sail so far 'Till I won't be back no more Pardon me, pardon me, It's so hard to stand I ain't got no money, Uncle Sam has called my name Now there's not a soul, To give me a helpin' hand Give you my lovin Give you my lovin', Seven days a week I'll be a honey, If you'll be sweet I know I'm the only one for you I know that you think this is not true Man says it's rainin', Rainin' outside I'll be out there in a little while, Cause you see Rain reminds me of you, And everything has turned to you See you in places, I'm following you You'll be upstairs, And I'll be there too Everywhere you go I will follow I know it won't be the same tomorrow People give me warnings, Stay away from you They say you'll hurt me, I don't think that's true Discomfort arouses when I speak of you As if you've been sayin' something bad About me When I see you, I want to kiss you But I know that ain't right So I ask if I can hold you Oh babe I need you so bad Oh babe I only want to make you Glad Be my angel They say it's me, That makes you do things You might not have done, If I was away And that's it's me, That likes to talk to you And watches you, As you walk away Don't say it's useless, Don't say forget it Don't bring me wishes, Of silly dreams Just say it's all, From too much freedom Too many fingers, And to anything They say it's you, That washes the weary And brings the night into the day If you won't notice, How can I show you All of you worries, Have all gone away Don't leave me lonely, Don't leave me unhappy Just bring me up into your fate If you don't need me, Then don't deceive me Letting my freedom turn into stone Just be my angel, If you love me Be my angel, In the night Be my angel, 'Cause you need me Be my angel, And treat me right Don't say you love me, If you don't need me Don't send me roses, On your behalf Just take me down, And walk through your river Down the middle, And make it last Holding on to you, Holding on to me Holding on tight, 'Till my love is crossed Don't say it's useless, And don't say forget it You are my spirit, Now you are gone Taste of blood Red oh red, The taste of blood On lips of wine Red so silent, Wait a minute Or just a little while What are you looking for, The taste of red, The taste of fear From your seemingly convincing smile Red oh red, The taste of blood On lips of wine The time is waiting maybe Takes away from your demise From your demise Say you're slippin' Maybe so It's not easy Now you know Ghost highway You're a ghost on the highway, And I'll love you forever Ghost on the highway And I'll love you forever Forever and ever And ever and ever Your eyes are an island And I'll own them forever Your eyes are an island And I'll love them forever Forever and ever And ever and ever You're a ghost on the highway And I'll love you forever Ghost on the highway And I'll love you forever Forever and ever And ever and ever Free 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 guards 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 Before I sleep If it's The truth That's all I know I look for you And just say I know The lie That was Is now The last I'll go For you Before I sleep I hear you say You say I stay Near the edge And waste my time Just waste my time
So Tonight That I Might See Fade into you I want to hold the hand inside you 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 black 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

I ain't to be nothing?? .... I miss your smile I kiss your face I'll tell you good-bye But it's a shame We went driving in your car And you took me by the hand Now I don't know just where you are I wanna know ?? my chance I miss your smile I kiss your face I'll wish you alive But it's a shame It's a shame
Let that be ( Unreleased ) I don't care if you're leavin' on the train I think all of your music's done in vain And I don't care about the girls that you lay I'm not the one who sees you anyway You came to that If I can set you free Let that be Won't you let that be I don't care if you're going home I think all of your music's done all wrong And I don't care if you live in misery Things apparent are the things you just can't see You came to that If I can set you free Let that be Won't you let that be
Now that you're gone ( Live track )
When you were down I was around But don't you call Out my name Because you know it ain't the same Anymore Anymore When you were young I was around But I wouldn't listen to you 'Cause you're driving me wrong?? But you know it ain't the same Anymore Anymore Because when you're young and so in love So in love inside But even though i tell you this now I really, really don't care No I don't care No I don't care When you were young I was always around But I wouldn't listen to you 'Cause you're driving me wrong?? But if you hear me i guess you know What I think??

Tell me now ( Batman Forever Soundtrack ) Three days of spirits Tell me now I'm here like a spell That's bearing me to drive Tell me now That there are three days in a week Tell me now To make it so Make it so I can't speak Make it so I can't speak Well I'm here like a spell That's bearing me to drive Eyes of blue Sea of red Take me to Where I've never been dead Where I've never been dead Hey, it's between myself and me It's a very lonely place Between myself It's lonely Between myself It's a lonely Place Crimson red Yourself Back up to me
Tell your honey
( Flowers in December EP ) Tell your honey Living all alone ? I guess i'll always be I guess i fear Go and tell your honey Can help from what i've seen I don't feel true Do you anyway I can see you sometimes And then i just don't care She loves (loathes?) me She loves (loathes?) me I don't think i could ever see Tell me that you're near So free that i'm leaving you behind Don't plan to let you say you're sorry Indeed so Or maybe you'll be high Be high X3 Shiver in a bath I feel nice And see the light Under My Car ( Fade Into You CD single ) Saw you layin' under my car, but you took it too far Don't you know Held your hand, well I knew you slipped away Watched your eyes, turn to grey, in mine But you're still lingering I see it somehow You know what I mean, don't you Don't you Say what you mean I've said it so well Me and my own I still, but you're damned My eyes are crying, as you slip from my view I guess you know it, I feel for you Yes I do Saw you layin under my car, but you took it too far Don't you know Held your hand, as you, slipped away Watched your eyes turn to grey tonight Me, I'm alone I'm just driving away, from the side of you laying in death Goodbye before I cry I know you feel for me too And I do But it's the end Goodbye my friend
Where did you run to ( Live track )
Looking for something .... Trying to be something good, trying to be something Looking through the world with those big black eyes Where did you run to, baby? Where did you hide? All around i see great big falling stars People outside the windows in great big jars ??? close my eyes Those are my eyes you walk with That I can't see Being a king I guess it's all fine and well You're the star i guess it's just as well Even when i have something to do with this world ???baby Haven't found a place for you .... When you die you ain't gonna have any place to go Your brand new sports car not one day run you down Did you ever face the facts?
