A VIBE!| FIRST TIME HEARING Mazzy Star - Fade Into You REACTION

[@toddthompson7478]

30 years later and this song still gives me goosebumps. Love Hope’s voice.

[@bbb462cid]

This was always the Last Song and if a guy wasn't paying attention to his girl when it came on he'd find me dancing with her to this. Got into a lot of trouble back then...worth every minute,

[@crbcyouthman]

So true!

[@twenty3enigma]

I've had a crush on Hope Sandoval ever since the 1st time I heard this.

If you haven’t, check out her solo work and her other band, the Warm Inventions.

[@dudeusmaximus6793]

I find this song amplifies your mood. It can make you feel in love, wanting to lounge by a camp fire, calm, happy, serene, like you are surfing at the edge of the galaxy, or make you bawl like a baby for things you never knew you lost.

[@jeanstrickland2445]

That’s a very beautiful way to describe it 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@georgedominguez255]

Exactly-so deep! I love music that touches the soul!☮️🌈

[@jenniferkasowicz9463]

I agree! I love this song because it can kinda mean anything you need it to mean. It’s really introspective, IMO. I’ve never really felt it as a love song, but cool!

[@sunnyday_lemonbars]

yes. thisss...

[@shanemwood]

Well stated and spot on.

[@torreyholmes7205]

"The Sundays" have a similar feel. Their cover of "Wild Horses" is great. Also "Here's where the story ends" or "Summertime'. Very much a vibe.

[@GoodStuffForeverMore]

Totally! Would love to hear some Sundays. I am a long time fan.

Hope has simply one of the most haunting voices ever. Everything she touches is automatically spiritual and deep.

[@StunThePuppy]

Hope Sandoval has an amazing voice. When Mazzy Star hit the mainstream, there was nothing else like them getting air play

[@martymar1964]

Agreed. She used to get a lot of shit because she had bad stage fright and would almost never move on stage and had the lighting obscure her, almost having her in darkness at live shows.

[@keithbate9405]

@@martymar1964 She had /has the worst stage fright I have seen in over 50 years of gig going. At a Mazzy Star gig in Birmingham (UK) around 1995 , she walked off stage after around 4 songs. She said "you are too demanding " very sad. Also others I have seen having issues with stage freight are Lana Del Rey (used to puff non stop on cigarettes ), Hannah Reid (London Grammar ) is physically sick before live gigs .Even Florence Welch suffers , which may surprise many . But Hope is the only one I have ever seen exit the stage very quickly after the start of the gig.

[@swingsloth]

The melancholy and angst of a generation in one beautiful song. The steel guitar makes it EVERYTHING.

[@emilycalimquim4851]

back in the 90s when i was 14-15, i visited my cousin in Long Beach (she was in college), and she took me to meet her boyfriend at the time. we ended up at this random house in LA. turned out her boyfriend's dad was the drummer in mazzy star. i was in total shock and could barely speak. i loved this song so much and the fact that i got to meet the drummer was too much for my young mind to handle. but i still remember that moment to this day!

[@holohulolo]

Did you get to meet Hope? Or even tell your cousin about it and see if it was possible for her to meet Hope or something?

This came out in 1993 when I was in high school… and had several slow dances to this at house parties in college. God, I miss the 90s ❤

I was just starting high school that year. What a great time for music.

[@akadros310]

Agreed, everyone always goes on about the 80s but to me the 90s was where it was at. I was a teenager in the 80s and I just always hated all the big hair and other things associated with it. But the 90s were so much more fun. Maybe it was because I just enjoyed my college years much more than my high school years

[@body_by_depuy]

I'm class of 94 and this was THE slow dance at our senior prom.

LILITH FAIR was everything in the 90s! Female artists really had a strong presence in the music scene. Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan, Alanis Morrissette, Liz Phair and so many more. You have *A LOT* to check out from the 90s!

Lilith Fair was Sarah McLachlan's baby, her way of proving that an all-female bill would work, and it did...I went to all 3 shows/years...was the logical sequel to the travelling Lollapalooza...I don't think Mazzy Star played any of the shows in NY as the lineup constantly changed...but I wish I did see them...they are a bit like Cowboy Junkies...

Gonna check it out! Fade into you is the only song I’ve had in my music collection by Mazzy Star.

[@Warchild1337]

They used that song in an episode of House. It nearly broke me how beautiful and sad it was.

[@yankeeblu]

FYI - Another artist with an ethereal voice is Natalie Merchant. She has an accomplished solo career and used to be the lead singer for a band called 10,000 maniacs.

One of those songs that defined 90's

[@FromG2eminor]

I agree!

[@sparkyth67]

the 90's sucked after the few holdovers from the 80's were gone music was basically dead. The alternative crap like this one and grunge killed rock music with the exception of a few here and there. Now they are even killing country music with this alternative country.

[@Adeus1]

@@sparkyth67 you're tripping. It's like saying the 80s killed disco music. Totally different genres and vibes. Don't get me wrong, I love 80's music! I am just saying there's such a thing as different generations of music.

[@suegreene7841]

I’m a 70’s gal so I never heard of this band or song but it’s haunting and beautiful. Thanks for introducing me to a new one you two!

[@kaydee63]

Probably one of the most played songs the year it came out. Hope Sandoval has a unique and beautiful voice that I have always found haunting. And as soon as I saw the song choice, I knew that Amber would be doing the "Amber Sway"

[@YehudaBerlinger]

Great group. "Into Dust" also a fantastic vibe. And anything by "The Sundays". The "vibe" is called "shoegazing", moody, acoustic guitar with minor chords and electronic. It is meant to be chillout music, head swinging, porch sitting music.

[@LA80sMike]

From my neck of the woods, East Los Angeles, proud that she broke through with this gem of a song, still good 30 yrs later…

[@nomisnestral6956]

I have seen Siouxsie, Tori, Bjork and Hope in concert and they all easily rank amongst the most unforgettable musical experiences one can get.

Tori Amos? "Losing My Religion" and "Butterfly" are masterpieces.

[@chriswhinery925]

I love this band so much. I saw them perform live at Coachella once, they played outdoors right as sunset was happening, it was 100% magical. One of my top ten concert experiences ever and I'd say Mazzy Star is a top 10 band of all time for me too.

I recall hearing Mazzy Star’s “Halah” song that was before this on Alternative Radio while driving. That’s one of only two times I pulled over and stated writing lyrics I could remember from the song. I had to know who did this song and who the singer was. Hope Sandoval is my favorite female singer along with Stevie Nicks.

Definitely some mood music. Mazzy Star and Cowboy Junkies were my go-to bands for just mellowing out and relaxing.

Love The Cowboy Junkies. Common Disaster is my fav

[@glenonoko4918]

I second the request for Cowboy Junkies and their fantastic singer Margo Timmins. They are Canadian and have sort of "Great Plains Goth" vibe. They have so many good songs over a 35-year career that its hard to suggest one to start with, but I'll suggest "Crescent Moon" or "Sun Comes Up, It's Tuesday Morning"

[@deanmaynard8256]

Mazzy Star!!! Now we're talking! Not called Dream Pop for nuthin'!

[@Shrykespeare]

Guys. You hit me hard with this one. This song, and Hope Sandoval's incredible voice, mesmerized me from the first time I heard it, and it still does three decades later. They were never HUGE as far as a live group goes, due to Hope's innate shyness (she insisted there never be a spotlight on her while on stage, EVER). Sadly, we lost guitarist and songwriter David Roback in 2020. This is one of the most enduing songs you'll find, period. If you do another Mazzy Star song, check out "Into Dust". It'll tug right at your feels.

[@star06able]

🖤

[@BimmyJaywalker]

Absolutely "Into dust"

[@Johnny_Socko]

I had heard that Hope Sandoval suffered from stage fright, but didn't know any details. I'm always impressed by artists who push through personal discomfort to perform for the people.

[@ericmorrison9747]

As mentioned earlier The Sundays "Here's where the story ends", a similar style and a great song.

[@jeffpawlinski3210]

For that moody emotional female-inspired 1990s vibe you can't do any better than Fiona Apple, Tori Amos or 10,000 Maniacs. Happy discovering!

[@celt67]

What about 'The Sundays '.

[@DeannaAKADeanna]

This style and more (as I wrote in a rely above): There were a lot of great women musician-songwriters who came up then. Listened a lot to Liz Phair (some cathartic stuff there LOL), saw Sarah McL. live when Paula Cole opened (got her CD after that show and listened to it a ton), pj harvey... tons of Polly Jean's stuff, and saw Luscious Jackson live (they will never get old). There were solo works & multiple bands with some overlap of the likes of the Deal sisters, Tanya Donnely, Kristin Hersch A little earlier, music goddess of the time Kim Gordon was kicking around great stuff with Sonic Youth (and eventually was requested by The Breeders to direct their "Last Splash" video with Spike Jonze). There was so much great music from women in the '90s. It's like someone left the gate open and they found their time to emerge.

[@holohulolo]

If someone like this particular song I doubt Fiona Apple and Tori Amos are the artist theyd listen to. Theyv got the 90s vibe but not quite similar. natalie merchant in the 90s had a somewhat similar vibe. But if there were one song that kind of that really moody 90s vibe by another artist I think one o them would be Drive by Bic Runga.

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

Love Mazzy Star. This whole album is awesome. Brings back good memories.

This song feels like floating weightlessly along in a bubble. It's simutaneously comfortable and sad.

[@youmadbro7733]

I listen to these type of songs and I am overwhelmed with such a powerful melancholic nostalgia. It’s because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place, or even a person. no matter what else has changed in you or the world, that one song stays the same, just like that moment.

[@clash5j]

I saw Mazzy Star live. Hope Sandoval seemed so shy as if she would have preferred to be anyplace else, but she sang great. No theatrics or anything from her. Just her standing in front of the mic

[@joesmith8725]

Mazzy Star! '90s alternative , shoegaze/psychedelic/dream-pop music. Fuzzy guitars, feedback and ethereal/dreamy /moody vocals. Also a desert rock kind of feel as well. Slide guitar (often heard in country music and blues) I don't know why they had broke up so soon during the '90s. It was odd. They were good. See their other videos like "Into Dust", "Flowers in December", "Halal", etc. They were from California, Hope Sandoval is Mexican American , pretty, with nice dreamy voice. If yall like this. Check out bands like Slowdive, Jesus and Mary Chains, My Bloody Valentine, Cowboy Junkies, Lush, Ride, Silversun Pickups, Lana Del Rey, etc Also Norah Jones is similar! (2000s) lol. Thats what yall were thinking about, same vibe, video and music. Or maybe The Cardigans ('90s/''00s)?

Please react to Susanna Hoffs cover of "I'll keep It With Mine" or her cover of "I'll Be Your Mirror" for Female Friday. Susanna did those songs for the Rainy Day album which was produced by David Roback. Susanna and David were the original Mazzy Star. You can sort of hear what would eventually become Mazzy Star in her covers of those two songs.
