Malenka - Fade Into You (Mazzy Star cover)

[@themalenka]

This video suddenly got a little traction and I wanted to say - I love all of you guys and I appreciate every comment/like/view so so much! So many of your comments have brightened my day (even though it’s difficult to respond to each one!) and it makes me so happy if listening to this cover or any of my other music makes your day brighter too 💛 thank you 💛 Also, there’s actually a bonus version of this song I posted on Instagram, if you’d like to check it out: instagram.com/reel/C0b3nhoswpt/ We started recording by a lake, but something malfunctioned and the first 4 takes were completely erased while in the others the wind was too loud. That’s why I’m a bit grumpy in the lake version - and why we ended up moving to a cow field 🐄 And if you’re new here and would like to know a little more about me, here’s a little bit more of my story: kzbin.info41jFtXLr0aQ?feature=share ☺️💜

So happy with this random recommendation, beautiful voice!

[@themalenka]

Aww thank you so much for checking it out!

[@KeithBuhler]

Loved the original -- Algorithm was right to suggest it. Your cover is slow, mellow, but even richer in some ways than Mazzy's. well done!

[@henryhuynh2099]

Because you slayed.

[@RedEyedPatriot]

I lost my sweet beautiful friend to suicide today. I'm drowning myself in music. She loved this song. You sang it Beautifully.

[@FloppedPizzaParty]

I'm sorry you lost your friend. This song truly is one for the lost souls. May your friend rest in peace, and you find peace with their passing. Have a blessed day brother

[@RedEyedPatriot]

@@FloppedPizzaParty Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate you.

I never thought that someone would sing with the same essence as Hope Sandoval, maybe the chorus was strong, but in the end I loved it, congratulations.

I don’t think anyone can quite get the essence but we can love the song :) so glad you ended up loving it, thank you ☺️♥️

Original Mazzy Star fan here who saw Hope Sandoval sing this great song live in the mid 1990's. Your cover is the best effort I have seen of this immortal song. You capture the wistfulness and emotion of the original. Bravo !

[@themalenka]

Thank you so much! I feel quite jealous that you got to see them live - and that much more glad that you like my version ☺️♥️

[@keithbate9405]

@@themalenka You were far to young to see Mazzy Star. Certainly in the mid 1990's. I actually got to speak briefly to Hope S. I also spoke to David Roback (rip) . His passing a couple of years ago was very very sad. Good luck with your future musical career. I have been checking out your original material and it sounds good to me !

You've mastered this song. I've heard so many covers of this song, and your voice conveys the same emotion as Hope's did. You had this old 90s kid streaming tears down his face while drinking his morning coffee. Thank you.

[@themalenka]

Thank you so much for your comment. The original version taps into emotions that are hard to find otherwise, so I’m glad you feel I got somewhere close to that :) and hope your day went well after the morning coffee ☺️♥️

[@SeanEnginetechnology]

Yeah, crazy how quickly time flies by from another 90's kid _- though getting to see this live, along with other greats like Layne Staley, Chris when in Soundgarden and Soo many more, and My amazing 2 & 8yr old daughters ❤️ make me not want to trade it for anything! Beautiful performance, FR ❤️🙏❤️🙏 * Don't EVER stop playing and singing, I stopped for like 10yrs in a bad, abusive relationship and I hate how much range and playing ability I lost from putting it down for that long.. thank God I'm playing again and getting ít back a bit!! Thanks to my baby girls for loving to hear their Daddy sing and play ❤️🙏❤️👏🙏

Not just your cover of this beautiful classic song, but the setting, framing, composition, and natural lighting of your video is perfect in every way.

[@akseakayaker]

I’ve always loved Mazzy Star so as such I’ve always also been very critical of artists covering their songs however......... Malenka in my opinion has done a very wonderful rendition of this song. Also the name “Malenka”, I believe it’s Eastern European, maybe Russian in origin? Supper cool name, love it.

[@themalenka]

So glad you like it, thank you :) and yes, Malenka is a bit of a play on words - comes from my name (Lena or Lenka) and the Polish word “maleńka” which means something like “little one”, sometimes used affectionately a bit like the word “darling” too
