This recording's from Copenhagen, June, 4, 2000. Mazzy Star did a European tour that year & performed a number of new or unreleased songs. Confirmation that "When You Were Young" is this song's correct title came belatedly Dec. , 2016 when Roman Tatus posted to a FB fan group a photo of a set list used onstage at Mazzy Star's 1990-08-18 Chicago gig at The Cabaret Metro he attended. It included a song entitled "When You Were Young,"
In 2011 with a comeback single, Mazzy Star began releasing studio versions of a number of previously unreleased songs known from live versions the band played in the 1990 to 2000 touring era. Between 2011 and 2018, Mazzy Star released six such older, unreleased songs on albums, e.p.s, and singles. This song, "When You Were Young" is not one of those, and remains unreleased to this day.
"When You Were Young" (sometimes mis-titled . "Now That You're Gone") is an unreleased oldie, an early Mazzy song the band played live in 1990 & revived for this 2000 tour . "When You Were Young" isn't as "rare" a song any more, at least not at You Tube, as there are now 3 different live versions to choose from at YT. The first one I uploaded a while back is a muddy sounding recording from a '90 Toronto show. Fortunately, the other two (this one, plus Live at Woody's '90, NYC) are better quality recordings with the vocals/lyrics much clearer, although Hope's voice is in best form on this 2000 one.
All 14 songs from Copenhagen 2000, both unreleased & released ones, have been uploaded to YT.
WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG (lyrics transcription)
When you were young
I was around
But don't you call
Out my name
Because you know it -
It ain't the same
Anymore
When you were down
I was around
But don't you call out my name
Because you know it -
It ain't the same
Anymore
'Cause when you're young
And so all alone
It's so easy to lose sight
But even though I tell you this now
I really, really don't care
No I don't care
No I don't care
Because you know it -
It ain't the same
Anymore
