      As much as my heart hurts all fucking bad right now, if never change a day I shared with her! Not one journey, not one argument, not one laughter, and not one tear, when you find that one person, you know, you just know, and when you do, no one can ever replace them 💔

    I saw Mazzy Star live in small venues twice, years ago. Hope Sandoval struggled if the crowd wasn’t completely quiet when she sang this song, it seemed to be a drain on her soul but when everyone shut up, they were enraptured by her haunting performance. I never imagined hearing someone else bringing as much emotion as Hope, but I’m ever so happily surprised. Thank you.

    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 is out of home
    You put your hands into your head

    Fade into you

    This is absolutely sensational man. You did a sublime job at recapturing the ethereal vocals of Hope, whilst adding a unique layer to the song. Felt like I was floating in a fifth dimension hearing this. Never associated myself with this genre of music, but after watching a Rick and Morty episode recently I heard this. Since then, I’ve become infatuated by Hope, Mazzy, and the genre as a whole. I’ve always listened to mainstream Rap, hip-hop, afrobeats, jazz-soul so this alternative music is an unorthodox antithesis to what I’m used to, but I don’t even care, I like that. As a Londoner who just turned 24, I resonate so much with the mantra of Sandoval’s musical storytelling. Her voice triggers deep emotion in me, but also has a hopeful lure attached to it- making me optimistic for the future and my yet to be fulfilled goals. I look forward to learning more about this genre, Hope/ Mazzy & life in general. Love and guidance🖤
