Cry, cry for you
Just like you knew I wouldn’t do
Cry, cry for you
Just like a song in the last light
Should I leave it all away
Not like the kindness that you gave
That’s why it never seems the same
Behind your eyes
I stood behind when no one asked me
And took you home after the fight
I drove my car into city lights
Drove down the road that I am on
Cry, cry for you
That’s what you think I want to be
Cry, cry for you
An empty heart that sees me through
Cry, cry for you
Just like you knew I wouldn’t do
Cry cry for you
Just like a song in the last light
Cry, cry for you
Just like you knew I wouldn’t do
This is one of those rare songs that you play when you are alone...mostly because 95% of the people you ever meet are rotten scumbags and you dont want to let your guard down and hurt the last 1% you keep locked up close to your heart.
Reminds me of a girl I've been in love with for over 14 years. She's in a relationship now and I'm stuck in the past, missing her. Hope Sandoval's voice has always invoked a deep and soulful emotion in all of us and I'm thankful and lucky to have had the pleasure of experiencing a barrage of emotions with her and Mazzy Star.
It's such a shame that Mazzy Star got put in the "one hit wonder" category. They should have been bigger than that ONE song, because there are sooooooo many that are really really epic. Her voice has a wisp/elf quality, and the mellow music is definitely a mood changer. I know that I'm not alone in saying that it can be either very very sad and haunting, or it can make you feel good in a non-energized way.
First time I heard this song I was closing up my bar and it stopped me in my tracks. It was 1 am in Brooklyn about 4 years ago. I'm glad it was just me there at the time; I tried not to tear but since there was no one there I let the waterworks flow. You can just feel the emotion, the sincerity, the humanity in her voice. A truly haunting and beautiful voice.
So sublime. I've always loved how Lana Del Rey sings, but still, she's no patch on Hope. So silky. The instruments and production is really something to admire too.
This is the kind of woman you do anything in the world for. This is the kind of woman you'll go to any corner of the world for.
My goodness she is beautiful.
