This blew my mind when they played this at the Newport in Columbus, OH. I've always loved Mazzy Star, but I think this is the best song they ever made. Just my opinion.
@Triumph72 Found it. Thanks. I don't really mind the original "Blue Flower" or Slapp Happy's female singer, but I too prefer Mazzy's. It's hard for any singer to eclipse Hope's talents, to my ears, anyway! Without hearing the whole song, it's still unknown whether Slapp Happy nicked Lou's guitar solo, or if it was David 's doing. Oh well, it's not exactly a crucial issue!
Nice song, great singer, definite Velvet Underground influence, including a straight lift of a guitar solo from VU's "I'll Be Your Mirror". The solo David plays starting at 2:50 has 10 or 11 notes in a row, note-for-note identical to Lou Reed's VU song solo! Mazzy plays it an octave lower. Oh well, it's not as if Mazzy's the only band in the world that "borrows" from their heroes' songs. It's very common, really. They're forgivable. Especially as Hope's singing's better than Nico's or Lou's !
@Triumph72 Yeah, after I wrote that post I learned Blue Flower's a cover of a song by '70s band Slapp Happy, as you say. I tried to find the original to see if it's Slapp Happy that "borrowed" Lou's solo, or if possibly VU fan David Roback added it, but it''s a hard to find song & I never found it.
@Bobjb999 It's MazzyStar.nu Short snippet of the Slapp Happy version. Pretty bad actually lol. Hair and Skin, 5 String Serenade, I'm Sailin', and I'm Gonna Bake My Biscuit- also covers.
@Triumph72 I know that site too, aka Mazzy Star Boulevard. And I knew about their song snippets (irritating they snipped them. Must be for legal reasons).But I don't know the site well enough, or I'd have known about Slapp Happy. The forums there are great for some bootleg sources. Thanks for the info & tip!
Sure it's easy to be distracted by Hope's looks, but that girl is a real pro with an amazing vOice which i loved long before i saw her, i've never seen her off key, off timing etc - and she's got a great feel for the vocals. Great band , great singer.
I just fancy the angelic Hope to bits and a lovely song aswell.
