IMHO, RHP's "Song for a Blue Guitar" is BY FAR superior to Mazzy Star's "Fade into You." Although very similar, they are like the difference between a diamond and a cubic zirconia. Both are beautiful, but (for me), only one is the 'real deal'.
I absolutely love this song. My favourite song of the album. If you like this kind of music, you should check out ''Fragile Bones(Feels Like Home)'' by Ali Murray, or anything by Ali Murray for that matter. His music is so dreamy and sad and beautiful.
I agree that it does sound like "Fade Into You", but I like both songs a lot. I knew Red House Painters a looong time before Mazzy Star, though. I also like the Painters much better, too. But in all fairness, it is just three very basic chords (capo1: D,A,Em) and the chorus is different. I guess the slide guitar doesn't help much, though. Still, great songs by both. Just play them back-to-back and it's like getting the girl's view of the song, then getting the guy's view.

No, Fade Into You is Song For A Blue Guitar, because Mark Kozelek wrote this song 9 years before that song came out.
