Hope Sandoval of Mazzy Star - Give You My Lovin' (Solo Demo)

[izapet]

I'm convinced she's an angel sent from heaven

[Bobjb999]

Hope sang this song with her '80s duo,Going Home,long before joining Opal/Mazzy.Hope brought the song with her to Mazzy.I wondered if Hope may have written it,but just saw the writing credit,& Hope's Going Home partner,Sylvia Gomez,wrote it, proving Hope wasn't the only talented one in the duo(but was perhaps best singer of the two),as the song's become a memorable,beloved Mazzy song."Where Did You Run To" is another Going Home song Mazzy Star used to perform live.Did Sylvia write it too?

[dprague]

I dream of a girl who knows how to love such as this.......

[ResistanceReportCom]

Very cool. Thanks for posting it! Nice pics of Hope too.

[nikldan]

I love her so...

[bigpapadapa1]

i love it, even if it's not in good shape, her voice makes life worth while

[nikldan]

I love all her stuff but this is an excellent glimpse of early not so polished sweetness.

[stenesk]

Thank you ever so much for sharing this marvel, gold, gem, honey - this spell-binding song. Love from Denmark.

[poada2008]

i wanna kiss you

[wd336]

Holy shit on a stick. This is so.....gorgeous.

I wish there were more female artists out there like this. Just so natural, down to earth, and effective. No need to play up the "LOOK AT ME. I'M A GIRL!" We know. It's easy to distinguish. The beauty doesn't need to be stated or outspoken, just delivered.

This delivers. I got nostalgia even though this is the first time I heard this tune.

[narcissa912]

@wd336 Agreeing on every level.

[MUZICFEEDSMYSOUL]

Amazing... saw them live... ten million years ago it seems like...

[infinitalocura]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rubyrose456]

SO Sweet! Thank You!

[xavierspade666]

If there was a God, he would make Princesses almost as beautiful as Hope.

[BluesRaconteur]

@UnreleasedOriginal

Do you have the other songs off the demo?  Would love to hear it.

[mraliend2ify]

very very good \o/\o/\o/

[erboz]

1:05 Hope is soooooo beautiful.

[Zsuzsi22]

Lovely song. Both Hope and David are so talented, I love their music , relaxing, mysterious and dreamy it just makes me melt, they are fantastic !

[gwenalicious87]

Why would ANYONE dislike this?? How could they?! I love her voice; it's just like an angel's. I just covered this song :) Gotta do it again though. Anyway, I love Hope and Mazzy Star!

[dprague]

I just love this song and how it is sung. It's just great!

[1yellafella]

NO WAY!!! THIS IS SO COOOOL!!! i've been READING about this demo for years! (they wrote about it back in the early 90's in BAM), and there were always rumors that it was gonna get released yet never did. SOO glad to finally be hearing it, how cool!!

[UnreleasedOriginal]

@1yellafella nahhh, i know what you're thinking of. the going home demo. trust me, while this demo has "going home" songs on it, this is NOT the going home demo. that was recorded in the 80s, while this was done in 1990.

[The123321scooter]

@1yellafella NO WAY!!! THIS IS SO COOOOL!!! ))))) lllloooooollllll hahaha fan))) its not what u thinking)

[poada2008]

Thank you.

[TheBlueConch]

Got out before she was soiled by the media machine. just wanted to show love.

[dprague]

Hope is such a captivating talent. Beautiful.

[danno321s]

I would like to hear a clean Martin guitar and her bare voice without the reverb. More country approach.  I just have to wonder...

[phoenixstar333]

her music is indie-psych-pop, not country@danno

[infinitalocura]

sooooooooooooooooo good!

i love Hope!!!

[violhaine]

How would someone get this song in any form? It is absolutely gorgeous, just as the released version.

[SNIPEQUEST]

AWESOME, Hope I LOVE YOU!!!

[nikldan]

This one is a gem.

[LIQUID1776]

She's amazing ....She is a angel ....

[MezzanineXYZ]

if i were a singer,i would bind my eyes with cloth :D

[UnreleasedOriginal]

I can tell you've never been to see Hope/Mazzy before. The average music fan doesn't seem to appreciate her live performances. Someone like me, however, who doesn't really care for the histrionics/crowd interaction BS loves it, it's all about the music! If she needs a break between songs, big deal. She came back on if she "walked off twice," right?

Hope always plays in the dark because she gets stage fright having to look at people when she's playing. Must not be a fan if you didn't know this.

[BreezelyBruin]

@UnreleasedOriginal I've never had the pleasure of seeing her live but her music is wonderful. If she sang in an enclosure covered with a sheet on stage I wouldn't give a shit. She's awesome.

[sreymind]

Do you know why she walked off? Was it for a break, or was she unhappy about something?

[ostrmimo]

flotational music, makes me fly away everytime.. perfect feeling

[JoshuaBeyer]

This woman reflects serious pain on , You ) When your down , Depressed , ready to fall apart and can not see ...From drugs persction narcotics - xanax and suboxone ....you just get so tired .....y do i listen to it ? a habbit

[4EvErU143]

I can relate 2 ur thoughts...I've been there..and it's hard. Everyday becomes a struggle..and life just a dream.

[chicoeastunitmug]

id leave everything and go live in the woods with Hope where we'd harvest our own weed and mushrooms and trip everyday around a campfire and live in a cozy tent made out of trees,brush, and banana leaves and wed be wearing the same outfits worn in Tarzan.

[renessac]

well, could i come with? = )

[chicoeastunitmug]

yes.

[nikldan]

Just amazing. Thx poster.

[rougecat007]

thank's for posting this

[Rider222]

Favorite. Hope is awesome. Nice acoustic guitar!

[adeadgirl]

her voice is haunting,alluring, just absolute perfection in my opinion, discovered her in 94 & im still rokin 2 her. simply said HOPE JUST ROKS

[ZouZiPai]

Discovered her in 94? Even after all the Fade Into You hype?

i was an Opal fan.

[13scarecrows]

Beautiful....just like Hope

[deweypug]

I want to her make her mine... Holy cow, she is drop dead perfection.

[bronte7403]

Is this version available for download?

[purplevoxeater]

Hope Sandoval is possibly the reincarnation of Eve, the first female creature God ever made...

[newgreatyear]

Lilith, was Adam's first wife, before Eve, and how Hope looks?, whereas Eve is a redhead with freckles.

[crushingvanessa]

can't believe this was 19 years ago.

[wildenfree]

I know, takes me back. After a night out, come home - pour a beer, smoke a spliff and chill out to Hopes voice, a great way to chill out. Beautiful girl with a voice that seems to be caught in time.

[maceo13]

Without a doubt!! Looks like we followed the same routines.

[wildenfree]

Wow, but im 45, your now 30 and this was 1992 - makes you 13 at the time

Dude you were one cool teenager..heh heh!!

[maceo13]

LOL I didn't say I was doing THAT in 92!!

I would engage in that about 8 years later... just goes to show the timelessness of the music, not to mention all that about pouring a beer, smoking a spliff, etc etc... (c;

[wildenfree]

Yeah, sorry couldn't resist that one..lol

[indicainside]

Time sure has pass, but Mazzy Star is timeless.

[LaBellaSiena]

Man she's still so beautiful to me. I remember listening religiously to her growing up.

[gmpep3]

Cause you see, rain reminds me of you

And everything, has turned... to you

See you in places, I'm following you

You'll be upstairs, and I'll be there too

genius

pure & simple

[angelinakitty]

ANGEL HOPE SANDOVAL

yeah sometimes utube can still be good because of so much rare music

this song makes my hours on this site worth it tonight. THANKS

[trilby15]

I taught my ex girlfriend how to play this song, was so cool watchin her practice it. the song is a great 1st song to learn for a beginner guitarist. chords played are "G" & "C" all the way through almost.

[CandyPsycho]

I taught mine to play 'Just Like Honey' - pretty much the same stuff. :-) She left & took her beautiful black Gretsch away though.

[psychwardsally]

that rules im teaching my girl friend to play hey joe . wait thats not cute or sexy . this does rule tho so pretty

[dioncat]

an angel...

[filoponto]

she is so beauty

[mamazma]

AWESOME!!!

[kof3k]

where can I download this song?

[march2fuzz]

god, i only wish that the very brief slide guitar part at the end (of the album version) was extended... i couldnt imagine this song being even more perfect.

[julianvid]

Nice. This is why Youtube can be sooooo good. Thank you for posting.

[GellyVelly]

I'm sure other people have asked. But do you happen to have other songs from this demo?

[allteesup1]

Great post.

[xenuno]

Very nice sound. Beautiful girl with a hypnotic, dreamy, and completely unique voice. Her collaborations with Death in Vegas, Chemical Bros, and JAMC are excellent if you haven't heard them before. She's my favorite vocalist along with Lisa Gerrard. Dave Roback ... hell of a musician.

[kaijmiller]

Do you know where I could download the tracks from the session? Hope has the most beautiful sound - just fucking melts you, you know?

[dawncrk23]

I always loved her voice and the band, but it doesn't sound all that different from her usual vocal stuff, not to me. But wow, she is some kind of beautiful, ain't she? Easy to fall in love with her, but I wouldn't want her mad at me.

[proteggemoi]

ameiiiiiiiiiiiii.... I love hope...

[mcozzy1]

Very Cool! Totally different vocal style for her.

[alvaroacc]

thanks a lot!

[ravenphile]

This is a fantastic find. Thanks for posting.
