Halah - Mazzy Star

[bigdsears]

I remember listening to this here in Austin back in the 90's, keeping the slacker image alive and well. Man I miss the older stuff like this.

[skibbieshits]

Makes me not wanna kill anymore......nice

[cuttingbeauty1]

Wow, this doesn't make me want to kill myself.

[stelli2]

Lovely...

[felipecruzgodoz]

I wish I could live in this song

[gloabeyta]

Love mazzy!

[sevenhill467]

İt's like i told you, she is over us somehow

[joerrten]

yea she is mexican like me so shhh lets hear the music ok!!

[hopelovesjonas]

Her voice is something that has no words to describe. The fact that we have the same name makes it even better :)

[adlaremse0424]

This song is timeless......Takes me back all the way to when I was like 17....18....

Love it!

[uvyas76]

Timeless song. Amazing!

[moparman1971340ply]

hope sandoval was hot in this video

[Jacam0]

Thums up for those who weren't brought here by some cr@p video game ad

[Davidrcobb]

@clborg88 agreed

[skiltch]

I'm in love...sigh......

[ljromanoff]

@2XHD This is why: "The king of Assyria invaded the entire land, marched against Samaria and laid siege to it for three years. In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria captured Samaria and deported the Israelites to Assyria. He settled them in Halah, in Gozan on the Habor River and in the towns of the Medes"

Halah is an allusion to those who were sent away and then disappeared.

....."baby won't you change your mind?" .....

[ChesterCasey85]

oooh, this sing takes me back to 1995...grrrrrr!!!



[TheMac6010]

one of my most favs!!!!

[bigdsears]

I'm knda glad not really a lot of folks dont know Mazzy. Lets keep it to ourselves and listen and love it. Besides, this music might freak out these kiddos nowadays. They might find it too edgy

[andicom68]

Einmalig. Unerreichbar. Außerirdisch geile Musik.

[2XHD]

i don't understand why they named it HALAH!!!!!

[soadfan33]

This song is so amazing!! Luv the sound of her voice. Very soothing!!

[danzpantzjoanne]

Looooove this song. Jeesh, it's been a while.

[deathtracer]

Haven't heard this in a long time.

[boxanova66]

I wonder if she can give me a blow job and sing this beautiful at the same time...bliss

[SuperWells34]

@boxanova66 See if you can stick your fingers up your ass and whistle it.

[robertadiskin]

Nice to see it described as delightfully sad/melancholy celebration (Perfect description!!!!). I thrive on heart-wrenching music/lyrics/vocals--- and Mazzy Star has always been that to me.

[AbercrombieGoTeam]

Cry Cry for You!!!

[AbercrombieGoTeam]

Hope is PURE ORIGINALITY... No one can duplicate her... Her voice and passion is unmatched !!!!!

Without her , there would be a great void in this world!!

Love U Mazzz

[AbercrombieGoTeam]

She Represents all that is Good in this World

Even the good of hurt and loss, the experience.. She grabs me, puts me to rest

She made moments in my life more memorable !!! I love you Hope

[AbercrombieGoTeam]

Hope is the Bomb!!!!!!

I Love You

Always Have

Since the 90's

Beautiful girl

Beautiful music

[ssouxieQ]

Yes she is, Lovely.

[RobertMurph]

Ok, this is going to sound vulgar, and really base but....

I want to fuck that voice.

[gravelandgrain100]

Dreamy, melancholic, sweet, introverted, and bittersweet...

so 90's-just amazing time for music

[Livvypuent]

wow what a 90's video!! Very cool...

[Bobjb999]

A clue to the song title's meaning:

(Wiki): "Halah (Hebrew: חֲלַח, Modern Tiberian Ḥălạḥ; Latin: Hala) is a city that is mentioned in the Bible. It is noted when the Assyrians invaded Israel and enslaved the people. They were sent into exile in Halah, in Gozan on the Habor River, and in the towns of the Medes. Halah was in Assyria, which was a major power in northern Mesopotamia. The city appears in 2 Kings and in 1 Chronicles, where the story is being retold."

[fhpr68]

@Bobjb999 Cool, Is this what the song is about? Also isn't Hope part Jewish?

[Bobjb999]

@fhpr68 A lover's leaving.Did this spark an idea of "exile"&a Bible reference for Hope?I've learned "Halah" is also a woman's 1st name(Arabic)&could be the woman leaving.Is exile a 2nd meaning?Hope's writing creatively from a male narrator's viewpoint: "I guess that you believed you are a woman,And that I am someone else's man." Hope's background's Mexican&Mexicans are typically part Spanish&part Indian.I think Hope's beautiful,exotic facial form comes mostly from her Mayan or Aztec ancestors!

[moonlily1]

@Bobjb999 I rather doubt it. If you see pictures of the Mexican Indians, they usually have very broad faces with strong, chiseled-looking bone structure. Her face is very delicate looking.

[TheCisnne]

@moonlily1 She Look very mexican to me U ever been to those small towns in Jalisco . she is Mexican after all.

[moonlily1]

@TheCisnne I didn't say she didn't look Mexican; I meant she looked more spanish descent than mexican-indian.

[Davidrcobb]

@moonlily1 actually she is of mexican decent on her mothers side.

[moonlily1]

@Davidrcobb I know this. And? I had said she didn't have the strong, almost course features of mexican-indians, who the person i had responded to suggested were genetically responsible for her beauty. I was denying that she looks like an american indian, not that she looks latina. I know she is.

[Davidrcobb]

@moonlily1 there is no and,didnt bother reading any responses between u and anyone else.either way her voice and appearance are both very beautiful.I was lucky enough to see her live in Atlanta last year as Hope Sandoval and the warm intentions and it was amazing.

[Davidrcobb]

@moonlily1 Funny story from that night,I was standing near her merch table with some friends with a couple drinks in me and jokingly said Im writing my cell # on my underwear and throwin them on stage.The merch girl is a good friend of hers and overheard me saying this.later after the show I was lucky to see her out back and said hello and as we walked away I heard the merch girl say "thats the creepy guy I was tellin you about" What could I say or do after that lol

[moonlily1]

@Davidrcobb haha, not much I guess. I wouldn't have thought you were creepy, I'd have laughed. Hey, chicks throw their panties onstage all the time...that's creepy to me. Yes, I agree that Hope is lovely and totally understand why you'd want to throw your boxers at her.

[Davidrcobb]

@moonlily1 yup,gurls deff do it all the time.although theres something way more disturbing about a guy doing it.and Im pretty sure one of her shows isnt quite the right venue for such a bold statement,woulda went over like a terd in a punch bowl.but to hell with tact next time Im doing it lol

[moonlily1]

@Davidrcobb I think it's funny, personally.

[FarfalinaLOVE]

@fhpr68 Both her parents are Mexicans...so she is Mexican-American

[hhumca]

90 likes to 0 dislikes; she is liked much more than that...missing you now...

[Davidrcobb]

And God said "let there be great music",then he sent 1 of his angels and the music was good.

[MrSeabigdaddy]

smokin hot!

[fuzzprobe]

Man, if I had a 45 of this, I would wear a hole in it. Seriously.

[MNWreckingCrew]

@fuzzprobe 45s already have a hole in them

[calliegurl12]

A most amazing song

[martinenkov]

[MrMLD72MLD]

♥ .

[Zippymt]

It is sad that only 9000 people have run into this great song in two years.

[ACounterLife]

@Zippymt

There are more than one video of this song. Besides, you can always get the CD or download it.

[DIVISIONINCISION]

Hope is Hispanic............so there is no Arabic connection, other than the title of the song.

[leandro87l]

psicodeliaaaaaaaa! bella ella!!

[kixigvak]

The title is Spanish, but the origin of the word is Arabic. It means coax or persuade. What a song. Great voice and great guitar.

[pandaeyes42]

Hope Sandoval is touring Australia June 2010!

Words cannot describe how happy this makes me!!!

I'm there with freaking bells on!!!

[princesskellysue]

And I look over now thru the door and I still belong to no one else .baby won't u change yr mind

[FeloniousDrunk]

Can anyone tell me how this song got its title? "Halah" is an Arabic name, and it isn't mentioned at all in the lyrics. Just wondering.

[pandaeyes42]

The voice that can turn me into complete and utter goo!!!

[TIMOTHYSAARINEN]

Dreamy....So Dreamy....

[CelsoCalvin]

Hope my heroin.........

[bplee10]
