Mazzy Star - Lay Myself Down, new song Oct. 2011 + lyrics

[stillilllife]

@nnicholss Haha, yes, exactly how I felt when I listened to it for the irst time (and well, now too).

[voodoosleeper]

People are surprisingly bad at interpreting lyrics on the internet...

"Did I forget/Lay myself down/Just to regret/And that's all"

[MrBagamot]

OMG! I love it!!! Good to hear Mazzy Star is back.

[faceofboe98]

Talk about some 90's nostalgia. I feel like I have gotten into a time machine and wound up in 1995. Thank You Mazzy Star!

[TheCtownbrown16]

i like this much more than common burn (the A side track)

[comonnowledge]

its like country music done the right way. mazzy star goes hard in the f***** paint

[moireyes13]

such an awesome song sung by such and incredible singer :)

[SwiftBishop]

Amazing how their new music brings me back to riding my bike listening to their old music in the early 90's.

Hope...marry me.

[binaural1971]

mazzy de nuevo! extraordinario!..david robak y hope otra vez wow!

[verite]

Total time machine.



[davidraffer18]

mazzy star es lo mejor k hay!!

[Triumph72]

Love how they throw hints of country grooves in there. Basic straight-ahead slow/mid tempo light rock/country/alternative/Velve­t Underground/soaring guitar/Hope's perfect voice= bliss!

[redzer50]

sounds like harvest moon

[chrisallenrichie]

Hope is riduclously beautiful

[Deadlyrazorwings]

New Mazzy!! Heaven.

[Kurtcobainsweater]

That "spector" photo of them @ :15 is an instant Mazzy classic.

[FurNTatsIN]

Brilliant.

[avrahamalchek]

mazzt star are the best thing that ever happen to deep deprecation . sail on.

[ayundame]

I hear her sing "Did I forgive laying myself down" in the first chorus.

I hear forget clearly in the second chorus.

Does she ever change words in the chorus? I can't remember.

2nd verse:

I'll never know how far I'll go

I hear: I'll never know how far, how long

[Bobjb999]

@ayundame Thanks. you nailed "how far, how long". My first attempt had "forgive" in 1st chorus, but later decided it was likely "forget".

[lewi91100]

Nice... her voice is still amazing

[mikeusat]

This is kind of a weaker imitation of I've Been Let Down.

[jaruel37]

@mikeusat For me this is akin to Fade Into You and Ride it on, similar grooves, but different guitar chords. I've been let down has a chord progression G F C. Lay myself down has two main progressions D Am C for the verses and C G D for the chorus.

[Bobjb999]

Update: It took a few days to realize this upload was recorded from the streamed audio at a lower volume level than I'd have liked (my fault). Depending on ones audio set-up, this could pose a listening problem, or be an annoyance (or not), so I have a new, 2nd upload of Lay Myself Down available, recorded louder, i.e. at a higher volume level (see the video description for its YT URL), so listeners can take their pick!

[jph2000]

Love these, but I hope the new album has some heavier material also- like Blue Flower.

[Guntahkela]

Beavis and Butt-head returning and a new Mazzy Star album confirmed. 90s revival amidst. The 2 new songs are very dear to me.

[halation777]

can't wait to hear more...

[JohnnyMarr03]

very cool and lush, glorious ..

[dammbleth2]

Hope is great on her own and the Warm Inventions thing is great, but Hope & Dave together is the nuts! Lookin' forward to the new record....

[kaiagavin]

absolutelyyyyyy beautifullllllllllll

[whateveralesme]

Sounds pretty good to me, especially considering it's a b-side, and the absence of new material in this many years.

[thebrowniesaur22]

or maybe...i just need to listen to it a little more

[thebrowniesaur22]

its amazing that shes releasing an album and everything...but somehow it doesnt feel like the songs she used to make...those were so...mystical...

[thebrowniesaur22]

finally!!! 

oh hell, its been so long!!!!
