This recording's from Copenhagen, June 4, 2000. Mazzy Star did a European tour that year & introduced a number of new songs, including "Sparrow", that have never yet appeared on any official Mazzy Star album.

This one 2000 Copenhagen show contains seven unreleased songs, all of which I've uploaded to YT.

I've also acquired 4 more unreleased Mazzy songs from a '90 NYC show (at "Woody's"). All 4 have been uploaded to YT now.

SPARROW (attempted lyrics transcription)
You used to say don't give me a thing
Look at me with your [cold eye]-?
I know what I'm saying
You used to say I've got a heart like a sparrow
And a smile just like a blade
Now a kind word to soothe you
And a smile from my heart
You used to say I'll be fine on my way
Give me one final bottle of wine
And two for the road
You used to say I've got a heart like a sparrow
And a smile just like a blade

  • shes the most captivating person ive ever met...hope i can meet someone like her in real life...but i doubt theres anyone as dreamy as her? or is she dreamy? i think her songs are just dreamy...id love it if she was like her music...like a dark but a sweet wafting melodious soul...

  • @thebrowniesaur22 Well. she may be tempermental in person,& perhaps not necessarily the easiest to get along with! She wrote a bunch of Mazzy songs referring to relationship difficulties,which may give another clue.Although it appears she & Colm O'Ciosoig, her Irish boyfriend (husband?) of 10+ years likely get along together well. Her voice & melodies sure are pleasing to listen to ("melodious", yes.She has a genius for writing melodies, imo).Who knows what she'd really be like to hang out with?

  • @Bobjb999 hmm i can imagine her being...short tempered, a little insecure, wont smile much, wont talk much...maybe might even break off into a rant about how she hates the world and why (she thinks) all her fans hate her. lol but ah well shes...shes hope. and nothing can change that...and nothing should.

  • @thebrowniesaur22 That reminds me of an article I saw online somewhere noting her record company people soon learned a little trick for getting often tense Hope into a better, more relaxed & talkative mood: Have a bottle of wine handy & pour her a few glasses, as wine's apparently her therapeutic medicine of choice! Some YT commenter noted Hope often makes references to wine in her song lyrics. Hey, better wine (in moderation) than crack cocaine or i.v. heroin!

  • wow its amazing...is there a studio version??

    i need it for my sorrow!

    dont deprive me of it!

  • @thebrowniesaur22 Too bad no studio version, but who knows, maybe it will turn up on the next Mazzy album They keep promising a new one. Back in '09 Hope said a new MS album was nearly done. I'll believe it when I see it, & won't hold my breath!

see all

  • Hope Sandoval - the most beautiful woman in rock.

  • I saw Mazzy Star live in a club in 1994. I was right in front, six feet from Hope. I was literally breathing in air that she was breathing out! She actually looked at me several times, and each time I swore I was melting. (in a wonderful way) She is simply one of the most exquisite beings nature has ever created.

  • I dont think shes shy, its just her thing and it works cos every bloke is in love with that cute missie. I might even let her buy me.

  • its annoyin. i wish she would just be and stop that shy thing...she is great and should accept it. she mustv been raised w catholic guilt. lol

  • maybe this will be on the new album.

  • I love her music, her style, her shyness, when i want to relax, it's Mazzy/Hope I crave.....

  • A very well country flavoured song, in a good tradition of Cowboy Junkies.

  • She's Dreeeeeaaaaammmmyyyyy

  • @1000Neph sorry my words were like a hangover...i was smitten. 

  • @thebrowniesaur22 You're an idiot. But i get your point.
