A-Side of new Mazzy single released Oct. 2011. B-side, "Lay Myself Down", I uploaded to You Tube earlier, as it was findable online earlier. (I see some sites now refer to the single as having double-A sides, & no B-side). I now have two different YT uploads of Lay Myself Down available. The first one's here:

It was recorded from the streamed audio at a lower volume level than I'd have liked (my error). Depending on listeners' audio set-ups, this could pose a listening problem, or be an annoyance (or not), so I've uploaded a 2nd recording of Lay Myself Down here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=182Rooyv6Hk

with volume pre-cranked, i.e. it's recorded at a louder volume level. Two to choose from! (Later update: both songs are included on Mazzy Star's 2013 album Seasons of Your Day).

This recording comes from a free stream found at this site: fuckyeahmazzystar.tumblr.com. Many other sites are now streaming both new songs.

Several sites now report a full Mazzy album & tour are to follow in 2012. It's not official news just yet, as Hope's official site, hopesandoval.com has so far announced just the single. However, her site's webmaster, Colin, left a post at another fan site, mazzystar.nu, promising more news is coming. I wonder, what news might that likely be? An album announcement, followed by news of a major tour, perhaps? Or so we hope - but odds could be good on both counts... Summer may be over (here in the Northern Hemisphere, at least), but hey, a new Mazzy Star season's just starting - surely good enough news to help alleviate winter blahs for Mazzy/Hope fans north of the Equator, & enhance summer enjoyment for those south of!

-Check my YT Channel for many (mostly live) unreleased & rare Mazzy Star, & Hope Sandoval & the Warm Inventions songs I've uploaded.

(attempted lyrics transcription below. Some of Hope's words here are hard to catch. If anyone has ideas for corrections, don't hesitate to share them).

Oct. 2013 update: I maintain & update an extensive (mostly live shows) bootlegs list with download links at new fan forum mazzystar.free.fr of Mazzy Star & related artists (Hope Sandoval, Opal, Rain Parade, etc.). The boots thread is found in the "General Discussion" section. "Worthwhile music's for sharing, not hoarding". The forum also has a thread with eight 2013 press interviews with Hope & David. So, check out mazzystar.free.fr

COMMON BURN

Simple things like your overcoat

And your beauty

That still are burnin' me

Let me hang around

Even if it's just some way

To have some common burn

A common burn

So I spend the night in someone's house

That you cluttered

Oh simple me that you fled

But we have that in common

That common burn

That common burn

Oh well

Haven't I said

So many times before

You could sit around

And have everything that you score

Just don't come home and say you've been asleep

When you know you're burnin' someone

That common burn

That common burn

You know we have

She was so amazingly beautiful in the 90's. She still looks good now, but in the 90's she was stunning!!!

Jan. 17, 2017: Here's a scoop re. this song supplied by Mazzy Star's drummer Keith Mitchell, QUOTE: "Hope plays guitar on the recording of Common Burn". Keith left the comment at a popular Mazzy/Hope FB fan Group Keith's a member of and occasionally leaves comments at. There's a thread there where people were wondering & speculating if there are any recordings hear-able that have Hope playing guitar on them. No one could come up with any definitively - until Keith showed up! We can likely assume the electric guitar is David's and the acoustic's is Hope's. I like the sound of the acoustic on this. Hope should play guitar on her recordings more often!

Robback is really getting somewhere with this guitar here, and the harmonica arrangement is also cool. This is like Sunday evening sunset, when nobody is in the street and the wind moves the leaves and loneliness enjoys the silence with you.

The record comes out today; my suggestion is wait for rain, or for at least a sunset, place the record in the player and turn off the lights, take it all in.
