It's been years since it last occurred, but I've come across a "new" old song contained in a 1990s live Mazzy Star recording! Thanks go to FB Group member Ray Sferra who mailed me a CDR of his own 1990 Cleveland Mazzy Star show recording which contained the welcome surprise of a song I've never heard Mazzy Star, or any other artist, do before (though the guitar line sounds a bit familiar).
I will share the entire 12-song show soon, but for now I've just upped the one "mystery" song to yt. partly in the hope someone can possibly ID it. Is it a cover song anyone has heard before? https://youtu.be/TGV6vpbOq1s
I'm suspecting it's most likely an unreleased Mazzy Star original as lyrics searches of the few lyrics lines I think I can catch on first listenings turn up no known songs. Also. youtube's scanning computers did not ID any copyright holders on the song, which may suggest it's likely an unreleased Mazzy Star original.
IT'S OVER (or what ever it's real title is. My attempted
lyrics transcription from the 1990 Cleveland show)
It makes us nervous
So what's the bother?
You hold a light when I walk you into town
It means it's over, while it's over
And I ain't someone to lonely my love
It's over, yeah it's over
You hold a rhythm
Two design
Kiss the future
As it takes you for a ride
All alone as I walk you down a path
Hold the night Babe, it's you and the past
Say goodnight, take goodbye
Walk and watch you, but you would rather show
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Your heart it spins
Just like a planet
You watch the tide go home-losin' high
Don't do pain, don't do pain
To watch the future, just ain't my style
What I was to gaze into your eyes
Which means it's over, life is over
I start to plan, is it known by now?
And you his hostage taker too, you
'Cause it's over, yeah it's over
