Fade Into You, Mazzy Star, 1993
This song is magical. I don't know how it's possible but when I hear it, I become Fade Into You. For four minutes, Hope makes the world disappear and I gladly live inside the magical world of this song. It's haunting yet soothing. It's forlorn yet melancholy. She says so little yet she says so much.
It's the perfect song. It's mesmerizing. It's hypnotizing. It's genreless. It's timeless. I love how it has become iconic ... I love how it has become mainstream and yet is still pure soul-stirring cosmic magic.
It was written just for you, ya know?
Fade Into You is a secret being whispered into your ear. The song unexpectedly revealed itself to me multiple times this week. Thank you, universe, for rescuing me. Thank you, Hope, for whispering hope.
Happy Saturday!
