I had a nice dream this morning. I dreampt that I was listening to a Mazzy Star album. I had the headphones on and a song was playing on my portable cd player. I looked at the cd album case. The song was so beautiful. It was slow and dark and dreamlike and psychedelic ...just like many of Mazzy Star's songs. I was singing along with this song...with Hope Sandoval's voice. This was supposed to be one of my favorite songs.
I woke up from this dream. I tried...really tried to remember the lyrics and how the music sounded...but I couldn't. The memory faded far too quickly. The song I heard Sandoval sing in my dream was a song they never created. It was a song I never heard before anywhere.
I was disappointed because I WISH I could have remembered the lyrics and the music. Then, I could have written it down and then perhaps make it into a song of my own. Even though I have no recollection of this song (other than it was a song I am sure I never heard before), I am still pretty stoked...it was a cool-as-hell dream...to have dreampt up a new song.
I do not know why I dreampt about Mazzy Star. I haven't listened to them in ages. I have one Mazzy Star album on a cassette tape that I never listen to anymore because I just don't listen to tapes anymore period. The album had one of my favorite songs ever though...Fade Into You. And I always thought Sandoval was really pretty...in a hippyish, dreamy, dark, clubbish, smokey-roomed, and delicate kind of way.
This dream makes me want to buy their albums now...maybe I will. I know that I will at least buy that one album I have...but in a CD format.
