I'm a big David Roback fan, so I was automatically going to be interested in Mazzy Star when they began. I actually still remember the first time I heard this song. I loved it right away, and most of the rest of the album as well. The one down side is that a lot of the lyrics are really crap but fortunately that's not too much of a problem with this one.
I never got into their later recordings though - a bit too MOR for my tastes. And sadly my perceptions were slightly coloured by hearing a few reports of not-terribly-pleasant behaviour on the part of David and Hope in their dealings with other people. "They were assholes" was one of the phrases used.
Oh well. When you're David Roback, you're entitled to be an asshole.
