I first heard “Fade Into You” on Boston’s WFNX. It was a welcome departure for me from Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana and Pearl Jam. It meant that I could simply bask in a melody, instead of get thrown up and down and around by it. Listening to a Mazzy Star album was like stepping inside an atmopsheric bubble. And that bubble never popped whenever “Fade Into You” was playing.

“Fade into you. Strange you never knew.”
