day 75: Fade Into You

Fade Into You, by Mazzy Star.

Did anyone else have certain albums that they could put on at bedtime (as a teen, or in your college years with a roommate) to fall asleep to? I mean, it’s not like that — I wasn’t boring myself to sleep — it was more like, the music would carry you off into dreams?

Eh, or less romantically to obscure the sounds of your roommates existing in small spaces?

Mazzy Star will help you get your Zs, true, but also, this song and its simple drone punches me in the guts with feelings, and it was really fun to sing.

Ended up doing this still tuned down half a step from last night’s Cat Power song because I tried it and loved how it sounded for this.

Added a buncha stuff, although I didn’t like the garageband effects on the acoustic as much this time. The synth pad thing is just right. I like synths. Synths are cool now.
