Summer distant and it's all far way
It's all far
It's all far
Far away
I think I'll drift across the ocean now
Clouds looks so clear in your eyes
Let me bring you on my
Let me bring you on my friend
I think I'll fly across the ocean
I can watch the sky turning grey
I think I'm going back
I think I'll go back
I think I hear the whisper of old best friend
I think I hear the bells ringing in the square

Mazzy Star is an American alternative rock band formed in 1988 in Santa Monica, California, from remnants of the group Opal. Founding member David Roback's friend Hope Sandoval became the group's vocalist when Kendra Smith left Opal. The band's current lineup consists of Sandoval (lead vocals, guitars, percussion), Colm Ó CÃosóig (guitars, bass, keyboards, drums), Suki Ewers (keyboards), and Josh Yenne (pedal steel guitars, guitars, drums).
Mazzy Star is best known for the song "Fade into You", which brought the band some success in the mid-1990s and was the group's biggest mainstream hit, earning extensive exposure on MTV, VH1, and radio airplay. Roback and Sandoval were the creative center of the band, with Sandoval as lyricist and Roback as composer of the majority of the band's material until his death in Los Angeles on February 24, 2020, from cancer. Mazzy Star's founding drummer Keith Mitchell, originally part of Opal, died on May 14, 2017, also from cancer. The EP Still released on June 1, 2018 was dedicated to Keith Mitchell and stage manager Tom Cashen who also died in 2017. Following Roback's death in 2020, Sandoval and Ewers are the last surviving members of the band's original lineup.
The band released the album She Hangs Brightly in 1990, So Tonight That I Might See in 1993 (the album went platinum in 1995), and Among My Swan in 1996.
The band's most recent studio album, Seasons of Your Day, was released in 2013, followed by the EP Still in 2018.
I do approve of the album cover, though.
Great vocal tone marred by bland acoustic guitar.
I humbly disagree. To me, it seems the acoustic guitar is structured to accentuate the vocals.
I live southern Oregon. We welcome all of our California brothers and sisters to our beautiful state. We have but one simple request. That you leave your 49er pipe dreams at the border. You live in the great pacific northwest now. Our home team is the one and only Seahawks. Just sayin.'
Thank you for the welcome! In my college years, early 90's, I did a road trip to Ashland with friends and we were shocked driving down main street and getting flipped off repeatedly. We finally realized it was our California license plates
Great vocal tone marred by bland acoustic guitar.
Perhaps, but this band's sound is seldom about loud or flamboyant guitar.

Seems like an easily researchable fact that someone with a little time and gumption could figure out. unfortunately I have plenty of the former, but none of the latter.

You can have your hearing tested at a number of specialists.
If this is on I don't need 'em tested, I need 'em plugged!
