Sorry for the late entry. That song was planned with Kendra's voice but she didn't complete the tour. That's why Hope sang it. Which was the first unofficial Mazzy star rodeo.
I was blown away by your cover of the "velvet underground's ,HEROIN.It was a new look into the recovering process by the upbeat sound.Inspiring from a 30 year addict.
What's weird to me is I just googled "Mazzy Star Heroin" because I heard the drugs drawl in her voice and the intoxicating beauty she'd created with some sort of influence in that world....And I find this. Why is it some of us can just hear the undertow?
I literally did the same thing just now and came across this video... 4 years later... I saw Hope in show last year and wondered but I know that drawl...
Absolutely....Although the song was written by Slap Happy, these two chords figure prominently in Blue Flower as they do in Luna's Black Postcards. Love hearing TVU's influence on so many bands !
these two chords figure prominently in Blue Flower ......the context refers to the song Blue Flower(written by Slap Happy) .....speaking of the similarity of the chords in Heroin used by other artists.blue flower------> Slap Happy
@@jazztifiable Yeah hey you understand that the song being performed in this video is called "Heroin" and was written by Lou Reed of The Velvet Underground and that none of this has anything to do with something called "Slap Happy" and that nobody named "Slap Happy" wrote this song or any two chords and that you have no idea what the fucking fuck you are talking about in this "context," right?
@@misombra Again, the context of my sentence was that the two chords used in Heroin are the same as the ones used in song Blue Flower..I was highlighting the influence The Velvet Underground has had on so many artists...Mazzy Star covered Blue Flower...If you read the sentence carefully you will ascertain that I'm by no means saying the song in the above video is Blue Flower.
@@misombra wow, the song blue flower(covered by mazzy star featuring Hope Sandaval) which is written by slaphappy has the same chord progression as heroin ( 1 , 4 chords). I re-wrote the sentence to make it easier for you to understand. Have a nice day .
WOW< 88!! that was pre Mazzy Star, innit? Of course the Velvet Underground. I hear it in Hope's voice on Mazzy records, and the song stylings. It's as if Nico was a shy waif and sang all the songs instead of Lou
I don't know just where I'm going But I'm gonna try for the kingdom, if I can 'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man When I put a spike into my vein And I'll tell ya, things aren't quite the same When I'm rushing on my run And I feel just like Jesus' son And I guess that I just don't know And I guess that I just don't know I have made the big decision I'm gonna try to nullify my life 'Cause when the blood begins to flow When it shoots up the dropper's neck When I'm closing in on death And you can't help me, not you guys Or all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk You can all go take a walk And I guess I just don't know And I guess that I just don't know I wish that I was born a thousand years ago I wish that I'd sail the darkened seas On a great big clipper ship Going from this land here to that On a sailor's suit and cap Away from the big city Where a man cannot be free Of all of the evils of this town And of himself, and those around Oh, and I guess that I just don't know Oh, and I guess that I just don't know Heroin, be the death of me Heroin, it's my wife and it's my life Because a mainline to my vein Leads to a center in my head And then I'm better off than dead Because when the smack begins to flow I really don't care anymore About all the Jim-Jim's in this town And all the politicians makin' crazy sounds And everybody puttin' everybody else down And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds 'Cause when the smack begins to flow Then I really don't care anymore Ah, when the heroin is in my blood And that blood is in my head Then thank God that I'm good as dead Then thank your God that I'm not aware And thank God that I just don't care And I guess I just don't know And I guess I just don't know
Holy shit. How did I miss this version before? They kinda fucked it up but it's fascinating nonetheless. Great band covering another great band is always interesting.
the guitar for this song is tuned half a step down, so it isn't standard tuning....... there are few odd mistake notes in, but it's actually correct to the original.....open D G and F
Have you heard VU live recorded back then? Sound quality was not captured well on tape live BITD. If they went in and mastered these tapes it would sound incredible
Damn! Hope + The velvet underground = Priceless
That was the Big Club in Torino (Italy) on March 1988... I was there!
pro trick: watch series at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching lots of of movies lately.
@Jorge Gregory Definitely, I've been using Flixzone} for years myself =)
@@everettira8914 *( "FLIK-ZONE SUKKS~ARSE" ! ) €¥£ ^
this is pretty intense singing coming from Hope her songs usually so mellow, still rocks nonethe less she should do more.
And it really helps that she can put her heart into this one... Cuz, ya know ;)
@@fresatx hm... what do you mean?
@@queenzresident probably that she was a junkie at the time I’d guess

Muito bom! =D Hope Sandoval é tudo!

can you explain what you mean?
I literally did the same thing just now and came across this video... 4 years later... I saw Hope in show last year and wondered but I know that drawl...
The fuck yall talking about lmao
I did just the same, one minute ago. And found this. Was wondering about the same, if it was like I thougt I heard/felt, or something...
U wish she did heroin. Shame please stop projecting it's not a good look on you.
haha the same voice! what a doll
I could always tell even with Mazzy Star, they were influenced by The Velvet Underground.

the guitar at the beginning sounds like mazzy star’s song blue flower
Love this waaay better than the original actually
they’re so cool
💙
I don't know just where I'm going
But I'm gonna try for the kingdom, if I can
'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man
When I put a spike into my vein
And I'll tell ya, things aren't quite the same
When I'm rushing on my run
And I feel just like Jesus' son
And I guess that I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't know
I have made the big decision
I'm gonna try to nullify my life
'Cause when the blood begins to flow
When it shoots up the dropper's neck
When I'm closing in on death
And you can't help me, not you guys
Or all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk
You can all go take a walk
And I guess I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't know
I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
I wish that I'd sail the darkened seas
On a great big clipper ship
Going from this land here to that
On a sailor's suit and cap
Away from the big city
Where a man cannot be free
Of all of the evils of this town
And of himself, and those around
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
Heroin, be the death of me
Heroin, it's my wife and it's my life
Because a mainline to my vein
Leads to a center in my head
And then I'm better off than dead
Because when the smack begins to flow
I really don't care anymore
About all the Jim-Jim's in this town
And all the politicians makin' crazy sounds
And everybody puttin' everybody else down
And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds
'Cause when the smack begins to flow
Then I really don't care anymore
Ah, when the heroin is in my blood
And that blood is in my head
Then thank God that I'm good as dead
Then thank your God that I'm not aware
And thank God that I just don't care
And I guess I just don't know
And I guess I just don't know
Holy shit. How did I miss this version before? They kinda fucked it up but it's fascinating nonetheless. Great band covering another great band is always interesting.
It's my wife and it's my life
Slego Rimini
Io c’ero
def 80s u see the hair?
Holy shit she hated playing in New York.
Tune your guitar man. I know this is old and Hope is my dream, but damn. Tune that thing.
the guitar for this song is tuned half a step down, so it isn't standard tuning....... there are few odd mistake notes in, but it's actually correct to the original.....open D G and F
Have you heard VU live recorded back then? Sound quality was not captured well on tape live BITD. If they went in and mastered these tapes it would sound incredible
*( OVER "HALF" OF °[VELVET~UNDERGROUND'S] MUSIC WAS RECORDED & PLAYED · "OUT·OF·TUNE" ! ) €¥£ ^
It’s perfectly in tune you just like hearing yourself talk
Too bad kendra smith isn't singing this i like her voice way better!!!! and I mean this is Opal but i guess Kendra is already planing operation escape
Sorry, this is horrid. Guitar is way too high in the mix and drowns out everything. None of the otherworldly feeling of Reed's versions. Ugh, no, pass
Pretty bad.
