Be My Angel Blue Flower [Slapp Happy] When You Were Young [unreleased] Ghost Highway She Hangs Brightly Bells Ring Halah Candle [unreleased] It's Over [unreleased, tentative title] Walk in Dark [unreleased] Give You My Lovin' I'm Sailin' [Memphis Minnie]

Facebook fan Group member Ray Sferra attended this 1990 show and made the original recording with a Panasonic RQ-335 walkman-style cassette recorder. Thanks go to Ray for generously sharing his recording. https://www.facebook.com/groups/6071129794/ I've included lyrics (pasted here below) of the unreleased original songs from this show. The lyrics are my own attempts to transcribe words. Biggest challenge was the song tentatively titled "It's Over." This show has the only version of the song I'm aware exists, so it's all I had to work with, and unfortunately Hope's vocals on the track here are not very clear, but are muddy/muffled, instead. However, I ended up being quite pleased with the transcribed results after listening carefully and repeatedly with headphones, adjusting EQ, and using Audacity audio software to create an audio file of the song 20% slower in speed, making it easier to hear more clearly every sound of a line or word. I've EQ-adjusted the show recording. The original had overwhelming low end that needed reducing. Plus I've boosted mid and higher frequencies. It's still muddy sounding and Hope's voice remains too low on the mix to hear her clearly, but it's improved from what it was, and is listenable. The unreleased songs in this recording are also findable on some other 1990 show recordings - except for the one song, Track 09, I've tentatively dubbed "It's Over," a song I've never before heard Mazzy Star or any other artist do. The lyrics' theme and style it's written in is reminiscent of another unreleased 1990 Mazzy Star song the band played at this same gig, "Walk in Dark," which I assume Hope wrote, which would suggest she likely wrote "It's Over" too. The vocal melody also sounds like something 1990 era Hope would have written, imo. Online searches of lyrics lines hear-able in the mystery song turn up no known songs. Plus, when I upped the song to youtube, yt's scanning computers ID-ed no copyright holders: more evidence it's likely an unreleased Mazzy Star original. In a photos folder here are photos all dating from 1990 (plus one from 1989). Included is a photo scan of the handwritten playlist Hope used on stage in Chicago at the Metro Cabaret in 1990. FB Group member Roman Tatus collected the set list from the stage after that 1990 show and shared his photo of it in the Group. It's significant as it helps identify correct titles of a number of unreleased songs the band performed live in 1990. By cross-referencing audible lyrics (mainly from a recording of another 1990 show, Woody's, NYC, recorded and shared by Scott Simpson a show which has clearest sounding vocals on those songs) to titles found on Hope's 1990 set list, I was able to obtain correct song titles that were previously missing to three of the four unreleased songs performed at this 1990 Cleveland show. This way, we learned correct titles to tracks 03, 08, and 10 are in fact "When You Were Young," "Candle," and "Walk in Dark." There's also a photo here of a CD liner from the "She Hangs Brightly" album signed by Hope for Ray Sferra at this 1990 Cleveland show. Here's Ray's account (he posted to the FB fan Group) of meeting Hope there, QUOTE: "Here is a CD liner inside from She Hangs Brightly... The CD liner I had Hope sign at [the] Cleveland show, 8/14/90, at a place called Babylon-a-Go-Go, which is in Cleveland's Ohio City neighborhood and was across from the West Side Market. I could find no reference to that show online. I went early to that show hoping to meet her and after a little wait there she was. It was just me and her for about two minutes. I remember asking her about the lyrics for Blue Flower and she clarified some for me. I did ask for a picture, but she said her manager doesn't allow them. She was really nice and a little shy..." (-Ray Sferra) Ray later did found a newspaper review of this show (included here) via a library archives search. He also took a recent photo of the venue address as it is as of 2017 (see this folder). He says a club with the same name "Babylon A Go Go" is still in Cleveland as of 2017, but it's on a different street. -Hermesacat (Bob B.) ........................................................................................... LYRICS TO the four UNRELEASED SONGS: WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG (lyrics transcribed from Woody's NYC gig recording, 1990, Aug. 9) When you were down from I was around But don't you call Out my name Because you know it - It ain't the same Anymore Anymore When you were young I was around But I didn't listen to ya 'Cause you're probably wrong But you know it - It ain't the same Anymore Anymore Because when you're young And so in love It's so easy to lose sight But even though I tell you this now I really, really don't care No I don't care No I don't care When you were young I was always around But I wouldn't listen to ya 'Cause you're probably wrong But if you hear me I think you'll know what I mean ............................................ CANDLE (lyrics transcribed from Woody's NYC gig recording, 1990, Aug. 9) Hold a candle to my face I just want to see the lights You and me, we went our separate ways [ And that's all I know tonight ]-? We went driving in your car And you took me by the hand Now I don't know just where you are I wanna know what I can I miss your smile I kiss your face I tell you good-bye And it's a shame Don't you wake me 'cause I'm not dreamin' Another one of your sudden mistakes [I ain't planning to be knocked down ]-? ['Cause you know it's not worth a taste ]-? I miss your smile I kiss your face I'll tell you good-bye But it's a shame We went driving in your car And you took me by the hand Now I don't know just where you are I wanna know what I can I miss your smile I kiss your face I wish you alive But it's a shame It's a shame ................................................. IT'S OVER (or what ever it's real title is. My attempted lyrics transcription from this 1990 Cleveland show) It makes us nervous So what's the bother? You hold a light when I walk you into town It means it's over, while it's over And I ain't someone to lonely my love It's over, yeah it's over You hold a rhythm Two design Kiss the future As it takes you for a ride All alone as I walk you down a path Hold the night Babe, it's you and the past Say goodnight, take goodbye Walk and watch you, but you would rather show Say goodbye, say goodbye Your heart it spins Just like a planet You watch the tide go home-losin' high Don't do pain, don't do pain To watch the future, just ain't my style What I was to gaze into your eyes Which means it's over, life is over I start to plan, is it known by now? And you his hostage taker too, you 'Cause it's over, yeah it's over ................................................ WALK IN DARK (lyrics transcribed from Woody's NYC gig recording, 1990, Aug. 9) When I was lost in the docks: changes everything I strolled by the lake: change of feelings I think I told you, maybe I did That love was gone, and how it is And you're here by my side And your prosaic heart's in it But my heart just ain't in it 'Cause you have gone away But you're still my arms at night Bad dreams smile to my face! They're real I couldn't hold you in our teens And you walk with your eyes closed to me So do I I think about you, and I think about who- About who you say that still ain't cool And maybe you're wrong But you're still my arms at night Bad dreams smile to my face! They're real ...............................................
