Mazzy Star's Fade Into You is one of the best songs I've ever listened to. It really stays with you.

The song, to some extent, is about each of us yearning to find our answers in someone else and being disappointed and troubled that we cannot.

It's the perfect song to listen to if you're (or want to be) depressed. It's also a really good song for being gently intimate with someone. I think you'll get what I mean when you listen to it.

Fade Into You
Album: So Tonight That I Might See

I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take a breath that's true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life
You go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go black
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there.

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew

A stranger's light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then smiles cover your heart

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
I think it's strange you never knew
