Written by lead singer Hope Sandoval and producer/instrumentalist David Roback, this song about losing yourself in someone else was a track on American alternative rock band Mazzy Star's second album, So Tonight That I Might See. The set also features Mazzy Star's best known track, their transatlantic Top 50 hit "Fade Into You."
Hope Sandoval doesn't say much about her lyrics, but at the time, she was linked to William Reid, guitarist of the Jesus and Mary Chain. He later told Goldmine: "I was in love with Hope, but it was the unhappiest time in my life."
According to Sandoval, she didn't even write down the lyrics. When David Roback started playing the guitar part, she came up with the words and they recorded the song right away. It was later augmented with strings.
