## Resource

How does a song written in just a few hours become one of the most haunting and enduring tracks of the ‘90s? In this highlight, Anthony Gomez III, author of Mazzy Star’s So Tonight That I Might See (33 1/3) , breaks down the story behind Mazzy Star’s iconic song “Fade Into You.” Written in a single afternoon and initially not seen as anything extraordinary, the track would go on to define the band’s legacy and captivate listeners for decades. Gomez shares insight into the song’s creation, the atmosphere surrounding the recording sessions, and why its understated beauty made such a lasting impact. From afterthought to classic, this is the story behind one of alternative rock’s most unforgettable songs.
