If you thought 'Into Dust' being appropriated by every teenage US tv show was bad enough...sorry, this is just depressing rather than heartbreakingly sad.

 

 

 

what teen shows was it in? i only ever had it on CD back in the 90z. Great times, I still really like Mazzy Star tbh. guilty pleasure. In fact most of my ipod right now is filled with guilty pleasures.

See if you can get through this one, too...

these are mostly breakup songs

 

Antony looks like a slug.

 

it's best to just listen to the song and not look at the video, i find that grainy filter to be quite ridiculous
