Why not speak about it now
I put things that shade to you
Maybe I've been dismayed
Maybe that's the truth

And we're like the roses
Stoned in the backyard
There is no misery
In the time we grew wild

Why not look out the door
And know what it's there for
To leave or to come back
Safe in the morning

Safely, unwounded
Roaming too late
Suddenly, I find you
In the town we grew up wild

And we're like the roses
Stoned in the backyard
There is no misery
In the time we grew wild

Hope Sandoval (born 1966) is an American singer-songwriter who was lead singer for Mazzy Star and later Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions.

Hope formed The Warm Inventions with Colm Ó Cíosóig (formerly My Bloody Valentine) and they released their first album called Bavarian Fruit Bread, in 2001. This album sounds, again, little different in terms of theme, voice, and instrumentation than that of her work with Mazzy Star. However, with a larger band behind her, and more time under her creative belt, Hope's voice has matured on these songs.

Hope formed The Warm Inventions with Colm Ó Cíosóig (formerly My Bloody Valentine) and they released their first album called Bavarian Fruit Bread, in 2001. This album sounds, again, little different in terms of theme, voice, and instrumentation than that of her work with Mazzy Star. However, with a larger band behind her, and more time under her creative belt, Hope's voice has matured on these songs.

Subsequently, The Warm Inventions released three EP's but received very little commercial success, no video on MTV, and very little radio play. Nonetheless, the band's efforts were appreciated by her solid fan base. In 2009, the band released the album Through The Devil Softly.
