    R.I.P. , David Roback. Thanks to you and Kendra Smith for Opal, and to both of you for finishing the re-mastering and re-issue process for Opal's 2 albums, "Early Recordings" (mostly quiet) and "Happy Nightmare Baby" (mostly loud). They've been very hard to find for over 20 years.

    Opal's 2 albums are soon to be Re-issued - Finally!... This song is So raggedly beautiful. The words are words to live by:
    "You fell from the sun
    Now you're feeling so cold
    Never thought morning
    Could feel so alone
    They say you gotta live by doin
    g
    She said she felt all undone
    They say that every day is dying
    Just like the sun
    Still in a cloud
    And the rain's falling down
    Clouds in the sky
    And the hills turn around
    They say that every day of livin
    g
    Should feel as if it were the last
    They say hold on to your feelings
    Not the past
    They say you learn just by starting
    To feel like you're not all alone
    Everyone just keeps on tryin
    g
    For the sun
    You fell from the sun
    Now you're feeling so cold
    Never thought morning
    Could feel so alone"

    I first heard this song on College Radio in 1984. I said wow it's 1968 all over again

      The vocals kind of sound like a cross between Nancy Sinatra and Nico.

      Kendra was more than muse. She cowrote, arranged and produced EVERYTHING they did together including the RAINY DAY project.

    I remember buying this as a 12 inch single in Virgin Records, Liverpool in 1984! Didn't have Opal or Clay Allison on the cover just Kendra Smith, David Roback and Keith Mitchell. It's the most beautiful thing I've heard.

      Well, not in Liverpool, in Baltimore, MD. BUT THE REST OF IT IS THE SAME. Just saying, we're cooler than all you other guys who didn't hear this until after Opal was a thing.

      +Guy Wordsmith I also bought this record in Virgin records Birmingham (UK) and it is great but there are others eg "fade into you" mazzy star (94)
      and moving to 2015 "the innocents" by low . the later is hauntingly beautiful . I think like this band Low were/are influenced by the velvet Underground and also David Roback/ Opal/Mazzy star .

    This was the very first song Kendra wrote. 100% Kendra, music and lyrics. She has this new song Moon Boat that she wrote and sang for the 2018 film Leave No Trace. It's over the final credits. Watch it. Great movie and the sing is a critical piece at the end! I understand she's recording again - in her cabin.
