THE REVIEW

After the good debut of "Lunapark," the Luna released this extraordinary "Bewitched" in March 1994, considered by some to be their best work.

The album, characterized by the classic dreamy and Dream pop style of leader Dean Wareham, offers us overwhelming songs like "California (all the way)," where slow verses alternate with a powerful chorus, the very soft title track, and above all that "great Jones street," which is a masterpiece of tenderness, bucolicism, and serenity, a slow song supported almost solely by Wareham's acoustic guitar.

An album to have for all fans of Dream pop and shoegaze.

cover my face with roses
cover me head to toe
i had to be drunk
just to look at your face
that was all right by me
how long will this go....
how long will this go....
how long will this go on
cover my face with roses
cover me head to toe
you wanted to give me
some friendly advice
that was alright by me
how long will this go....
how long will this go....
how long will this go on
cover my face with roses
cover me head to toe
they're throwin' a party
and you're not invited
that was alright by me
how long will this go....
how long will this go....
how long will this go on

05   I Know You Tried (03:19)

i went to your street
at seven in the mornin'
and while you were asleep
i read your newspaper
i saw you out walkin'
out walkin' with your father
pretendin' not to see me
pretendin' to be a family
i know you tried, baby
i know you tried
i know you tried to go on
saw a metal object
lyin' in the street
and when we turned away
it stood itself up
you circled the island
in a chevy caprice
you stuck out your tongue
and your nose began to bleed
i know you tried, baby
i know you tried
i know you tried to go on
i know you tried, baby
i know you tried
i know you tried to go on
