Golden Smog are a loosely connected group of musicians (arguably a supergroup) comprised, at various times, of members of Soul Asylum, The Replacements, Wilco, The Jayhawks, Run Westy Run, The Honeydogsand Big Star. The group took their name from the name of a Flintstones character, which, in turn, was a parody of singer Mel Torm's nickname; the Velvet Fog. The group first came together in the Minneapolis area in 1989 as a country-rockreaction to the punkand hardcoremusic that dominated the Twin Cities' musical scene at the time; eventually Golden Smog became something of a fixture at local clubs, where they would play a handful of shows annually. Golden Smog's lineup has often changed, though Run Westy Runguitarist Kraig Johnsonas well as guitarists Dan Murphy( Soul Asylum) and Gary Louris( The Jayhawks) were relative constants. The definitive beginning of Golden Smog is hard to pinpoint given the mercurial nature of the band's lineup.

Reflections On Me Lyrics

Golden Smog

Verse one:
[c] if we were just a [g]little smarter

[c]you dont [c/b]like what you [am]see
But I [dm]swear
Its [g]only reflections on [fm]me
[ c | g | dm | g ]
Verse two:
Seeing through a two-way mirror
Looking back its all a little clearer
Or just the line-up of your life
All day long you put em through their paces
Late at night haunted by their faces
Darkness fades into the morning light
Chorus ii:
You say youre looking through me
Scared of the things that you see
But I swear
Its only reflections on me
Bridge:
[bb]one more time for old times
Come with [f]me
Just [bb]one last time for all times
[dm]seeing you just the [g]same way
Different[c]ly [ csus4 | c ]
Verse three:
Could have been a little smarter
Shouldnt have been such fire starters
Fires they always burn out
Repeat chorus ii
