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.

Until You Came Along Lyrics

Golden Smog

Sometimes youre [a]up, sometimes youre [d]down
Dont let your [a]feet ever touch the [em]ground
Comfort [f#m]me in times of [d]doubt
In deep [a]despair, lies and cares and a falling [em]out
[em]with my friends I used to [a]follow
Nearly [d]everybodys [g]daughter
[em]thats un[a]til you came [d]along
[em]in a bar-room patrons [a]singing
But [d]i just sat there [g]drinking
[em]thats un[a]til you came [d]along
Your star-crossed eyes and your troubled mind
Seems you were left just for me to find
Sweet lady lay your hands in mine
Upon my face laid to waste by years of wine
[em]with my friends I used to [a]follow
Nearly [d]everybodys [g]daughter
[em]thats un[a]til you came [d]along
[em]in a bar-room patrons [a]singing
But [d]i just sat there [g]drinking
[em]thats un[a]til you came [d]along
Sweet lady lay your hands in mine
Upon my face laid to waste by years of wine
[em]with my friends I used to [a]follow
Nearly [d]everybodys [g]daughter
[em]thats un[a]til you came [d]along
[em]in a bar-room patrons [a]singing
But [d]i just sat there [g]drinking
[em]thats un[a]til you came [d]along
With my friends I used to follow
Nearly everybodys daughter
Thats until you came along
But the darkness just got darker
This heart of mine got harder
Thats until you came along
