American Music Club(often abbreviated AMC) is a San Francisco-based band led by singer-songwriter Mark Eitzel. They've been recording and playing in SF clubs since the mid 1980's, showing a remarkable longevity for a band that has been far more critically acclaimed than financially successful. Although commonly lumped with other bands from the " slowcore" and " sadcore" movements, like the Red House Painters, AMC is better known for mastering the disparate strands of American music into a wholly unique synthesis all their own. Although born in California, frontman Mark Eitzel spent his formative years in Great Britain and Ohio before returning to the Bay Area in 1980. After a brief stint with the punk band he founded American Music Club in 1983 with guitarist Vudi, bassist , keyboardist Brad Johnson, and drummer .

Dreamers Of The Dream Lyrics

American Music Club

Always in a hurry, impatient to get away
Always think that things look a lot better
When theyre seen from far away
But if you take me by the hand
Ill love you like the sea
Ill wash over every border
Drown every boundary
Why wont you let me in
cause Id like to see
Whos been dreaming the dream of you
Cant you feel the pull of this seasons weather
Drawing the world into its shell
Draws and draws like poison
And no one sweet enough to resist the smell
And I see all the secrets that you keep
Use them to build your high wall
Use them to drown in your sleep
Why cant I just come in
cause Id like to see
Id like to be the smallest part of the dream thats you
I know that I dont feel the seasons
And I know that Im not really welcome
But I never got my invitation to join
The dreamers of the dream
Always in a hurry, impatient to get away
Always think that things look a lot better
When theyre seen from far away
