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 .

Firefly Lyrics

American Music Club

Cmon beautiful well go sit on the front lawn
Well watch the fireflies as the sun goes down
They dont live too long, just a flash and then theyre gone
Well laugh at them and watch the sun go down
Youre so pretty baby
Youre the prettiest thing I know
Youre so pretty baby
Where did you go
Tell my why you dont sleep anymore
Tell me what you sit up all night waiting for
Are you waiting for loneliness to paralyze
Are you waiting for sister midnight to unleash the tide
Youre so pretty baby
Youre the prettiest thing I know
Youre so pretty baby
Where did you go
Finish the prayer that started as a kiss
The overwhelming dream of happiness
Ill give you all of my good luck
For the overwhelming dream thats killing us
Youre so pretty baby
Youre the prettiest thing I know
Youre so pretty baby
Where did you go
Cmon well go sit on the front lawn
Ill hold you in my arms and were gone
Here and gone, firefly
