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 .

Heaven Of Your Hands Lyrics

American Music Club

Once was a woman with a silver voice
Said she was accustomed to my face
But I could tell shed never love anyone
And wanted to run away because I could tell
That she really understands
There was so much that I had to offer
But now Im all alone at four am
And all I got is the midnight shivers
So I turn the dial and think
Maybe Ill find myself a friend
Who say they understand
Why I waste all my time so far away
From the heaven of your hands
And anyone can give you an answer
cause nothing in this life seems real
But Im nothing without the touch I just dont feel
Mother dont you hear your baby crying
Why dont you reach down and pick it up
Mother all your babys toys are broken
And I know heavens not for me
Thats something I understand I dont know how to live
Without the heaven of your hands
Theres a heaven in your hands
