Until You Came Along
Golden Smog · Stay Golden Smog: Best Of Golden Smog [2008]
Sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down
Don't let your feet ever thouch this ground
Comfort me in times of doubt
In deep despair, lies and cares and a falling out
With my friends I used to follow
Nearly everybody's daughter
That's until you came along
In a bar-room patrons singing
But I just sat there drinking
That's until you came 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
With my friends I used to follow
Nearly evevrybody's daugther
That's until you came along
In a bar-room patrons singing
But I just sat there drinking
That's until you came along
Sweet lady lay your hands in mine
Upon my face laid to waste by years of wine
With my friends I used to follow
Nearly evevrybody's daugther
That's until you came along
In a bar-room patrons singing
But I just sat there drinking
That's until you came along
With my friends I used to follow
Nearly evevrybody's daugther
That's until you came along
But the darkness just got darker
This heart of mine got harder
That's until you came along
Don't let your feet ever thouch this ground
Comfort me in times of doubt
In deep despair, lies and cares and a falling out
With my friends I used to follow
Nearly everybody's daughter
That's until you came along
In a bar-room patrons singing
But I just sat there drinking
That's until you came 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
With my friends I used to follow
Nearly evevrybody's daugther
That's until you came along
In a bar-room patrons singing
But I just sat there drinking
That's until you came along
Sweet lady lay your hands in mine
Upon my face laid to waste by years of wine
With my friends I used to follow
Nearly evevrybody's daugther
That's until you came along
In a bar-room patrons singing
But I just sat there drinking
That's until you came along
With my friends I used to follow
Nearly evevrybody's daugther
That's until you came along
But the darkness just got darker
This heart of mine got harder
That's until you came along
Until You Came Along
Golden Smog's "Until You Came Along" stands as a defining track from their 2008 compilation, "Stay Golden Smog: Best Of Golden Smog." Released during the height of their post-punk revival prominence, the song encapsulates the band's signature blend of jangly guitars, driving rhythms, and introspective lyricism. As a staple of their discography, it reflects the era's indie sensibility while maintaining the raw energy characteristic of their earlier work. The recording serves as a testament to the group's ability to craft memorable anthems that resonate within the broader landscape of alternative rock, solidifying their reputation as a key voice in the genre's resurgence.
