Superchunk

Superchunk is an American indie rock band from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, consisting of singer-guitarist Mac McCaughan, guitarist Jim Wilbur, bassist Laura Ballance, and drummer Jon Wurster. Formed in 1989, they were one of the bands that helped define the Chapel Hill music scene of the 1990s. Their energetic, high-velocity style and do-it-yourself ethics were influenced by punk rock.

Members McCaughan and Ballance founded the successful independent record label Merge Records in 1989 as a way to release music from Superchunk and music created by friends, which has expanded to include artists from around the world and records reaching the top of the Billboard music charts. Superchunk released a string of full-length albums and compilations throughout the 1990s. After releasing their eighth studio album in 2001, the band went into a period of reduced activity. In 2010, the band released a new studio album, Majesty Shredding, and followed it up in 2013 with their tenth studio album, I Hate Music.

    Good Dreams

    by: Superchunk

    Sometimes, sometimes when I'm out
    Like a lion on the floor on the couch
    I can feel the world slipping
    Like the tossing of all the ships shipping
    I've got a mind that races through the dark
    Through your darker places
    I've got a mind that races
    Can you slow me down
    Hold me all night
    Give me good dreams
    Carry on tides
    Cause you know no extremes
    Hold me all night
    Give me good dreams
    By the green light of the digital clock
    Sound asleep, but the bed still spins and rocks
    Turnin' over on my side, listen
    Can you hear the sheets rippin'
    I've got a mind that races through the dark
    Through your darker places
    I've got a mind that races
    Can you slow me down
    Hold me all night
    Give me good dreams
    Carry on tides
    Cause you know no extremes
    Hold me all night
    Give me good dreams
    Our love is so much stronger
    Than all those little pills
    Time never stands still
