Sonic Youth Picture
Sonic Youthis an experimental rockgroup formed in New York City in 1981. They are generally seen as one of the leading innovators of contemporary rock music. In their early career Sonic Youth were associated with the no waveart and music scene in New York City, but have outlasted most associated bands. Initially inspired by the noise experimentationof Glenn Brancaand The Velvet Undergroundand the heavy garage rockof The Stooges, they are known for using a variety of unorthodox guitar tunings, and for applying screwdrivers, drumsticks or other preparations to guitars to alter the instruments timbre. Members of the band have released books of poetry and prose (a beatnik influence is evident in both their writing and lyrics), produced, written and performed in films (such as "1991: The Year Punk Broke", "Perfect Partner", "(this is known as) the blues scale" and "last days").

Sonic Youth

Coming down

Death valley 69
Youre right

Youre right you were right
I was on the wrong track
Were deep in the valley
How deep in the gulley
And now in the canyon
And now in the canyon
Out in the yonder way out in the yonder
She started to holler
She started to holler
I didnt wanna
I didnt wanna
I didnt wanna
I didnt wanna
But she started to holler
So I had to hit it
Hit it
Hit it
Hit it
Deep in the valley
In the trunk of an old car
In the back of a chevvy
I got sand in my mouth you got sand in your mouth
And you got sun in your eyes I got sun in your eyes
Blind blinded
And you wanted to get there
But I couldnt go faster I wanted to get there
But you couldnt go faster
So I started to hit it you couldnt go faster
So I started to hit it
I started to hit it hit it
Hit it
Hit it
Hit it
Hit it

Hit it
Hit it
Coming down
Sadie, I love it
Now now now
