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").

Disappearer Lyrics
Sonic Youth
[thurston]
Here it comes again - out of the rain
Seems to have a new - kind of same
Been it playing on a - simple rhyme
The site comes alive and - speaks the mind
It turns to me and - it turns to gold
It turns to see a - the fast lane slow
Its been a way too long
Its been the way I gone
Its a-coasting on
To the west star
Looking out I thought I - saw it blink
Coming on to me - like a silver eye
Pick it up and - turn it on and
Head on out to a - western starland
Its been a man and gone (? )
Now its a singing song
Like a western star
Its going my way
Looking out Im back in - time to stay
Into the eastern - silent way (? )
Comes alive through - through and clearer (? )
Ghost arise to - dirty mirror (? )
Youve been away too long
Its been way too long
An eastern star is on
A disappearer
