I discussed Superchunk in depth in my post on "Hyper Enough", which was #33 on this list, but what I didn't realize is that after that post, if you type in "I Think I'm Hyper Enough" on Google, the #1 site link that will appear is this site, which I think is my proudest moment in the history of this blog. I can't begin to tell you how big a fan of Superchunk I was back between 1995 and 2001 or so, and "Hyper Enough" started that, so I'm pretty certain if my future self came back and told my 1995 self that I'd be blogging at the most popular site for the chorus of my favorite song at the time, my past self would be shocked into complete disbelief. And then ask what the hell a blog or a Google is. But I digress, because this post is about another Superchunk song, one that actually ranks higher than "Hyper Enough" on my top 40 all-time list. "Driveway to Driveway" was released on Foolish, the album that preceded Here's Where the Strings Come In, but it is not only equally beautiful, it's one of my top 20 favorite songs ever. A simple, pleasant tale about -- well, drinking and lust, which are a pair of topics that I know quite a bit about. And I thought it was you that I chased....
#19 Song of All - Time
I still have briars in my clothes
Did I lay you down in those?
The names on the stones were all erased
And i thought it was you that i had chased...
Driveway to driveway drunk
I don't remember this too well
Glad i have the scrapes to prove
Prove it was me who fell
And the names were all we knew
And the names were all erased
From stage to stage we flew
A drink in every hand
My hand on your heart had been replaced
And i thought it was you that i had chased...
Driveway to driveway drunk
I don't remember this too well
Glad i have the scrapes to prove
Prove it was me who fell
And the names were all we knew
And the names were all erased
