Biography

10,000 Maniacs was formed in Jamestown, NY, in 1981 by singer Natalie Merchant and guitarist John Lombardo. The group gigged extensively and recorded independently before signing with Elektra and releasing their debut in 1985. Co-founder Lombardo left the band in 1986, and they continued as a quintet, releasing three more albums. After 1992's Our Time in Eden had finished its run on the charts, Merchant announced that she was leaving for a solo career. The remaining 10,000 Maniacs decided to continue performing, adding the folk-rock duo John & Mary (original member Lombardo and violinist/vocalist Mary Ramsey). The new lineup released two albums before parting ways. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi

    Lyrics
    The color of the sky as far as I can see is coal gray
    I lift my head from the pillow and then fall again
    I get a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather
    A quiver in my lip as if I might cry
    And by the force of will my lungs are filled and so I breathe

    Hey Jack Kerouac
    I think of your mother
    And the tears she cried
    They would cry for none other
    Than her little boy lost in a little world that hated

    Lyrics
    These are the days, ohh
    These are days, you'll remember
    Never before and never since, I promise
    Will the whole world be warm as this and as you feel it
    You'll know it's true that you are blessed and lucky

    Lyrics
    Don't talk, I will listen
    Don't talk, you keep your distance
    I'd rather hear some truth tonight
    Than entertain your lies
    So take you poison silently

    Lyrics
    Take me now, baby, here as I am
    Hold me close, n' try n' understand
    Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
    Love is a banquet on which we feed
    C'mon now, try n' understand
