Biography

Punk/hardcore trio who were formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, in January 1979. Hüsker Dü (which means "Do you remember" in Danish and Norwegian, but is actually spelt without diaereses) mixed pop and punk music and consisted of guitarist/vocalist Bob Mould, bassist Greg Norton and drummer/vocalist Grant Hart. They started out as a punk band before gravitating toward hardcore, then expanding into more melodic songs. After releasing seven albums, Hüsker Dü split in January 1988 due to the growing tensions between Mould and Hart (the two main songwriters in the band), Hart's alcohol and drug problems, and the suicide of the band's manager, David Savoy Jr. Mould went on to form [a=Sugar (5)], whilst Hart formed [a=Nova Mob] with both of them disbanding their respective groups in the mid-'90s and going on to only produce for their solo projects. Norton stepped away the music business for a number of years to become a restaurant owner but returned to performing again in the 2000s. Grant Hart died of cancer on September 14th 2017.

LYRICS

Walking down a sunny street to the library
Checking out the latest books on outer space
Going to the fruit stand to buy a dozen oranges
Then she and the books and the oranges go back to her place
She tells the same old story to everyone that she knows
She's just sitting in her room reading books about UFOs

Sometimes I see her sitting on the rooftop
Perched in a lawnchair and staring into the sky
I know that somewhere in some faraway galaxy
That some gray men with telescopes are gazing right into her eyes

Her live revolves around all of the planets
And she is constantly aware of all the changes that occur
I'm going to turn into a lens and focus all my attention
On finding a new planet and naming it right after her
