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

I could stay here the rest of my life
I could be happy, never be lonely
I don't need to go looking for misery
I could surround myself with my props
Playing my part, getting caught up
In a game, some game, that anyone can play

I could be proud of things I have done
Pretend I don't have to try to be someone
I could say that I've done it all before
I could get wiser, I could get jaded
I could remember, I could just fade away
In a game that anyone can play

I am so proud, I don't have to try
Never a need to justify it when
People say "Hey I was important too"
Memories go to reinforce
The things I have done, for better or worse
It's a game that anyone can play

Just when you think that all your answers are so right
You'll fade away and disappear from sight
The ones who said you're great will find another way

I could be sad, I could be lonely
I could still have some friends if I only
Didn't play the games I had to play
I was important when I was cool
Now it gets lonely playing the fool
It's a game that anyone can play
