Lyrics: Another time, time after time Sometimes I’ve got to tell you
And now you find as time goes by I wish that I could help you Time after time what’s on your mind You’re left alone with something And now you find as time goes by |
Music phenom Bob Mould is one of the best-kept secrets in modern music. Today, he performs as a soloist—and we here at the Dances with Bass studios have a healthy collection of his solo records—but he started his career in the late 1970s with punk-rock band Hüsker Dü. While Hüsker Dü wasn’t my particular cup of tea, Sugar hit all the good spots in the early- to mid-1990s. After leaving Hüsker Dü, Mould produced a couple of solo albums, one of which—Workbook—is a desert island record for me. In 1992, he formed Sugar with bassist David Barbe (ex-Mercyland) and drummer Malcolm Travis.  Sugar’s Copper Blue album was a darling of the critics and was named Album of the Year by NME (New Musical Express) magazine. Helpless reached number 5 on the mainstream rock chart, but Copper Blue also spawned a pair of hits in the UK, If I Can’t Change Your Mind and A Good Idea. For what it’s worth, if you’ve ever been in a relationship in which your significant other won’t trust you no matter what you do (or don’t do) If I Can’t Change Your Mind will hit home. Sugar released two full-length records, an EP, and a compilation of B-sides and rarities before Mould went back to his solo career. As a soloist, he has released 13 records. He played guitar on the Foo Fighters’ track, Dear Rosemary, from the Wasting Light album. In late 2017, Mould opened for the Foos on its Concrete and Gold tour.
