The rain came down The rain came down The rain came down on me The wind blew strong The summer song Fades to memory I knew you when I loved you then The summers young and helpless You laid me bare You marked me there The promises we made I used to think As birds take wing They sing through life so why cant we? You cling to this You claim your best If this is what youre offering I'll take the rain I'll take the rain I'll take the rain The night time creases Summer schemes And stretches out to stay The sun shines down You came around You love easy days But now the sun The winters come I wanted just to say That if I hold I'd hope you'd fold Open up inside, inside of me I used to think As birds take wing They sing through life so why can't we? You cling to this You claim your best If this is what you're offering I'll take the rain I'll take the rain I'll take the rain This winter song I'll sing along I've searched it's still refrain I'll walk alone I've given this, take wing Celebrate the rain I used to think As birds take wing They sing through life so why can't we? You cling to this You claim your best If this is what youre offering I'll take the rain I'll take the rain I'll take the rain I'll take the rain I'll take the rain I'll take the rain I'll take the rain I'll take the rain I'll take the rain
oh shit...I also forgot SRV guitar GOD and Big brother and the Holding Co and the debateable ethnicity of Carlos Santana.......so yeah REM is top ten but not top 5
Wow...I took that image of Michael Stipe in Los Angeles in 1987. It's been published before (in an R.E.M. Bio / Book)...but still fun to see it used in other formats. The quality here is awful but...still fun to see it.
YEAH! DRAGGIN' THE LINE LIKE DRAGGIN' THE LAKE FOR A CORPSE...LIKE, HOPELESSLY, DRAGGIN' THE WATERS FOR LACI PETERSON'S BODY...WHICH WASHED ASHORE, SEPARATELY, WITH HER NEWBORN TO BE....
