Whenever I hear this, I sing Mikey Mills' part. Until they released this song I merely liked REM very much. But when I first heard this on the radio, i morphed into a slavish adoring fangirls.
Agree about lyrics...Stipe said he often did not understand what the songs were about that he wrote. He also said the lyrics were not supposed to make sense rather it was the feeling they invoked that was most important.....i listened to these guys in 80s as well growing up in North Carolina and had no idea what he was singing about...cheers
"I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm The power lines have floaters so the airplanes won't get snagged Bells are ringing through the town again The children look up, all they hear is sky-blue, bells ringing"
heidigretel, I've been binging your archives since I was 16 (I'm 24 now) and I was the only kid I knew that was into R.E.M. Thanks for sharing all of rhese gems!
Fue tan hermoso verlo cantar las canciones de los primeros discos que ya amaba y me habían hecho fanático del grupo. Después de ese día ya me podía morir tranquilo...
como me hubiera gustado oir en vivo radio free europe , these days o sitting still por nombras algunas viejas , pero con semejante discografia se hacia imposible ,ja.
Que lindo fue haber estado ahi , tengo el privilegio de haber presenciado las dos visitas de R.E.M a la argentina , la primera en el campo de polo alla por el 2001 y la segunda , esta noche en el personal fest , de los shows mas emotivos que presencie sobretodo por que soy muy fan de la banda , R.E.M por siempre !
@@UruguayPaTodoElMundo Que afortunado que pudiste venir , si supieran los pendejos de hoy que clase de bandas fueron R.E.M y muchos de sus contemporaneos no como la mierda que escuchan hoy en dia .
Yes. What a disappointment Obama became. His first order of business after leaving office was to engaging on a speaking tour of Wall Street organizations so they could pay him back for all of the protections and preferential treatment they received during his administration.
@@EDAR96 Families as well ... I've basically been told not to bring it up. Of course, we're diametrically opposed to each other politically. Religion as well ...no go.
It's not for the benefit of the audience. Stipe had a captive audience and a microphone and took the opportunity to get something off his chest. I like artists that don't even talk to the audience, except maybe to introduce the band.
Can't imagine how some of these negative Nellys feel about 2 new Georgia senators and Uncle Joe in the White House. REM spent a career pro environment, pro motor voter, pro LGBTQ, and yet good music attracts all.
