    The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight

    I started recognizing R.E.M. when Automatic For The People got into my hands (which was 2001 and 14 years old me). Even though the album had been released much earlier, I loved it and used to listen to it every night and day all the time. At that time I was on a dormitory high school and my roommates got addicted to it just as I did.

  • "depressing" is not the right word

    Everybody Hurts

    so - Stipe has cited an article which says in its headline that 'everbody hurts' was voted "the most depressing song of all time". (in the body of the article, they say "saddest song", which isn't the same as depressing, and that isn't really right either). the song is about emotional pain, so it's a somber subject and poignantly performed, but what it's *really* about is that pain is transient, and can be borne and survived, and if that isn't hopeful, i don't know what is. :)

    The One I Love

    I've been a fan since first hearing Radio Free.....but Fables and Document will always be my favorite albums--- Driver 8 being my favorite song (if I had to narrow it down). I, like so many of you, had the cassette versions of these that ended up stretched and destroyed only to be replace later by CDs. All those song over all those years through all those times - both wonderful and miserable. REM has been such a part of my life even to today. Thank you Gentlemen for your contributions to my world.

  • Hard Choice

    Nightswimming

    This was a hard choice for me as Fall on me was the first track I heard which has given me a lifetime of great music and definately the soundtrack to my life but Nightswimming is the song that always comes first out of my mouth when talking of songs that I love. The only thing that guts me is I will never see it sung live now as every time I saw REM this was not one of the tracks.
