Easily one of my fav REM songs. They *rock* instead of roll over some abstract (and way overplayed, and overpraised) notion of twister or religion.

Inner sense of hipness: "You should like this song."
The rest of me: "Right on!"

The 12-string riff in this song is straight out of the Beatles' "And Your Bird Can Sing" on the album "Revolver". Interesting that Bill follows it with "I'm only Sleeping", the song just before "Bird" on that album.

Memories of driving my '73 Buick with this cranked up on the long trip to Texas in early 1985. Cassette in the car with Reckoning on one side and Murmur on the other. Good times.

I remember getting turned on to this and Murmur in late '84 early '85. It was so different from everything else on the radio (except College radio of course). It was nice to have this band as sorta' your own in a way because they were quite obscure until the latter part of the '80s. It brings back fond memories.

Can't rate any R.E.M. song lower than an 8!  |

My view on REM: Fantastic when fast, sorry when slow. Little question where this song fits.

One thing I've learned in Radio Paradise is hearing R.E.M. many many times a day without complaint (at least, not so much)...
