People who were teenagers in the 1960s voiced similar sentiments about the music of the '80s.  There's always some kind of "revolution" or "evolution" in popular music; one generally has to be young enough to notice it, because it's often the case that once people get older, they tend to predominantly appreciate music from their own youth.  Anyhow, good song.

For some reason this time the song was really quiet compared to the songs before and after (both quiet songs themselves: Heartbeats by Jose Gonzalez, and Knock Loud by Neko Case).  I don't recall that being the case before.

this song, for some odd reason, resonates in my heart. as close to a perfect pop song as is possible.

Huh... I wouldn't even consider this one of REM's best albums... I can think of at least three better than Murmur...

Having a sure shoulder high in the wind (refers to golf I think, Stipe had a handicap of 7 at the time)

This is a great song, and the recording technique is phenomenal... I remember when this came out in 1983... awesome then, and awesome today...
