I heard the first few notes of the intro and knew I liked the song, but couldn't place it immediately (got quite a lot of music floating around in my brain lately!) I agree - Automatic For The People is a great CD.

That accordion in the background saves this one! One of the few post late 80s REM songs that are decent. I will give it a 6.

Maybe they like John Denver?
John was a decent pilot. |

I don't know what it is about this song. I feel like it is summarizing my entire life up until this point. I've always loved it, I still love it.
Some of the last of the best from REM, who were in a class by themselves.
