I wanna be your Easter bunny I wanna be your Christmas tree I'll strip the world that you must live in Of all its godforsaken greed I'll ply the tar out of your feathers I'll pluck the thorns out of your feet And if I choose your sanctuary I'll want to wash you with my hair I'll want to drink of sacred fountains And find the riches hidden there I'll eat the lotus and peyote I'll want to hear the caged-bird sing I'll want the secrets of the temple I'll want the finger with the ring
Stipe and Yorke are similar arists in my opinion and they perfectly compliment each other's songs. I love Stipe's voice, it's so unique despite its imperfections when live (coming from a BIG fan) and I love Yorke's voice's raw sensitivity. Great bands, great songs.
joke? Its simply not possible to think this is a better version than the one sung by stipe. Yorke suit some songs, like sulk, there there, 2+2=5. But this is wa way to big for him. Buck looks lost throughout the song as he's not sure yorke is still singing.
this is no way a critism of your video but who ever mixed the sound at that gig wants shooting!!! You can't hear Thom for the first verse at all! Thanks for sharing tho, interesting to see
they have rarely played it live and never released as a single, why ? i still don't understand, it could have been a hit...is it because Mike Mills plays lead guitar ?

Isn't Peter Buck on bass instead of guitar on this heartfelt version?

Both cd and dvd are difficult to hear singer. Everybody wants perfect video, sometimes we are lucky to have the video we have. :)
