I've found a way to make you I've found a way A way to make you smile I read bad poetry Into your machine I save your messages Just to hear your voice You always listen carefully To awkward rhymes You always say your name, Like I wouldn't know it's you, At your most beautiful At my most beautiful I count your eyelashes, secretly With every one, whisper I love you I let you sleep I know you're closed eye watching me, Listening I thought I saw a smile
amazing song with superb lyrics...michael stipe excelled himself with this song....best about this is...it aint had much airplay , not many folk know this song ...its sacred..
I work in a grocery store, they've been playing this song for 2 years. I finally decided to try looking for it, and I was in complete shock when I found out it was R.E.M. Yes thats sounds very much like Michael stride...BUt the song sounds nothing like their other stuff. now I can listen to it whenever I like :-)
Because this song was not put out when REM was in it's peak. Unfortunately the record complany's tell the sheeple population what is supposed to be popular and good.
I actually liked the fact that not too many people know this song. I feel like I have my own secret that I don't want to share with anybody.
REM are one of the very few bands/singers who have not sold out to corporate greed. I saw them live in Australia in 2005, my wife was not a huge fan, but afterwards she was. They played this song, it was one of the highlights of the concert.
@starsweet4 I also heard it at the Auburn Mall in Maine. I ran into the FYE and asked the girl working there if she knew the artist. She didn't and should be as ashamed as me for not knowing it was REM! Thanks for replying starsweet4!
this is a truly stunning song. Strangely, it reminds me of the Beach Boys at their creative peak in the 60's...i think its the instrumentation (check out brian wilson's smiley smile album for examples).
this song and the whole album of UP has a place in my heart. Pure poetry can only become muddled beautifully with the noise of music sweeping it along into our minds, hearts, and ears. It washes us clean and clings on to us tight, praying we may never go away. and by only embracing that beautifully muddled poetry, can we fully understand its full potential becoming even more powerful than what we first envisioned it to be. Dim eyes can be brightened by the right words.

Thank you R.E.M. I will never forget you!!! What wonderfull 31 years!
'the skill in attending a party is knowing when it's time to leave.'
Leaving R.E.M never easy,
I saw the light fading out.
Find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart,
Find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart.
I told you, forever, I love you, forever, forever, forever...

I read bad poetry
Into your machine
I save your messages
Just to hear your voice
You always listen carefully
To awkward rhymes
You always say your name,
Like I wouldn't know it's you,
At your most beautiful
Awesome lyrics :)
