When this song was released, I was expecting something MUCH harder, especially coming off the Monster era.... this wasn't what I expected at all... BUT... I'm VERY happy it was released. This is one of my favorite REM songs now.
@nicholsjoshua15 There are lots of good bands nowadays. Try: Poets Of The Fall, Cage The Elephant, Sunrise Avenue, Breaking Benjamen, Muse, Avenged Seven Fold, and many, many more. Alternative Rock, and Heavy Metal and Grunge band are still around but it's just not mainstream it's like R..E. M., and Smashing Pumpkins were in the 1980s. It's waiting to rip out the untalented guts of Rap, Hip-Hop, Pop, Pop-Punk, and Emo Rock's.
@123keryn The song's title refers to the EBow, an electromagnetic field-generating device that induces sustained vibration in an electric guitar string (creating a violin-like effect), and to a "letter never sent" by Michael Stipe. It is believed that the letter in question was written to actor River Phoenix expressing Stipe's concern for his friend's spiraling substance abuse with the letter never being sent due to Phoenix's death; #wikipedia
@nicholsjoshua15 See, the thing is, I love REM. And alt rock in general. What I don't like is people spamming Youtube videos and Myspaces and Facebooks and what have yous trying to get their crappy band noticed. It's cool that you're supporting them, props for that, but seeing like ten comments from you marked as spam or removed automatically made me assume that you were a bot sticking your band's name on random videos. Sorry.
@buddytyree Yeah I had never used a computer for anything but school work and work and didn't know the sacred rules of YouTube. Try some of the bands I mentioned I'm trying to get more people started on new rock so we can have the 1990s again.
