at first i didnt like this song...but now i "collapsed into new" and i love it..... i hope REM will be back in some years- but anyway rapid eye movements will never die and i still will be enjoy it to play some REM songs on my little guitar... love you REM, you made my youth and you gave everybody the feelings to be someone special. c u
Why didn't they use this cut on the album. The backing vocals on this take make the song 10 times better. Mike Mills has to be my favorite bassist hands down.
This song has a strange resemblance to "Sing for The Submarine". And "Houston" ("if the storm doesn't kill me, the government will"). Loved Accelerate, so it's great to have this song which reminds me of that album.
@elektrobier666 Indeed, nice reference to Houston from Accelerate. Comparable atmosphere too. The song reminded me of Houston even before I heard that sentence.
@GT2K2 It's also in the same time signature as Houston. It says in the liner notes for the album that it was deliberately meant to continue on from where Houston left off.
One year already...

I wish Mike Mills would let his hair grow back the way it used to be... and make it the wonderful blond it used to be.
He could easily look 20 years younger if he did.
