R.E.M.-sitting still

[dogluver2398]

Wow, never knew what he was really saying until now. Before it was "I like you" or "I like it here" - never would have guessed "I can hear you"

Listed in VH1's top 100 albums of all time, my personal top 5. And to think, I saw them in concert at UGA, Athens, Georgia at Legion Field in Sept 1983 for $1. What a way to start my freshman year in college.......Lucky me.

One day I was really depressed about my parents fighting, bullies, mean teachers. Put Murmur on.

"I'm the son and you're not dead"

I heard that line, and burst in to tears. One line. Complete catharsis.

[Regginyaga]

I'm wasting time sitting still :(

Up to Par and Katie bars the kitchen sign But not me In Setting trap (for the big kill) Wasting time Sitting still I can hear you You can gather when I talk Talk until you're blue You could get away from me Get away from me I'm up To buy Katie buys a kitchen Size But not me In Setting trap for the big kill Waste of time Sitting still I can hear you Can you hear me?

[doctordoctordocism]

This name I got We all agreed See Could stop Stop, it will Red We could bind it in a scythe We could gather Throw a fit Up to Par and Katie bars the kitchen sign But not me In Setting trap (for the big kill) Wasting time Sitting still I'm the sun and you can't read I'm the sign and you're not deaf We could bind it in a scythe We could gather Throw a fit

Whats wrong with Peter Bucks face!!!!oh ..hes smiling

[BizzarreProductions]

Guy who wrote the song (sorry, not an REM fan) said that it's just nonsense syllables. There ARE no lyrics. It just sounds cool.

[ysoserious769]

This is my favorite song by them. My dad actually recorded their first live show in Athens, he was the sound man for the club they played in. Though I admit the live version of that is a bit better, this is still a good song :3

even the though the lyrics make no fucking sense lD

[crimsonwhite1]

best album ever

[LLB61959]

Up to par and Katie buys the kitchen size but not me in sit and try for the big key waste of time sitting still

[deweypug]

I'm the sun when you could read, I'm the sun and you're not there...

"Up to par and Katie bars the kitsch in time but not me in. Sit in time for the big kid, waste of time sitting still."

[deweypug]

Wait in time, nightmares end, I can hear, I can hear, I can hear you .... Can you hear me?

[codern]

good song, lyrics make absolutely no sense, but good song.

[Sid1396]

@codern when ever i listen to the lyrics i always think of this as a love song

[codern]

@Sid1396 agreed!

[doctordoctordocism]

@Sid1396 when ever i listen to the lyrics i always think of this as a wtf? song

[bjorn2run]

@codern Agree. Lyrics make no sense. I always made up my own. Nevertheless, the song still one of my favorites from one of the best albums of the 80s.

[whpriol1]

@codern A lot of the lyrics to REM songs don't make sense, but they are still great songs.

[codern]

@whpriol1 100% agreed..its amazing how a band can have odd lyrics yet still communicate them so well

[deweypug]

Murmur is perfection
