@bwall05 yeah, I re-listened and I think you're right. does sound like if rather than since and are rather than were. Thanks for the clarification!

@curtiscentercut ....... and apparently it's not on the next album. damn!

Thanks for posting this. I was there and totallly shocked when they did it. I remember everyone, even Jeff Lurie(Eagles owner), singing along.
-
do you have the full concert?
-
it is on live at the olympia
go to the next live show of r.e.m. and hold up a barrel saying "please put "Staring Down the Barrel of the Middle Distance" on the CD" that worked with man-sized wreath on accelerate.

Very, very good song. I hope it will show up on the next R.E.M. album.
Amazing that R.E.M. are in the position to cut out such a great song! That means that they can write easily a bunch of great tunes. Only the very great bands can dot that.
I place R.E.M. in the same league as The Rolling Stones and The Who. Pure geniuses.

I need this song! I love it! I hope it will be release on the Olympia DVD or on the next album:)
What does Mr. J.M. Stipe say there: "This is about something that each of us will face at some point in our lives since we were, in fact very, very, very lucky." Hmm...........

@loxley1999 I always heard it as "if we are, in fact, very, very lucky," which made me think that he was talking about looking back at your life from an old age (hence the "if we're lucky" part). But who knows - I haven't seen the lyrics!
