As a tribute to the 31 years of music R.E.M. gave, here is my favorite of their songs, Fall on Me. We're going to miss you guys.
LYRICS:
There's a problem, feathers iron
Bargain buildings, weights and pulleys
Feathers hit the ground before the weight can leave the air
Buy the sky and sell the sky and tell the sky and tell the sky
(chorus)
Don't fall on me (What is it up in the air for) (It's gonna fall)
Fall on me (If it's there for long) (It's gonna fall)
Fall on me (It's over it's over me) (It's gonna fall)
There's the progress we have found (when the rain)
A way to talk around the problem (when the children reign)
Building towered foresight (keep your conscience in the dark)
isn't anything at all (melt the statues in the park)
Buy the sky and sell the sky and bleed the sky and tell the sky
(repeat chorus)
Don't fall on me
Well I could keep it above
But then it wouldn't be sky anymore
So if I send it to you you've got to promise to keep it whole
Buy the sky and sell the sky and lift your arms up to the sky
And ask the sky and ask the sky
(repeat chorus, etc.)
@Guaclopez They arent trying to sound like them, so your whole point holds no weight...I like both, theyre both good in their own ways...

Imagine if Coldplay could sound like this... But they can't. So, I wonder why are there so many bands grab them selves if they are mere shadows of REM (or The Smiths and so on...).

Will always remind me of I think it was 87,88. There used to be first fridays art gallery openings in the now defunct River North area of Chicago. It was winter, It was snowing pretty hard that Friday. I was still in my business suit as I had just come out of work. I had a long winter coat which I still have. I walked into this gallery, snow on me and grabbed some white wine (which I now hate). They were playing this song. i will NEVER FORGET.
