R.E.M. - Oh My Heart (with lyrics)

From their new album "Collapse Into Now"

Lyrics:

the kids have a new take
a new take on faith
pick up the pieces
get carried away
i came home to city half erased
i came home to face what we faced

this place needs me here to start
this place is the beat of my heart

oh my heart
oh my heart
(oh my heart)
oh my heart
oh my heart
(oh my heart)

storm didn't kill me
the government changed
hear the answer call
hear the song rearranged
hear the tress, the ghosts and the buildings sing
with the wisdom to reconcile this thing

it's sweet and it's sad and it's true
how it doesn't look bitter on you

[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/oh-my-heart-lyrics-rem.html ]


oh my heart
oh my heart
(oh my heart)
oh my heart
oh my heart
(oh my heart)

Mother and father
I stand beside you
the good of this world
might help see me through

this place needs me here to start
this place is the beat of my heart

oh my heart
oh my heart
(oh my heart)
oh my heart
oh my heart
(oh my heart)

If people think Mr. Stipe & Co. are over the hill they need only listen to this BEAUTIFUL piece of music. They're as good as they maybe ever have been. Get the album out now, please!

Cracker of a song! REM at their brilliant best, not scared to delve into the past to draw inspiration for a moving song with the help of Jacknife Lee bringing the subtlety of melody,lyrics, catchy guitar loops and mike superb vocals all together!

A great Album and a very great Song, but not at all the best, what will for always be all Songs on Automatic for the People...

[Mattpresley]

Thank you, gentlemen. Thank you for being my absolute favorite band for many, many years. Your end is like losing a old friend.

What a fucking GREAT song!!!!!!!!!!

[suckittomcat]

The bridge is weak like some of the other songs on this album. Good songs, but just shy of great. Lots of potential. This song is sweet and heartbreaking. I live in MA but they have had it really rough in New Orleans for too long. The government and the "charities" fkd them over.

[suckittomcat]

Great tribute to New Orleans. Sweet song. Speaking some of the lyrics cheapens the performance a little. Makes it sound like Neil Diamond or something. Mr. Stipe's singing has improved over the years. He always had the potential to sing higher notes but couldn't seem to get how to do it. If only he had taken a few voice lessons. He could've tapped into his full range much sooner. Great album. I hope they tour live with some of these songs.

[Picnicl]

The verses sound a bit like Disappear off Reveal reworked. It's easier to listen to though and better than most music on the radio.
