R.E.M. live in Stockholm - Electrolite (intro) - 07/09/08

Best concert EVER, best band EVER, best song EVER and best birthday present EVER.
I'm in love...
R.E.M. live at Globen, Stockholm on the 7th of Sep '08, performing Electrolite.

"(I look great).
I'm really...
...It's a joke.
It's a joke that I first tried out by accident on a bunch of people from Los Angeles, California, ... that I work with and I hadn't seen in a long time and they came walking at me eight of them, one time, and I said 'I look great'. At the same time they all said 'You look great'. Mmm... Only I got the joke... apparently...
But that's Los Angeles and that's Southern California and this song is about Los Angeles and Southern California. This is called Electrolite.

Your eyes are burning holes through me
I'm gasoline
I'm burning clean

Twentieth century go and sleep
You're Pleistocene
That is obscene
That is obscene

You are the star tonight
Your sun electric, out of sight
Your light eclipsed the moon tonight
Electrolite
You're out of sight..."
