I liked the 'Monster' album. A refreshing change after the highly produced 'Automatic for the people'. Playing it now RUMBABA

"Losing My Religion"...I spent the entire day locked in my apartment when it was completely sealed as asbestos was taken from the building....I had been given the c.d the night before and played this track all day! <violin>

Oh, life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up

(chorus)
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight, I'm
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
Consider this
Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

(repeat chorus)

But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try?
That was just a dream
Just a dream, just a dream
Dream... .... ... ... ... <magic>

From R.E.M. Out of time album 1991....fab!

I was a fan (thanks to a friend) of REM long before they became famous the world over ...they have composed and made a lot of great music and Michael Stipe was a great front man despite being very shy....

Here he is singing an REM favourite of mine, showing off his lovely blond locks.....

Fall On Me

...a few more favourites

Near Wild Heaven

Perfect Circle from their first album

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zqlr0v3NitY

At My Most Beautiful

and I love this cover of Syd Barrett's Dark Globe by them ...

Yep, I think you can safely say I am a fan.... ;) they leave a legacy of some great/beautiful songs!

I'm afraid I rather lost interest a long time ago.

"Fables Of The Reconstruction" is by far the one I play most.
It seems to say more about where they came from than any other album; it has a nice Southern, "swamp" feel about it.
