Know that saying, "you don't know how much you miss something until it's gone?" After 31 years, it's kind of hurts to see one of the greatest (non-overrated) college rock bands cease to exist, even if it is an amicable breakup. Even though I never listened to them much, and all 4 former members are alive, it still feels like somebody died. Michael Stipe, Peter Buck, Mike Mills (and Bill Berry): we will miss you. I'm pretty sure everybody's heard of "Radio Free Europe," one of the biggest quote unquote "alternative" anthems, but let's all listen to it to celebrate R.E.M.
And this one of, if not the best song off Automatic For The People (GET THE ALBUM). It's a great song to just lay on the bed to in the dark, and just think.
The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago
Turned around backwards so the windshield shows
Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse
Still it's so much clearer
