R.E.M.
“All the Best”

I’ll hold the mirror up
you tell me what is what
you tell me which part of my story stuck stuck stuck
I’m in a part of your dreams
that you don’t even understand
it’s just like me to overstay my welcome, man
let’s sing and rhyme
let’s give it one more time
let’s show the kids how to do it
fine fine fine

In retrospect, I can’t believe none of us could tell that R.E.M. were trying to say goodbye to us on Collapse Into Now.

All the best…best…best. 

Bands come and go. This one hurts a little more than most.

  10. agrammar said: I know — apparently we’re all so used to thinking of bands as bidding for relevance, or justifying their existence (haha or our coverage of them?) that nobody noticed this one was putting on jackets and getting their things…
