50 Days of R.E.M. # 46 You Are The Everything


A song from Green that points a finger forward. Towards increasing experimentation and not doing the obvious, ultimately towards Losing My Religion and Automatic. Not afraid to sound coy and cute, the band pick up different instruments and Michael emotes. Childlike, awestruck wonder from four adults. Not for everyone, but certainly for me, if they don't take it too far and cross the line over to mawkishness and god-forbid, self -pity. Add a little too much sugar which they do start to do occasionally for my tastes at this point. But this is more than fine. I've started to listen to it again recently. Here you get the Tourfilm and Green versions.
