Here's a classic example of the dual texture of REM: musically, this is a straight ahead pop song. There are big fat drums, droning bass, simple shimmering guitars, and a sweet lift in the chorus. Lyrically and emotionally this song is conflicted, murky, and just plain odd. Try this, keep Michael's melody line but replace the words with the lyrics to "Eight Days a Week". It kinda fits... sorta.
