A hidden gem on the B side of "Document", this tune feels as if it were built around the hesitant snap of the drum pattern. Lyrically, it's somewhat repetitive, but when you have evocative lines like, "hang up your chairs to better sweep/clear the floor to dance/shake the rug into the fireplace" I think it bears repeating.
One oddity featured here is the occasional penchant the boys have to include a sax solo. Sometimes the sax works, (hi there, Can't Get There From Here), sometimes it's just part of the orchestration (going for Baroque in Endgame), or as in this song where it's striving for riffiness, ala Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street. Watch for the REM-Kenny G Christmas album soon.
