Losing My Religion

My dad has been a big fan of REM for as long as I can remember, which naturally imprinted on my taste in music. I remember going on holiday to Derbyshire when I was about 15, and for the whole car journey I was listening to an REM compilation I had made and reading James Patterson books. So in a strange way, I ended up associating REM with grizzly images. It's a little strange.
Anywho. One of the things I rather like about REM are the way that their lyrics tend not to mean an awful lot, like Placebo's songs. Their lyrics are just a beautiful mesh of lots of words and images that create this strangely overwhelming tapestry. More importantly, their music is amazing enough to make up for this. This twinkling, perfect harmony of guitars and accompanyment... it's bliss.
