R.E.M.

R.E.M. was an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills and drummer Bill Berry. One of the first popular alternative rock bands, R.E.M. gained early attention due to Buck's ringing, arpeggiated guitar style and Stipe's unclear vocals. R.E.M. released its first single, "Radio Free Europe", in 1981 on the independent record label Hib-Tone. The single was followed by the Chronic Town EP in 1982, the band's first release on I.R.S. Records. In 1983, the group released its critically acclaimed debut album, Murmur, and built its reputation over the next few years through subsequent releases, constant touring, and the support of college radio.

 Struggling with Hope? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

You want to go out Friday 
And you want to go forever. 
You know that it sounds childish 
That you've dreamt of alligators. 
You hope that we are with you 
And you hope you're recognized 
You want to go forever 
You see it in my eyes. 
I'm lost in the confusion 
And it doesn't seem to matter 
You really can't believe it 
And you hope it's getting better 

You want to trust the doctors 
Their procedure is the best 
But the last try was a failure 
And the intern was a mess. 
And they did the same to Matthew 
And he bled 'til Sunday night 
They're saying don't be frightened 
But you're weakened by the sight of it 
You lock into a pattern 
And you know that it's the last ditch 
You're trying to see through it 
And it doesn't make sense 
But they're saying don't be frightened 
And they're killing alligators 
And they're hog-tied 
And accepting of the struggle 

You want to trust religion 
And you know it's allegory 
But the people who are followers 
Have written their own story. 
So you look up to the heavens 
And you hope that it's a spaceship 
And it's something from your childhood 
You're thinking don't be frightened 

You want to climb the ladder 
You want to see forever 
You want to go out Friday 
And you want to go forever. 
And you want to cross your DNA 
To cross your DNA with something reptile. 
And you're questioning the sciences 
And questioning religion 
You're looking like an idiot 
And you no longer care. 
And you want bridge the schism, 
A built-in mechanism to protect you. 
And you're looking for salvation 
And you're looking for deliverance 
You're looking for deliverance 
You're looking like av idiot 
And you no longer care. 
You want to climb the ladder 
You want to see forever. 
You want to go out Friday 
You want to go forever.
