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.

As the sun comes up  as the moon 
Goes down 
These heavy notions creep around 
It makes me think 
Long ago I was brought into 
This life a little lamb 
A little lamb 
Courageous  stumbling 
Fearless was my middle name. 
But somewhere there I 
Lost my way 
Everyone walks the same 
Expecting me to step 
The narrow path they've laid 
They claim to 
Walk unafraid 
I'll be clumsy instead 
Hold my love me or leave me 
High. 

Say "keep within the boundaries if you want 
To play." 
Say "contradiction only makes it harder." 
How can I be 
What I want to be? 
When all I want to do is strip away 
These stilled constraints 
And crush this charade 
Shred this sad masquerade 
I don't need no persuading 
I'll trip, fall, pick myself up and 
Walk unafraid 
I'll be clumsy instead 
Hold my love me or leave me 
High. 

If I have a bag of rocks to carry as I go 
I just want to hold my head up high 
I don't care what I have to step over 
I'm prepared to look you in the eye 
Look me in the eye 
And if you see familiarity 
Then celebrate the contradiction 
Help me when I fall to 
Walk unafraid 
I'll be clumsy instead 
Hold my love me or leave me 
High. 

Walk unafraid 
I'll be clumsy instead 
Hold my love me or leave me 
High.
