Posting spam isn't particularly weird,even if you claim it's in the right forum when it isn't. Try Flowers Strewn. That seems to work for everybody else's personal projects.
But nah, carry on playing childish head games in forums about REM's new album combined with home-made video crap.

ETA-- almost forgot. Random clip off youtube. In this one you can hear the song, and no, I didn't make it.
Good old google video.

Thought you were talking to me then.

Took one look at your 18,000 odd posts and got scared.

Oh no, I wasn't talking to you.
My post count is mostly to do do with my being a member of this board since 1998. And my enthusiasm for REM.

My post count is more to do with me lurking on here for years with a general laziness/apathy about posting.

I could tell you, but then Michael Stipe would have to kill you. Softly, with his song.

It just seems a bit like forced eccentricity to me. A bit, I'm obscure and arty just like Michael, type of thing.

I may be coming across a bit nasty like,keeping on and that, which I genuinely am not being. I'll leave it now.

Finally listened to the whole album and I have to say, Walk It Back is a beautiful, great song, and the lyrics fit perfectly. I wouldn't change a thing.

With my tail between my legs I humbly agree.

The line "time, I can not abide" gets me every time. As relatives age, etc I feel that way frequently.

Exactly. And you were spot on about the vocal too.

Great song, possibly my favourite of the album.

I think I'm totally out of sync with REM fans these days, because I struggle to listen to this song and not cringe at how bad it is.  It sounds like the boring old man sequel to Rockville.

[Milsean Cady]

It's a bit...limp. I usually expect something edgier, less straightforward and ballady. But goddamn it, it's really pretty.

[wagtail]

ha.  I just realised I gave a really gendered criticism.  What a hypocrite I am, because I had to fight the urge all those weeks ago to rant about the "teenage girl" thing that you and Matty said.  Still, I think boring old man is more apt for this tune than teenage girl.  And while I think that CIN does have some extremely pretty tunes, and it's been a while seen REM has done that in such a successful way - I just don't think this is one of them.  I'll try to relisten to it without prejudice, later - same with All the Best.

This song is sooo beautiful, I have to admit on first hear of CIN I noted star ratings out of five on first impression, I gave this 2 stars, but just kept coming back to it over again and it has grown on me so much, just like brando and AAAA

Walk it Back is a stunning piece. I try not to overplay it but I always fail. In my opinion it's the best R.E.M. ballad since Be Mine.

[Duplo]

agreed !
