cool tidbit:

Quote

Buck, 54, had toyed with elements of "Hallelujah" since the mid-'80s but never completed it. "The song is dark and difficult and not easy but ultimately kind of transformative," Stipe says.

wonder what "elements" of the song originated in the 80s... probably the chorus, right?

Over in the Ha (We Get Paid For It) Appreciation! thread, LST 390 says this song you posted is "Hallelujah":


"We were listening to the UNC radio (station) there and they were playing an R.E.M. song. I like R.E.M. fine, but at the end of it, the DJ says, 'Ya that was R.E.M., the sound of the new South'. I looked at my roommate and we said, Gawd, if that's the sound of the new South, I preferred it when it was on the skids. That's how we got the name."

I wonder if people would be so hateful if they had no option to post anonymously? I also have to wonder who has the time to seek out articles about bands they obviously don't like just so they can't spit vitriol about them.

None if this is easy to read, but in retrospect, there were so many signs before we saw the cover of Collapse Into Now.

The person that originally posted that didn't appear to be joking until someone called bullshit.

I didn't see anything in that person's post that indicated they weren't being serious. Sarcasm dies a slow death on the internet because it translates so poorly.

That isn't an interview.  That is an article that combined the other interviews that were done.

Haha, I'll come clean and say I was entirely joking on the "Hallelujah" bit - and don't even remember why. Everytime I returned to the thread I saw that I had perpetuated it, and the blatant unlikelihood of my claim continued to amuse me. I post while very tired... :unsure:
