Well done but perhaps a bit too literal for what R.E.M. were doing with their early videos.
Yeah. I can see that, but as far as being a fan made video, it is quality.

I agree and it even has touches of what I would consider to be the R.E.M. aesthetic from that time period, meaning hints of the video for “Radio Free Europe.”
I totally agree, that was really good 
Definitely spot on with the aesthetic. The One I Love, ITEOTWAWKI, LMR, and even All The Best - old/derelict houses are a theme.
Also made me realise that “raze the walls” is another repeating Stipeism.

He’s also used bridge the schizm (sp) a few times
A list was compiled many years ago on Murmurs of Stipe’s oft repeated phrases/words in R.E.M. songs.

From Man on the Moon
Then:
