Welcome back R.E.M. fans! Yes, it's been a little while, and yes, we're going out of order again, for.... reasons. But I hope you don't mind for the sake of this beautiful song.
One thing that surprised me - with just three verses, this felt like a fairly short song. It was only after uploading here that I noticed this was over 5 minutes, and the album version is 5:28, the longest song on Reckoning, and it would be their longest album track until it was exceeded by Leave (7:17) and Be Mine (5:32) on NAIHF
