I love that step down from G to E... "...well hang on," G, F, E "Cos everybody hurts..." It's that 6/8 time, again - a lovely song to fingerpick on guitar. I think Stipe said that it's about surviving high school... As some Russian bloke said "only the soulless have no need for melancholy".

Sorry to hear about you losing your friend. It is so hard to understand why it happened and you tend to question yourself wondering what you could have done to help. Even the closest friends can't always change someones mind that feels there is no end to the sadness they feel. I myself have been through it myself, and I am lucky to say that I was strong enough to find a reason to continue on.

R.E.M. as a word it is REM. It has different meanings in different contexts. The one I prefer is Rapid Eye Movement - that time in our sleep when we dream and our eyes look in all directions under the lids. R like Rabbit E like Elephant M like Me. There is not a breath said before saying each letter (in English that is). It is like the first 3 letters of "Remember" "REM". We are all connected. If you feel you have too much pressure, my recommendation is to get involved with someone else and get your mind off yourself. It will heal you. Love your reaction to this very special song. You have a beautiful soul.

That song has a lot of meaning to me after watching my son fight addiction for 20 years. After many times in rehab he just quit on his own because of his 2 year old niece and 10 month old nephew. Twenty years of crying didn’t work, but hearing a 2 year old say…Uncle Mike did it for him. And writing this makes me tear up. Tomorrow we celebrate one year of sobriety with a steak dinner.
