Am I still prevaricating on Reckoning? Yes! But anyway.
An absolute classic of a song, one of my favourites. I thought I'd give it the dramatic Tourfilm intro, although I'm not sure I quite imbued it with the same drama as Stipe. I didn't have a stick for a start.
Musically pretty straightforward. Stipe's vocals are normally in a decent key for me, but the original Em key of this is way too low, it would be a droning mess, so we're up a whole fifth in Am. Bit of guitar, bit of bass, whack on the piano (my skills are not up to much so I keep it simple), and bosh.
Shame the dog didn't think much of it.
