What are you listening to?


Today when lost men are in the realms of darkness in the domains of darkness From eternity they shall return the old kings will come with the tempest The darkness, you know it is desolating land and sea times without peace, hatred and pain I need to be able to wake up Your heart will lead you to the forgotten kingdom that is alone within you You may be rich, beggar or thief the sores in your heart ache Let us begin again and the kingdom will succeed in saving the earth and all mankind The darkness, you know, is desolating the earth and the sea times without peace, hatred and pain I need to be able to wake up Your heart will lead you to the forgotten kingdom that is alone within you.
 

Lost soldier I want you to be with me That together we cleanse the blood that has been spilled May the silence of some of the lost be preserved And may the memory of those we forget remain alive. The bird no longer sings to me in the morning And only some memory remains dying on my pillow Sometimes I fool myself by reading some rusty book That says the good guys win and the bad guys die And no one will give me back my lost memory And no one will remind me of that forgotten love And a few pennies will fall out of my pockets But nothing matters because you're on my side I'd like to fly away and start all over again I wish I could but I can't anymore, my bones ache Sometimes I fool myself by reading some rusty book That says the good guys win and the bad guys die I remember when I was very young someone told me That when time would catch up with me I would understand I'd like you to see up close what my eyes can see I'd like you to understand that the world is dying a little at a time And no one will give me back my lost memory And no one will remind me of that forgotten love And a few pennies will fall out of my pockets But nothing matters because you're on my side Baby I want you to listen to me and read my lips Maybe tonight drunk I'll tell you that I love you Don't be so cruel and stay till the day comes Stay with me for a while steal my life from me And no one will give me back my lost memory And no one will remind me of that forgotten love And from my pockets will fall a few cents But nothing matters because you're on my side And no one will give me back my lost memory And no one will remind me of that forgotten love And a few pennies will fall out of my pockets But nothing matters because you're on my side But nothing matters because you're on my side
 
REM, Fall On Me. REM were reactionaries in their early 80's formation, deciding never to wear leather and never doing bluesy solos on guitar. Good for them, they crafted a new style of folk rock. From 1983 until 1998 their albums are pretty much all good, which is quite impressive. If you think about it, indie music as it is commonly known was created by these 4 guys, a much needed reaction against coke addled heavy rock cliches.

 
Every prayer, a promise, God! Not once have I forgotten And nothing happens the way I want it to Nothing happens as I dreamed it would And forgive the hate that still comes out of me If we were to say so it would only be lying to you And you know it, I hate lies I miss you blindly so much So much that it chokes me Today is a good day to remember you Between songs that I asked you to listen to That I know you've never laughed or cried As much as you have with me I know it, you know it It's 30 years, 30 years are not few Life just like that without warning destroyed everything well Somebody stop the time Please don't let it happen And let's remind the world who we are And that we could come back I live life trying to be understood Love, friends, relationships, this is time and time again Always only one way, the same I always choose the hardest, the most complex one That's why I always avoid always meeting you And you why are you looking at me if you can touch me? 2013 taught us That you and I don't believe in hate Today is a good day to remember you Between songs that I asked you to listen to That I know you've never laughed or cried As much as with me I know it, you know it It's 30 years, 30 years are not few Life just like that without warning destroyed everything well Somebody stop the time Please don't let it happen And let's remind the world who we are And that we could come back Music is stronger than death itself It heals all my wounds As I defy life Today was a day to remember you Between songs that I asked you to listen to That I know you've never laughed or cried As much as with me I know it, you know it It's 30 years, 30 years are not few Life just like that, without warning, destroyed everything well Tell them all out loud Let them remember, let them remember us The whole world and to wait Because we could come back
