R.E.M. - Everybody Hurts
Posted on: October 16, 2003 | Views: | Comment
It's the roadside rapture for R.E.M.in this cut from Automatic for the People as a traffic jam gives angelic singer Michael Stipe a chance to do some mind reading, Wings of Desire-style. Subtitled lyrics dovetail into the desperate interior monologues of all the lonely people sweltering in the cars. Eventually, everyone decides that they're sad as hell and they're not going to take it anymore. So they just get up and leave their cars right there.
