I have a hard time believing that explanation. It's a beautiful song, but loaded! For me... it sounds like they're involved in an Illuminati ritual. "11 GALLOWS on your sleeve". Standing to soon. 12 bloodline families. 1 group GETS to go. Somebody is in charge of them. Put your dress on...We GET to leave. Somebody had their dress off for a reason. Stay real close. (He's protecting someone). Notice how Michael nods solemnly and raises his hand as if to say he gets no choice. They are laying it out for you here. They get to leave because no one was a sacrifice. Who was sacrificed prior?? MANY- Kurt Cobain, River Phoenix to name a few...list is long. Hollywood is a dark place. REM gives you plenty hints in their lyrics and music.

Peter's confusing the hell out of me. He's playing with a capo, which he almost never does, but even though it's on the second fret he's still playing in the correct key. What gives? Is his 12-string tuned a whole step down to D?
@jimbailey56813 жыл бұрын
He wanted to play open position chords. The capo made that easier
@dontfeedthemilkshake3 жыл бұрын
@@jimbailey5681 I could see that, but capo 2 doesn't really work for F chords. Do you think his guitar is tuned down? Watching his chord shapes, I feel like that has to be the case. Regardless I don't see why Peter felt the need to do that, he played 12 strings throughout the 80's and had .13 guage strings, so I wonder what compelled him to switch things up for this.
@jimbailey56813 жыл бұрын
I think he was using Peter Holsapple's 12-string, which I believe was tuned down. I guess since it's such a pain to retune a 12-string, the easiest route was to use a capo. I've not seen 'Tourfilm' in years, but I do remember seeing a few shots of Holsapple playing that guitar to supplement Peter's playing. Puzzles me too, but that's all I can figure

Two reasons why I made the comment. 1. Because Stipe himself has spoken about that hair cut and how bad it was and B. because his barber should have been arrested for it. Was never fixated with it when watching Tourfilm all those years ago and obviously it's more about him singing live in concert and being able to front his band which he does here admirably. Bill has such a feeling for this song and that makes sense since he wrote the music for it.
