The field full of Kudzu featured on the cover of Murmur is alive and well...It's been surprisingly untouched for 28+ years! Filmed on my trip to Athens, GA 8-13-11

It's fascinating to me how young people have an affinity for ruins and decay - almost as if the past speaks to them more clearly than it does to us older folk.

It's beautiful. Kudzu is visually stunning ,yet has the propensity to kill.

Mindblowing...I had no idea it was still around until recently.

@momothemilkman if you search google earth in athens, it is right off the intersection of Chattooga Ave and Hiawassee Ave. There is an opening at this intersection where there are train tracks, you just go to the left on the tracks and walk a half block and the field is on the left of the tracks, just past the houses...once you see that concrete block it all makes sense...

I lived real close to that spot on New Ave. for about 5 years...didn't realize the kudzu field was there till after I moved though!

We were just there a few weeks ago. Played a gig in Athens. Amazing!

@Thatbeat1974 The Kudzu, because I didn't know anything about where the cover was taken until my friend went on the Athens music history tour...I walked into an album cover! That's never happened before!

Thats pretty cool. I think Murmur has a great album cover, really different for that time period.

Wow that little scene has been in my consciousness for decades, so weird to see it as a real thing with train tracks and houses dotted around

The only difference is the ruin on the left. It looks like it crumbled quite a bit over the years. I always wondered what kind of building it once was.

Stumbling on this place is like stumbling upon some enchanted kingdom, or Mesopotamia.

I've been to Athens a few times to check out some of R.E.M.'s history, but I've never been to that spot. Where exactly is that?

what was more impressive the kudzu or the trestle?

Really cool, nice work. You know what might also look good if you could be bothered doing a re-edit? Fading (shaking?) through from your video to the actual cover image and back again. Possibly more trouble than it's worth though, I know.
