Beautiful song. One of their best.

[@FreddyFredou]

I totally agree ! 🤩

Summer of 94. Was 17 and had my first apartment and serious girlfriend, a beautiful red headed french girl who, for some reason was crazy in love with me. Drinking the best cheap wine we could afford and tasting it on each other. We had our whole lives ahead of us and thought we'd never get tired of spending entire days naked in bed together in my cheap studio apartment I didn't know it at the time but those were some of the best days of my life. These are the memories this album brings me.

I feel like that different circumstances, same sort of feel. Peace bro 🙏

Mike Mills - the bass is magnificent. I love the bass line on this song. And every R.E.M. song.

[@CL-fh1bd]

Lyrics: I don't know why you're mean to me When I call on the telephone And I don't know what you mean to me But I want to turn you on, turn you up, figure you out I wanna take you on These words, "You will be mine" These words, "You will be mine", all the time The fool might be my middle name But I'd be foolish not to say I'm going to make whatever it takes Bring you up, call you down, sign your name, secret love Make it rhyme, take you in, and make you mine These words, "You will be mine" These words, "You will be mine," all the time, oh I tripped and fell, did I fall What I want to feel, I want to feel it now And now with love come strange currencies And here is my appeal I need a chance, a second chance, a third chance, a fourth chance A word, a signal, a nod, a little breath Just to fool myself, to catch myself, to make it real, real These words, "You will be mine" These words, "You will be mine," all the time, oh These words, "You will be mine" These words, they haunt me, hunt me down, catch in my throat, make me pray Say, love's confined, oh

This song is perfection!

[@tdsguitar84]

Heard this on the radio last year and was reminded of the genius that is REM. What a song. Have been obsessively listening to this since then it appeared in the Bear as well! A song that feels like it could have been released this year its that good.

A melhor faixa do monster... É ouvir e saber que é o R.E.M. Stipe inconfundível cantor !

[@marcossantana1744]

Essa voz tem algo diferente... algo peculiar do Michel

[@StevenBray-o4m]

Just great.

Saudades dos tempos em que eu ia comprar um CD no dia do lançamento

[@patricia382]

Brilliant, brilliant,brilliant

[@Picnicl]

Despite Strange Currencies being written before it, this is, in effect, like the sequel to 'Be Mine' from New Adventures in Hi-Fi. The whole thing is about an idealist obsessive.

[@shannonattridge7170]

Michael Stipe is a genius lyricist.

[@timmyteaching]

monster is miraculously underrated.

[@SpaghettiKillah]

The new master is *A LOT LOUDER* vs the original one. Still, they managed to not over-blow the levels (barely so). Michael's voice is more forward in the mix also 👍🏻

[@espojespo5]

Yeah definitely don't care for it. The original sounded way more expansive and ambient, which is the perfect sound for the doo wop feel of the song.

[@robospungo7338]

@@espojespo5 The only remasters I’ve ever preferred over the original is the recent Giles Martin Beatles remasters.
