Me!! Jesus....that opening shimmered in out of nowhere and took me right back to 1995 and 15 year old me. The timing of the dialogue in that scene was beautiful ' you know with love comes strange currencies' I only realise how lyrically perfect this track is as a 42 year old. Had it going round my head all day at work

Always liked REM. This song came out as I was turning 30 and was busy with career, starting family etc. So I never heard it. This past Holiday Season my son was in MSK hospital when his cancer returned. One day on ride home, amongst the holiday music on radio, I heard this song and not knowing what it was about felt how sad it was and it was about missed love. It stuck with me and I would play it every time on way home from hospital as my son’s health deteriorated. He passed in late January and this song always reminds me of my son and that time. Love you forever buddy. 🥲

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 want to take you on These words, you will be mine These words, you will be mine, all the time Now fool might be my middle name But I'd be foolish not to say I'm going to make whatever it takes Ring 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 I tripped and fell, did I fall What I want to feel I want to feel it now You know with love comes 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 And make it real, real These words, you will be mine These words, you will be mine, all the time These words, you will be mine These words haunt me, hunt me down, catch in my throat Make me pray, to say love's confines, oh

Find the sayings/songs/thoughts that help you in dark times - keep them close to you. We share lonely times with a world full of lonely people, so you are really never alone - just need to find the ones with the love and comfort for you - you don’t need the rest (save the haters for themselves). Sometimes dealing with healing is a process that unravels over time, you can’t rush it, just let it unfold with time. Be strong/safe and loved.

Thankfully everything worked out... Found the love of my life, 26yrs and three great kids later, but this song still brings me back to that lovesick 25yr old self...

The people I admire the most include Emil Gilels, Walter Gieseking and other pianistic greats some of whose rare recordings I uploaded on my channel. And yet I realize that valorizing “real instruments”, as if electronic music were somehow a lesser cultural form, is the telltale sign of a dullard with limited perspective on art and society.
