Grew up as a black kid in a, shall I say, impoverished neighbourhood. My Mum’s new boyfriend introduced me to REM. Never looked back.

What about when you're reversing your car.

[@6figureceleryjfs378]

Music is the best of humans.

[@evelynzlon9492]

I'm black too. This song is about the Mona Lisa, a "simple prop" whom Da Vinci cherished and toted with him wherever he went. The Mona Lisa is actually the image of the beast from the sea discussed in the Bible's Revelations. Da Vinci himself was one head of the beast in fact. He's a vampire who can age backwards, and he's also been known as Otto von Bismarck and Adolf Hitler. These 2 statesmen were stylistically different but their underlying bone structure was identical. And the German King at the time voluntarily conferred all of his power and authority to Prince Otto for some strange reason. This unprecedented event parallels the Biblical description of the beast's ascent to power. Here's the catch: America was originally ordained by God as a free land for whites. For the Gentiles specifically, which is virtually inclusive of all whites. Therefore I have a neutral attitude towards the fact that my great-great-great grandpa Otto is the Devil. This song fills my heart with sentimental nostalgia although I know exactly what it's about.

"A simple prop to occupy my time" Damn, that's cold, Michael.

[@evelynzlon9492]

Altogether this song is reminiscent of old European nobility whose nearest neighbors were miles away. Transportation took forever in the horse-and-carriage days, so these people would usually only gather for special occasions like balls, weddings and affairs of state. Their social skills were very formal by our standards because meeting people wasn't an everyday thing. And they learned to love their valuables, their "simple props" more than other people. These sentiments are enjoying a resurgence in our 1% era and Stipe was ahead of the game with this song.

[@TheMeanArena]

@@evelynzlon9492 He's talking about a woman.

[@evelynzlon9492]

@@TheMeanArenaA little of both. The Mona Lisa was Da Vinci's favorite simple prop. He brought her with him everywhere he went, like she was an actual human companion. The Mona Lisa really blurs the distinction between 'she' and 'it'. But she is a product of this low-tech feudal era, where the aristocrats and their similarly landowning friends went a little kooky from isolation. They probably had imaginary friends and whatnot.

[@evelynzlon9492]

@@TheMeanArena However Hell is other people. I can't remember which author said that but it's very true. Just because the nobility lived out in the middle of nowhere doesn't mean they were sad. They may have been eccentric but for the most part I think they were happy.

[@evelynzlon9492]

@@TheMeanArena The Mona Lisa's alternative title is La Giaconda, which means jocund. How great it is never to have to interact with the f**king a**holes in this world. This song really captures the whole attitude.

[@tonbrw602]

Back in the early 80’s my sister’s boyfriend saw R.E.M. play when he was in college. They split up, and she never forgot him. She died from Covid and I got word from him. Although my sister and he had both lived different lives, he said she had been the love of his life. Perhaps the band wrote this song about people being used, perhaps drugs. To me it will always be a man crying it out to a lost love, the “prop” being the actual words, or poetry, of the song. ❤️

[@1220b]

Dam that's deep. Ive never forget the love of my life. And your might be right about the prop thing... Sorry to her of your bereavement.

[@stargazer9990]

I don't think some get what a prop is...

[@evelynzlon9492]

It's about the Mona Lisa. She was a simple prop whom Da Vinci loved. He brought her with him everywhere he went, like she was a helpless child he had to look after. This portrait was allegedly Da Vinci in drag. The cross dresser in this video has similar hair to the Mona Lisa and her facial features resemble Da Vinci's. The Mona Lisa is actually the image of the diabolical Beast from the Sea described in the Bible. That's how I know the drag queen resembles Da Vinci. He's still alive and I've watched the videos he's made under another of his pseudonyms. The scenes where the drag queen has one foot in a pedicure soaking bowl represents the Beast's amphibious nature. It has 2 habitations of both land and sea.

Because of the wording, you can interpret the simple prop line to mean something other than the person. I would have probably thought it referred to the song being a simple prop to occupy the singers time (maybe when they are apart) It doesn't really make sense to me that a person you love is "a simple prop to occupy my time" it's like saying "this is for the person I love, but I don't really love you I'm just using you."

R.E.M. was one of the greatest bands of my childhood ❤️❤️❤️🎸🤘

One of their absolute best - seeing this performed live was awesome!

[@duduburd]

I have been searching for this song for 10 years. Unable to remember a lyric or even the name of the band. Until one day I heard one of their songs on the radio and knew that voice. Very nostalgic to have found this.

[@lindsdayhincksman2347]

I know the feeling a song from long ago but u don't know the name or the band but when u find it....GOLD! 🌬🌻

This is unfortunately how love is given by too many people. It's not love at all just a tool or distraction and everyone of them is interchangeable.

shiny happy people is supposed to be sad. the happiness is deliberately overdone so much that it just becomes ironic and disturbing.

This reminds me of junior high. I used to see the video on MTV after school. I was so mesmerized by music back then. I'm not sure what happened to talented artists. Sigh, what a weird and confusing world we live in today.
