That's at least what it always sounded like to me. Keep listening to it, see if I'm wrong.Scott BriggsNYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10513449875990975162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531681977577767399.post-33009983268408869632018-02-15T14:38:39.756-05:002018-02-15T14:38:39.756-05:00Your blog is epic.

I've been listening to REM (caveat: all of it up and through Out of Time) since going to camp in Mentone, AL and hearing the counselors there try to figure out lyrics to Reckoning and I think Fables. Had to have been 1986. Just a wee lad then, I was. Anyway, thanks for breaking down many, many previously unintelligible lyrics.

You can hear it especially live sung by Berry.being stalkedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02237261321413519705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531681977577767399.post-9536474699841966862014-12-26T15:46:44.836-05:002014-12-26T15:46:44.836-05:00Thanks.

There is no way in a million years I would ever have worked out what he is really singing, so thanks for having a go!Nick Lincolnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06735689461118691135noreply@blogger.com
