R.E.M. inside out : the stories behind every song

Rosen, Craig2005
Book
Rising from the ranks of the early 80s indie scene, R.E.M. managed to combine worldwide commercial success without compromising their integrity. Along the wat, the band has released an incredible string of masterly albums and classic modern-day anthems like "Losing my religion" and "Everybody hurts". At the heart of R.E.M.'s music are the enigmatic lyrics of singer Michael Stipe. What was he singing about in "The sidewinder sleeps tonite"? What did he mean by "Losing my religion"? This book, featuring orginal interviews with group members, examines all their original songs, revealing the mysteries and inspiration behind some of the most memorable songs of the past 25 years.
