Scott, I liked your analysis. I was looking at some Winter Solstice articles tonight and thinking about around the sun, the song. Michael Stipe is an Atheist as I am. I do not subscribe to any religion. We have seen how great this is making the country and world, enough said. I want the sun to shine on me I want the truth to set me free (there is no god. christianity and many other religions are based on sun worship and pagan customs, just like xmas dec, 25th) I wish the followers would lead (the followers or flock would think and not be told what to think.) with a voice so strong it could knock me to my knees (it would make the world a great place, more peaceful) hold on world 'cause you don't know what's coming (the truth for the masses) hold on world 'cause I'm not jumping off (Michael's not going anywhere and neither are people that belive in critical thought) hold onto this boy a little longer (jesus?, himself, religious dogma?) take another trip around the sun (another year?) >Around The Sun- It has a pretty good violin part in the >background, and I love the lyrics it's basically Stipe saying >"I've done a lot of stuff in the past, but don't think that >R.E.M. is finished" >It also has a great closing part, excellent way to end an >excellent album. thought I'd put it out there for discussion.
