    The storm that came up strong. It shook the trees and blew away our fear.

    People forget how crazy talented REM were. This was a seminal band in alternative music. Inspiration for Nirvana among others.

      They were also the inspiration for Hootie & the Blowfish, a master class on how to take college rock and capitalize on it

    This could be the saddest dusk ever seen
    You turn to a miracle high-alive
    My mind is racing as it always will
    My hands tired, my heart aches
    I'm half a world away, here
    My head sworn to go it alone and hold it along
    Haul it along and hold it
    Go it alone, hold it along
    And hold
    Oh, the lonely deep sit hollow
    I'm half a world, half the world away
    My shoes are gone, my life spent
    I had too much to drink
    I didn't think, and I didn't think of you
    I guess that's all I needed
    To go it alone and hold it along
    Haul it along and hold it
    Blackbirds, backwards, forwards and fall
    And hold
    Oh, this lonely world is wasted
    Pathetic eyes high-alive
    Blind to the tide that's turned the sea
    The storm, it came up strong
    It shook' the trees and blew away our fear
    I couldn't even hear
    To go it alone and hold it along
    Haul it along and hold it
    Go it alone and hold it along
    And hold
    Go it alone and hold it along
    Haul it along and hold it
    Blackbirds, backwards, forwards and fall
    And hold
    Oh, this could be the saddest dusk I've ever seen
    I turn to a miracle high-alive
    My mind is racing as it always will
    My hands tired, my heart aches
    I'm half a world away
    Go...

    My favorite band. I went to 3 of their concerts, 1982, 1985, and 1987, NYC. I have been in love with R.E.M. forever. This song is absolutely beautiful and perfect. Michael Stipe is indescribably beautiful

    This could be the saddest dusk I've ever seen
    Turn to a miracle, high-alive
    My mind is racing, as it always will
    My hands tired, my heart aches
    I'm half a world away here
    And I had sworn to go it alone, hold it along
    And haul it along and hold it
    Go it alone 'n hold it along
    Hold
    Oh, this lonely deeps and holy way
    Half a world, half a world away
    My shoes are gone, my life spent
    I've had too much to drink

    Pathetic eyes, high-alive
    Blind eye that turns to see
    The storm it came up strong
    It shook the trees and blew away our fear
    I couldn't leave it here
    To go it alone, hold it along
    Haul it along and hold it
    Go it alone hold it along

    Turn to a miracle, high-alive
