What a fitting song! It kind of feels like the end of the world lately. Personally, I’m feeling pretty fine, but people I know seem to be struggling, and that itself stresses me out more than the actual pandemic stuff. It’s hard to help people in times like these, especially while we’re social distancing.
How are you doing during all of this? I hope you’re doing fine as well. It’s a little boring being stuck inside all of the time for most people, but I’m pretty used to it. I’m not a person who likes to go out to bars or anything like that. Concerts, going out for dinner, and going to the movies are some of the things I miss, but I don’t do them all that often, so maybe it just hasn’t been long enough yet that I am going stir-crazy not being able to do those things.
Side note: do you want to know what I’ve always thought was weird? When R.E.M. played this song live, Michael Stipe needed to read the lyrics from a sheet of paper. Now, I know there are a lot of words to this song, but wouldn’t you think he’d be able to memorize them? Especially some people who aren’t even the singer of R.E.M. have them memorized.
This post is part of an ongoing series in which I document the songs which are in my head immediately upon waking. I’ve been making them for a long time now.
Do you wake up with songs in your head on a regular basis? What song was in your head this morning? Comment below, I’d love to hear from you!
