Notes: Serene verses with mumbled, nearly incomprehensible lyrics blend into clearer, emphatic choruses, supported by steady arpeggiated guitars and tight bass; overall jangly and driving without harshness.

Straightforward rocker from R.E.M.'s debut album Murmur featuring Michael Stipe's mumbled vocals over Peter Buck's arpeggios, Mike Mills' addictive bass, and Bill Berry's tight beat.
