Sing this guys….
Fallen
A few words, a brief encounter,
impressions form.
Time passes
Cordial words turn to secret thoughts
and secret glances,
deepest stirrings unspoken.
Time is made, opportunities created
That build upon the energy.
Spiritual synapses spark
He is falling.
Words soon turn and manifest
into wordless messages through touch.
A tentative hand to face, through hair
Electricity
Time passes
A fateful kiss,
yet ill-conceived
releases a torrent of joy,
open expression, a freedom never felt.
Songs fill his heart
He has fallen.
Love and friendship never known before
overtakes rationale
Heart and soul both overflow
and his uncertain vows forgotten.
Love flies so high
but runs so deep
it breaks in two
the two souls that it engulfs.
Hearts fated to be broken
He is falling
The truth, the fate
that was always known, but pushed away
overpowers endless dreams and wishes
with an overbearing weight.
A choice is made,
but ill-conceived?
The thoughts, the glances
The deepest stirrings
return to being unspoken;
love reluctantly relinquished.
Heart songs are silenced,
Open expression and freedom
return to silent, darkened places
He has fallen

I am shocked and dismayed at the negative response given by REM and critics references to Around The Sun…. I LOVED this album. It is absolutely my favorite of the “trio” albums. I listen to it constantly. If anything, Reveal is my second least favorite, followed by Monster. Up is lyrically great, though it’s more like Stipe and a generic backing track. Around the Sun to me actually sounded more cohesive and thematic….. The fact that they made it as a such a low point is shocking to me….Anyone else out there a fan of ARound the Sun????? Leaving New York is the perfect Stipe song combining personal perspectives wrapped around a 9/11 allusion that is emotionally rich…. I was so upset at the band’s comments on this album that I wanted to find a way for the first time to contact one of them to PLEAD with them not to disparage it any further!
