I Am A Huge Music Freak, I Love Music

REM once vowed never to do a "love song" because they were like Hallmark cards,cheesy and mawkish. Even the songs they did that were considered "love Songs" were mostly spoofs.
But I think this captures love in its full adolescent aspects while still being serious and I love the video

I love the way Michael's voice seems to have such emotion inside it.
When it kinda...cracks at just the right moment in a song. 🖤

Yes ,he really is a genuine talent. His lyrics also set him apart from other frontmen

@bookerdana: I agree. He seems to have the temperament of an artist as well. Have you seen them live. I have...only once.
You have just managed to get me lost in their songs....I went to YouTube and couldn't stop...listening to his amazing voice while watching lightening outside my window....feeling the cool air from the storm.
Thank you for sharing.

T his is kind of obscure,its from "Unplugged" Mike Mills has a serviceable enough rock voice but Stipe goes over,under and around Mills lead
