1-14: Hairshirt vs. Gardening at Night

The Eponymous version was the only one I knew for decades.

I don't remember getting all of this love when I drafted 11 on my REM team. Pricks.

I'm sure I was a supporter.

11th untitled song is probably a top 5 REM song for me.

It's close, I agree.

So, I actually talked a bit about my thoughts on Gardening at Night in the Cuyahoga thread, but it's one of the songs I immediately think of when I think about R.E.M. It's mysterious without putting on airs or a front; when you read about the 'Southern' aspect of the band, which may at times have been overrated or at least misunderstood, you can hear it in this kind of song; it's just coming from somewhere else.

It sounds corny, but I remember seeing the band at their hall of fame induction ceremony and watching them perform this song, and it was really moving. It's a heartfelt but individualistic statement of a song.

It seems like a pick that I would be pissed at your for taking, so maybe my love for the song was hidden behind the anger.

Everyone pretty much s'd my d over that pick. I feel terrible now.

[Norah]

You should feel terrible.
