you was maybe the last song i got into on monster and its probably in my top 3 on that album at this point. such a sexy song. great lyrics. plus it reminds me a bit of binky, a personal favorite.

did i dream you were a tourist in the Arizona sun?
i can see you there with lunar moths and watermelon gum
i woke up in the sleeping bag with nowhere left to run
youre standing in the bathroom telling me its all in fun.


diminished has pretty goid music but ive never liked the lyrics and in general Stipes performances on Up (the vocals i like the least except for around the sun) are not strong enough to overcome song elements im not crazy about

Diminished easily, what a great song. Every time the "sing along" part comes I get goosebumps

[Kevin Davis]

I had to listen to these two -- "Diminished" is cool but this one pretty clearly goes to "You." In my mind those last 3-4 "Monster" tracks all kind of blend together, but when I listen to them I clearly remember each one's words and melody and structure, and each one is uniquely great. I could live inside "Monster"'s big, cavernous guitar sound.

Maybe I should listen to Monster again sometime, I never really pay attention to the last 4 songs other than Let Me In, especially "You". No way I change my vote tho.

[Norah]

I just listened and changed my vote to You.

[Rangi Guy]

Diminished should make its way to the finals at least!

[Norah]

switch your vote, chewm

[chewm]
