REM: Songs for This Moment

 REM- Feeling Gravity's Pull

I decided that after the waiting watching, reading and writing about Hurricane Sandy on this blog 3 times I was tired. I noticed that Sandy (aka:FRANKENSTORM) was not quite all that it was hyped here in West Philadelphia, I decided that the song Its The End of the World As We Know it was a good song to put on Facebook. I then put it up on my Facebook page.

I just wanted to find some oddball non-hits from REM after that. I found 2 that fit the bill and who's lyrics fit the theme for the last 48 hours.

I like this song Feeling Gravity's Pull. Its got a cool tune and somehow the lyrics fit the times.

It's a Man Ray kind of sky

Let me show you what I can do with it

Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed

When the light is mine, I felt gravity pull onto my eyes,

. REM- Oddfellows Local 151

One of my favorate REM songs since it heavy and so strange kind of like this weather we are having in the last 12-24 hours. Some of this is just hard to understand. One is why is there such a calm at 12:12 AM today October 30? I am sure the storm is still upon us since it has a band of gale force winds 400 miles wide.

I had heard the storm was to remain dangerous till today after 11am or so. Why do you think the Commonwealth closed my office for 2 days.

Well, enjoy this song and enjoy the comments on the YouTube page as well.

truly one of my favorite R.E.M. songs, and without a doubt my favorite album by them. i thought that document was their "opus", while they would have a hit songs on other albums, there truly is not a bad track on this album. i thought this album captured what R.E.M. originally saw as their musical path, and i think every album since they have been stumbling to find it again.

Coincidence?

Methinx not.

On October 3, 1982, Honda brought drag-strip maestro Jay "Pee-Wee" Gleason and a standard V65 to Southern California's Orange County International Raceway to find out. Gleason's 10.92 — second 1/4-mile sprint made the V65 America's fastest production street machine, inspiring ads with one powerfully simple headline:

Bad News Travels Fast.

And the band played on.
