The sun reflected in
The back of my eye.
I knocked my head against the sky.
The dragonflies are busy buzzing me.
A seahorse as if we were in the sea.
Half way from coal
Half way from diamond.
My fall knocked a mean chip out of me.
Gathering as far as I can reach.
Perched up on a precipice
And this is what I've seen.
This is all I want,
It's all I need.
This is all I am.
This is all I want,
It's all I need.
A bluejay hectors from the felled Catalpa tree.
Doctorate in science and a theologians dream
The dragonflies are trying to lecture me.
The seahorses as if we were in the sea.
But this is all I want,
It's all I need.
This is all I am,
It's everything.
This is all I want,
It's all I need.
Beat a drum for me
Like a butterfly wing.
Tropical storm across the ocean.
But don't explain I'm sure I'll want to know
Don't forget we're just half way from coal.
This is all I want,
It's all I need.
This is all I am,
It's everything.
This is all I want,
It's all I need.
The lyrics BEAT A DRUM of R.E.M. is also present in the album Reveal (2001)
R.E.M. è stata una band rock americana formatasi ad Athens, in Georgia, nel 1980. Considerati uno dei gruppi più influenti nella formazione dell'alternative rock e dell'indie, R.E.M. sono diventati uno dei gruppi rock più grandi al mondo nei primi anni '90. Inizialmente hanno attirato un seguito underground, ma la loro popolarità è poi sbocciata in un successo mainstream, passando da locali affollati a stadi sportivi e festival durante una carriera che ha attraversato tre decenni. Il gruppo era composto da Michael Stipe (voce), Peter Buck (chitarra), Mike Mills (basso) e Bill Berry (batteria). R.E.M. è nota per il suo sound caratteristico, un mix di melodie orecchiabili, testi poetici e arrangiamenti sperimentali. Alcuni dei loro brani più rappresentativi includono "Losing My Religion", "Everybody Hurts", "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" e "The One I Love". Tra i loro album più importanti ricordiamo "Automatic for the People" (1992) e "Monster" (1994).
