Like a little digital miner I unearth a harpsichord and strings gem.
R.E.M’s “Half a World Away” has had power rotation with me since Out of Time came out (sidenote: always thought this sound would have flowed better on Green).
Here is the band breaking down my jam on the BBC Late Show No Nirvana circa 1991. Turn it up and sing along like I always do.
My mind is racing
As it always will
My hand is tired, my heart aches
I’m half a world away
