Annotated REM lyrics, wherein public users can expand each of Mr. Stipe's constant andf naturally opaque strings of references. For example, a line from "Fall on Me" -
"Feathers hit the ground before the weight can leave the air"
bury magneyts ha. its a ref. to the towrer of pisa and some exper. about dropping lead weights and feathers. but you all knew that. [Stipe, on AOL] * He said that a hammer and a feather will hit the ground at the same time if there is no air. In fact they tried an experiment on the moon (where there is no air) with a hammer and a feather. The astronaut dropped them both at the same time, and they hit the ground at the same time. It was quite spectacular to watch really. [Joe Locke]
That these users seem hardly accurate keeps the idea from at all diminishing Mr Stipe's intentions.
