MichaelStipe, the Cubist. Netflix has a new series called "Song Exploder". Each episode takes a famous song and looks at how it was made, recorded, the inspiration behind it. I have watched one episode so far, the song in the spotlight was "Losing My Religion" by REM. I found it fascinating, particularly because the members of REM are Life is bigger It's bigger And you, you are not me The lengths that I will go to The distance in your eyes Oh no, I've said too much I set it up That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight Losing my religion Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no I've said too much I haven't said enough I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try Every whisper Of every waking hour I'm choosing my confessions Trying to keep an eye on you Like a hurt lost and blinded fool Oh no, I've said too much I set it up Consider this The hint of the century Consider this The slip that brought me To my knees failed What if all these fantasies Come flailing around Now I've said too much I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try But that was just a dream That was just a dream That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight Losing my religion Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no I've said too much I haven't said enough I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try But that was just a dream, try, cry, why, try That was just a dream, just a dream, just a dream Dream
Thats me in the corner. That's me in the spotlight. Losing my religion. Em Am Em Trying to keep up with you and I don't know if I can do it. Oh no, I've said too Dm G much. I haven't said enough. [Chorus] F G Am F I thought that I heard you laughing. I thought that I heard you sing. I think I thought Dm7 G Am I saw you try.
The title is a variation on the Southern expression "lost my religion," meaning something has challenged your faith to such a degree you might lose your religion. The song has nothing to do with religion, but the title is significant If you are "losing your religion" over a person, you are losing faith in that person and questioning the lead singer Michael Stipe wrote the lyrics, which he has said are about "obsession" and "unrequited love," which is powerful and dangerous combination. Throughout the song, he is baring his soul, searching for hidden meaning and hopeful signs, but driving himself mad in the process."I love the idea of writing a song about unrequited love," he told Top 2000 a gogo. "About holding back, reaching forward, and then pulling back again. The thing for me that is most thrilling is you don't know if the person I'm reaching out for is aware of me. If they even know I exist. It's this really tearful, heartfelt thing that found its way into one of the best pieces of music the band ever gave me."This song has its origins in guitarist Peter Buck's efforts to try learn to play the mandolin. When he played back recordings of his first attempts, he heard the riff and thought it might make a good basis for a song. Explaining how the song came together musically, Buck told Guitar School in 1991 "I started it on mandolin and came up with the riff and chorus. The verses are the kinds of things uses a lot, going from one minor to another, kind of like those 'Driver 8' chords. You can't really say anything bad about E minor, A minor, D, and G - I mean, they're just good then worked it up in the studio - it was written with electric bass, drums, and mandolin. So it had a hollow feel to it. There's absolutely no midrange on it, just low end and high end, because Mike usually stayed pretty low on the bass. This was when we decided we'd get Peter Holsapple to record with us, and he played live acoustic guitar on this one. It was really cool Peter and I would be in our little booth, sweating away, and Bill and Mike would be out there in the other room going at it. It just had a really magical I'm proud to say every bit of mandolin on the record was recorded live - I did no overdubbing. If you listen closely, on one of the verses there's a place where I muffled it, and I thought, well, I can't go back and punch it up, because it's supposed to be a live track. That was the whole idea."The video was directed by Tarsem Singh, who also did En Vogue's "Hold On" and the Jennifer Lopez movie The Cell. It's a very ambitious video filled with striking, vivid, biblical concept is based in part on Gabriel Garcia Marquez' A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings. The novel tells the story of an angel who falls down from heaven and is displayed for profit as a "freak show." Michael Stipe is a big Marquez fan and the whole idea of obsession and unrequited love is the central theme of the author's masterpiece, Love in the Time of Cholera. The first line of that novel is "It was inevitable the scent of bitter almonds always reminded him of the fate of unrequited love." >>Suggestion credit Gabriela - Santiago, Chile was surprised when their record label chose "Losing My Religion" as the first single from their seventh album, Out Of Time. Running 428 with no chorus and a mandolin for a lead instrument, it didn't seem like hit material, but it ended up being the biggest hit of their career. Their next single, "Shiny Happy People," was much more straightforward. This won the Grammy in 1991 for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Stipe's dancing ties the video together as he moves like he is in the throes of revelation, a contrast to all the other characters who are barely moving. He wasn't supposed to dance The treatment had him singing lines from various poses, but when they shot it that way, it didn't work at all. This put director Tarsem Singh's grand production in jeopardy; he was so upset, he went to the bathroom and threw up. When he emerged, Stipe said, "Let me try to dance."There was no choreography - Stipe just let the spirit move him, and the results were sublime. He says his dancing is a mashup of Sinead O'Connor's moves in her "The Emperor's New Clothes" video and David Byrne's gyrations in his "Once In A Lifetime" remembers being hot and bothered when recording his vocal. His heartfelt lyric needed a certain feel that was hard to achieve in the studio, so he recorded a lot of takes. He wasn't happy with the engineer, who seemed out of it. "I was very upset," he told Top 2000 a gogo. "I also got really hot because I was all worked up, so I took my clothes off and recorded the song almost naked."This was given the working title of "Sugar Cane" when the band demoed it in July 1990 at a studio in to Peter Buck, "Losing My Religion" marked the nexus when went from a respected band with a cult following to one of the biggest bands in the world. He talked about recording the song on the In Time compilation"The music was written in five minutes. The first time the band played it, it fell into place perfectly. Michael had the lyrics within the hour, and while playing the song for the third or fourth time, I found my self incredibly moved to hear the vocals in conjunction with the music. To me, 'Losing My Religion' feels like some kind archetype that was floating around in space that we managed to lasso. If only all songwriting was this easy."A common misinterpretation of this song is that it was about John Lennon's death, with the lyrics, "What if all these fantasies come flailing around" being a reference to Lennon's last album Double Stipe took a laid-back approach with this song "I remember that I sang this in one go with my shirt off. I don't think any of us had any idea it would ever be ... anything," he noted in Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage 1982-2011. Peter Buck added that Warner Bros. didn't even want the song as a single, and everyone was surprised when it took off. "It changed our world. We went from selling a few million worldwide with Green to over 10 million. It was in that area where we had never been before which isn't bad," he was used on Beverly Hills, 90210 in the 1991 episodes "Beach Blanket Brandon" and "Down and Out of District in Beverly Hills"; on Smallville in the 2003 episode "Slumber"; on Glee in the 2010 episode "Grilled Cheesus"; and on Parks and Recreation in the 2013 episode "Filibuster."Peter Buck recalled to Uncut "I bought a mandolin on tour in '87, I think. It became a good songwriting tool. It never occurred to me to play mandolin in a bluegrass style. For me it was a rock instrument."Producer Scott Litt recalled his contribution to Mojo "I remember mixing 'Losing My Religion' at Paisley Park. I had Bill Berry, drums nudging up to me and saying, 'You know, I think the drums could be louder', and he was spot on. The strings and the vocals are maybe more memorable, but the drums are really important. He's even doubling the mandolin figure at the beginning. The last mix on that song was 'drums boosted' and that became the track."When introducing the song during an appearance on MTV Unplugged, Stipe pointed to the audience and said, "This is about you." Mojo asked him what he meant. He replied shrugging, "No idea. It's something I said on a night in 1991. I have no idea why I said it. Of course we attach the narrative in a song to the person with the voice, which is me. And so I get that. But it was not autobiographic."Artists to cover this song include Tori Amos, Lacuna Coil, Trivium and Swandive. Two versions have charted in America the Glee Cast took it to 60 in 2010, and Dia Frampton's version went to 54 in video was the big winner at the MTV Video Music Awards, winning six moonmen, including Video of the Year and Breakthrough about the song on the Netflix show Song Exploder, Michael Stipe revealed the lyrics about obsessional love were heavily influenced by The Police's "Every Breath You Take," which he called "the most beautiful, kind of creepy song."That's me in the cornerThat's me in the spotlightMichael Stipe originally wrote the lyric asThat's me in the cornerThat's me in the kitchen"What I was pulling from was being the shy wallflower who hangs back at the party or at the dance and doesn't go up to the person that you're madly in love with and say 'I've kind of got a crush on you, how do you feel about me?,'" he told Rick Rubin on the Broken Record podcast."There's this whole relationship that's happening only in the person's mind and he doesn't know whether he's said too much or hasn't said enough," Stipe continued. "He's like, in the corner of the dance floor watching everyone dance and watching the love of his life on the dance floor dancing with everyone cause that's the most exciting person. Or, he's in the kitchen behind the refrigerator."Then, one switch of words altered everything. "I changed 'kitchen' to 'spotlight' and instantly of course the song became about me, which it never was," he said.

I'm losing my religion Thank God I prayed about my decision How odd For the man with the mic To be the man all his life While Christ-like stipes did with REM Rev up the RPMs How do I begin to try to paint this sin, of rules? That divides God's people in two In the beginning, religion created a mask The reformation helped but soon the patch didn't last I don't tell, you don't ask So we created a lie And for generations, church was where we went to go hide Or we no longer tried Because rules read our relationship was empty inside Leaves you bitter, dry Swift to cut like a razor Swift to call you a traitor 'Cause you're swift to love Taylor Now we got bad blood with our neighbor Who's wrong, who's right Every Sunday we're divided Who's black, who's white, C'mon Now the man in the mirror never gets race right He'll never be Christ-like Never receive good pay So your faith never rises above minimum wage So when it's time to save the world You don't know what to say To your brother that you love when he tells you he's gay Do you push him away? Judge him down till he leaves? Give him a gospel he hears or a gospel he sees Love wrapped in truth is the gospel he needs There's room at the cross for everyone, even me Well, my sins are now clean The loss now redeemed Religion is a prison but truth sets us free Helps us believe That the world we're in now is not the world that will be Terror, famine, disease Millions in poverty Hungry, can't sleep With all of this religion, why these babies can't eat? And if the middle class is gone, how can America see? How can America breathe? When the oxygen is gone from the American dream And these American streets listen close as they speak The next time you think America please include me Help the ones that are weak All they want is a piece Of the pie that you keep Is that too much to ask of those who lay the concrete? Still laying on concrete Pop, pop by police See, they the foundation of the nation Not the 2% Not the ones that own the building that the middle class rent Because they make sense Tell me how do you feel? I'm the new Franklin and I have the new deal I fight and do right FDR for real One nation under God God, show us the way The science of opinion God is not a buffet You pick what you want so no God on your plate The preacher isn't God Religion's first mistake Serving stewards, shepherds, not kings Has to die to his flesh everyday like me One VIP All the other seats in church are free We're just groupies God's the celebrity Before 313 AD Before Constantine Before the council of Nacia Before Romans and Greeks Before Kalvin Alexander, Luther Before let there be Before history To the last century Before the death on the tree Before the fall of man Was a picture of me Now to his heart Right before the last three Words he would speak It is finished Can you believe? I'm losing my religion Thank God Helping you lose yours Is my job iwould like to find title and singer If my maker told me, son you ve got one day to live. If there is any thing you want ,give it all you ve got to give .I f I knew i had one day to do the things i want to do.

Answer(1 of 3): I can only speculate When I read the lyrics, I thought maybe it was about someone cheating in a relationship, and trying to decide if they should confess. But other sources say the song is about unrequited love For people not from the same geographical region as REM, Losing My
