Low

From Out of Time1991

Written by Bill Berry, Michael Stipe, Mike Mills

Lyrics

Low

[Verse 1]

Dusk is dawn is day

Where did it go?

I've been laughing

Fast and slow

Moving in a still frame

Howling at the moon

Morning found me laughing

Up and down, down

Low, low, low

Night suits me fine

And morning suits me fine

I've been so happy, happy

Way up high, high

In between

Down below

Low, low, low

Low, low, low

[Chorus]

I skipped the part about love

It seems so silly and low

[Post-Chorus]

Low, low, low

Low, low, low

[Verse 2]

I said the morning

It isn't your time

Barefoot naked

I can see your lines

It doesn't bother me

If you are right

Your grass is grassy wet

Your light white is bright

Light white, light

[Chorus]

I skipped the part about love

It seems so shallow and low

[Post-Chorus]

Low, low, low

Low, low, low

[Bridge]

You and me

We know about time

We know how things go

They come and go, they live and grow

They pass and go and glow and glow

Up and down, high and low

Low, low, low

Low, low, low

[Chorus]

I skipped the part about love

It seems so silly and low

I skipped the part about love

It seems so shallow and low

[Post-Chorus]

Low, low, low

Low, low, low

[Outro]

I like your hands

All full of glory

All full of glory

Oasis at Slane: from R.E.M.’s support act to headliners

Their 1995 appearance came before ‘Morning Glory’; their 2009 headline show came months before the split. Slane holds two distinct chapters of Oasis history.

10 feel-good songs for different kinds of mood lift

From brass-powered pop to a galloping Scottish singalong, these tracks take distinct routes towards a brighter few minutes.

What did John Paul Jones bring to R.E.M.’s Automatic for the People?

John Paul Jones’s string arrangements helped expand the sound of R.E.M.’s 1992 album without displacing the band at its centre.

Michael Stipe is finishing up work on his upcoming solo debut, 'FYI'

A tree recording, Daft Punk textures and 'Drunken Sailor' all feature on the record
