The Monster's Green Skin

This is my mistake
Let me make it good

I raised a wall
And I will be the one to knock it down


World Leader Pretend ... is it possible something more beautiful? Maybe At My Most Beautiful but that's another story... This is the song that I would like to hear the one I love(d) in my highschool's wild and crazy years, after At My Most Beautiful. And Turn You Inside Out. And I'll Take The Rain. And Country Feedback ... oh, boy and ...and Fall One Me and So Fast, So Numb and I TOOK YOUR NAME (oh, yeah, that's a good one), I Don't Sleep, I Dream.

Overall, I think Monster is the most electric and moving R.E.M. record because it is so revolutionary and directly adressed. For me it was, and it is, even now, absolutely shocking. Monster was the the album that "convinced" me to buy an electric guitar to play that songs and to make "my own kind of music". And an acoustic guitar too! ;)

You know

I'm not your magazine

I'm not your movie screen

I'm not your television

The songs that I like most on Monster now are: Crush With Eyeliner, I Took Your Name, King Of Comedy, Kenneth, You, Circus Envy, and Strange Currencies. These are such an enormous influence for me!!!
