The entire REM library is incredible but I will always be partial to these early songs. The IRS years were the best

Mike Mills' harmonies are incredible. My favourite REM song, I fell in love with it some thirty-whatever years ago.

Whenever I hear this, I sing Mikey Mills' part. Until they released this song I merely liked REM very much. But when I first heard this on the radio, i morphed into a slavish adoring fangirls.

My brother fronted a cover band and we had serious disagreements regarding Driver 8 lyrics.

Agree about lyrics...Stipe said he often did not understand what the songs were about that he wrote. He also said the lyrics were not supposed to make sense rather it was the feeling they invoked that was most important.....i listened to these guys in 80s as well growing up in North Carolina and had no idea what he was singing about...cheers

It's not for the benefit of the audience. Stipe had a captive audience and a microphone and took the opportunity to get something off his chest. I like artists that don't even talk to the audience, except maybe to introduce the band.
