Leave (Hi. Res.) Lyrics


Nothing could be bring me closer
Nothing could be bring me near
Where is the road I follow?
Believing, leaveIt's under, under, under my feet
The scene spread out there before me
Better I go where the land touches the sea
There is my trust in what I believeThat's what keeps me,
That's what keeps me,
That's what keeps me down,
To leave it, believe it,
Leave it all behindShifting the dream
Nothing could bring me further from my old friend time
Shifting the dream
Charging the scene
I know where I marked the signs
Suffer the dreams of a world gone mad
I like it like that and I know itI know it well, ugly and sweet
A temperament who said believe in his dreamThat's what keeps me

That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
I set it on there lightly
I sent it off in an airplane
That never left the groundThat's what keeps me,
That's what keeps me,
That's what keeps me down,
To leave it, believe it,
Leave it all behindLift me, lift me,
I attain my dream
I lost myself, I lost them
Heartache calling me
I lost myself in sorrow
I lost myself in pain
I lost myself in gravity,
Memory, leave, leave, leaveThat's what keeps me,
That's what keeps me,
That's what keeps me down,
To leave it, believe it,
Leave it all behindThat's what keeps me,
That's what keeps me,
That's what keeps me down,
To leave it, believe it,
Leave it all behindMidnight hands, my eyes are still
I walk into the scene
Shoot myself in a different place
Leavin'Longed for this to take me,
Longed for my release
Waited for the coming
Leavin', leaveLeave, leave
Leavin', leavin'
Leavin', leave

R.E.M. were an alternative rock band formed in Athens, Georgia, United States in 1980. The band originally consisted of Michael Stipe (vocals), Peter Buck (guitar, mandolin), Mike Mills (bass, keyboards, vocals) and Bill Berry (drums). Berry retired from the band in October 1997 after having suffered a brain aneurysm in 1995.

R.E.M. released its first single, "Radio Free Europe", in 1981 on the independent record label Hib-Tone. The single was followed by the Chronic Town EP in 1982, the band's first release on I.R.S. Records. In 1983, the group released its critically acclaimed debut album, Murmur, and built its reputation over the next few years through subsequent releases, constant touring, and the support of college radio. Following years of underground success, R.E.M. achieved a mainstream hit in 1987 with the single "The One I Love". The group signed to Warner Bros. Records in 1988, and began to espouse political and environmental concerns while playing large arenas worldwide.

By the early 1990s, when alternative rock began to experience broad mainstream success, R.E.M. was viewed as a pioneer of the genre and released its two most commercially successful albums, Out of Time (1991) and Automatic for the People (1992), which veered from the band's established sound. R.E.M.'s 1994 release, Monster, was a return to a more rock-oriented sound. The band began its first tour in six years to support the album; the tour was marred by medical emergencies suffered by three band members. In 1996, R.E.M. re-signed with Warner Bros. for a reported US$80 million, at the time the most expensive recording contract in history. The following year, Bill Berry left the band, while Buck, Mills, and Stipe continued the group as a three-piece. Through some changes in musical style, the band continued its career into the next decade with mixed critical and commercial success. In 2007, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

On 21 September 2011, after over 30 years together, R.E.M. announced that they had split up.
