She Just Wants To Be Lyrics


It's not that she walked away
Her world got smaller
All the usual places, the same destinations
Only something's changedIt's not that she wasn't rewarded
With pomegranate afternoons
And Mingus, Chet baker and chessIt's not the stampede and fortune of prim affectations
She's off on a right but she knows now
It's greater than the whole of the past
It's greater and now she knowsShe just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be
She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to beIt's not that the transparency of earlier incarnations
Now we're back on, we're enriched
And loaded with beautiful vulnerability
And now she knows
Now is greater and she knows thatShe just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be
She just wants to be somewhere

She just wants to beNow is greater, now is greater
And she knows thatShe just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be
She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to beShe just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be
She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to beIt's not like the Angels could truly look down
Stir up the trappings and light on the ground
Remind us of what, when, why or who?
The how's up to us, me and you
And now is greater than the whole of the past
Is greater and now she knows that
Now she knows

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.
