Losing my favorite band

R.E.M. é sem dúvida nenhuma uma dessas bandas que vai ficar pra sempre.
De início numa era pós-rock and roll, no começo dos anos 1980, construiu seu próprio espaço numa época de homogeinização em que o metal e o grunge dominavam o cenário, agora, pop.
Michael Stipe, o vocalista e líder da banda, é muito feliz na maioria de suas intervenções e encabeça um sem número de criações de músicas profundas sem dificultar na linguagem.
Dificilmente exista alguém que não goste de alguma das músicas do R.E.M. - eu gosto de praticamente tudo.
O show aqui em Porto Alegre, em 2008, foi simplesmente maravilhoso.
Pois a melhor banda da atualidade resolveu parar.
Uma pena.
Aqui no Alma, segue a mais clássica deles com tradução no vídeo e a letra ali embaixo.



Losing My Religion

Oh, life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh, no I've said too much
I set it up

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spot light
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour
I'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool (Fool)
Oh, no I've said too much
I set it up

Consider this (2x)
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spot light
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh, no I've said too much
I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why, try
That was just a dream
Just a dream, just a dream, dream
