music as religion

so every once in awhile a band comes along and turns the snow globe upside down, leaving in its wake magic at every cascading turn down. r.e.m. has hung up its spurs but has left us with one of the most achingly earnest offerings in its wake. "we all go back to where we belong"



here it is.




best.
