| Ditto, it's my favorite. I like the different tempos, the dreamy opening and crunchy ending. It fits any mood. Quality. | |
| R.E.M. – Driver 8 Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Forgot to mention: the rhythm of the guitar refrain behind the "we're still a ways away" lyric evokes telegraph poles passing by a train window. The symbol bursts are a bit like steam escaping (like the steam breaks on an old locomotive). I think these were intentional and a very nice touch by the band. | |

| R.E.M. – Driver 8 Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Fantastic song. I don't think there is any great meaning here. It seems to me that Stipe is trying to create an atmospheric song filled with evocative southern images like tent crusades, old rail lines, church bells. I think the album's title says it all: "Fables of the Reconstruction". No deep meaning behind anything here just Stipes love affair with words and images which continued wholly on to Lifes Rich Pageant. I think he means the album to be like a tattered old book you pick up in a used bookshop. Interesting stories and great illustrations but most of the pages are missing. You have to fill in the blanks and will never have all the answers. Thing is, the mystery is more engaging than the whole story could ever be. This is a great song on a fantastic album. | |

Favorite Walkmen song. Reminded me of Velvet Underground immediately. Sounds to me like: We're starting To run out of steam Fall to our knees The headaches And worries And crying And bills to pay How could they keep it up so long?" |
