Apologies for repeating earlier posts - didn't see them! Also, Patti was the reason Stipe went into music. With such an original and strange voice Stipe felt that if she could do it so could he! |

| R.E.M. – E-Bow The Letter Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
This song was about a letter that Bill Berry wrote to River Phoenix when it was painfully obvious to those around him that he was in the process of crashing and burning. When Phoenix died Stipe asked Bill whether he could make a song of it and this is the result. The e-bow bit is the guitar attachment used to create the sound. Their best song - gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. |
