it means: it's all the same, day, night, experience inbetween - high and low... love is thrown in there as the thing that normally 'explains' everything - it was 'all for love?!?' well, ok. you have a cyclic song here, birth, life, death. and, everything inbetween. it's about the human experience. he touches on time. time. meditate on that one, it will trip you out. rem has some enigmatic songs, this is one of them. he's howling at the moon. is he mad? are you?
hahah "it's just about sex" thank you
Maybe he's discounting the huge emphasis we put on love "It seems so silly and low"
But then the song ends with a simple proclamation of attraction "I like your hands All full of glory"
Interesting lyrics good song. Talk to me
This is my favorite REM song. It is unbelievable.
Bongo music kicks ass.

it's just about sex
i love this song, and i love the cover by jawbox.
oh yes, this one's the best. fuck jawbox! jesus! they wrecked probably my fav song! fucking new age bullshit.
For a song that R.E.M. tend to discount, it's really wonderful. Though I have wondered if Stipe was trying to be funny, and possibly referencing "Maggie May" in the third verse up there.
This is one of my favorite R.E.M. songs. Stipe's voice in Verse 3 is so strong.
