Maps And Legends Lyrics

Cover art for Maps And Legends lyrics by R.E.M.

I don\'t doubt that this song is influenced by Finster, but I think it\'s reductionist to say it\'s about Finster. The song hinges on the dual meaning of "legend." This was a time when R.E.M. and their friends were seeking out some of the oddball characters and storytellers all over north Georgia.A map has roads, mountains, rivers that are color coded.
