As y’all know, I’ve been going through my R.E.M. collection for a while now and I thought I’d share what is either my first or second favorite R.E.M. song, “Find the River.” The band has said it’s one of their favorites. It’s beautiful. The melody is perfect. The lyrics are lovely and descriptive, sort of sad with “the ocean is the river’s goal” and “all of this is coming your way,” which is welcoming and shows we’re all human and on this river together. It also closes out the album Automatic for the People, which had to be on purpose.
Enjoy.
