R.E.M. posted their episode of “Try Not to Breathe” on Song Exploder for the podcast’s 10th anniversary. Song Explorer is a fantastic podcast that strips down songs to solos, bits of background vocals — just everything abouth a song, including history and meaning. It’s fantastic for big music fans.
From the Song Explorer site:
R.E.M. was formed in Athens, Georgia, in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, bassist Mike Mills, guitarist Peter Buck, and drummer Bill Berry. They’ve won three Grammys, and have sold over 85 million records. In 1992, the band released their eighth album, Automatic for the People. In honor of the 25th anniversary of its release, in this episode, Michael Stipe and Mike Mills take apart the song, “Try Not to Breathe.”
