REM's at their most beautiful

一直沒有認真的喜歡過REM,對他們的印象老是停留在他們九零年代初期的"Losing My Religion",還有他們當年上台領獎(沒記錯的話是葛萊美獎)不發一語,只把身上寫著有趣標語的T恤脫掉的致詞方式。
後來因為電影"Never Been Kissed"(一吻定江山)而聽到他們收錄在1998年"Up"專輯中的"At My Most Beautiful"時,我很難把這首歌跟我印象中耍酷的REM聯想在一起。 輕巧的旋律真不像REM的風格,簡單的歌詞卻很動人。
原來,他們也有這麼可愛的情歌。
"At My Most Beautiful" by REM
I've found a way to make you
I've found a way A way to make you smile
I read bad poetry Into your machine
I save your messages
Just to hear your voice
You always listen carefully
To awkward rhymes
You always say your name
Like I wouldn't know it's you
At your most beautiful
I've found a way to make you
I've found a way A way to make you smile
At my most beautiful I count your eyelashes,
secretly With every one, whisper I love you
I let you sleep I know you're closed eye watching me, listening.
I thought I saw a smile.
I've found a way to make you
I've found a way A way to make you smile.
