Michael rises above the clear yet obscure voice he uses on the whole album and ascends into pure glossia; not enuciating any one word well enough but still able shattering the two dimensionalness of my left and right speakers as if he had called me by name.<br/><br/>"Yellow like a geisha gown" has got to be one of the most perfect phrases in their catalog too. Oh man, that part in “Shaking Through”… Michael rises above the clear yet obscure voice he uses on the whole album and ascends into pure glossia; not enuciating any one word well enough but still able shattering the two dimensionalness of my left and right speakers as if he had called me by name.

“Yellow like a geisha gown” has got to be one of the most perfect phrases in their catalog too.

That always stands out to me far more than the rest of the song, and live, it's one of my favorite parts of an R.E.M. show.<br/><br/>I can think of several Todd Rundgren songs that also "do things that other songs don't," but that's a whole other post, I'm guessing... When I read your post about “Shaking Through,” I immediately went to one of my favorite R.E.M. moments: at the end of “It’s the End of the World as We Know It,” when the Michael kicks into the “time I had some time alone” while Mike Mills continues the chorus. That always stands out to me far more than the rest of the song, and live, it’s one of my favorite parts of an R.E.M. show.

I can think of several Todd Rundgren songs that also “do things that other songs don’t,” but that’s a whole other post, I’m guessing…
