two hours of not being on
five days left
completely stumped
leaning over his shoulder
drive each other crazy
driving around in rental
car cassette singing along
for four days
we reconvened
we were stunned
magical moments
have disappeared
into the mists of time.
Poet's note: I am a huge REM fan! This found poem was created from the liner notes inside the REM CD titled "The Best of REM: In Time - 1988-2003"
About "Man on the Moon" REM wrote: "With five days left before the record was mastered, we had the track completely finished except for the lyrics. Michael was completely stumped, and was gettng quite irritated with all of us leaning over his shoulder. It was decided that rather than drive each other crazy in the studio, we would take a few days off. Michael spent his time off driving around in his rental car with a cassette of the track singing along for four days."
