octubre 6. hoy pensé que está de cumpleaños mi mejor amigo, y siento que no exagero en lo absoluto. le conocí a los 14 años, y de ahí cada vez que le escucho es sentarme a recordar y reconocer lo finito de mi condición de ser humana, y lo inmenso de todos los sentimientos que en ella se recorren. Es realmente una parte de mi. Te amo, disco de mi vida 🖤 and these are the eyes that I want you to remember #AutomaticForThePeople https://www.instagram.com/p/CjXtORQOw19/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy 30th Birthday, R.E.M.’s ‘Automatic For The People’ 🎂

(A retrospective ramble by an ageing Alternative-Rock Fan)

That sounds strange, wishing a jolly birthday greeting to a far from jolly album. It’s strange to think that ‘Automatic For The People’ by seminal US Alternative Rock band, R.E.M. is 30 years old today.

I remember firsts hearing this album in the autumn of 1992, at the very beginning of my Uni days in London, England. I always think of this album as autumnal, not just because it was released it the autumn, or because I relate it to that particular autumn of 1992, (In my case spent trying to navigate the ruby leaved floor of Richmond Park in search of a mythological pub) nor the sometimes bleak, almost autumnal feel of the album itself, but I feel this album is synonymous with the autumnal years of the twentieth century: the 90s…where anything from a music video by a 4ad Indie band like America’s Unrest or Red House Painters or a promo vid by U.K. boy band Take That was covered in a shroud of autumn sepia or orange.

Gone now was the MTV friendly aura of REM’s previous album from the year before, ‘Out of Time’. Like many novice alternative music fans, ‘Out of Time’ was my first introduction to REM and (like many music fans) I spent the next 18 months gathering REM’s (Mainly IRS records) back catalogue of 80s albums.

By 1992, angsty US Grunge in the form of Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden brought a downbeat introspection to the ears of a generation of Indie Kids, whilst bleak, self-destructive musings would be realised, when U.K. Indie band, Radiohead released inward-looking classic ‘Creep’ later that year. ‘Automatic For The People’ slotted in nicely to this wave of angsty, introspective and dark guitar based Alternative Rock.

The album itself, is bleak but beautiful, filled with either hits (‘Everybody Hurts’ ; ‘Drive’; ‘The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite’; ‘Nightswimming’; ‘’Find the River’ and one of my favourites, ‘Man On The Moon’) or strong album cuts. (Try Not To Breathe’ and ‘Sweetness Follows). However, there are (for me) weaker moments, which (only in my opinion) make this an imperfect album. Much as I consider ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ an ‘almost-perfect-album’ (sorry 70s-era Floyd Fans, it’s only ‘On the Run’ that doesn’t work for me), I’m not a big fan of REM singer Michael Stipe swearing; with some singers, (for me) swearing doesn’t always fit with my perception of that singer’s persona. I love the smooth glide and 10cc-esque instrumentation of ‘Star Me Kitten’ and ‘When the Levee breaks’-style harmonica of ‘Ignoreland’, (plus I’m not too fond of the ‘yeah, yeah, yeah’ vocal parts), but when Stipe swears, it takes me out of the music. I’m the same with Luke Haines of English pre-Britpop Indie band, The Auteurs. (Who are one of my favourite bands) Certain singers swearing doesn’t do it for me. (Any ideas on this as it’s a riddle to me, please let me know in the comments!)

On a positive side, the songs ‘Drive"; ‘The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite’; ‘Everybody Hurts’ and ‘Nightswimming’ feature string arrangements by Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones. I feel the ‘Zeppelin’ influence (particularly from the more folksy Led Zep III & IV albums) seeps into other tracks on this record, especially the baroque-darkness of ‘Try Not to Breathe’, the Mandolin-led, ‘Monty Got A Raw Deal’ and the aforementioned, ‘Ignoreland’. I’d really encourage any Led Zeppelin fans who are unfamiliar with this album to give it a go…spirituality John Paul Jones inhabits it!

This album for me, never dates, as baroque-pop musings collide with guitar feedback and acoustic-folk sensibilities. Stripe’s voice soars throughout a blend of ballads & rock songs…there’s a consistency to the album which begs for 30 years of repeat listens! ⭐️

Letra 

When your day is long And the night, the night is yours alone When you're sure you've had enough Of this life, well hang on

Don't let yourself go 'Cause everybody cries Everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong Now it's time to sing along

When your day is night alone (hold on, hold on) If you feel like letting go (hold on) If you think you've had too much Of this life, well hang on

'Cause everybody hurts Take comfort in your friends Everybody hurts

Don't throw your hand, oh no Don't throw your hand If you feel like you're alone No, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life The days and nights are long When you think you've had too much Of this life to hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes Everybody cries Everybody hurts, sometimes

And everybody hurts sometimes So hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on, hold on

Everybody hurts
