This is probably the most underrated song off from Reveal. This was the song that captured my attention and I've never lost interest in this song. I especially love it live, when michael dances around and Peter is playing a nice solo on that slick F guitar.
Michael has used a lyric stand since the very beginning in the early 80's. Now he uses a lyric stand and a monitor. It's just one of his traditions. You figure he doesn't listen to his own songs so would forget the lyrics. I mean I wouldn't be able to remember the lyrics either. That's just one of his unique qualities.
He's unique. I love his dancing. I find his pelvic moves quite sexy. Most men at the age well at the time he was 43 cannot dance so loosely. And now at 47 He still has it.
He always refers to himself as queer. Some years back he said this, "The people who think I'm gay are just as wrong as the people who think I'm straight. I love it.
That's not what this song is about at all. It's about a woman who had a bad past. But now is so much better than her past and she's learning to relive her life for the better.
You know if you take live versions of half the songs from up and reveal, you'd have a pretty great album, forget about Around the Sun though. Really good performance.
@mytwocentsful Uh No. The she is a real female. Michael Stipe writes about characters. Some real, some made up. In this case this is a female character who is a character he made up. A person he says he goes back and visits. She Just Wants to Be is like a sequel to Daysleeper. Daysleeper is about a person who works in an office at night. Michael doesn't write autobiographical very much.
Interesting interpretation. Glad interpretation of art is personal, because I think you're way off. I see it a person (who happens to be a woman) who has finally realized that she is not defined by the past. Stipe's dancing doesn't redeem anyone, but it sure is hot!
I love Micheal Stipe, just everything about him is perfect.
It's really one of the best song on the record!! I just love R.E.M.!
Mike's expression on stage just shows his liberal and open approach to his sexuality. He's an icon to me!
I think this is the best song of reveal, with imitation of life
my fave rem song!!!

oh god. this is just an awesome performance! makes me shiver.
i have no doubt, REM is the best band eeeeeeeeeeeeeever.
I love the way he moves too.
I love the Persian dance he does at 4:08.
Impeccable!
Stipey is still rockin my world
Best song on Reveal.
love the way he dances!:D
That's right. but right now he's really committed to someone so he's unavailable. I can't believe he's turning 50 next month. Amazing.
another masterpiece from the one and only R.E.M.
best song ever.

Favorite off of 'Reveal'.
I agree...but I do love I'll take the rain and I've been High
Or the way he can look at many people all at the same time.
If there was a such thing as a perfect man he'd be it.
u'd never say he's gay from the way he moves
XD
i have more from this show, i will post. glad you like it.
