Reckoning, 1984
Written by Bill Berry, Peter Buck, Mike Mills, and Michael Stipe
I'm much more familiar with the "Voice Of Harold" version of this track. It's still odd for me to hear this music and not hear the liner notes to the Revelaires album,. Anyway, the actual song's lyrics are, surprise surprise, pretty abstruse. Stipe said it was about him breaking up a couple and then trying to date them, but there's little in the song that might make that clear to an outsider. It's possible I prefer "Voice Of Harold." As a kid, I sure enjoyed the book the song title is somewhat based on, though.
