When R.E.M. released “Out of Time” in 1991, this song became my go-to break-up song. Michael Stipe’s voice calls up all the fragility, desperation, longing, and despair that I felt as I drove aimlessly around and belted out the words on repeat.
This is my favorite song, even though every time I listen to it I’m reminded of moments of loneliness and unhappiness. It’s my favorite because it evokes those emotions, because it makes me feel.
This is how I feel today.
