Welcome to Thumpin’ Thursday! I bring you another song from another band that has been covered before.
REM is tonight’s band and the song is “The One I Love”. It is from their album “Documents”. The song is a good one, but i’ve always found it to be a bit repetative. Oddly enough, the allure of REM’s music is doing things like this. Michael Stipe has always constructed interesting lyrics and they are always open for interpretation.
Sorry for the late night post. I was planning on this it this afternoon, but it was a good beach day. The A/C has been on in the house for over a week, and today we finally got to be outside and not feel like it’s 150% humid. It’s all good though.
Enjoy tonight’s cover!

What a great choice, Jeff — I can’t believe we haven’t recorded this one yet! I especially loved your finger picking in the intro; it’s spot on! I tried doing it myself (thus the addition of the chords just for good measure) but couldn’t quite get it. You’ll have to show me next time we see each other. Oh, just one question — I don’t have many of their early albums, but isn’t the title “Document” (singular)? Sorry; that’s the English teacher in me coming out…
