According to Peter Buck, he tricked Stipe into writing lyrics for this song, claiming it's just a quick re-write of Burning Down.

Max Trahan

To anyone else does it sort of sound like Sitting Still?

Connor Watson

The label decided that this song would sound too light-hearted for Chronic Town.

ricardo magdaleno

later it came out on the dead letter office compilation.along with crazy and white tornado.

Prefer the DLO version, possibly because the production is so much better. Or possibly because it was my favourite track on DLO and played it for years and years, whereas I only heard the Chronic Town out takes a few years back.

Dustin Buhro

R.E.M. is the best band !!!!

arthurbludgeon

This version is really energetic and raw, which probably makes it the best version available. However, I remember back in 1984 or 1985 buying the IRS benefit LP called LIVE FOR LIFE because it had one song by REM that I did not have: AGES OF YOU. This was the very first time this song was available for purchase...NOT DEAD LETTER!!! The IRS benefit version is much better than the DEAD LETTER OFFICE version, because it is much cleaner, and not drenched in a ton of reverb! Check it out!!!

I think it would fit in really well with Sitting Still and Radio Free Europe too.

Anyone else hearing Sitting Still in this?

ciggery

wow! never knew this version existed. how recently did this recording surface or has it been kickin around for awhile?

dienstuhr

Probably my favorite REM song ever. First heard it on the late night CBC radio show "Brave New Waves" in the mid-80s. The version on Dead Letter Office is great too.

Lee Clayden

"christine indigo without...so preceeded one too much" yeah....

REMchout

@sashwap Yeah, between this song and it's musical counterpart (as Peter has described elsewhere) Burning Down, you would thing one of them would of made it to a proper album!

sashwap

@REMchout this song is such an underdog! rejected for chronic town AND murmur. it's hard to pinpoint why, exactly. my guess is that in light of their material at the time in seems a touch more naive/simplistic. and i think it's more of a reckoning style tune, but by that time they were sick of it.

@schlaackthebassist This song was allegedly voted off the ep by the label.

Stephen Schlaack

How was this an outtake?! Such a great song!

Mike Marks

For those keeping track at home, I just started "Document" this morning in my "Listen to every R.E.M. album in order without skipping any tracks memorial service".Just finishing up "Dead Letter Office" reminded me how much I love the song Ages of You, which was an unreleased track up until then. Can't find that version, so enjoy this one - from 1981.

REM sucks. No, not really. You know I'm just kidding. Teehee. Where do you think I got this cool user name? Peter mother fucking Buck.
