Lyrics:
You're funny and you don't know why
YOu're funny and you can't even cry
You're funny and you don't know why
You're funny and you don't even try
You're head keeps SHAKIN
because you're arms are SHAKING
and your feet are SHAKING
because the EARTH is SHAKING
Listen...
nothing can hurt you unless you want it to
there are no answers
only reasons to be STRONG
you take a walk
you take a walk and you try to understand
nothing can hurt you unless you want it to
oh...
your'e in love and you don't know WHY
you're in love and you can even cry
you're in love and you don't know why
you're in love and you don't even try
(cause) youre HEAD keeps SHAKING
because you're arms are shaking
and you're feet are shaking
(because) the EARTH is shaking

When I first heard R.E.M.'s Dead Letter Office, I thought that this was an R.E.M. original. Shortly after, I saw on the Wikipedia article for the album that it was not an original, but a cover of a song by a band called Pylon. I'd seen the clip where Peter Buck says that Pylons is the greatest rock band on earth or something like that, so I thought "I must check out the Pylon version." Honestly, this version is a lot better than the R.E.M. cover, especially the guitar sound at the beginning.8 years ago

I've always loved R.E.M.'s version of this song, and I just now got around to listening to the original. I'm surprised to find that R.E.M. didn't change it all that much. I assumed they had, because their version sounds like an R.E.M. original, and other stuff I've heard by Pylon is harsher and punkier than this song. The Pylon original already has a ton of atmosphere and is really great. R.E.M. just sort of smoothed off the edges and added a layer of R.E.M. haze. It's an excellent cover, but all of the credit goes to Pylon for creating this unique song in the first place.8 years ago

Thanks for posting! I was playing this on guitar--based on the Rem cover and got curious about what the original sounded like. The Pylon original really grabs you and makes you think Rem's oblique take misses the mark.10 years ago

This is great and will always be the original but in this guy's opinion R.E.M.'s version definitely lives up. Though I was a fan of the R.E.M. version before encountering the original by Pylon. Both have their stronger points and maybe a few weak ones too. Both rad in the end.10 years ago

Pylon were around when the B-52's were, in 1978. Peter and Michael did not meet for another year, and did not form R.E.M. until early 1980.So yes, Pylon pre-date R.E.M.11 years ago
