And now a very appropriate song for the mood of the nation after the latest restrictions announcement!

R.E.M. might seem like a "safe" choice on the face of it, but this was actually a risky enough song to submit given that it tends to split opinion; a lot of people really hate this song (even Michael Stipe himself is not a fan!) but I’ve always really enjoyed it. I actually thought this song was a satirical take about American reliance on pharmaceuticals (Prozac, Valium etc.) but apparently it’s actually about the Chinese propaganda following Tiananmen Square! Whatever the lyrical background, it’s a great tune and I was very happy to see it here.
