Add Your New Review About The Song The Reviews about Find The River (page 1/1) ------ performed by R.E.M. Haunting | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/3/2008 This song is and always will be my favourite. The haunting melody coupled with clever lyrics and harmony drive a river through the soul. It is not a sad song, but a song of hope in the same vein as Tynnyson writing the poem "Ulysses" talks about the loss of youth, but also says "made weak by time and fate, but strong in will, to strive, to seek, to find and not to yield." So Find The River is about accepting the pitfalls of life and the certainty of a finale in death but to find the route that will carry you, with hope, to the end by a line of beauty and happiness. Listen closely | Reviewer: Michael | 3/25/2008 It took me 5 years to realize this is one of my favorite songs, and it took me 15 total to figure out why: listen very closely to the absolutely haunting background harmonies Mike Mills is singing. R.E.M. is famous for using his voice like an instrument, but it is so intricate and, well, haunting, the notes he sings almost in counterpoint to Michael. It's so well-integrated you never think about it, until you do. It's genius. Amazing | Reviewer: Sgcray | 12/2/2007 This just became my favourite REM song!! Its incredible the way it just picks up. And the lyrics are amazing too. Everyone just has to find the river of his life I guess. Thats what this song is about. The flow of one's life can only be decided after you ascertained the right river. Most dont care about finding the river but then you might wash on a shore that you never meant to me. Absolutely fabulous | Reviewer: kroe | 11/1/2007 This is my favorite song ever. Michael Stipe's voice combined with the instrumentation and the subtle and poetic lyrics creates an absolutely gorgeous song. I love you, R.E.M. Add Your New Review About The Song
