This always reminds me of that famous T.S. Eliot poem, "Ash Wednesday": "Because these wings are no longer wings to fly, but merely vans to beat the air...the air which is now thoroughly small and dry...Smaller and dryer than the will...Teach us to care and not to care...Teach us to sit still." That's just a stanza of it, but the whole poem's message; the beauty and sadness of the human condition is very well portrayed in this music video. Excellent! I've loved this song before I loved Eliot!

This song is deeper and more romantic than Every Breath You Take though.

This is "an obsession love song". Much like "Every Breath You Take" by the Police. Michael Stipe said so himself.

You'd be wrong there. Stipe was having to admit his sexuality in order to tell his family he DID not have AIDs. He grew up in southern Baptist Athens, GA where gay people weren't readily accepted. He was very shy and reserved growing up, also having terrible acne. He used to hide behind his hair and mumble on stage, this is when he finally came to terms with his inner self. How about look at the back-up dancers/singers? Duh!

Jar, thanks for your interpetation of the song. The great thing about the lyrics is that it could mean something different to each individual that listens to it. For me it is a love song. I am not the only one to think this either. I just googled searched the meanings and there are others out there some of say what you have said but some who also think it is a love song! So that is what makes in an awesome song. Can be what your interpetation is! Thanks though.

This is NOT a love song! It's about Peter Buck's mandolin playing, he got angry and "Lost his religion", which is a southern saying for getting angry.
