The very most appropriate song to top off this year — an acoustic version of R.E.M.’s classic song from their 1987 album ‘Document’, written by Bill Berry, Peter Buck, Mike Mills, and Michael Stipe.
When I was 11, and home sick from school one day, I played and rewound this song for hours so I could write down all the lyrics. 33 years later, and it’s still one of my favorite songs.
