LOSING MY RELIGION - (R.E.M.)

"LOSING MY RELIGION"

8.- Aqui dejo un ensayo con la batería (drum cover) de la canción "LOSING MY RELIGION" del grupo de rock alternativo estadounidense R.E.M. Lanzada al mercado en el año 1991 como single y dentro del álbum “OUT OF TIME” del que llegaron a venderse 10 millones de copias. La canción obtuvo siete nominaciones a los premios Grammy, ganando dos de ellos, (mejor interpretación pop de grupo con vocalista y mejor video clip) consiguiendo alcanzar la cuarta posición en el Billboard Hot 100 en los EEUU, permaneciendo en la lista durante 21 semanas, en Inglaterra llegó al puesto 19 en la UK Singles Chart, en Canadá el puesto 16 y en Australia el 11. En el año 2004 la revista Rolling Stone la colocó en el puesto 169 dentro de su lista de las 500 mejores canciones de todos los tiempos y en 2009 Blender la colocó en la posición 79 de las Mejores canciones desde que naciste.

La voz del vocalista Michael Stipe se grabó en una sola toma y el estribillo surgió de la mano del guitarrista Peter Buck componiendo mientras practicaba con una mandolina comprada recientemente para aprender a tocarla.

El videoclip, inspirado en parte en un cuento de Gabriel García Marquez incluyendo un señor muy viejo con unas enormes alas estuvo nominado en 9 categorías en el año 1991 en los premios MTV, consiguiendo ganar 6 de ellos además de situarse en el primer puesto de la categoría de videos musicales en la encuesta de críticos Pazz & Jop del mismo año.

R.E.M. (Cuyas siglas designan una fase del sueño en inglés “Rápid Eye Movement”) Se formó en Georgia en el año 1980 por el vocalista Michael Stipe, el guitarrista Peter Buck, el bajista Mike Mills y el batería Bill Berry. Fue una de los primeros grupos pioneros del rock alternativo después de los géneros post-punk y new wave anteriores llegando a vender mas de 80 millones de discos por todo el mundo. En el año 2007 R.E.M. Entró en el Salón de la Fama del Rock y en el año 2011, después de más de 30 años de carrera el grupo anunció su separación.

"LOSING MY RELIGION" 

R.E.M.

Oh,Life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool,fool
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up

Consider this
Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight, I'm
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try?
That was just a dream
Just a dream, just a dream
Dream
