REM Supernatural Superserious Lyrics & Video from Accelerate

OH MY...judging from the Supernatural Superserious video I just watched, they've done what they've had to. Energize, modernize, and damn...just plain out rock, rock, rock. Back from the dead. I loved this band. And now I can do it again. Good for them. Congrats. Remember and give enormous credit to producer Jacknife (Garrett) Lee. He's masterful (see Snow Patrol and selected U2). I hope he gets the credit he deserves. Tell your friends to buy Accelerate on March 31st. Play it again Sam with the lyrics below. They're very good.

Everybody here
Comes from somewhere
But they would just as soon forget
and disguise
At the summer camp where you volunteered
No one saw your face, no one saw your fear
If that apparition had just appeared
Took you up and away from this place and sheer humiliation
Of your teenage station
Nobody cares no one remembers and nobody cares

Yeah you cried and you cried
He’s alive he’s alive/a lie
Ah, you cried and you cried and you cried and you cried

If you call out safe then I’ll stop right away
If the premise buckles and the ropes starts to shake
For the details mark
With the stories the same
You don’t have to explain
You don’t have to explain
Humiliation
Of your teenage station

Yeah you cried and you cried
He’s alive he’s alive
Ah, you cried and you cried and you cried
And you realized your fantasies are
Dressed up in travesties
Enjoy yourself with no regrets

Everybody here comes from somewhere
If they would just as soon forget,
And disguise

Yeah you cried and you cried
He’s alive he’s alive/a lie
Yeah, you cried and you cried and you cried and you cried
(Oh you cried and you cried)
(Oh you cried and you cried)

Now there’s nothing dark and there’s nothing weird
Don’t be afraid I’ll hold you clear/near
From the séance where you first betrayed
An open heart on a darkened stage's celebration
Of your teenage station

Zen experience sweet delirious
Supernatural superserious
Inexperience sweet delirious
Supernatural superserious
wow

R.E.M. "Accelerate" Launch Website (ninetynights.com) & Relaunch Vehicle for the Band..

R.E.M has just introduced a website called ninetynights.com as a teaser to build interest for their new "Accelerate" album due in April of '08. Starting On January 1 '08 a different 30-90 second video will be posted each day (or night) for ninety days. Cool idea. Especially since it's impossible, at this point to determine where it's all going (makes sense to me...otherwise why come back besides the fact you can download each new clip in HD for that day only). The video has been shot by Vincent Moon who has made videos for The National's "Alligator" ("Lit Up", "Daughters of the Soho Riots") and Beirut among others. R.E.M. needs smart marketing and decision making at this point.

"Accelerate" is rumored to be a return to the classic 1994 "Monster" R.E.M. sound of "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?" and "Crush with Eyeliner". It's produced by Jacknife Lee (Snow Patrol's last two breakthrough records, Greenday, and some U2 co-production). He's a brilliant producer but can at times overproduce. At this point, R.E.M. needs a record like U2's "All That You Can't Leave Behind" that returns to their classic sound and builds on it with great songs to relaunch the band. The site is a smart step in the right direction.
