New R.E.M. fan here; Texarkana is their best song and nothing will top it.
So over the past few weeks, I’ve listened to 4 of their album in full, (OoT, Document, AFTP, Monster) and I am confident nothing is gonna touch Texarkana. It’s a very rare occasion for me to find a song that touches my soul in such a way, but wow this song puts it in a chokehold. Of the 26 years I’ve been on this planet, only about half a dozen songs have had that effect.
So yeah, I fuckin’ love this song, and that’s all I have to say about that.
