R.E.M. was an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by drummer Bill Berry, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist/backing vocalist Mike Mills, and lead vocalist Michael Stipe. One of the first alternative rock bands, R.E.M. was noted for Buck's ringing, arpeggiated guitar style, Stipe's distinctive vocal quality and obscure lyrics, Mills's melodic basslines and backing vocals, and Berry's tight, economical style of drumming.
R.E.M. released its first single—"Radio Free Europe"—in 1981 on the independent record label Hib-Tone.

ARMS OF LOVE (Robyn Hitchcock)
I've tried to lay out the rythym as graphically as possible.
(D = down, ^ = up)
DD ^ ^ D ^ DD ^ ^ D ^ DD ^ ^ DDD ^ ^ D ^
GCGCG (intro, same as first sung line) GCGCG Maybe tonight you're achin' GFCC For someone you're dreamin' of DDCC Tomorrow you'll be wakin Into the DD/G* CC Arms, into the arms of Love
(*You could use either a D, D/G, or a G here, whatever suits you best.)
Maybe tonight you're cryin Like a poor wounded dove Tell me you'll soon be flying Into the Arms, into the arms of love
Maybe tonight you're takin You couldn't get enough Honey you'll soon be wakin' Into the Arms, into the arms of Love
[Interlude, use same three lines of chords that run through the sung verse.]
Maybe the world is falling It wasn't strong enough Tell me you'll soon be crawling Into the Arms, into the arms of Love (repeat to end)
