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.

DARK GLOBE (Syd Barrett)
G Oh where are you now, pussy willow that smiled on my sleeve? CDG When I was alone you promised a stone from your heart. G7 My head kissed the ground C I was half the way down GD Treading the sand, please... GCDC Please lift a hand, I'm only a person DCD Whose arm bands beads on his hands hang tall. GD Won't you miss me, D7 Wouldn't you miss me at all?
GG7 My head touched the ground C I was half the way down D Strumming the sand, GCDC Please lift a hand, I'm only a person. DCDCC7 With eskimo chain I tattered my brain all the way GD Won't you miss me, D7 Wouldn't you miss me at all?
