R.E.M. fue una influyente banda estadounidense surgida en 1980 en el Estado de Georgia (EE.UU.), pionera del denominado rock alternativo e inspiración de bandas de desarrollo posterior.
En la década de los 70, plena era punk, un estudiante de arte llamado Michael Stipe conoce a un coleccionista de LP´s de los años 60 llamado Peter Buck. Ambos se unen a dos músicos experimentados, Mike Mills y Bill Berry, y comienzan a tocar en pubs locales en la ciudad de Athens.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!

FIRST WE TAKE MANHATTAN (Leonard Cohen)
DmAm They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom DmAm For trying to change the system from within DmAm I'm coming now I'm coming to reward them GFEAm First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
DmAm I'm guided by a signal in the heavens DmAm I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin DmAm I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons GFEAm First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
CGF I'd really like to live beside you, baby CAm I love your body and your spirit and your clothes CAm But you see that line there moving through the station GFEAm I told you I told you I told you I was one of those
DmAm You loved me as a loser but now your worried that I just might win DmAm You know the way to stop me but you don't have the discipline DmAm How many nights I prayed for this: to let my work begin GFEAm First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
DmAm I don't like your fashion business, mister DmAm I don't like these drugs that keep you thin DmAm I don't like what happened to your sister GFEAm First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin (chorus)
DmAm And I thank you for those items that you sent me DmAm The monkey and the plywood violin DmAm I practiced every night and now I'm ready GFEAm First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
DmAm Remember me, I used to live for music DmAm Remember me, I brought your groceries in DmAm It's Father's Day and everybody's wounded GFEAm First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
