Who’s Bathing?

Thursday 18 January 2007 | general

A new video, set to R.E.M.’s “We Walk.” Which is from Murmur — perhaps the most appropriately titled album in history, regarding the intelligibility of the lyrics anyway.

The song choice was inspired by the title alone. Michael Stipe has never been known for writing coherent lyrics, let alone good lyrics. This one, from R.E.M.’s debut album, is a prime example.

Sing365 has the lyrics as a repetition of the following:

Up the stairs to the landing, up the stairs into the hall, oh, oh, oh
Take oasis, Marat’s bathing
We walk through the wood, we walk

Marat? As in Jean-Paul Marat (Wikipedia)?
