REM Lyrics: It Happened Today

It Happened Today Lyrics by REM Collapse Into Now

Featuring Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder on vocals with Micheal, It Happened Today is from R.E.M.'s album Collapse Into Now. It was the first single released off the album.

Collapse Into Now also features another guest vocalist with Patti Smith appearing on Blue. The song itself is a classic jangly guitar effort from Peter Buck and sees the return of some Mandolin.

It Happened Today Lyrics:

This is not a parable
This is a terrible
This is a terrible thing

Yes I will rhyme that, after, after all I've done today
I have earned my wings

It happened today. Hooray! Hooray!
It happened. Hip, hip, hooray!

We'll leave the allegory to a different Bible story
Out of deference, defiance, the choice
Closing on a promise, after, after all I've done today
I have earned my voice

It happened today.

Hooray! Hooray!
It happened.

Hip, hip, hooray!

Discoverer Lyrics R.E.M.

Discoverer Lyrics R.E.M.

Discoverer Lyrics from R.E.M's album Collapse Into Now. Released world wide for free as an MP3 download from REMHQ, Discoverer is the first song on Collapse Into Now. It's a classic uptempo REM song.

Lyrics:

Hey baby

This is not a challenge

It just means that I don't love you as much as I always said I did

I was wrong

I have been laughable wrong

Sandpaper, paper maché stock, cobweb

Oh, the city

We are scared now

But nanananana…

Well, I didn't have to be afraid

I didn't have to feel so stupid

I can see myself

I can feel...

With just the slightest bit of finesse

I might have made a little less mess

But it was what it was

Let's all get on with it now

Discoverer! x four

We're laughing…

Discoverer!

Floating across Houston

It's where I am

I see the city rise up tall

The opportunities

The possibilities

Well, I have never felt so calm

Remember, the vodka special night of discovery

Remember that

Laughing, discovery

Oh how I look back and reflect

How I felt it, how I said

I don't have to feel so wrong

Now, why don't you take a few steps back and grasp…

Repeat Chorus

Happy to take any corrections or thoughts on the song in the comments!
