It Happened Today Lyrics REM Collapse Into Now

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, and 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!
