So. Central Rain
R.E.M.'s apology, played once in Munich by a band who owed them a great deal.
1984
reckoning
“So. Central Rain (I'm Sorry)” was R.E.M.'s first single from Reckoning, and it is the song where Michael Stipe's voice stops hiding behind the mix.
What R.E.M. did for Radiohead is documented elsewhere on this site: the 1995 tour they took the younger band out on, and the line Stipe gave Yorke for getting through it, which became the chorus of “How to Disappear Completely”.
