Artist/Band: R.E.M.
Lyrics for Song: Belong
Lyrics for Album: Out Of Time

VIDEO :)
KEEP VISIBLE




Her world collapsed early Sunday morning
She got up from the kitchen table
Folded the newspaper and silenced the radio
Those creatures jumped the barricades
And have headed for the sea, sea

Those creatures jumped the barricades
and have headed for the sea
She began to breathe
To breathe at the thought of such freedom
Stood and whispered to her child, belong
She held the child and whispered
With calm, calm; belong

Stood and whispered to her child, belong
She held the child and whispered
With calm, calm; belong

These barricades can only hold for so long
Her world collapsed early Sunday morning
She took the child held tight
Opened the window
A breath, this song, how long
and knew, knew; belong

The song features the band's signature blend of melodic guitar work and atmospheric production, characteristic of their mature period. It explores themes of connection and identity with a reflective tone that resonated deeply with fans and critics alike. As part of the album's cohesive narrative, the track showcases the band's ability to craft emotionally resonant music that bridged the gap between indie sensibilities and mainstream appeal. Its enduring popularity highlights its status as a staple in the canon of 1990s rock anthems.
