R.E.M. · Other Songs - R.E.M.
For someone you're dreamin' of
Tomorrow you'll be wakin
Into the Arms, into the arms of Love
Maybe tonight you're cryin
Like a poor wounded dove
Tell me you'll soon be flying
Into the Arms, into the arms of love
Maybe tonight you're takin
You couldn't get enough
Honey you'll soon be wakin'
Into the Arms, into the arms of Love
Maybe the world is falling
It wasn't strong enough
Tell me you'll soon be crawling
Into the Arms, into the arms of Love
(repeat to end)
Arms Of Love
Arms Of Love stands as a standout track from R.E.M.'s landmark 1991 album, Out of Time. Released during a period of significant commercial success for the Athens, Georgia-based band, the song captures the group's signature blend of jangly guitar textures and introspective songwriting. While the album is often defined by its massive singles, this recording offers a more intimate glimpse into the band's evolving sound as they navigated the transition from alternative rock to mainstream pop. The track features the band's characteristic atmospheric production and Michael Stipe's enigmatic vocal delivery, contributing to the rich sonic landscape that defined their early nineties output. As part of a celebrated discography, the song remains a testament to the group's ability to craft enduring melodies that resonate with listeners across generations.
