Featured review
Unusual imagery but it's a great song from the group
Another great track by R. E. M., "Fall On Me" got an enigmatic music video composed of upside down images of a quarry and industrial equipment as the even more
enigmatic lyrics keep popping on the screen occupying the frame; group does not appear at all except for the sound, a quiet trademark of their in their early videos
such as "It's the End of the World As We Know It" or "Talk About the Passion" just to mention a few. It's not visually interesting to watch as the incredibly artistic
"Losing My Religion" (a must-see classic), so the key element of appreciation
found here is obviously the song and its message about oppression and how progress disrupts and affects the environment and impacts the way we live, turning everything into
a chaos. We just hope that those industrial elements, or the pollution or anything just don't fall on us. 8/10.
