"Title"


Title, if indeed that is the name of this song and not just a name that has been latched on to by the bootleggers, is a song that was played several times during the 1987 Work Tour and a very poor audio quality demo was recorded in the early stages of the Green sessions. The song was abandoned most likely because it didn't suit the new style of Green and sounded a bit too much like the R.E.M. of old.

I don't think Stipe ever figured out proper lyrics, most the recordings feature him mumbling nonsense to form melodies. But it's a great song nevertheless and it's the first R.E.M. cover I've made for years and signals my intention to continue.
