when did the song more than words come out?
25 may 2012
the track is known for its quick flying, seemingly stream of consciousness rant with a number of diverse references, such as a quartet of individuals with the initials "l.b.": leonard bernstein, leonid brezhnev, lenny bruce, and lester bangs. in a 1990s interview with "musician" magazine, r.e.m.'s lead singer michael stipe claimed that the "l.b." references came from a dream he had in which he found himself at a party surrounded by famous people who all shared those initials. "the words come from everywhere." stipe explained to "q magazine" in 1992. "i'm extremely aware of everything around me, whether i am in a sleeping state, awake, dream-state or just in day to day life, so that ended up in the song along with a lot of stuff i'd seen when i was flipping tv channels. it's a collection of streams of consciousness."
it's the end of the world as we know it (and i feel fine)
