🚂 “Take a break, Driver 8/Driver 8 take a break…” Released as a single on September 3, 1985, “Driver 8” was according to Peter, “probably the quintessential R.E.M. song of that period. The chord changes, melodies, and harmonies are very representative of what we were doing.”

“It’s Monday. It’s going to be over 100 degrees in Athens today, & I’m packing for a tour that will encompass nine time zones, three or four climates, and two seasons.
