Description
In their video for Accelerate track "Man-Sized Wreath," R.E.M. ups the production value from their recent Vincent Moon clips to a computer animated world of heavy-hand political statement -- video game oil men, Tiananmen Square references, and billboard-sized shots of the lyrics telling us to do something or other about this or that.
The video was directed by the Toronto-based Crush Inc., who most recently directed the video for R.E.M.'s second single "Hollow Man."
REM Man-Sized Wreath Lyrics
Turning on the TV and what do I see?
A pageantry of empty gestures all lined up for me - wow!
I'd have thought by now we would be ready to proceed
But a tearful hymn to tug the heart
And a man-sized wreath - ow!
Throw it on the fire
Throw it in the air
Kick it out on the dance-floor like you just don't care, oh
Give me some
Wave the palms, steal the alms, fists in the air
A motorcade up the ninth street shows the people that you care - ow!
Nature abhors a vacuum but what's between your ears?
Your judgement clouded with fearful thoughts
A headlights and a deer - ow!
Throw it on the fire
Throw it in the air
Kick it out on the dance-floor like you just don't care
Look at what I've found
Everybody look around
Everybody looking like they just don't care, oh
Give me some
Well I'm not deceived by pomp and odious conceit
But a tearful hymn to tug the heart
And a man-sized wreath-ow!
Throw it on the fire
Throw it in the air
Kick it out on the dance-floor like you just don't care
Look at what I've found
Everybody look around
Everybody looking like they just don't care
Throw it on the fire
Throw it in the air
Kick it out on the dance-floor like you just don't care, oh
Give me some
Give me some
Give me some.
