Why Does Everyone Hate 'Shiny Happy People'?
R.E.M.'s 'Shiny Happy People is undoubtedly the band's most divisive tune. It's unrelenting joyful poppiness marks a huge contrast to R.E.M.'s usual offering of dark, introspective songs like 'Losing My Religion', for example. Why did Michael Stipe choose to write this song? Is there a darker meaning behind its bubblegum exterior? This video explores how R.E.M. wrote and recorded 'Shiny Happy People' and the legacy the song left. ❤️Join my Patreon to support me as a creator and get your name added to the end of my videos: / musicmongoose ❤️Join this channel to get access to perks and stand out in the comments: / @musicmongoose 🛍️Music Mongoose Merchandise: https://music-mongoose-shop.fourthwal... ▶️▶️▶️CHAPTERS▶️▶️▶️ 00:00 - Intro 00:26 - Band Beginnings 03:30 - Out Of Time 04:50 - Darker Truth? -------------------------------------------- Creative Commons Licences in order images appear (attribution/source in bottom left of video) Peter Buck: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...
