Il cantante e fotografo Michael Stipe ha compiuto 57 anni. Per celebrare il suo compleanno vi posto il brano Drive dei R.E.M. con testo e video.
John Michael Stipe è nato a Decatur, USA, il 4 gennaio 1960. Iniziò ad interessarsi di musica prendendo ispirazione da Patty Smith.
Nel 1980 fondò i R.E.M. con Peter Buck, Mike Mills e Bill Berry. R.E.M. sta per rapid eye movement, la fase del sonno in cui si sogna.
Dopo il 2011, anno dello scioglimento della band, Stipe si è ritirato dalla musica, dedicandosi alla fotografia.
Nel 2016 è tornato ad esibirsi, cantando The Man Who Sold the World di David Bowie.
In questo anno dovrebbe tornare con un nuovo ed atteso album.
Per celebrare il suo 57° compleanno, vi posto il brano Drive, estratto dall’ album dei R.E.M. Automatic for the People del 1992.
Testo: R.E.M. – Drive
Smack, crack, bushwhacked
Tie another one to your racks, baby
Hey kids, rock and roll
Nobody tells you where to go, baby
What if I ride, what if you walk?
What if you rock around the clock?
Tick-tock, tick-tock
What if you did, what if you walk?
What if you tried to get off, baby?
Hey, kids, where are you?
Nobody tells you what to do, baby
Hey kids, shake a leg
Maybe you’re crazy in the head, baby
Maybe you did, maybe you walked
Maybe you rocked around the clock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Maybe I ride, maybe you walk
Maybe I drive to get off, baby
Hey kids, shake a leg
Maybe you’re crazy in the head, baby
Ollie, ollie, ollie ollie ollie
Ollie ollie in come free, baby
Hey, kids, where are you?
Nobody tells you what to do, baby
Smack, crack, shack-a-lack
Tie another one to your backs, baby
Hey kids, rock and roll
Nobody tells you where to go, baby
Maybe you did, maybe you walk
Maybe you rock around the clock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Maybe I ride, maybe you walk
Maybe I drive to get off, baby
Hey kids, where are you?
Nobody tells you what to do, baby
Hey kids, rock and roll
Nobody tells you where to go, baby, baby, baby
