Lifes Rich Pageant (Pt. 2)
Manage episode 404538424 series 2762327
The Big Mates discuss bedtime routines, contact lenses, gravity, and Lifes Rich Pageant by R.E.M.
Adam, Steve, and Lucas continue their deep dive into the career and discography of R.E.M. by starting their track-by-track analysis of the band's fourth studio album, released in 1986. They talk about the writing and recording process, the context surrounding the songs, and offer up analysis, opinions, and thoughts from three differing perspectives on music, from being deeply into analysis and music, to not caring for art or critique, and everything in between.
They finally get stuck into the songs themselves, dissecting each one in turn, examining the intention behind them, what inspired the writing, and how they fit into the album as a whole.
What does this album sound like? How does a river catch on fire? What's the difference between dinner and supper? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?
Our next episode is out on Monday March 11th and will conclude our analysis of Lifes Rich Pageant.
