One of my favourite R.E.M. songs has to be ‘The Great Beyond’. It’s amazing that this ‘great’ song only made it to number 57 in the US charts!
The song was taken from soundtrack of the movie ‘Man on the Moon’, in which R.E.M. created the score for. The video features clips of comedian Andy Kaufman, of whom the movie was about.

Related PostsThe Goo Goo Dolls’ Iris is one of my most favourites songs ever. I’ve heard it so many times and still it sounds as wonderful as the first time I heard it.
Of course, it’s another song from yet another movie soundtrack, this time the ‘City of Angels’. If you haven’t got the soundtrack, it’s well worth buying, it features other amazing songs, like Sarah McLachlan’s ‘Angel’, Alanis Morissette’s ‘Uninvited’ and U2’s ‘If God Will Send His Angels’. The film score by composer Gabriel Yared is fantastic too.
I have to mention Ronan Keating’s cover of this song, as it was a total disaster. Artists should know by now that straight copies of classic songs just don’t work.

Related PostsI can’t say I’m a fan of Take That, but they’ve released a very nice pop song for the movie ‘Stardust’.
‘Rule the World’, which oddly doesn’t appear on the movie’s soundtrack, is apparently only available via a new version of the band’s album ‘Beautiful World’.
The video below is the full version, enjoy!
