Michael Stipe with Coldplay

Last week I had a Hebrew midterm to take early on a Monday morning... Unfortunately at 10 PM on Sunday night, a crucial time to be studying, Coldplay appeared live on PBS at the Austin Music Festival. It was well worth putting studies aside to take in this live Coldplay concert. A special surprise appeared in the form of Michael Stipe (REM) singing a song from his epic satire Saved. I have hunted this song for a while and to finally have this song, sang by Coldplay and Michael Stipe, has been a gift. I'll post the lyrics below the Youtube.



I picture you in the sun wondering what went wrong
And falling down on your knees asking for sympathy
And being caught in between all you wish for and all you seen
And trying to find anything you can feel that you can believe in

May gods love be with you
Always
May gods love be with you

I know I would apologize if I could see your eyes
cause when you showed me myself I became someone else
But I was caught in between all you wish for and all you need
I picture you fast asleep
A nightmare comes
You cant keep awake

May gods love be with you
Always
May gods love be with you

cause if I find
If I find my own way
How much will I find
If I find
If I find my own way
How much will I find
You

I dont know anymore
What its for
Im not even sure
If there is anyone who is in the sun
Will you help me to understand
cause I been caught in between all I wish for and all I need
Maybe youre not even sure what its for
Any more than me

May gods love be with you
Always
May gods love be with you
