On “Daysleeper” by REM

I have been thinking about this song a lot because from the video for it, it seems to be set in East Asia, where I lived a few years and where I sometimes had trouble sleeping at night. I once took a day off of work because my insomnia got so bad.

The lead singer of REM is gay, but I like and respect his songs and videos. One line from the song is: “I cried the other night; I don’t even know why.”

I said this in a past post, I have no problem with gay people as long as they are not trying to physically hurt straight people.”

“White, Grey, Blue” by yours truly

White and grey clouds above
The foothills
Beneath clear blue sky.
Will there be rain?
