- Песню в основном написал барабанщик Билл Берри — изначально это была минутная кантри-песенка. Группа вдохновлялась Otis Redding и его альбомом «Pain in My Heart». Струнную аранжировку написал Джон Пол Джонс из Led Zeppelin, дирижируя Атлантским симфоническим оркестром. Легислатура штата Невада официально похвалила R.E.M. за вклад в предотвращение подростковых суицидов.
