"Collapse Into Now" by R.E.M.

R.E.M.'s new album, "Collapse Into Now," will go on sale in March. If you can't wait that long, check out below the album's first video, "Mine Smell Like Honey." I liked the video -- it's monochromatic, until the very end, when it takes you by surprise and turns into sublimely restful and clarifying color -- and I just love the song.



An alternative version that scrolls the lyrics as the song unfolds is available here. Please also check out a few other sneak peeks into the album: Oh My Heart, It Happened Today, ÜBerlin, and Discoverer.
