This Song Is Here

A Christmas gift for Christmas Day. This popped up on Bandcamp on the evening of 23rd December, an instant hit for me. DJ Jon Carter (Monkey Mafia and Heavenly Social) has done an edit/ remix (or R.E.M. ix) of the song known as Eleventh Untitled Song, the final song on R.E.M.'s 1989 album Green, transforming it into a beautiful Balearic/ electronic disco tune, with Michael Stipe and Mike Mills' vocals over a brand new track, retitled They Love You. It's as Christmassy as you like, not tinsel and schmaltz, but joyous disco love. Find it at Bandcamp. All proceeds will go to help the homeless in January, the coldest month of the year. 

'This light is here to keep you warm/ This song is here to keep you strong/ I made a list/ Of things to say/ But all I really want to say is/ Hold her and keep him strong/ While I'm away from here'

Here's the 1989 original, a song they added to the end of Green with Bill and Peter swapping instruments, and the song unlisted on the sleeve.

Happy Christmas everyone, hope you have a lovely day with the people you want to be with.
