Half A World Away - R.E.M.

Like a lot of videos on this blog, today's mid-week music selection is from R.E.M. - back in 1991, they released their seventh album, called Out of Time. It spent 183 weeks on the British album charts, and this was the 8th track on it. The song was never released as a single, but R.E.M. decided to make a video for it anyway, which eventually appeared on the compilation This Film Is On. It was directed by Jim McKay and the actor is Tom Gilroy. The song also has the distinction of once appearing in Scrubs.
