R.E.M. - Wendell Gee
Uploaded by: 20000miles
Video Description:
Off the Fables of the Reconstruction album
That's when Wendell Gee takes a tug Upon the string that held the line of trees Behind the house he lived in He was reared to give respect But somewhere down the line he chose To whistle as the wind blows Whistle as the wind blows with me He had a dream one night That the tree had lost its middl
e So he built a trunk of chicken wire To try to hold it up But the wire, the wire turned to lizard skin And when he climbed inside There wasn't even time to say Goodbye to Wendell Gee So whistle as the wind blows Whistle as the wind blows with me There wasn't even time to say Goodbye to Wendell Gee
So whistle as the wind blows Whistle as the wind blows with me If the wind were colors And if the air could speak Then whistle as the wind blows Whistle as the wind blows

| Beautiful song! Thank you 20kmiles for posting it! I love REM's early material. When I first played Murmur in my late teens, i was blown away by what I heard. REM is easily my all time favourite band. Stipe was at his best when he sang like he had pebbles in his mouth :) |

| Definitely one of my Top 10 REM songs. Very fun to sing! Note to listenasthewindblows - Stipe uses both "whistle" and "listen" in the song, it's classic Stipe word switching, which he used to do so much back then. |

| This song is kinda funny and sad at the same time, 'ya know? I love this CD, it's very unique and I like the banjo solo in this song! REM IS the most unique band I've ever come across. You'd never find one of those mindless/bimbo pop singers naming one of their songs "Wendell Gee". |

| I met Wendell Gee in Jefferson, GA in 1991. He ran a used car dealership right off Interstate 85. He constantly ate peppermint candy because he was trying to quit smoking. He told me, "If my wife catches me smoking, I'll be dead." True story. |
