This ” Song Instead Of A Kiss by” is one of my most loved songs by Canadian singer-songwriter Alannah Myles. She born in Toronto, Ontario and very soon after her self-titled debut album released in 1989, she got obtain and wide popularity. Her “Black Velvet” album 1990,” expesially a single taken from that album, topped the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, and till now this song have stayed a hit of number 1. She became a lesbian poster child. So, Alannah Myles, “Song Instead Of A Kiss by”, lyrics by Alannah Myles

Song
Instead of a kiss
Baby this is a

Song
Instead of a kiss

For all of you who ache, who long
For nights like this

Song
Instead of a touch
Darlin’ this is a

Song
Instead of a touch

To all of you who wait so long
And need so much

It is for those who like to cling
It is to those, to those I sing
Here is a song instead of a clutch
Instead of a moon
Instead of a soothing touch
In the afternoon

It is for those who like to cling
It is to those, to those I sing
Here is a song instead of a clutch
Instead of a moon
Instead of a soothing touch
In the afternoon

R.E.M. is formed in 1980, they are from Athens, Georgia. The band consists of Michael Stipe (vocals), Peter Buck (guitar), Mike Mills (bass), and Bill Berry (drums). Originally Stipe and Buck began playing music together as Mills and Berry were doing the same. After being introduced together by a friend, the 4 men teamed up to play at a friend’s party, calling themselves the “Twisted Kites.” Soon after, the named themselves R.E.M. and began touring small, southern gigs playing cover tunes. In the meantime, the band started to refine their sound, write their own tunes, and develop a following. R.E.M. began their career with a large following with college audiences in the early 80s and were regarded as one of the pioneers to the alternative music sound. As alternative music moved beyond college radio and into other music platforms, R.E.M. kept the pace and grew in universal popularity as well. When punk rock faded and synthesized alternative music grew in the early 80s, R.E.M. maintained a pure, un-synthesized rock/alternative sound.

Receiving department, 3 a.m.
Staff cuts have socked up the overage
Directives are posted
No callbacks, complaints
Everywhere is calm

Hong Kong is present
Taipei awakes
All talk of circadian rhythm

I see today with a newsprint fray
My night is colored headache grey
Daysleeper, daysleeper, daysleeper

The bull and the bear are marking
Their territories
They’re leading the blind with
Their international glories

I’m the screen, the blinding light
I’m the screen, I work at night

I see today with a newsprint fray
My night is colored headache grey
Don’t wake me with so much
Daysleeper

They cried the other night
I can’t even say why
Fluorescent flat caffeine lights
Its furious balancing

I’m the screen, the blinding light
I’m the screen, I work at night

I see today with a newsprint fray
My night is colored headache grey
Don’t wake me with so much
Don’t wake me with so much. The
Ocean machine is set to 9
I’ll squeeze into heaven and valentine
My bed is pulling me,
Gravity
Daysleeper, daysleeper
Daysleeper, daysleeper, daysleeper
