“The One I Love” is a song by American alternative rock band R.E.M. It was released on the band’s fifth full-length studio album, Document, and also as a 7" vinyl single in 1987.

In March 2005, Q magazine placed “The One I Love” at No. 57 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks. In 2012, Slant Magazine listed the song as the 38th best single of the 1980s.

This song is dedicated to all the girls I’ve loved before.
Of course to my lovely wife, Mimi, most especially!!!

Nice, brought out some mournful undertones and I got proper goosebumps when you hit the note on “Fiiireeee”. Good cover.

Anyone ever told you that your voice sounds a bit like Labi Siffre’s?

I reckon you’d do a cracking version of this

I love your comments.
I initially thought that this song is a love song, but the lyrics are quite telling “a simple prop to occupy my time”.
