I always thought I was very romantic, but you are much worse. But after listening to this song, I felt that I was still far behind. This song is the third single from REM's album "Up". Lyricist Michael Stipe was influenced by the Beach Boys and the Beatles, and he wanted this song to be the most romantic song he had ever written. According to an exclusive interview with Canadian news site CANOE, the song was inspired by: “I was driving on Santa Monica Boulevard at that time, and... I was stuck in traffic because there was a traffic jam on Santa Monica Boulevard at noon. Fortunately, I had a tape, and I was listening to the tape in the car, trying to find some inspiration. I wrote this line: ‘I found a way to make you smile (I found a way to make you smile)'. I'm thinking, this is the most beautiful thing in the world. ” I've found a way to make you I've found a way A way to make you smile I read bad poetry Into your machine I save your messages Just to hear your voice You always listen carefully To awkward rhymes You always say your name, Like I wouldn't know it's you, as if I didn't know it was you At your most beautiful (Chorus) I've found a way to make you I've found a way A way to make you smile At my most beautiful I count your eyelashes, secretly With every one, whisper I love you I let you sleep I let you sleep I know you're closed eye watching me, Listening I thought I saw a smile (Chorus) I've found a way to make you I've found a way A way to make you smile A way to make you smile
