"Feeling Gravity's Pull" comes from Fables of the Reconstruction, the 1985 album R.E.M. made with producer Joe Boyd, and it's a strange, heavy-lidded piece of work. All four members share the writing credit. Peter Buck's guitar picks out a queasy, spiraling figure, Mike Mills and Bill Berry lurch in and out underneath, and Michael Stipe floats over the top like he's reporting from a dream he can't quite shake. Less jangle than undertow, it's R.E.M. in a deeply unsettled mood.
