"Photograph" brought R.E.M. and Natalie Merchant together in 1993, and it's a true collaboration: Merchant shares the writing credit with Michael Stipe, Peter Buck, Mike Mills and Bill Berry, and her voice curls around Stipe's lead on the backing vocals. Buck's guitar jangles and chimes, Mills and Berry keep a steady, loping pulse, and Scott Litt, who produced it with the band and mixed it, keeps the sound warm and unfussy, letting the two voices carry it.
