REM - she just wants to be, 2001

"The song begins with a lonely acoustic guitar riff from Peter. It’s simple but bittersweet and makes you think you are in for a slower type of song like a ballad. But after playing the riff twice through, Peter stops and Michael’s stark vocals enter the mix. And when that happens, Peter starts this faster acoustic progression that is a mix of strumming and picking out the root notes."
