Reading - as in Reciting Out Loud
- it's more of a specific Art & Skill than I think a lot of people realize.
Different than Writing. Different than Playing - or Singing.
A natural tendency is to go faster than the words might merit - just to fill the space & get thru it by oneself.

When Reciti ng & Playing are combined - the Musician(s) have to really the Poetry is already Music. & not trample all over it.
The Poet / Reader for his (her) part has to do suddenly what the Musicians are already used to - & give tone - & above all Space to it...

One of my first exposures to REM was on some *kids'* program ...actualy interviewed them & he was asked why the mumbling. They said two things: The voice is another instrument & shouldn't be separated from the overall sound with lyrics printed out. & - they were from Georgia where it's hot & humid like swimming thru the air - & their sound correlated to that. As a small-town NewHampshuh boy - that resonated too (or I thot it did)...

Intersting thing about You are the everything: There is a website where Michael Stipe responds to questions about the meaning of his songs popsongs. He was asked, "What does 'drifting off to sleep with your teeth in your mouth' refer to? [You Are the
Everything] Does the subject of the song wear dentures? It confounds
my interpretation of the rest of the song."

And Michael replied:
"I really hate that line, but what it really is, and I’m happy to shout this, is when you just wake up and your body is in that paralyzed state and you’re not sure you’re awake; and grinding your teeth together or biting down hard is the first acknowledgment that this is real life, not a dream. That’s what that line is, it just came off really really awkward. I’ve always regretted that line in that song, so thanks for the chance to speak out about it"

Yeah but also strong & bell-like. Some acoustic players really impress that way. I can fingerpick but to annunciate & ring out every note is another matter ...just like singers in a way.
