In the mid 1990s at the height of their popularity, the frontman/singer of the band R.E.M. Michael Stipe decided one day to take a personal shot at The Beatles.

Now the darkness only stays at night time
In the morning it will fade away
Daylight is good
At arriving at the right time
But it’s not always going
To be this grey

All things must pass
All things must pass away
