This audio piece consists of three contemporary songs with verses oscillating between D major and G major with a chorus primarily built on E minor and A major. Each plays on its own unaltered timeline allowing the composition as a whole to shift in and out of phase with itself. Of particular interest are the moments when the vocalists offer an unintended call-and-response. For example, the end of the swell around 4:10 where Adam Duritz is calling out “I’m down on my knees” as Michael Stipe further clarifies with “sometimes.” Composed from the following songs:

Bright Eyes
Lua
I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning (2005)

REM
Everybody Hurts
Automatic for the People (1992)

Counting Crows
Sullivan Street
August and Everything After (1993)
