[ReneAsologuitar]

"The One I Love" is a song by American alternative rock band R.E.M. It was released on the band's fifth full-length studio album, Document, and also as a 7" vinyl single in 1987.

In March 2005, Q magazine placed "The One I Love" at No. 57 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks. In 2012, Slant Magazine listed the song as the 38th best single of the 1980s.

This song is dedicated to all the girls I've loved before.
Of course to my lovely wife, Mimi, most especially!!!

Hey Rene,

Great take on a fantastic song. Love the arrangement - it brings out the darkness and sadness in the tune. Reminds me a bit of the live acoustic version that was a B-side of one of REM’s 12 inch singles. I think you can find it on the extended Document re-issue on Spotify.

And of course you also nailed the vocals!

Cheers,

Dave
