The morose, mandolin-fueled “Losing My Religion” was the fulcrum for the most unlikely star turn in pop music history. Warner Bros., the band’s label, was initially opposed to using the song, which has no chorus, as the lead single for their watershed album, Out Of Time. As the story goes, Buck came up with the song’s signature lick while watching TV with the tape recorder on, while in the midst of fiddling around with the instrument he had just bought. Recording the track, Michael Stipe nailed his vocals in a single pass. “Losing my religion” is actually an old southern expression for being at the end of one’s rope, and the moment when politeness gives way to anger.
