This song was written as a tribute to Stipe's long time friend, River Phoenix. Why is there no mention of this? Stipe mentions it somewhere in an interview, maybe on the "In time" DVD I have.. 203.206.183.48 01:59, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The song was released before Phoenix died. It's R.E.M.'s follow up album, Monster, that's dedicated "For River". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.140.198.71 (talk) 11:54, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
