bodies of water cover R.E.M.

I'm sure by now you've heard about Stereogum's R.E.M. tribute Drive XV: A Tribute to Automatic For the People, featuring the likes of Rogue Wave, the Meat Puppets, Figurines, and more. One of the "unreleased b-sides" is this cover of "Everybody Hurts," by L.A.'s Bodies of Water. I was never a huge fan of the original version, but the beautiful harmonies on this one make it a keeper.
