R.E.M. - Leave (Official Audio)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXj6_-UwkOUZajímavost (sorry, nemam ted cas to prekladat :):
The siren noise you hear throughout the album version was manually created, not a sample looped in. From the book *R.E.M. Inside Out:
As Buck explained 'Leave' isn't "really much like anything we have done before." The seven-minute-plus song, the longest in the R.E.M. catalog to date, begins with a quiet baroquestyle acoustic passage before exploding into an ominous rocker with a persistent siren-like sound created by McCaughey on an Arp Odyssey. "Scott's holding down a key and moving the octave switch back and forth through the whole song,” explained Buck. "We could only play it once every other soundcheck, because Scott's wrist would be numb by the end of it.” The song was influenced, in part, by hip-hop act Public Enemy, who frequently employed siren-like wails in their tracks.
This reoccurring sound-somewhat reminiscent of a car alarm—is Mills' favorite part of the song. “You don't hear it after a minute or two, it just sort of becomes part of the song,but at the very beginning, you're like, 'What the hell is that?'”
