 when Mike, Peter, and Bill, the other members of REM, were playing so fast that I couldn't keep up, and I thought it was too fast, and they wouldn't slow down because they wanted to play really fast. So I just started slowing down my part, and that developed into a vocal style, I think, where I held my vowels longer than you're supposed to. You know, we get that now from early Drake, but people weren't really singing like that back then.
