Quando, para os jovens, as portas se vão fechando

cada vez mais e a realização dos sonhos fica mais distante, deixo-vos estas palavras dos R.E.M. que falam da importância de os perseguir... aos sonhos, claro!
A canção intitula-se "All the way to Reno" e evoca o sonho absurdo, eventualmente quimérico, ou, pelo menos, estranho, de um jovem que decide ir para Reno para se tornar... uma estrela musical.
Estranho? Absurdo? Quimérico? Como muitos dos sonhos que nos fazem ir em frente, afinal!

"Humming
all the way to Reno
you've dusted the non-believers
and challenged the laws of chance
now, sweet
you were so sugar sweet
you may as well have had 'kick me'
fastened on your sleeve

you know what you are,
you're gonna be a star
you know what you are
you're gonna be a star

wing
is written on your feet
your Achilles heel
is a tendency
to dream
but you've know that from the beginning
you didn't have to go so far
you didn't have to go.

you know what you are,
you're gonna be a star
you know what you are
you're gonna be a star

you know who you are
you know who you are
you know who you are.

humming
all the way to Reno,
you've written your own directions
and whistled the rules of change

you know what you are
you're gonna be a star
you know what you are
you're gonna be a star
you know what you are
you're gonna be a star
you know what you are
you're gonna be a star

humming
all the way to Reno
all the way to Reno
all the way to Reno

you're gonna be a star, you are
you're gonna be a star"
