You put this man on the Titanic and I guarantee you two things: 1) iceberg avoided; 2) love found.

The best thing you can say about Harry Belafonte is that he lived a magnificent life filled with art and the desire to fight for others who needed help. RIP legend. #harrybelafonte

I still think this is one of our best, most cohesive records. It was very exciting to put something out that we totally believed in and felt great about, though we certainly had no idea that it (or we) would have the life that it did. #Murmur

Today we’re celebrating the 40th anniversary of Murmur, the band’s debut album, released way back when on April 12, 1983. Visit REMHQ to read Bill, Peter, Mike, & Michael's Murmur Memories: bit.ly/murmur40 #murmur40 📸 @BossladyVego
