John Michael Stipe (Decatur, 4 de Janeiro de 1960) é um cantor americano, vocalista da extinta banda de rock R.E.M..

Stipe é conhecido por seu estilo de cantar "rangendo seus dentes" o começo de sua carreira, o surrealismo complexo de suas letras, e seu ativismo político e social. Stipe e os outros membros da R.E.M. Eles também são conhecidos por serem os pioneiros do rock alternativo, e inspiraram alguns dos grupos da cena alternativa da década de 1990, como Nirvana, Pearl Jam e Radiohead. Também lidou com o estilo visual do REM, geralmente selecionando a capa do álbum e orientando muitos dos vídeos de música da banda.

"In the Sun" is the second single from Joseph Arthur's second studio album Come to Where I'm From, though the song had been performed during Joseph's live shows as early as 1996. The single was released in the UK and Europe on April 23, 2001 via Real World Records and Virgin Records. The original singles were very limited in production and are now out of print and hard to find. A music video was produced for the song, directed by Anton Corbijn. The video is featured on the Directors Label series DVD The Work of Director Anton Corbijn.

I picture you in the sun wondering what went wrong

And falling down on your knees asking for sympathy

And being caught in between all you wish for and all you seen

And trying to find anything you can feel that you can believe in

May god's love be with you

Always

May god's love be with you

I know i would apologize if i could see your eyes

'cause when you showed me myself i became someone else

But i was caught in between all you wish for and all you need

I picture you fast asleep

A nightmare comes

You can't keep awake

May god's love be with you

Always

May god's love be with you

'cause if i find

If i find my own way

How much will i find

If i find

If i find my own way

How much will i find

You

I don't know anymore

What it's for

I'm not even sure

If there is anyone who is in the sun

Will you help me to understand

'cause i been caught in between all i wish for and all i need

Maybe you're not even sure what it's for

Any more than me

May god's love be with you

Always

May god's love be with you
