She was going to rerelase the song as a collaboration with The Bad Wolves (?!) and with … ahem … updated lyrics to make it more relevant to current events. And then this relatively young woman dies suddenly with no plausible explanation provided by the press. The Bad Wolves release it anyway as a tribute to her. Very fishy.
I kinda feel like "Losing My Religion" is really about Stipe's mixed feelings about joining the Cabal to become famous. "Oh no, I've said too much … I haven't said enough" sounds like something you'd say when you'd like to talk but are afraid to.
