The last chorus of "The Flowers of Guatemala" is still magic. I still like how they shift the words around between the background chorus and the fore. There's also a great reverb on the background chorus that makes the combination sweet to listen to.
The flowers cover everything (Amanita is the name)
they cover over everything
the flowers cover everything
The flowers cover every name (Amanita is the name)
They cover over every name
The flowers cover every name - The Flowers of Guatemala - Life's Rich Pageant - R.E.M.
