The Great Beyond "The Great Beyond" is a song by R.E.M. It is not featured on an original studio album as it was written specifically for the 1999 movie "Man on the Moon" but was released as a single the following year for support of the film's soundtrack album. The single reached #3 in the UK singles chart in January 2000, the band's highest ever placing in that country. The unedited version is included in two R.E.M. compilations: "In Time - The Best of R.E.M. 1988-2003" and "Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage 1982–2011". On the "Man on the Moon" soundtrack, there is some dialogue from the movie at the end of the track; meanwhile, the single version is a radio edit, with the bridge omitted.
