"Oh My Heart" is a song by American alternative rock band R.E.M. It was released as the fourth single from the band's fifteenth studio album Collapse into Now on February 1, 2011. Its music video was directed by Jem Cohen.
As a tribute to the band, who were formed in Athens, Georgia, the University of Georgia features the song in several public service announcements which air during sporting events.
The song's lyrics, "Storm didn't kill me, the government changed," hint at Hurricane Katrina and the presidency of George W. Bush.
The song was featured in season 1, episode 3 of The Bear (TV series).[1]
