Encyclopedia : D : DO : DON : (Don't Go Back To) Rockville
(Don't Go Back To) Rockville was the second and final single released by R.E.M. from their second studio album Reckoning. The song failed to chart on either the Billboard Hot 100 or the UK Singles Charts.
The song was written by Mike Mills as a plea to his then girlfriend, Ingrid Schorr, not to return to her hometown of Rockville, Maryland. [[Citing sources citation needed]]
In recent performances Mike Mills has taken lead vocals instead of Michael Stipe. A live version of the song was released as the B-side to Leaving New York in 2004.
