[harnas2929]

[shauder100]

[Sunshine1965izhere]

wonderful song! :-)

[newoldtymer]

NAIHF is R.E.M.'s best record.

[swimsack]

I love how Mike keeps walking away from the mic to contemplate his place and role in the universe...he's so artistically complicated.

[fred6059]

@swimsack

Do you mean MIchael?

[japinvt]

Remind me of Maps and Legends. Similar concepts?

[DachshundAdvil]

I move across the room with a heart full of gloom... I’m stronger than you think. I live a simple life, unfettered by complex sweets. You think this isn't me? Don't be weak...there I go again, I'm sorry

[DachshundAdvil]

one of their extremely underrated masterpieces

[1rhpsfan]

5 poeple are Naval Gazers

[CrazyAss140]

dont understand why this song has been excluded from their new Best Of album.

good song.

[fuzzynippleman]

"I move across the room with a heart full of gloom. I'm stronger than you think."

[komunicador]

REM and Valeria Golino, the best couple.

[oldwight]

I feel like somebody died, til I realised that the music, like the mar - ket, is immortal. And I guess we didn't have all these great youtube resources back in 1988 when I started listening to these guys. Go on a long drive with "Drive" turned up high, that's what it's all about....

[fbc442]

Saw them live at Loch Lomond, Scotland thanks for the music guys!!

[MultiSilversky]

GREAT BAND! YOU'LL NEVER DIE! MISS YOU!!!

[MrJoeIbanez]

My favorite R.E.M. song. Thanks for existing!

[thn819]

id sooner chew my leg off.lyrical genius.

[stanpolito]

Bellissima Valeria Golino..

Bellissimo anche Stipe..se fossi donna me lo scoperei..

[cazzandra86]

@stanpolito se fossi donna non avresti nessuna chance

[Sean1983]

It was when they put this album out that I became a big fan. 13 years old and they were the first band that mattered to me.

[clausmoth]

My favourite. R.I.P. R.E.M.

[elkiquej]

I remember the 1st time I listened to this song: I became into a big fan of 'em. I feel lucky I saw em live and I truly enjoyed the nice vibe of their beautiful music.

I'll miss'em, but their music is still there! Yesterday I was listening to "eponymous", unaware of what was happening. Anyway... Thank you R.E.M.!

[pogizmo]

bye bye R.E.M. ... NAIHF Rocks...

[0Chickenfoot]

This band had meaning and vision! Who would ever thought that there music KICKED SERIOUS ASS!!!!!!!!! RIP R.E.M ! See ya soon!

[kcmm1971]

It,s very bittersweet :'(

[TheHeroineaddict]

5 people have no taste in music...

[superflavik]

Ma è Valeria Golino?!

[SpilloBB]

@superflavik si si

[Mare0110K]

valeria golino is sooo sweet and beautiful

[esma123ful]

SO GREAT SONG AND VIDEO SPOT...

[OzixXx]

Perfect. Obviously while listening that song, I feel love and passion.

[5Toesss]

Citroen 2CV!!!

[KillingJoke696]

New Adventures in Hifi now thats an underratred album, love it

[DrJReefer]

@KillingJoke696 Michaels favourite I understand. Scary to think even that came out getting on for 20 years ago.

[Afelixsantos]

@KillingJoke696 that´s for sure. "Hi-Fi" is so good, I love this one!

[gigoer]

@KillingJoke696 Too true my friend. They were one absolutely fantastic band & I'm still so disappointed they called it a day

[MrTheChimera]

@KillingJoke696 True that, that was overall good, but after this it was downfall

[MrTheChimera]

@KillingJoke696 Yeah, but next without Berry are badly

[lilychanger]

perfect mr stipe  <3

[EnjoyTheSurface]

Stipe is kewl.... a cool man. 

[PenguinMasterChannel]

My mom likes this band.

[tquasa]

@PenguinMasterChannel I wish my mom liked bands like R.E.M., you're lucky lol.

[wreyoG]

@PenguinMasterChannel mine too and she's 59

[buzzcity01]

@PenguinMasterChannel... then your mom is awesome.

[ZeldaFoxEars]

@PenguinMasterChannel Mommy has good taste.

[TheVanarbulax]

Yeah you want it, you think. But you're anxious, you're tired, you're lying naked and it's just not coming to you. You so exhausted and timid you just can't be spontaneous and you'd sooner chew your leg off than fake it.

[whipchorus]

Valeria Golino channeling Natalie Wood here? Someone please agree with me. 

[th3oceanBlu]

i still listen to this one alot. great song. .i think that was s upposed to be the actress Pier Angeli , i hear her and James Dean were good friends, i have a feeling Michael is a James Dean fan 2.

[maldidoGringo]

REM sounds "home" to me

[themooddisorders]

@maldidoGringo Excellent

[33sera]

Oh my peer,

Your veneer is wearing thin and cracking

The surface informs that underneath,

Underneath is lacking

[33sera]

I move across the room

With a heart full of gloom,

Stronger than you think

[33sera]

You move across, innocence lost,

All static and desire,

You're blue in the face from navel gaze,

You set yourself on fire

[33sera]

Instead of just talking about it



[33sera]

It's time to start handing it around



[33sera]

I heard you all made $133 million last year

[33sera]

How much are you paying me Larry? 20,000? I want more than that

[33sera]

I'd sooner chew my leg off,

Than be trapped in this

How easy you think of all of this as bittersweet me

[tete3002]

REM is very open mind. I love them

[bimelkay]

Awesome

I love this song

My favourite REM song

[bimelkay]

Awesome

I love this song

[sarahmbarrett]

@bimelkay  The sadest Girl with a smile.

[bimelkay]

@sarahmbarrett Hi

[sjayneuk76]

The entire New Adventures In Hi-Fi is vastly underrated. Most of it is this good and yet it gets forgotten.

[hiphopmoment]

HIP HOP [RAP] CONTEST GOING DOWN :) CASH AWARDED TO 1ST PLACE :) HIP HOP [RAP] CONTEST GOING DOWN :) CASH AWARDED TO 1ST PLACE :)

[Accio801]

bellissima golino!!

[alexcastor]

why do they never play this live? its a great song

[davidwraith]

This may be my favorite R.E.M song after Lotus.

[Jesperbechpedersen]

A not very known R.E.M. song but one of my favourites. I remember "discovering" it on Absolute Music 14 and I sometimes still whip out the old disc just for the sake of this one song. Brilliant!

[sorcerer1975]

gosh the guys looked so young here ... i remember when " ... hi-fi " first came out, i bought it and fell completly and totally in love with this album. even after all these years ( 15 years ) " NAIHF " is still my all time favorte album and " automatic " is second ...

[111teamomori]

I love the association of being trapped in a relationship with being trapped in an animal trap. Because the feeling can be just as strong

[Rade975]

I'm too

[SergiuGothic]

what's the name of the video in background?

[nicholsjoshua15]

@SergiuGothic "Tired And Naked," it's a French or Italian movie it's pretty good I had to watch it for school. If you ever watch a foreign movie watch it with the official audio and English Subtitles. My favorite Foreign Film is Das Boot.

[commanderjohnkoenig]

Oh the memories ... I which I could go back in time.

[whirlpoolzend]

3:18 Brando?

[dictator54]

one of my all time FAV songs from R.E.M.

[Fishspeakers]

Why did you have to put the beginning of the Everybody Hurts video at the beginning?

[nicholsjoshua15]

I would like to share a Christmas story with all of you, it involves R. E. M. and The Smashing Pumpkins. When I was eight-years-old I woke up and found R. E. M., New Adventures In Hi-Fi and Smashing Pumpkins, Adore in my stocking and I spent my whole Christmas with Rock & Roll.

[peterbuckisgod]

Sometimes you forget just how good a song is - but that allows you to re-discover the greatness of it - and i've just re-discovered the greatness of this!

[KOSMICKEN09]

Love R.E.M. when they use the jangly guitar sound.....

[FleshEater31]

the video in the background reminds me of sex, lies and videotape. i havent seen this video in forever, i missed this song :)

[staind101mode]

with this song remind me in the 97 when i was single young cute and shape now old,ugly and fat lol...but this one makes me feel young again i dint know why it lift my spirit ...by the way his name is scott

[foilseal]

REM singer name is Toots O'Flanagan?

[andrasschweigert]

@foilseal

No, it's Michael Stipe.

[dictator54]

this song didn't do very well for them i believe it came out 95 i luv it thought it was one of there best!!!!!!

[wiljjHeigl]

everyone says that "Automatic for the People" is the best album R.E.M. made and, ok, "Automatic..." may be their best album, but my favourite one is "New Adventures in Hi-Fi". besides, the siren in "Leave" totally kicks ass!

[sorcerer1975]

@wiljjHeigl i agree, " new adventures " is my favorite also ...

[MikoSubaru]

is this from a movie?

[tenmilliondollarsnow]

How I love love love Michael Stipe's mannerism in this vid. Can't stop watching.

[Neomindmusic]

Guess why I don't know this video...

Yeah, Mtv became shit since 2005.

Shitty reallity shows.

[nicholsjoshua15]

@Neomindmusic It's like they don't get it M.T.V Music. TeleVision . I'm an idiot from Alabama studying for his GED and I know what the initials MTV stand for.

[nicholsjoshua15]

My brother wore a coat like Michael Strips has on when he went to Halloween Party as Tyler Dirden from Fight Club

[Flauta19]

its difficult to say... but maybe New adventures in HI FI its their best album.... Love this song, love the whole album, love the sleeve. Excellent.

[ThePbjloaf]

@Flauta19

A really good one indeed, the last really good REM album IMHO...IIRC Bill Berry retired after that...the last one, Accelerate, was good, but it was the 1st good one in a long time

[ReadeRomke]

@nicholsjoshua15, gremans? Germans! :-)

[emonemojay]

lol one dislike :P

[tubular618]

Ironically, REM has done some of their best songs after Bill Berry left: not because of his absence, but because it forced them to reinvent themselves.

[ThePbjloaf]

@tubular618

I respectfully disagree. After Bill Berry left, the REM I knew and loved (since 1985) ceased to exist, until they did "Acellerate". JMHO.

[fasfadsfsd]

@tubular618 some good singles but poor albums.

[tubular618]

@fasfadsfsd Reveal is one of their best.

[smpoinde]

@blueroomexit

the girl was in Hot Shots (I & duex)

[ronsworld250]

Bill, please come back!!!

[mx6lover]

MONSTER MONSTER MONSTER

[uclrichard]

the bassline is epic...mike mills is the most underrated musician in rock history

[CarlLikes]

There are some bands at such a higher level, it almost defies words

[kerrypentlow]

Did you ever get the feeling that you're being watched?

[yellowtonkatoy]

The guy who plays "IL GONZO" in the video is now in a must-see series of documentaries titled, "JOHNNY BERLIN," made by the director of this video with Exec Producer, Michael Stipe - the trailers are here on YouTube!

[rem2267]

The song absolutely ROCKS, and the video is fantastic. The acknowledgment of the dubious Italian movie within the context of this video is a testament of REM's intelligence and great sense of humor.

p.s.: I wanted to say here that I want Mike's purple jacket, but then I realized that it's a suit - he has matching pants..... which just made me giggle a lot. (Hi, Mike!)

[britdemo]

awsome i fucking love this band , is there anything new out so far in 2010

[Trafalgar76]

Lol, yes, the 2CV,... and the wallpaper of Federico Fellini :-)

[2004tempaul]

Wow. I have been a fan forever and forgot about this one...damn, that's some sweet action

[Linedash]

Yeah, i love this song and video.

[reivenlocke]

Valeria Golino FTW!

"I move across....innocence lost."...that is a feeling put to words in your 20s going into your 30s.

[KingCrimson776]

@reivenlocke I feel that going from teens to 20's.

[Rade975]

@KingCrimson776 Im too

[Rade975]

@KingCrimson776 I'm too

[BuzzcutGtr]

@reivenlocke "I don't know what I'm hungry for / I don't know what I want anymore" is for your mid 40's. ;-)

[emilien88]

I love the Citroën 2CV at 0:42!! :)

And love this song!!!

[ronsworld250]

Great song on a great album.

[HipHopAus]

Chorus is so fucking epic. This song always helps lift my mood.
