R.E.M - Suspicion

[REMONSTER]

I luv that bald dude and I'm not even Gay!...I SWEAR!!!

[edwinmusic]

IT IS A OFFICIAL VIDEO? PLEASE ANYBODY ANSWERME!! WHERE IS THE RECORD VIDEO?

[bennymalone]

REM wrote the best middle eights ever, think Driver 8, Cuyahoga and this.

[StinkiwinkiPoo]

murmur automatic for  the peole and up are the best albums

[1856gazoo]

Sorry they broke up. ... 1980 til now. Truly a great band :)

[SirKendalMintcake]

REM...sad to hear you're calling it a day. You were wonderful. This is a top track. REM were masters at setting the mood!

[Ultimomonodelanasa]

What a great great great mistake don't choose Walk Unafraid like a single of Up...

[jackcooper94]

I don't have this version... weird. I mean, I downloaded the album Up (because, fuck, I can't find it anywhere) but the rhythm is not the same of this one.

[D8271]

i love love love this song-from my favourite rem album!

[Picnicl]

In a way, Suspicion seems like a link to Bill Berry's previous contributions with R.E.M. It bears some resemblance to Tongue from their Monster album in its dreamy , sexy way. Yet again it's a disappointment that it isn't more well known. I suppose that many people don't like to be slowly seduced- they probably find it insidious. This is still a fantastic track - a brilliant and lengthy tease with a magical pay off at the end of strings where a New Test Leper kind of instrumentation emerges.

[chambta]

I love REM. The first band I loved and though there've been others since none have come close.

[kimoxxx]

This is one of the sexiest songs ever.

[robpen954]

I have literally grown up listening to R.E.M. I was one of the people that ACTUALLY saw them on Late Night in 83'. My brother and I use to stay up late to watch Letterman because we thought he was funny. And then R.E.M. played So. Central Rain. I was 16 years old. MURMUR was the first CD I ever bought and still have that copy. They (and The Replacements) are the bands that I consider "mine" because I have been with them every step of the way,including march 8th when Collapse will be released.

[recycledcitizen]

@robpen954 right there with ya. funny, r.e.m. and the mats were my top 2 growing up too. we used to have a saying. PWIG: paul westerberg is God. Buck on Let It Be and a tour together. I would have loved to seen THAT!

[Digidanny]

"I need nothing too deep..."

This song is deep..!

[chchchamon]

completely underrated. i could listen over and over. it would have been huge but they don't really care about gettin on Mtv. if ya could call it that. sixteenandpregnantt.v.. saptv

[Galfaro]

My fav band of all time!! This one is in top10 REM songs

[redpaul79]

this is even better than the album version (especially the vocal performance)

[scootre22]

Live version blows the over produced album version away, first time I've seen this video. thanks for posting. 

[juanpolar]

"up" in the top 5

[reduct101]

One of R.E.M.'s best middle 8's

[Terpguy00]

Wow I'm a huge REM fan and I haven't heard this song before. I'm shocked it's not popular as I think it's a great song.

[Shanfroman]

I love it! I had never even heard of this video before tonight. One of my favorite R.E.M. songs. Thank you.

[zmariaanna]

I love Up!!!

[brendanseanbarry]

I can't wait until 2020 when Up and Reveal are recognised as 2 of the greatest albums of all time.

[SlickerVideo]

@brendanseanbarry

here here...too true

[nickknox75]

My favorite song from this cd.

[herlockkk]

"Up" is their best album!

[vmmayo]

Genial.

[foxkieran]

It's Ken Stringfellow in the background, but he looks like Pete Holsapple in this vid.

Almost like having the old REM back. XD

[Komicklepto]

Shame this song never charted. Definitely one of my favourite tracks-that-never-got-the-reco­gnition-it-deserved.

[wyattment1989]

yes, this song is quite the... "unsung hero" (and yes, I apologize for the terrible pun :P )

[crashedcan]

hoh hoh hoh, good one, but what about ive been high? the lifting? she just wants to be? lotus? ( i could go on for some time:P)

[allisonweldonland]

"At My most Beautiful," to me, was more a lover's song...not a consideration for a sixth grader.

[mntlPurple]

"Up" is such an awesome record! so many good songs!

and "At My Most Beautiful" is probably the best love song R.E.M. have ever written!

[MikeStanley4]

I think "At My Most Beautiful" is a little bit obvious and shallow. Something that a 6th grader would write - but maybe that's part of its charm.

I always liked "UP" and kind of compared it to U2's "Zooropa". It sucks that REM doesn't seem proud of this album - it's a fine album. Suspicioun is my favorite song off the album but this version isn't as pretty as the album cut.

[YouDntScarEmeUcrow]

yeah i agree!! Suspicions my favourite to!!

[areuwired]

I wouldn't have made the connection, but I think there's definitely some similarity:) I love both songs very much!

[stipem81]

Yes I agree

[daysleeper1112]

why is this song not in the top 10 of REM???? Its slow, but comes from my favorite REM album and is a classic. I wish they would play it in the shows and it deserves more recognition. UP is severly underrated and they should be proud of it, its better than the patchy OUT OF TIME and is the essence of what they are all about

[simmy403]

I think Up is R.E.M.'s most underrated and best album. I wish Michael would sing in falsetto more. On the album version, when he sings "You're so naked baby" in falsetto it sounds great.

[chchchamon]

@simmy403 up is so wonderful.listen on the beach somewhere.i had to respond cause "you're so naked baby" might be the one best lyrics they have ever done for some reason

[jenniferrodriguezv]

..let the music carry away.. amazing song

[daysleeper1112]

A fantastic song that really sums up this album for me. Paranoid and opressive. Great stuff.

[6HNS9]

Wow ! I didn't know this video !

Up is the best album of all time, so beautiful, so strange, i love it ! (and i love R.E.M.)

[murmurrer]

@6HNS9 Yeah, it is my fav R.E.M. album as well. It is haunting, mysterious, beautiful, strange, dark, spiritual. All emotions in one. I get shivers, I laugh and cry.

[murmurrer]

@6HNS9 Yes strangely beautiful, haunting, psychedelic. It's my fav album.

[gwuerritto68]

UP rules, actually. And this video is F'ing PERFECT!

I agree it'd be BORING IF there weren't legendary swinging dik rok starz here.

But they ARE?

TY for posting this?

[Alwaystuned]

I too think 'UP' rules. A very underrated album. Beautiful.

[Issicra]

UP is such an odd little nugget. The culmination of reeling in horror from the departure of Bill Berry... and then trying to make a new record with a "Pet Sounds" kind of feel.

Suspicion is a fantastic song.. One of my favorites of the Warner Bros. Years.

[gwuerritto68]

nice post!

[stormcrow7878]

UP is without doubt the unrecognized masterpiece of the REM catalog. A brave record to make, and it is BRILLIANT!!!

[andreas85dk]

I'm sorry to say that this song isn't anywhere near their best... also boring quite regular video, atleast put a little effort into it...

I love the drummachine intro, but after 17 seconds it suddenly disappears... Hope this mistake isn't on the record.

It sounds like a Korg MiniPops drummachine... can anybody confirm this?

[sanyguerrero]

It a beautiful Album, I love them ,, And I died listen At my most beautiful , come on , people don´t have ears some time.. every album of rem is great , you just to listen to them in the right moment and you´ll be bewitched for ever .. :)

[KerreyTheBitterSugar]

it's such a sweet song

[nolegal]

Up wasn't their finest effort, but it was a solid album, and I absolutely adore this song.

[leon234234]

Wonderful song!!!!

[mjbarajasm]

marvelous¡

[funkydafunker]

Ace song from the last great album they did.Best live.Walk Unafraid and Hope are classics as well as this.Thanks..UP is great

[TheGargantuanSock]

Their last great album? Have you heard Accelerate yet? It's a lot better than Up.

[truefaith00]

Well, his comment was posted back in March. But I absolutely agree.

[StonefieldJim4]

So glad you posted this - I've been on a mission for years to solve the bizarre mystery of 'the people who didn't like 'Up''. Brilliant album.

[iamtallerthanher]

great video! fantastic performance from stipe

[iamtallerthanher]

great video! fantastic performance from stipe

[PeopleOnTV]

A brilliantly understated song from the best album they've ever made. Very well shot and extremely well mixed for TV. A gem!

[thehibtones]

There are a few great, beautiful moments on that album, but it's hardly their best...

[smashingmind]

Great smooth relaxing song

[littlevolcano]

Wow I can't believe I found this. My fave song off Up! I didn't even know it had a video!!!

[littlevolcano]

Also, Stipe is one of the most attractive men on earth. He is too much in this, really.

[offon85]

questa canzone è per annalisa!!!!!!

[TheInformation]

Oh, how I love this song. Great performance too. What show is this from?
