R.E.M. - We All Go Back To Where We Belong (John Version)

[cobaltjones]

This band was an atrocity and really typifies a civilization utterly lost to the intangible grasp of music. To me, I instantly know this is mediocre. It's like talking to colorblind people and trying to tell them a particular shirt and tie don't belong together. You can exhaust yourself and make no inroads. This is what happens in a mommy culture. We're all equal so we need a soundtrack that literally ANYONE could've written. Drop the bombs and let's start over.

[P3DEVIL]

The brighter side of his face represents his youth, his feeling of being still young inside, while his darker side represents his oldness, his whole life! this song make you love everything!!!

[kentour69]

Funny old guy don't ever get caught looking at a girl like that you might get slapped .....

[belro19]

saw john read in toronto couple of weeks ago. for a guy who was seventy he had amazing energy....would have taken a real effort fo him to stand this still, he did a performance piece there which was the most energetic fo the night. Contemporary of Andy Warhol and William Burroughs. google him. he is great.

[PierreLucasMr]

So sweet!

[petgabor]

So sad to hear this band go. Beautiful beautiful song, great humans beings. Never fade, R.E.M. 

[TheRarjr]

@petgabor They won't fade... R.E.M.'s music will continue to totally inspire, challenge people to think Outside the Box and Help Make the World Work - forever! Much <3 to R.E.M!

[dylz]

[Bak3dB3an]

@dylz

[PierreLucasMr]

So soft... Another success!

[espectroist]

[baustin301]

If you want to hear one of his great pieces (and you should) search YouTube for:

Just Say NO to Family Values

or

The Death of William Burroughs

[civilcinema01]

not all goodbyes are sad, tought some of them are pretty bittersweet... thanks!!

[civilcinema01]

no todas las despedidas van cargadas de tristeza, aunque casi todas sean agridulces... gracias!

[123must]

Beautiful !

Thanks

[Cerealgrl]

Michael did an amazing job on this Andy Warhol style film. I felt so many emotions.

[lovelaj0149]

[XXXcanal69XXX]

gracias por todos REM -_O

[upoflive77]

Look at me,look at me,look at me!!! Please...your are great...I love you R.E.M ,but this video is stupid.

[MarjoriePiersonYost]

omg... this is like watching benjamin button hiccup and pass baby gas and smile at weird moments. #ridiculousvideoREM

[MrMARIOTORO]

Io appartengo ad una di quelle generazioni che con le loro canzoni ci sono cresciute, un bello, bellissimo modo questo per salutarci.

[MegaPanzers1]

what a GREAT way to say goodbye to the past; REM broke up after 31 years of friendship, greatness and honourable musical career; of whose music has touched our hearts and stimulated our minds with the gift of wonder.

Thanks REM, for eveyrthing you did; your music changed my world, and made me think... all i can say is just truly thank you :)

[amer0o]

And sometimes he sighs..

[astronautsinmyhome]

no pestañea?

[astronautsinmyhome]

me encanta,desearía sacarle una foto a él.

[Norwegianvideos]

I wonder what's going through his mind when he smiles, some good memories must have been brought back when he hears the song. Thank you R.E.M.

[TheExileonmainstreet]

[ponnef]

that look in his eyes so sweet

[FranzFerdinandRooles]

aww, that was really, really adorable. i wish he was my grandpa!

[pachecooroni]

<3

[TheLordHodne]

I can't believe nobody has ever done this before.. Brilliant way to attach the listener, by making it simple and beautiful.

[Giradox]

I reckon' he's hot for an old man.

[maxwall7755]

@marcunha : If you could actually spell "Alanis Morissette" that would be a great help you dick. Besides which Alanis Morissette is shit you fucking retard.

[revistaDC]

Qué bella mirada la de este hombre, qué paz de espíritu. He looks like he has peace inside.

[aravonniv]

It's about time Grandpa Simpson got behind supporting REM

[marcunha]

When Allanis Morrisete did a video like this, everybody said it was garbage.

Now R.E.M. does exactly the same thing and everybody sucks their balls.

R.E.M is no more! Thank god!

[bennybenbenben]

he starts to look like yoda if you stare at it long enough

[avnisan]

His face is the perfect representation of the sentiment of the song. Cover the right half of his face and you'll se him astonished or even shocked sometimes. Cover the left half and he's subdued in an accepting the inevitable kind of way. He's human.

[souma1476]

lol...he doesn't move!!! his expression is funny anyway...Love John Giorno!!!both version are great

[thebosakkk]

2:32  :*

[orekart]

Tatiana, para mí no hay nada que entender, es pura poesía. Y por supuesto, yo firmo por tener esa serenidad y esa paz de espíritu dentro de 20 años.

[tatiana190909]

no entiendo porque la imagen del anciano

[RicSoin]

this is what he said at the end: "lelp. idoo. eyoo. AHHH."

[Beachka88]

lovely ending smile :).

[ATrackCalled]

When i see and hear something like this, I miss them even more. Utter perfection.

[tomaurora1]

ESCLAMO:  MITICI !!!!

[ddanrr]

Sometimes he smiles...

[platypusrex256]

@junan0acoustic figured as much. this video reminded me of andy warhol.

[Dalmaik]

@junan0acoustic Thank you for the information...gives so much more meaning to the video when you know who the person and what they stand for. :)
