[sirgeggs]

[MIZZboom1]

[Supersweetguy]

R.E.M decided to call it quits after 31 years of music on Sept 21, 2011. Thank you for the 31 years of awesome music!!!

[MrMangofresco]

what's the meaning of this song? is it about forgeting someone? or is about using someone as a prop?

[ochy1]

Can anyone tell me which movie this song is out of? The frighteners? Great song!

[wandersonjc1988]

THE BEST OF SONG!!!! R.E.M.(LEGAL ESSA MÚSICA)!!!

[DrPaddoX]

When I die, play this song please, going out to the one's I leave behind !

[melchalo]

so glad i was born in the 80's got to grow up with such great music

[codern]

@melchalo you and me both

[hartmalcolm]

@melchalo i was born in 95 :( awesome music tho :)

[sirgeggs]

one of the best by far

[earhs76]

song reminds me of how my dad left my mother for another woman!

to me & my interpration of the lyrics its he lost his love/relationship because he fooled around & lost his love, hence the fire & another prop has occupied my time reference......maybe i'm wrong

[leonardotube]

Porra, tirado do Much Music, eu gravei esse clipe desse canal em 1999, que lembranças, velho.

[narischahund]

33 loves nothing

[MrBJJvB]

@narischahund : They love Justin B perhaps...

[amarodolceGR]

I like this song a lot!

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but I would like to think of it as a love song, because then i can send it to the "One I Love" whom i "left behind", 11K km away, and miss terribly :(:(

[MegaNasson]

gosto muito dessa musica me lembre minha adolecesia

[rolost]

Can you ever get bored of this song?

[hansvandenburg]

Classic rocksong of one of the best rockbands in the wold.

[carwashcunt]

this is my fave R.E.M song.

[JohnMearsheimer]

Great driving song.

[1strwbryblondnc]

Even Stipe said he considered this "a mean song".  Fire!!+

[Supersweetguy]

@1strwbryblondnc why did you think he said this was a mean song?

[cGirox99]

FIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!­

I love this song, it's timeless

[dex1lsp]

I just found out the director of photography of this video is Alton Brown. Hella random.

[dino88cro]

@dex1lsp You'r hella cool!

[dex1lsp]

@dino88cro Thank you! Why do you say that? You don't even know me man!

[dino88cro]

@dex1lsp I know from your comment that you are hella awesome, and thats all I need to know

[dex1lsp]

@dino88cro Wow, that's very nice of you. :-) It seems like you're hella awesome too! Are you also from the Bay? Very few people who aren't from here normally use the word "hella" or even know how to properly use it.

[AlexxandarJ]

@dex1lsp Hella isn't cool to say Cartman!

[dex1lsp]

@AlexxandarJ Alright man, you are OBVIOUSLY not from the Bay Area. It's totally normal here in the local dialect. Nobody laughs at anyone for saying it here. It's just part of everyday speech.

[AlexxandarJ]

@dex1lsp Ok didn't know that... thanks for clarifying instead of becoming asshole like many people on youtube.

[dex1lsp]

@AlexxandarJ Sorry dude, I did feel like I came off as a bit rude with the tone of my comment. I guess that's just because I'm totally not used to people being surprised when I say "hella" because like I said, it's simply a normal part of everyday speech where I'm from. Nobody thinks twice about it here. It's kinda like "wicked" in New England or "mad" in NY.

[magilojoh]

Este é um vídeo maravilhoso! obrigado por postar isso

[xSHICKINAMASx]

Romántico y Rockero... excelente combinación...ochenterossssss

[xSHICKINAMASx]

Romántico y Roquero...excelente combinación...

[Pimpf8]

one love - for it

[apocalyptik4ever]

R.E.M one of the best bands ever!!

[Ensomniak86]

Jeez, 87!?!? Am I the only one to think this sounds ahead of its time? I was guessing 93 at the latest...

[c64c64c64]

fuck u 32

[curbsideprophetlz]

32 people have never loved.

[thatsomefunnyshit]

hey ho

my ultimute great band that i love.

Mikey Stipe....kisses my darling....

[puppetshowjustice]

a simple prop to occupy my time, not a love song folks

[violante999]

@puppetshowjustice It's nice to see that somebody knows the real meaning of the song :)

[xr3volv3r]

@puppetshowjustice this is love song, think of it as Shakespear writing a love story in Romea and Juliet. This is a song about love lost.

[helpstreettrussed11]

@puppetshowjustice : so u think u would have done better?

[InBloodChains]

@puppetshowjustice there's the prop and there is the one he loves. it is a love song.

[2009DIECAST]

AWESOME!!

[theraviolicat]

Michael Stipe has a beautiful soul as well as singing voice. One must be able to feel things deeply in order to write such music.

[0136ron]

歌詞の意味は解らんけど非常に心に響く印象的な曲だね

ビデオの内容も詩的な雰囲気で美しい

[greyBigBen]

haha.. 32 tasteless ppl... anyway!

[jillyhawk]

nice one buck, along with the other 6, mo brea, you do be a wonder, BANG! xo tbc..;)

[brylidan]

great song XD

[GGGritzer]

Another perfect tune from a band I consider to be amongst the greateast ever. These, Queen and AC/DC are probably my favourite

[tyme4mike]

If you're reading this T.W., then you know there's nothing else that needs to be said.

[ELUANDE09]

A MELHOR MUSICA DO R.E.M. - INESQUECIVEL MARCOU UMA GERAÇÃO

[angrami]

Fireeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! R.E.M, made me pick up a guitar and star singing and playing their songs..

[SkaanneR]

great soon

[RonaldoR9full]

Great music. GREAT 80's.

[GGGritzer]

The correct grammer is 80s

[RonaldoR9full]

@GGGritzer Yeah okey. :) My bad

[Nissanjt]

So many people think this is a love song WRONG its a burn song, awsome one at that

[BlainePistolle]

weve all been there..

[jdmifsud14]

@BlainePistolle indeed my friend....

[uclrichard]

the video is horrible, dated and crap....but the song is superb and so are all their albums up to 'green' and including 'new adventures'...i don't like their famous stuff much, but i saw them play in england in 87 and 95 are they are awesome live...stipe is one of rock's greatest lyricists and performers. they are, in short, the best american rock acts of all time (apart from the velvets, beach boys and dylan)

[GreatSongsAutoTuned]

Click on my username to hear this song ruined by AUTOTUNE!!!

[radar7575]

Directed by creator of Good Eats, Alton Brown...

[yokab]

Awesome song about a sad and dark issue

[llkk750]

College and Alternative Radio stations were so big back then....got to hear a lot a great bands.

[stephos21]

this song is from the year i was born...

[jesuscmsj]

Hola zuni, encantado de escuchar la cancion....gracias por compartir ciertos momentos, eres una gran amiga...no cambies. Jesus

[zastonecesda]

Why are the ratings disabled?

[miles305678]

Second only to losing my religion :O oh so epic

[JiS01]

One of the best love songs EVER

[DanielJoseDiego]

Bad Ass Song in every way.

[DanielJoseDiego]

and NO people, this isn't a love song, He's talking about wishing an ex-lover of his (male in his case) was at the receiving end in a line of fire.

[mewisemajic]

Another theme in the song is how love isn't love. "A simple prop... to occupy my time". The "one I love" is simply there for amusement, not love.

[Eskara0]

@mewisemajic

I'm glad someone here actually is smart enough to know the true meaning besides me to this song. And also to others out here this is NOT a love song for the record! Its actually the exact opposite.. thanks for the upload 1972r=)

[1strwbryblondnc]

@Eskara0 and anyone who's read anything about REM or seen any music program with REM knows that. One of Stipe's most quoted, "I thought it was a really mean song."

[Eskara0]

@1strwbryblondnc

Yeah I hear you I am talking to the random people who don't know the true meaning. My comment was not aimed at REM fans... OBVIOUSLY! You should know that! So chill out and realize it was aimed at people who assume this to be a love song. Meaning random people who know nothing about REM.

[1strwbryblondnc]

@Eskara0 you're the random leader...

[Eskara0]

@1strwbryblondnc

maybe i am..... but why are you getting wierded out over a silly topic?

[73solestrella]

muy buen temaa

[73solestrella]

muy buenoooooooo...............

[cofpaddy]

Fiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrre!

[bwd81977]

They say Kurt Cobain listened to Beatles for Sale all day before he wrote About A Girl, but I think he listened to this...

[CruorSonitus]

Everyone knows that this isn't a love song, right?

[bayyagg]

hahahaha!

So many GiRLS to spread yer damn DNA!

[robocopnfs]

dit is een great song

[RunnerOnIce1125]

I feel like a douche now...I thought for sure this one was a Sufjan Stevens song. I had no idea he was just covering it. Sorry, REM!

[sonikku1011]

Shit I'm marrying the first girl I fell in love with. But yeah, this is not a love song. Still, it's my second favorite from the band, my first being Losing my Religion.

[kgmsonmex07]

dejo lo que este haciendo, en donde este y me pongo a bailar esta rola

[portero1204]

@kgmsonmex07 haha si esta buena r.e.m aun rifa

[carpediemben]

awesome!

[levon392]

whose the girl in this video who is sitting in that chair?

[flyforfun12]

the only good song they have

[claud0697]

this is what you really call great music!!! love it thanks rem

[pbrlimit]

Listen carefully, brother and sisters. For in songs like "The One I Love" you will find the best of music from a time when America valued quality over quantity and image.

It's sad, but true. The days of raw, honest, music the likes of REM, Soundgarden, Oasis, Verve, and Alice n' Chains are long gone.

Left for the most part is the after taste.

[DelbyC]

agreed, but i wouldnt completeley dismiss all comtemporary artist there is still what you and i would consider "good" music out there, its just not in the limelight and unexposed, as it were, Music works in cycles and i believe that soon enough there will be a wave of amazing music that will hit the mainstream unexpectley, well atleast thats what i hope happends

[dliwrp]

@pbrlimit

So true. So very sadly true!

[LIVIKIA]

a simple prop- to ocupay my time

this is not a love song

this is vicious

love you Mikel stipe

a sheakspir of ambivalety

[RebelThoughts]

The vocals are some of the most powerful ever sung! He sings with amazing passion!

[Ruraljohn]

The only thing I disliked about Mike was when he commented that The Beatles were not good. He was totally out of line and kind of stupid to make statement like that in my opinion.

[fierymrjingles]

every1 has an opinion , okay he may be outnumbered , but hey we cant all be perfect lol

[taiou20]

@Ruraljohn i think his right when people think tht beatles are much better thn any rock band ,including the mervel pink floyd

[MrJoueps]

just Amazing.

[MrJoueps]

just amazing!!!

[ThePbjloaf]

Not the best REM song, but great guitar riff, and not a bad video, either.

[khasperg]

Does anyone know who directed or produced this video? It is a work of art.

[RivieraKid34]

You may be a troll. If not, the Director of this video was Alton Brown of Food Network fame.

[khasperg]

I appreciate your magnanimity in stooping.

[RivieraKid34]

no problem

[ilias4791]

agaphmenw kommati!!

[nikosDivas]

terma ta gkazia me to amaksi!!!!

[harrysilia]

gamwto, tin agapw...

[antonios76]

...κομματαρα......

[myhat2u]

Hey AspieKid,

I suggest you forget her. She doesn't give a shit about you. I know, because I've been through it already.

Go ahead and believe in "True Love" while the bitch has four kids by another man. You deserve better than her.

From my point of view, she made a mistake. :)

[cavelatin]

@myhat2u Props for the positive message to the guy, but...my...just so cynical. You've been through a lot with love, I take it?

[myhat2u]

@cavelatin

It's not about me. It's just the way it is. The time is not now to be selfish, but to be truthful.

[cuam4o]

@myhat2u Or four kids from another 4 mans :)

[chumbscrubber42]

the 80s

[AspieKid]

"This one goes out to the one I love. This one goes out to the one I've left behind"

this is for you, my first love. i will never forget you :´-(

[catagon12345]

i dont mean to offend, but this song is anti-love song. "just a prop, to occupy my time"

[masterman3178]

@catagon12345 yea i and we know but its music which is art so its up to ones own interpritation but yes its is about that.

[Supersweetguy]

@catagon12345 I don't get it. Why would this be an anti-love song?

[catagon12345]

@Supersweetguy look at the lyrics, it should be self explanatory

[Supersweetguy]

@catagon12345 I understand what you are saying, but when I listen to a song like this, i don't take a listen at the lyrics.. The song will explain itself.

[masterman3178]

@AspieKid just do what i did when it happended to me get a drinking habit and become an asshole loner who would rather fritter his time away in a bar and lisen to sad depressing songs.

[omgsawyer]

this song reminds of my mother...she uesd to sing it to me when i was a child...amazing song...

[Santiago969]

Un grande R.E.M:!!!!! Lo mejor!!!

[newnewly]

I recall being w/ a friend in the foundry...whatever the bar was on foundry st...when this came out. we were playing pool. my friend, torrey, who's now dead, shook his head about midway thru this song...expressed something that said "this it fucking what it's all about...this rock and roll 'thing' we mould our lives around...even thou it's not our world...this is fuckin' good, ....great!"

[emilioguate]

great

[AradiaWitch]

This song also reminds me of my brother. It's so sad, how do you reply to this?

[thecrystalkid]

always been my fave rem trak :)...shame i can't post it on my fb page tho. nvr mind...

[clintxoxox]

This is a nice REM song.

[d0macamuzika]

such an amazing song... wow... :D

[mederes75]

the best song.thanks REM so very times. I LOVE YOU THE EIGHTEES.

[adrmaieski]

A melhor balada do grande R.E.M.

[chabela48]

hermosa cancion..que tiempos aquellos, esas si que eran letras de canciones!!!..Amo a Rem

[lobotresh]

Muito bom...........

[BuddhaBear62]

I honestly believe that REM has got to be one of the greatest American bands period. I saw them In Tallahassee in 89 and what a show! I still remember it well!

[mattguitartube]

@BuddhaBear62 I agree!!! I was only born in 88 and i still love them.

[lilpojer]

WOW!!what a great SONG!!!i wish i was still young listening to this song nowing what it means know!! i l o v e it!..O_o_O........

[NiagaraWarrior]

i love this song, its a classic tune that i get to hear almost every day at work (casino) .... come to think of it maybe the brainwashing repetitiveness is why i like it so much?

... nah just a awesome song.

[Ariamaki]

Not only a huge fan of the song (and one who actually interprets lyrics) but also a huge fan of Alton Brown, the man responsible in part for making this video, and now responsible for making one of the greatest things on this world.

[dallasjames67]

drugs people, an addiction. think about that .. fire shes comming down on her own now...

[bassplayer1617]

wow. oasis' morning glory is literally an almost exact ripoff of this amazing song. those pricks

[lolololo2121]

actually, it´s a really dark view to the meaning of love...

[jan279]

I like this song more than "Losing My Religion"...

[Yorgolicious]

This one goes out to the one I love

This one goes out to the one Ive left behind

A simple prop to occupy my time

This one goes out to the one I love

Fire (shes comin down on her own, now)

This one goes out to the one I love

This one goes out to the one Ive left behind

Another prop has occupied my time

This one goes out to the one I love

[Wolfrunner27]

hmm, all you people commenting on how beautiful this song is, makes me wonder if you know what it is about. hint: actually listen to the lyrics

[sara7cobain]

yes, R.E.M. said this is not a love song... I am starting to understand what is it about

[StaVroula141]

the song is very good!!

[1980sbrawl]

i heard this song playing at citywalk..

[blocker444]

omg! alton brown directed this! makes it even better than how awesome it is!

[oystercultviking]

agreed! XD

I love alton, and this video's awesome.

[ZRN959]

director of photography

[aliavza]

q buena generacion de los 80s

[benxahm]

simple yet beautiful!

[Rollingstonesgirl200]

-sob- amazingly beautiful song. always manages to bring me to tears.

[thefiregazers]

REM made some of the most beautiful songs in rock history, and their videos are very avant-garde.

Cheers from London,

The Firegazers

[Sabry816]

[SusieOfNight]

Rem it´s the one i love

[Auron16]

legendary

[jangofett1599]

i love REM, this songs always reminds me of Nirvana's Heart Shaped Box, a thinly vailed love song about hate and betrayal
