[dfrisken1]

My 9/11 song. Couldn't listen to this for so long aft.

[tommyboy87100]

awesome x 10

[tommyboy87100]

A soft and relaxed masterpiece

[93KHJBOSSRADIO]

BEAUTIFUL MOOD MUSIC

[millvalleyrn]

my brain candy.. gorgeous. stipe gives everything.

[trevors24]

5 people think the sky is going to fall on them.

[nashnwo1234]

@trevors24 really? just to make another lame dislike-related joke? god fuckin damn it...

[trevors24]

@nashnwo1234 Wah, wah, wah! Don't like it? Too bad.

[nashnwo1234]

@trevors24 i dont like it, millions of people dont like it. and its going to be too bad for you when the joke becomes so dead that people who ever jumped on that trend will be ashamed they ever wrote it. you can laugh now while it lasts, thats fine, cause i know we're all gonna laugh at you later and you'll awkwardly laugh along with it and pretend you werent one of the idiots that joined in and couldnt see a dead joke from a mile away. lol

[nashnwo1234]

@tommyboy87100 im glad you realized i was talking about the dislike joke and not the meaning of the song (i love this song), and removed your comment. but not before it ended up in my inbox so i could read what you actually wrote: tommyboy87100 "@nashnwo1234 your missing the point, stupid and forever, are the public, life begins after the first time you flex your soul"

thats irony at its finest right there. dont be ashamed of yourself and delete your comments, just own up to your mistake.

[tommyboy87100]

@nashnwo1234 a smile from within my soul

[12inchvertical]

the american smiths in some ways, or vice versa

[TheRich7000]

@12inchvertical - but can't quite imagine Morrissey doing shiny happy people! lol

[malagatreez]

I will never ever ever tire of this song. And this clip in particular. Ever. Sublime, sublime, sublime.

[whpriol1]

Their most underrated song.

[racerx143]

Just glad I got to grow up listening to this rather then the uninspired crap the kids have to listen to these days.

[yellow6100]

probably best song of all time by certain standards.

[RadioFreeSoDo]

Funny, I love this song and I've listened to it a million times but I'd never realized how little of the spotlight Mills was getting (even when his role was SO integral). Was Stipe just so much of an icon at this time that the rest of the band just opted for the shadows? Compare this to the '83 footage from the Letterman show where Stipe can't speak on camera and Pete Buck and Mills carry the interview. Interesting.

[greenjello74]

I always loved Mike Mills back up vocals on this song. They really give it depth.

[ricflairfan5]

where is mike mills in the video

[ricflairfan5]

the most important and emotional part is the backing by mike at the dont fall on me.

[tmason1987]

Greater than the sum of the parts. Which is what makes this such a special song - the guitar, bass, vocal, backing, organ are brilliant in isolation and combine to create a song that may summarize (if possible) the prodigious talent of the collective in REM

[Orkomagic]

I never tire of listening to this again and again. Absolutely iconic and invigorating.

[tristezatrece]

Cualquier canción de Rem es magnífica y esta es la mejor de Rem, así que pensad que cosa tan grande.

[jorgpabl31]

@tristezatrece Hola, te respondo en Castellano, una de las mejores canciones de los 80, que armonias, coros, estribillo. Para mí es imposible elegir entre ésta, losing my religion, find the river, perfect circle, the lifting, I believe, fails to climb, etc. Con REM me sucede igual que con Bowie, es decir, Stipe y Bowie son dos genios en todo el sentido de la palabra. A wonderful song with great lyrics too.

[rem2267]

Michael just exudes sex in this great video. I love the way he moves his body.  A big hit with 'the public' and Everyman, and for good reason - the song is beautiful in every way.

[nauset7]

awesome post. Yours, not mine. Live Stipe!

[SergiuGothic]

Michael Stipe, true genius

[Bizqit16]

When I hear this song I just want to cry. It's so beautiful.

[fairandpale]

What can you say? Nothing. They are just too good!

[billsurf101]

Try finding someone on Disney channel with this much talent. I don't care how many cd's Jonas Brothers or Miley Cyrus sell, they will never, ever, ever, be in the same class as REM.

[river5300]

@billsurf101

all those fake popstars.....they need to just sit and listen to this music and play what is real inside them...instead of what sells records....it is not sincere, and people who like real music know it. Kids of today are being beaten over the head with it. Its all a sham.

[magroves]

I can't help but think with the oil spill in the Gulf this song is appropriate.

[19radburn]

Great music!

[leftyjcw]

Fantastic melody to the chord changes. Background vocals equally great.

[catstarman1]

It's Mike Mills that makes such beautiful backup to Stipe, but doesn't get all the glory!

[maggierika]

cette chanson est toujours si sexy!!!!!!

[santiago2u]

I had this in VHS, the sleeve was a picture taken from this song at 0:30 Former girlfriend kept for her my entire R.E.M. cd-VHS collection

[maggiebridget09]

Absolutely love this song!!!!

[punschpralinen]

This is such a sad and hopeful song, makes me wanna cry and dance at the same time. =') It might be R.E.M.s best song, along with Driver 8...

[Jukeboxguy00]

My all time REM song

[TheOmarocker]

uffffffffffff!!!!!!!! this song,a perfect piece of art,BUY THE SKY,SELL THE SKY AND TELL THE SKY DONT` FALL ON ME............amazing.

[audunnorway]

who is the drummer here and where is he now?

[adamcdaniels]

Bill Berry was the original drummer, He nearly died in the mid-nineties (brain blood clot I think) and left despite recovering. They have never been the same since. Berry wrote REMs most beautiful song, Perfect Circle (on Murmur)

[NicktheBarber31]

damn right he did!

[A18xOnDaTube]

Bill Berry, now he is a farmer I think. He did play with R.E.M for one last time for their rock and roll hall of fame induction.

[Rammstein13579]

Mills is one of the most quentissential back up singers in rock history

[PeacefulChetah]

Thanks, Libra for sky song

[pacman5698]

most charismatic and mysterious front man ever

[shillihp]

REM - fall on me en español en mi canal

[azsdgnsfogn]

heavily underrated

this song is pure magic!! just cant stop singing

mike mills + micheal stipe = too good to handle

[gnarlywv]

Be like Mike!

[marktillinghast]

Standing on the shoulders of giants... A mean idea to call my own....

[TheBadgerslayer]

Thats from king of birds..

[marktillinghast]

yeah I already knew that.

[19979900]

The best REM song of all time

[theshakedownstreet]

R.E.M. and Radiohead 2 greatest bands ever, and Michael Stipe and Thom Yorke (of Radiohead) are very close friends!

[OttoGierke]

Great!

[OttoGierke]

I relly don't know...

[DrugProwlingWolf]

It doesn't get any better than that. Genius.

[michaelstipefan777]

can someone please explain the song's meaning

[lordtrax8]

The song is about acid rain, about men's abuse over the nature.

[lordtrax8]

I love this song...

[MagicHandz]

pure truth in every word...

[darkxhino]

R.E.M. ...~~~R~~u~~l~~e~~s~~~

[fidelstipe]

je kan rem goed of fout vinden maar dit is van een buitengewone klasse. thanks

[BuddyKatt]

da, vut du sez, y'all

[BuddyKatt]

tell the sky

[remhq2]

"There's the progress we have found

A way to talk around the problem"

[Issicra]

One of the greatest American rock songs of all time. Wait and see.

[lordtrax8]

No need to wait. I can use my brain 24/7. R.E.M. is the best band of all fucking time.

[syl2911via]

Wow, this goes so deep! I want my unborn baby to emerge in that song. Every phrase in the lyrics makes sense without knowing which one! And sexy Michael, yeah! This is pure art.

[pacman5698]

absolutely gorgeous ... thanks for posting this

[KnightRiderX32]

great sound and lyrics in this one

[TheCanadianTiger94]

This is such an awesome song! R.E.M. are the best musicians in North American history and can still put on one hell of a show

[gasaholic47]

I'm of the same generation as the band. I remember when they were THE college band back in the early 80's, when they came to my school in 1983, (SUNY Buffalo) when "Radio Free Europe" was all over the college radio station.

I have almost everything by them, and when "Accelerate" came out last year, all I could think was; "The boys are back!"

[StBunt]

Cool. Radio Free Europe was THE guitar song back then. The harmonies on this still make it my fave REM tune. Peace.

[jobimzin]

all-time best american rock band

[Anonymous1245]

REM sucks and everyone who likes them needs to be sterilized and used as slave labor.

[RadiantCowbells]

(To Clownx66) Welcome to the internet. You cannot police the internet. People can and do voice their opinions. If you don't want anyone to voice opinions contrary to your own, lock yourself in a closet and talk to yourself for a couple of years. That way, no one will disagree with you!

[KerreyTheBitterSugar]

ask the sky....

one of the most beautiful lyrics Michael ever came up with

[znatizeljac]

listen it .. goes good almoust always..

and he look cute with hair:)

[mfarriss]

One of my favorite REM songs... listening to it puts me in a good mood... yay!

[SarahJ125]

Cool song by a cool band

[RadiantCowbells]

Sick song. I hate people twho think that bands like "Soulja Boy" are good. This is good. That is not.

[Clownx66]

They hate you in the same way you like REM. Here's a tip...we live in a diverse world. That being said, open your fucken mind.

[SomeBlokeLol]

I believe it's spelt "Fucking" my good man. Please, if you're to speak MY COUNTRY'S LANGUAGE SPEAK IT RIGHT.

[Bluegirl4me]

One of my top 10 songs of all time....These dudes rock. This is what R&R is all about.

[sheluvsvideos]

i remember playing this song over and over and the cassette got stuck and eaten several times. gen x didn't had it easy compared to nowadays. long live old schoolers

[driver8train]

did the same thing....wore the cassette out..had to go buy another one! I dont think any r.e.m. album brings on the nostalgia than this one.

[s1i1c1]

majestuoso!!!!

[martinavelenik]

This is my favourite R.E.M. song. Just wonderful.

[cbcblades]

I'm only 29 but my 38 year old bro. had me into this shit when I was in like third grade. After years of being fed up with new music I'm back here and this stuff is so good. Most people my age have no clue about early R.E.M., sux for them.

[martinavelenik]

I love early R.E.M. I've heard this song on MTV unplugged once many many years ago, loved it immediately and was so happy to go to their concert a month ago and hear them perform it (they rarely do.) I had the feeling that nobody else sang and jumped up and down like a crazy ball! Just me! Few people know about it, and it is just perfect!

[Xermeolla]

I'm 16, and most people my age have never even heard of R.E.M.!

There's something wrong with my generation, perhaps.

[BeginXtheXBegin]

I know! I'm 15, and I know just two people outside my family who have heard of R.E.M. They're missing out on so much.

[NOSZLB]

yeah, i am the same age. you said it right - this generation sucks. most of teens do not care about such a music. sometimes i feel sorry for it, anyways theyr fault. r.e.m. still rock!

[Clownx66]

Funny though , there are plenty of teenagers who still like older generation music and are clowned by old men like you because they "weren't even born" yet. So honestly..why does it matter to you? You're gonna die soon anyway. Let new generation pass on.

[Herman1776]

im with you ;)

[liltortya]

Sounds just like me. I'm a year younger than you and my brother who's a lil older than me, grew up on a block where older kids would always show us what's up with music and movies and everything ... not to mention my parents so I was usually the black sheep in my classes (still am) of people who only have tunnel vision for whatever is "hot" and new at the moment. Same thing with foods and anything cultured and good.

[SventhHeaven]

You had a cool brother! :-) Did he listen to the early smiths and fine young cannibals?

[xXsWaNtOnBoMbXx784]

MY favorite song by REM is orange crush, this has a very good melodie, but orange crush has a melodie that suits my style a little bit more

[nunzioforpresident]

una delle più belle melodie mai create da un gruppo rock...e mike mills qui si supera.

[dmtdmt1969]

speak english!

[nunzioforpresident]

one of the best melody in rock music;and mills here is superb.

[elianasita]

difficile dire q

[deborama19]

a very good translation of your own post! you should just say "one of the best melodIES" in rock and it will be perfect English...I love reading all the Italian comments about REM, I think Italians relate well to REM because of the intense emotionality of their music.

[AldaREM]

I agree! And REM have always referred to Italian fans in a special way too!

[haynier]

dmtdm1969 Why??? if you want understaind every comments, you need study others languages!! Stupid!

[nutdzy]

murmur reckoning fables life's rich pageant-  i remember going to the record bar to buy these tapes

[KingCast65]

Murmur and Reckoning were the best, but then again I'm 42 so I might see things a bit differently :)

My roomie was a DJ at WVXU (Xavier) in 1985 and you just can't imagine what that was like when REM broke. Talking Heads, all of it. Remember it like it was yesterday.

[tizzer69]

It is track number 3 on their 4th album, Life's Rich Pageant from 1986. My favourite song by my favourite band. There is an unplugged version floating around (which is brilliant) but I haven't been able to find it in ages.

[GlennGould77]

I'm afraid it has been removed, I had it in my Favorite's Index, under the title: R.E.M. - accoustic, but it's gone.

[iamtallerthanher]

was this on any album?

[austinknowles]

me too

[nessie96]

My favorite REM song!!!

[malvadeza]

Stipe yey had hair. hahahaha

[volstar88]

yes, I did here Stipe say this "might be" the best REM song in their collection. It is surely my favorite and it came at a time before REM were megastars, and nobody had quite heard anything like their music. This song just blew everyone away with the backing vocals.

[Linedash]

this is my favourite song

[roxxma]

Wow. I had forgotten how much I love this song and how much I love Michael Stipe.

[BeginXtheXBegin]

That's exactly what I was going to say.

[camusfaerna]

Damn he`s so attractive!!!

[littlevolcano]

Agreed. He's really something. I recall seeing a countdown list of the 10 ugliest 'rock stars' and he was on that list. I was astounded. I'm glad someone else sees what I do!

[32countyirishman]

I read somewhere that Michael Stipe said that this was his favourite song. Its a great song but (and this is my opinion) its not their best song.

[ebyard]

Brilliant, moving, and it gives me the shivers every time I hear it. REM at their very best.

[xxhaley321xx]

this is like the best song ever....man i wish i was an 80's kid

[seangaucho123]

can anyone get the MTV Unplugged version ??

[audiotheaudio]

Wow, Michael can't hit those high notes anymore. This was, and always will be, my favorite REM song. The mystery and the majesty, they will be no other like these sons of Athens.

[jelly1967]

awesome , love the subs too.

[Bury72]

great song...old REM that's the way it is...:)

[logwind]

wonderful song

[spacebanjo]

Def my fav REM track

[BeginXtheXBegin]

I love this song, it's one of my all time favorites.

[kevsul47]

exceptional even by their standards

[THEBOYDONALD]

Such a pretty song.

[thebostonbruiners]

Their best song Id say

[Skycat2006]

;-)

[isterbandit]

I think this might be my favorite song

[mihohobaba]

I think this might be my favourite REM song.

[omahajim]

wow. that was neat. early stipe without the blue face paint is a treat. great live voice.
