REM - Half A World Away + lyrics

[mipe1575]

HEard on Scrubs too s. 6 ep12 by the end...

Amazing!

[looder22]

Who gives a shit where people heard a song from first? You all agree that it's good, you tools!

[sheddiestarr]

Does this count? My father died in 1992 and once told, one of my older brothers played this album in his car on the way to the hospital (1st for me...bit into indy then). Was the first time for me and have had that emotional link to this album tune (out of time) ever since (loved it). So I assume 1992 was pre Scrubs?

[jungsbodyguard]

@sheddiestarr I don't think the top comment was intended as a challenge.

[peterbuckisgod]

Probably my most played R.E.M. song these days.. just perfection.

[mojav26]

Excellent song, liked it since it was released. My favorite on "Out of Time", which I took to mean "from out of time" :)

[LOfubislore]

damn. every time I listen to this song I forget how great the lyrics are

[elchupirichups]

damn how glad i am i looked through my old collection of CD's, this album is no less than golden

[StinkiwinkiPoo]

wooooow yust wooooow buteasy to play on guitar try it;-)

[ReturnOfGrossvesir]

English........wonderfull song !

German.......wunderbarer song !

Turkish........muhtesem bir sarki !

[sl1ghtlystoop1d]

@ReturnOfGrossvesir Italian........ meraviogliosa canzone 

[h879xx]

My hand is tired, my heart aches

[anonb8]

@h879xx lay off the porn my friend, lay off the porn.....

[h879xx]

@anonb8 Haha Busted...

[NordligSkjonnhet]

I have listened to this about 16 times in the past 2 days. Such a good song.

[UtwoOneMaster]

The oasis half the world is better I THINK

download anyway, love R.E.M

[shedendboy1]

@UtwoOneMaster,  Sorry pal, But Oasis don`t deserve to be in the same sentence as R.E.M.

[UtwoOneMaster]

@shedendboy1

hey, watch your mouth man. I only said MY OPINION. They are both great bands.

[wipers86]

@UtwoOneMaster I agree with you I love that song I first heard it probably like you watching the royal family but there different songs all together and R.E.M are a much better band just my opinion just like you might like Oasis more I think Liam is a complete dick he acts like he's the dogs bollocks but he just looks like a fool but still a good band

[UtwoOneMaster]

@wipers86

yes, I know the bad behavour of Oasis, but the music is the important thing. I don't listen to Guns n' Roses, for example, not because Axel is a sucker, just because I don't like it.

R.E.M is in my top five favourite bands as Oasis is the first.

[wipers86]

@UtwoOneMaster yeah music is most important did you hear about Axl paying tribute to Kurt Cobain this year by going onstage in a wheel chair like Kurt did at the reading festival I'd like to know what that was really about Axl was a dick to Kurt and threatened to beat him up for having a joke with him or for Courtney having a joke but I agree with you, like most people might hate the sex pistols for there behavior but that shouldn't stop them from liking the music it's silly to 

[vlasov18]

To go it alone

And hold it along

Haul it along

And hold it

To go it alone

Blackbirds, backwards, forwards and fall and hold, hold

[TheAzzaMeister]

I first heard this song...... blah blah blah, does anyone REALLY care if people heard it off scrubs or not ? at the end of the day everyone is still appreciating this great song

[Backcamenbert]

A F**kin' Yeah for Scrubs!

[MrMalte1993]

scrubs!

[TheAjt09]

I don't give a crap about Scrubs etc. This song is simply..........beautiful. End of.

[DeadlyAntenna]

I first heard this song when I was about 4, my parents were big R.E.M fans, and played it on cassette on car rides :')

[Aeregeth]

@DeadlyAntenna Hahahaha, those are fucking great memories. I remember listening to REM with my father too :D

[mukica94]

i believe that YT has made a mistake cuz this is 1080p not 240p ;)

[jamdrensefrenzy]

i don't go it alone, although you're half a world away... i feel like your in me... lou reed-dragon-bloodily-in me and more...

[Nixter1974007]

Never Mind fucking Scrubs or whatever.Hate folk that associate great bands/albums with crap TV. IT'S REM OK???????? END OF!!!!

[Linedash]

missing them already



[Nixter1974007]

@Linedash ditto..it's been barely a month and still can't accept that REM are no more...

[slyrold]

Now the adventure is really over , piece of me is missing...

[MrGrieves1000]

scurbs is an amazing show? wow i guess good taste in music and television arnt 2 things that are always synonamus.

[Countcrankula1]

R.E.M....always have songs to what I feel. You guys will be sadly missed.

[jingonyx]

@JayGOS117 Why can't you just be happy that an amazing show brought us to amazing music? It shouldn't matter how we got here and you should thank anything that brought us to the music. Also stop trying to be elitest, you tell us to stop watching so much TV its depersonalizing in a post online...

[Macsimus75]

Guys we're already waiting for the announcement of the reunion. Don't make us wait too long :)

[raspycellist]

I will miss them. Very much I will. And this is one of my all time favorites, I just put it on repeat for a long time.

[grelleezy]

my mom and I used to listen to this album all the time when I was growing up. still good.

[katerpowers]

yeah, but they split up after 31 awesome years and the STILL all like each other. so rare. i'd take 31 more years of them!

[robsl18]

They've split up :(

[Thehary87]

2 people don't like music

[TheMeleemonkey]

"the storm it came up strong, and shook the trees, and blew away our fear" those lyrics got a 17 year old me through a lot.

[PhoenixisaDeadScene]

@TheMeleemonkey my fav. lyrics in the REM catalog by far.

[TheMeleemonkey]

@PhoenixisaDeadScene the wind and rain blow quite a lot here in Scotland, a fair amount of fear could be swept away :)

[Fckschoen]

8===> ({})

[aleiss28]

always loved this since i was like 9 lol

[Paranormalaccnt9]

Michael Stipe is a poetic genius. awesome voice also. REM always a fave band of mine since a can remember way back

[TheEvilelvis89]

I loved this before Scrubs. Because that show sucks balls.

[Arjofski]

@TheEvilelvis89 wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong. Scrubs quote.

[TheEvilelvis89]

@Arjofski

It used to be good. But surely you can't like the new episodes. Unless you live that far in denial.

[Arjofski]

@TheEvilelvis89 There is a season after 8? Oh yeah maybe i heard that like Zack Braff wasn't in it, I don't even count that as Scrubs

[OneLaggyMotherfucker]

@Arjofski It wasn't that good. I think it was like some wierd paralel universe or some shit.

[ash3227]

who loved this song before scrubs?

[slyrold]

@ash3227 I did , since 1994 when i first heard this album.

[memphen]

@ash3227 since i was old enough to understand "music" my dad always played it in the car :)

[sebnemylm]

@ash3227 i did! i even still didnt watch that season of scrubs!!

[djotter1991]

@ash3227 do i count my friend on facebook posted the BBC live video on her facebook never heard the song before that :-|

[MPL029]

@ash3227 What is Scrubs?

[mathefreak1993]

@MPL029 one of the best series i've ever seen...^^

[Yldcatz]

liked t hem better when lyrics were incomprehensible (IRS) but this is their last best album

[stevepwood]

@Yldcatz I respectfully disagree - Automatic for the People had some of the best REM ever did...then it was all downhill!

[63sylvan]

Love the harpsichord and how it blends in with all the other instruments .... Out of Time, great record start to finish.

[givingitashot1]

@63sylvan One of the greatest albums ever, kinda made me who i am today:)

[TheAzawakh]

THANKS SCRUBS . Very beautiful song and lyrics

[LloydStretfordEnd]

You can bet your house that whenever a song has been on Scrubs, there will be comments about it on the Youtube video...

[soundwaves55555]

♥ my mind is racing...

[mmbmbmbmb]

SO SAD when it applies!

[mikeonabike1978]

scrubs? really? well, i guess if it brings you to new (to you) music, that's a good thing.

[meinebesten]

two people missed the "like" button by accident!

[themooddisorders]

REM was warming up for Automatic!

[bees1982]

I AM HALF A WORLD AWAY, JUST MOVED TO TAIWAN FROM ENGLAND, LOVE REM

[peterbuckisgod]

I found this song when i was 13, listening to my monthly, newly bought R.E.M. album through my walkman. It was magical

[JayGOS117]

I'm here coz i loved it since i got into REM.

I enjoyed Out of Time, then backtracked through their older stuff.

Really loved Automatic, tho.

Scrubs is an pretty cool show, but i didn't find this because of it.

Stop watching so much TV, guys.

It's depersonalising.

[Gemiex]

SCRUBS :D

Private Brian Dancer. Wonder if he commited suicide in the end? He never came back :(

[brightlights456X]

Here because I heard it on Scrubs. That show has shown me SO MANY good songs.

[codern]

this song is magic

[blinkyrem]

Listened to it 50 times. Amazing song.

Who disliked it? I'm suing them.

[Thalououou]

avsluta... :(

[steviemax147]

Every song is a classic on "Out of Time". The album just flows from start to finish and you can't beleive when it ends that you have listened to the whole album, your mind gets lost in the music!

[steviemax147]

Great track from one of the best Albums ever!

[JayGOS117]

Sweet upload...TA ;)

me luv REM :D

[matthewisstrange]

i love that episode on scrubs and this is a perfect soundtrack to the end of the episode plus i wish sarah chalke would kiss me like she did private dancer!! amazing!!!

[doug12341988]

just heard this on scrubs, havent heard this one before, but instantly knew it was R.E.M

[Seejay182]

@doug12341988 The EXACT reason I'm here, ha.

[doug12341988]

@Seejay182 E4?

[Seejay182]

@doug12341988 Too Right

[doug12341988]

@Seejay182 hahah awesome!

[prince420uk]

No band quite stirs the soul like R.E.M. absolutely stunning.

[WithTheFrag]

PRIVATE DANCER!!!!!!

[barthoss19]

this song is way too short... I can listen too it for a whole day

[truefaith00]

Wow...this song gives me goosebumps. Add to the fact that the sound quality is excellent and the clarity is amazing. This was recorded before all that Loudness Wars crap and it shows. Too bad Accelerate had good songs but was mixed/mastered like absolute shit.

[thatswhatsheread]

found it on scrubs. that show has the BEST songs.

[TheAjt09]

When it comes to beautiful songs, this and Find The River always springs to mind. Absolutely beautiful

[barson66]

anyone know the mandolin chords for this?

[narutosaenz]

@barson66 go to 911 tabs you will find it very fast

[G0odf3lla]

Love it !

[ash3227]

Thank-you so much for posting this song. This is my absolute favourite song of all time. It reminds me so much of my childhood.

[legham777]

@ash3227 Me to, it just instantly brought tears. I feel like such a bitch. haha

[DrufGeschisse]

god bless scrubs

[MrMoviemaster26]

Agh i didn't mean to 'dislike' i meant to click 'like' i am that 1 person who clicked DAMN

[pizzle267]

this is one the greatest bands ever

[edobriensgrin]

one of my favourite REM songs, along with Try not to Breathe (no decent upload of that on yourube unfortunately) Thanks for the upload

[youzombi]

@edobriensgrin It's true. I have this song in my videos list (try not to breathe).

[edobriensgrin]

@youzombi 'WMG have blocked this video on copyright grounds' :-( i used to have the album (Automatic for the People) but I lent it to my brother and never got it back.  Thanks for trying though.

[youzombi]

@edobriensgrin I'm sorry. Fuck WMG :P

[edobriensgrin]

@youzombi Hey, don't apologise :-) it's not your fault. Like I said, thanks for trying - i genuinely appreciate it.

[CelticLove1711]

I never tire of this song!

[Noeladishi]

Does it for me every time I listen to it!! So weird!!

[MONTYCLIFT64]

I am rediscovering REM.....brilliant stuff. But not quite the same band once Bill Berry left. He did write most of the great tracks from the early days.

[Noeladishi]

@MONTYCLIFT64 Bill Berry was the drummer in this album.

[stargazntreki]

I had this CD 20 years ago :)

[Fredbouchard01]

C'est ma chanson préféré dans l'album Out Of Time :) De toute façon moi j'aime toutes les chansons de REM. :)

[UnliklyProductions]

@Fredbouchard01 In translation i believe he said This is my favorite song on the Out Of Time Album :) Anyway I like all songs by REM. :)

[masenloquecido]

HERMOSOOOOOOOOO

[masenloquecido]

INCREIBLEEEEEEEEEE !!!!!!!!

[stubai27]

what a way to portrait in music the desperation of lonely times!

indeed, loneliness is a storm, but alas, always clear weather is ahead, just as the song says...keep on sailing...

[HoboInYouTrashCan]

SCRUBS!!



[StickManga]

@HoboInYouTrashCan thats where ive heard it!

[ufofreak1947]

@HoboInYouTrashCan Eat a dick

[crossroad17]

@HoboInYouTrashCan so it is!! ;)

[Onderonable]

Thank you so much! I'd been looking for a good quality version of the song.

[BlondeRocknRoll]

i love this song ... and the album still sounds so good ...

[c0c01]

Can't believe someone creates this beautiful song

[maronnamia100]

ma ditemi quantè bella questa canzone,

[CarlesX7]

Great tune.

[Noeladishi]

Sorry mate how did Warner not block you posting this song up?? This is my favourite REM song, ever!!

[ash3227]

@Noeladishi this is my favourite song (of anyone) ever! just love it.

[nadia77077]

So beautiful x

[ffmad13]

I love this song just for the melody and everything! love, love, love!

[PunksInVegas]

Love this song.

[BonesCharmedFan]

[crazymartianfighter]

@Bjobbie
