At my most beautiful - R.E.M.

[effraja]

my favourite video... thanks, I cried!!!

I feel like being that girl

[Romantyk40]

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing it. *GREAT*

[poxarturo32]

preciosa esta cancion, me encanta REM

[Bialpoluoves]

Beuteful,this is not a love song,this is love,thanks!

[lordtrax8]

if you are a dreamer, if you care about lyrics in a song then REM is a perfect band for you, different then any other and in my opinion the best band ever...

[rhodesdarcy]

possibly REMs best song -definitely a masterpiece

[cabask]

I do think so !

[lordtrax8]

dude, you can say that for almost every song by rem.

[15minoflame]

i adore this song, i

[jont1407]

Love the music, love the lyrics, love the voice...the most moving love song ever.

[dust512]

I really love this song. :D

[intahtisle]

hi, I love this song so much it was actually our first dance song at our wedding nearly 7 years ago the bells at the beginning were just perfect! loads of love to everybody who loves it as much as me xxx

[bk5612]

Wow........definitely influenced by Brian Wilson

[stegladiatore]

It's not a song. It's a masterpiece

[jebanjepsa]

I agree :)

[dringa1969]

I would describe feelings with all that sweetness. . . and so sure that what is happening in the heart is clear to the tip of the pen! Beautiful song!

[martianshoes]

Is Rain the one married to Casey Affleck?

[hibernica007]

'I've found a way to make you smile.'

Great opening line for a love song.

[bradlittle2007]

love this tune

[parnissia]

it's my birthday today and apparently this year (32) i'm to feel 'my most beautiful'. i thought of this song immediately!

[absly5]

good on 'ya ..

[mdf19]

This might be the best REM song of the post-Bill Berry period.

[RONVK]

I think Up is the only GREAT CD post-Bill Berry.

[thatssophieschoice]

why is that someone wants to make money from everything?? i want back the official videos on youtube !!

[thatssophieschoice]

finally an official r.e.m. video! what a hell is WMG? where is lotus, leaving NY, losing my religion????

[i7q]

i dont know what WMG is either but its pissing me off too!

[luvmusic5366]

Warner Music Group =WMG...might as well get rid of youtube ..

[singidunum24]

That is Rain Phoenix, sister of dearly remembered River Phoenix. Michael Stipe was his close friend. Album Monster and few songs (E-bow the Letter, Strange Currencies, Let Me In...) are dedicated to River.

[loolynewbie]

cute

[cheddarbombnufc]

who is the lass in the vid

[StinkiwinkiPoo]

thats beautifuel poetry. well done REM

[foreveraien]

Michael Stipe,the only one....

[StinkiwinkiPoo]

Beautifuel  deep video+ sond . love it!!

[rominapat2806]

hermoso tema, tan sensible como todo lo que hace REM

[LDEA1012]

amo tanto este tema y en general la música de REM me llega al corazón.saludos amigos del mundo desde CHILE.

[stevenjsmith1903]

great band seen them last year at t in the park couldn't decide to watch either prodigy or rem

i chose to see rem and i made the right decision

[ChristianSticks]

Prodigy is still around?? Been a while since they put out an album no?

[stevenjsmith1903]

yeah they are mate they have a new album out soon i think

[dymond9999]

I have always been a fan of R E M since the early days.

My Wife however is not that big a music fan until I told her that she was born on the same day as Michael Stipe (Jan 4th 1960).

[AlecKronicle]

the backround of this sounds like a beach boys tune from pet sounds, can't think of which, maybe more than one

[3chocolatefudgecakes]

it always reminds me of god only knows

[AlecKronicle]

that's the one

[EmilyAnnGreen]

This song gives me shiver, love it.

[ElGuapodeGouda]

In an all dark room; "Up" on the player... bottle wine and nothing else. Enjoy!

[SweetRain009]

bottle of ron better, guapo.

[XDesiredEffectX]

Up was the first album i ever bought, listened to it a hundred times, till i "got it"

[emerald1938]

love it!!

[dedogizmo]

amazing

[SerZed]

You can´t say that , there´s not way to compare ´cause both are different style, and both bands are awesome! like this song and his nostalgic video.

[Hyardacil]

Whatya mean he CANT say that?

He's stating his own personal oppinion. lol.

[oldtestleper]

Indeed, we can all say what we like. But if I read "lol" at the end of something, I'm less likely to pay any attention to what's been written.

[panglimaerlangga]

i love OASIS, better than REM....

[TLKGuitarMan]

i love this song so much. reminds me of someones I loved

[ola071085]

i am crying

[becky28688]

rem = amazing!

[uliqed]

Sarra Pallin ?

[KerreyTheBitterSugar]

Rain Phoenix -.-

[jabondeloza]

uno de los temas que mas me gusta de rem. precioso.

[obamamaniac42]

I was typing a paper for school and then I realized I was typing the lyrics.........wow

[vincent0101]

lol that is weird stuff ey? I had that 2 few weeks ago

[Ragnorckgorgonash]

In  Another Time ...

[GlueyPorch]

Bruce Springsteen's song 'Your Own Worst Enemy' is a rip off of this song

[rafaelserial]

They made that music inspired on The Beach Boys (the great band of all time)... They are huge fans of Beach Boys...

[JohnK44]

Mike Mills is a Beach Boys fan. The others have different influences.

[RONVK]

Up is a great example of why REM is so good.They can put out anything they want(And they do)and still nail it right on the head.

[mrMickey1972]

True, Up is the seccond best REM album.

[tubeattacker125]

I count your eyelashes, secretly, with every one whisper i love you. Thats all i need to say :) xxx

[p2pjoe]

awesome.

[KerreyTheBitterSugar]

ain't that song sweet... :)

[pachu44]

This song is so romantic, the music and the lyric are so beautiful. Amazing.

[PssychoGirl]

amazing

i love R.E.M. <3

[matjohnroe]

Sublime. REM at their greatest.

[forest4lyf8]

=] i love this song, but my favourite is Everybody Hurts X

[noahkidega]

I think this is their best song! Dont care what anyone says! I love it!!!

[PesceA]

r.e.m. are huge fans of beachboys...

[kiwiwomble]

how the heck does this song sound Beachboys-esque..

[s1i1c1]

es una de las canciones mas bellas escritas, r.e.m es inigualable, la major banda.

[Tex240676]

Oh.....what a song.......amazin'......

[gombis666]

I think this was during REM's "rip-off the Flaming Lips" stage.

[bjlseko]

i will die listening this song.

[beano200821]

I absolutely love my girlfriend and she is the one, but i wish i had the talent to say it in a song like this. Beautiful.

[vaginyabelle]

this  is very 'beachboys'-esque.

[edobriensgrin]

i completely agree. Love the beach boys, love this too :-)

[u2ZOOTV2]

Very underrated song

[scherezadagirl]

Qué bella canción, te amo Michael =)

[psykhe17]

eché de menos esta canción y strange currencies en el concierto de lima...

aun así fue genial!

[witedog606]

what's that song called by R.E.M that says " and I find it kind of funny, i find it kind of sad"...."no expression, no expression." I DON"T KNOW

[benjii099]

Mad World - Gary Jules.. it's not R.E.M but sounds pretty much like it. ;D

[Historiologer]

Mad world is by Tears for Fears, Gary Jules covered the song.

[benjii099]

I know that.. but since he thought it was a R.E.M song, and Tears For Fears doesn't sound the same.. but Gary Jules' version sounds like it could be R.E.M performing it ;D

[coolidontcare2]

it is mad world. its soo good

[unchainedheart]

Tears for fears man.

[Stipe4ever]

I wonder was Michael with his current fella-he's with him since 98, singing about him in this vid-lucky guy!! He's so nice though(he's in Leaving New York vid)-I hope they have much happiness together-even though I am insanely jealous!! :)

[Stipe4ever]

Yes it is Rain-she's the image of Joaquin don't ye think?

[Merdenoms]

is that Joaquin and the late great river

phoenix's sister rain?

[passionateaboutmusic]

JesusGod! I feel like the woman in this vid sometimes...

[sistermadlyus]

just heard this on House the other day

[starsweet4]

it was on House? which episode?

[isisaavedra]

Stipe siempre dijo que odiaba las canciones de amor, porque son tan iguales y tan mal escritas... asi que con esta cancion demuestra que es posible escribir sobre el amor sin caer en cliches

[fdavilap]

gracias

[MikeMirarchi]

Awesome song! It's one of the few love songs in the REM catalog, and it's simply sublime. I'm a little disappointed with the video though -- for such a beautiful love song, I expected a video that had something to do with love. I can't see anything at all in the video related to love... :(

[TaelurJamez]

Yes i can see where your coming from but also the video is symbolizing the dark emptyness of him being alone in his house like that wanting things so much , and how the world is a cruel place with not nearly enough care and too much hate for its own good :/ ... good song tho :D

[danob86]

beautiful

[emmeffe01]

this is the most creepy and romantic song ever :D ahah at counting her eyelashes secretly.... *_*'

[tanyaj24]

God I love Mikes glasses <3

Great song

[sbarbonella]

At my most beautiful, I count your eye lashes secretly <3

[lollystealer]

With every one, whisper I love you

[sbarbonella]

This song melts me like butter :)

[codrxb]

there are tears in my eyes

every time i hear this

amazing song

[rampantandroid]

Amazing song, one of REM's best IMO. I like how this sounds like a Pet Sounds Beach Boys song. The aim of the song writer (Michael Stipe) was to write the most beautiful love song he had ever written...I think he succeeded.

[terminator1111111]

This song must be one of the most beautiful songs

[givingitashot1]

wish i could always feel how i do when i listen to rems classics, ah well, lifes shit!!!

[thejam216]

yeh the piano in it is soooo lovely

[benzuken]

one of the best love songs ever!

if anyone will upload a piano lesson i will be thankful...

[colmanaucoin]

I wonder if he was in love with River

[pachero4711]

it's not perfect; - but the singer is GREAT

''z - WHO THE FUCK - is my life

[johnlennon998]

it's perfect... although it's a tribute to Beach Boys...

the lyrics are perfect...

" count your eyelashes, secretly

With every one, whisper I love you..."

dedicated

[kamagong22]

the woman on the video really looks like sarah palin..

[eluvb]

that's what i thought the second i saw her.

[dizzylams]

That's Rain Phoenix guys. Sheez.

[eluvb]

umm i know it wasnt really her. i was just saying it looked like her. sheez.

[GeorgVanHalen]

It's beyond me why this wasn't a monster hit!

This is good stuff.

[Sonjay718]

I guess anyone with glasses automatically looks like Sarah Palin....

[calvinleeryan]

this is like my favorite r.e.m. song

it doesnt get any better than this

[Mugsycache14567]

Mine too. It's almost like, well, my favorite rem song too. Please keep smiling : )

[superspoof101]

dum dum dua ada da da da dum dum dum dum dumjd da dee doo jo

[dymond9999]

Music just does not get any better than this

absolutely wonderful.

[stipey2]

I used this song at my wedding for our first dance. Love it!

[RINI329]

That's so great! I wanted to use this for me and my fiance too, but he's not an REM fan like I am. This song is wonderful!

[EweNa024]

I love the melody and the lyrics of this song. The 'duh, duh, duh, duh' suits very well to it.

[kandinsky51]

My wonderful Matt sings this to me. It really does make me smile (:

[ConvalescentBliss]

anyone else think the girl looks scarily similar to sara palin? LOL but seriously this is one of my favorite songs

[RINI329]

That's Rain Phoenix...the sister of River and Joaquin Phoenix. Michael Stipe was very close to River and released some songs about him.(E-Bow the Letter)Rain's a beautiful girl!

[heartlessed]

la mejor letra que he visto desde hace mucho tiempo

[superspoof101]

good song

[albarada1]

mola

[IIdeadnightwarriorII]

i used to listen to rem a lot when i was a child...i listen to metal now,but i think i still love'em and the emotions they offer..thank u rem.

[NatashaPetrovna]

Long live the R.E.M. and Rain Phoenix!

[Trahildar]

I think this may have just become my favourite song...

[bigdan1782]

my fave song of all time,

[ODVassie]

An awesome song. Love the cello part at 3:02.

[rohiogerv22]

The piano... it sounds almost... prestigious(for lack of a better word)... and sad at the same time. It couldn't work for any other band, but REM did it perfectly.

[sultanmx]

que chin.. se llevó la chica

[stereid1984]

best band in the world by far

[luciakijne]

This song makes me silent, but certainly not uncomfortable. My boyfriend let me watch it some time ago.. I'm thinking about ordering their cd..

[dojerblu]

A tribute to Brian Wilson, and it's GREAT. They captured the "Pet Sounds" sound beautifully.

[mybadgtp]

I agree, awesome song!!!!!!!!!!!

[KiwiSentinel]

It is so Beach Boys and yes I love his song.

[javiero55]

NO, the best songs ever for piano

[Stipe4ever]

Apart from when they sang Night Swimming on Jools Holland, the piano on that was awesome-Michael was just staring at Mike with such admiration for him and his talent......

[REMK9]

one of the best songs ever for piano...

[TheCanadianTiger94]

Brilliant!

[angycosmos]

genial.esta de puta madre..!!!!

[rubzleandditchda]

Is there bassoon in this?

[lucinda2005]

beautiful. thank you

[pineapplezzandstuff]

haha

[bananendrama]

it's beautiful this song..

i've got no words for it!!

it's my heartsong :D

[BlackwoodDragon]

i cried all the way through

[Tojo9400]

Me too

[leniboda]

amazing

[assemblage23]

one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

[saltnpash]

i ruv it :)

[owendall]

simply fab

[Roxyy0007]

no words.. so good song!!

[karburoF16]

thanx REM!!

[Sandancer82]

Just been finished by my lass and this song reminds me of her.

[strabbs1]

birds with cellos, dead sexy

[holly628]

so beautiful...

[PowerThirteen]

It's more like "when I'm at my most beautiful" instead of "I'm at my most beautiful".

[BlameItOnThePenguin]

What do u mean?

[PowerThirteen]

Blameitonthepenguin - I was replying to kkl1975's post, for some reason replying to a youtube comment doesn't seem to put it under the original comment anymore. kkl1975's comment is just a page or two back, should be easy to find :)

[PowerThirteen]

Typical, it seems to work now. Anyway, the comment was: "For someone to say they are 'At My Most Beautiful' seems to imply they weren't and never will be as beautiful as they are now.

Or is that just me?". I was just saying it's more in the context of "when you're/I'm at your/my most beautiful", which makes sense listening to the lyrics.

Great song either way :)

[spukkia93]

che bella...

[ean381]

listen to this on the way home from work in the winter

[littlevolcano]

It is a perfect song for that!! So odd you said that too!

[bronske10]

This is one of the most moving songs of all time. If you listen closely, you will get a bit of the Beach Boys edge on it. Michael Stipe, wanted this, as a bit of a tribute to Brian Wilson, and the Beach Boys. Luv REM

[stipefan11]

I discovered this one only two days ago - and I like it very much!
