  • R.E.M. please get back together for one WORLD tour so that I can see you live again!!

  • Their humming in this song always warms my heart! Sad that REM called it quits but happy they first got up and released this one, last great studio-album! My favorite band for always and forever :D

  • Thankyou R.E.M.....GUTTED is the main feeling I think, but heart felt thanks for bringing your music into our lives and being one of the GREATEST BANDS of all time.

  • Still don't understand why this doesn't have more views. I guess it's a great sign of where the new music fans are heading...

    Thanks for everything R.E.M.! you guys should get back together after you take a long vacation! We will all miss your music which definitely has influenced a lot of people!

  • This song is getting a ton of "favorite song" from Collapse into Now mentions over on murmurs.com for a favorite record and songs tribute. I love that. Great, great song.

  • We should burn roses in memory of R.E.M.

  • GREAT!! YOU'LL NEVER DIE!

  • GREAT! YOU'RE IN HISTORY

  • Fucking EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Thank you R.E.M. :')

  • LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!!!! So saddened by the decision to end after all these years, but, they have given us, so many emotions, and so much, its time to give something back. respect their decision and let them live on in our hearts & minds! to remember them! as THE GREATEST band of all time in my opinion, music, so touching, and changed so many peoples lives, including mine, made me realise, more than once, my life it worth living, ultimately, i owe my life to them, id not be here w/o them

  • thank you REM!! you are the onl band that has made me cry, not only with one song, with lots of your songs, love you guys whatever you do, be happy! from Barcelona.

  • Un descanso merecido, muchas gracias por lo compartido y dejo claro que son parte de mi historia.  Suerte

  • Thank you REM for the joy you've given me all these years!!!

  • This was the first thing I came to when I heard the news, overwhelming sadness but joy for the time they did it - and really done pretty much everything they could of.

    One of the best acts to have ever done it - FACT

  • 21st September 2011. This is it. For the band.....but not for the R.E.M in our hearts...

  • Comment removed

  • 21st Spetember 2011. It happened today.

  • R.E.M. thank you so much for all lovely musics. Your music will be always my days.

  • THANK YOU

    This is not an end.

    Your music will be always the soundtrack of my days

  • Gonna miss these guys, now theyre calling it quits. Thanks so much fellas for providing the soundtrack to my life since 1986!

  • an emotional song from the best....

    

  • I hated that commercial about the guy talking to his dog.

  • 4:16 best part!

  • "This is not a parable. This is a terrible." What a fantastic rhyme!

  • great video!

  • what a song, you clearly hear eddie vedder his influences in this song, When I didn't knew he was in this song one of the first thoughts I had were, damn this song is amazing, it reminds me of the into the wild soundtrack, after a little bit of research seems he really written this song along with them! This is a masterpiece written here, be grateful with it!

  • Me gusta mucho esta cancion deja entre ver una liberacion del chico a una desatencion familiar o algo asi me parece!, ademas la melodia entrelaza las voces de mike y eddie de tal manera que consiguen atraparte al final del tema.

  • @mdlyo82 ESTOY DEACUERDO CON TU COMENTARIO.

  • So, we have a disturbed kid. Out in the cold from morning until late at night. Doesn't get cold or hungry. Rummages in someone's garbage. Starts a fire WITHOUT a match or lighter. Sets a bale of hay on fire. This was most likely food for livestock. NO ONE WAS LOOKING FOR, OR WAS WORRIED ABOUT THIS KID! WTF?

    Oh well, when you have Eddie Vedder, Mike Mills and Michael Stipe harmonizing for about 3 min. Who gives a s__t! Awesome song!

  • @rchslion

    My brother has epillepsy, and this kid in the music video reminds me of my little brother. He is very imaginative and curious with the innocence foundation of a youth's mentality. Makes sense to me

  • @rchslion You are right. Why they not created video with good ideas? Maybe that was planed. Question is: For what?

  • My favorite video from Collapse Into Now. The song mix is stellar too - better than the album version!

  • OMG< my best GF joel is on this track, too!! he's NOT the out of tune one...

  • @YourWorstNightmareDK

    I don't understand it either...

  • it is so emotional I feel it!!

  • SHOW , MUITO STYLE !!!

  • 1:18 letters on fridge

  • is very fantastic

  • Love R.E.M.!

  • savage-song

  • the best band ever

    najlepszy zespół wszechczasów

  • I love the "The One I Love"-style ending to this song. 

  • What a fantastic middle part where the boy is in the tunnel. They mixed the song differently from the CIN version to match the film version. I love it.

  • Best REM album since the 1980's. I wish they would tour this year to support the album. I've listened to this album at least a dozen times since last week.

  • This band is still great!

  • Hey SpecktacleArts.

    Glad you like this, I do too. But did you think for a minute maybe the specific details should be kept to yourself?

    We're all glad you live near where a video was shot, but have some respect for the family and edit your comment. Appreciate it! - J

  • It's so wonderful to hear Eddie and Michael sing this song together!

  • amazin album, agree

    this is a great great band

  • This harks back to some of the early videos.... using black and white, strong imagery and youth.

    Think End of the World, Talk about the passion and the like...

  • @forrest7309 Orange Crush

  • I think he turns into the old man from 'Find the River'

  • Then... the black dog (temptation?) steers him off path. Tunnel is wandering into the unknown, experimenting.

    Finds things other people have discarded, and creates.. art - teenage/20's.. Hunter represents dangers along the way (he could have just as easily been shot). The fire is continued aging.. "do not go gently into this goodnight - rage against the dying of the light". Returns home, and everyone is old. Goes to sleep (dies), black and white, and naked. As he started this life.

  • Great song and video. I may be going too deep here, but hey. It's REM. Here's what I think this video is about: the journey of life.

    First part is youth...

    He wakes up, naked (born)... black and white. Sees a cold world outside his window (outside the womb) he sits as the world passes by in fast motion, & he doesn't understand, all he wants is milk (ie: Mother's breast milk).

    Colour- playing (youth), running with sheep (following the mases, peer pressure, teens).

  • Some of their best work ever...

  • Este niño es bien cute!! :3

  • <3 <3 R.E.M Always have

  • i prefer this version than the cd version

  • I can't even watch this anymore it upsets me so bad

  • why can't we have this version the cd?

  • REM. What to say. Best fuc*ing band ever for 30 years and forever!!

  • An amazing song, accompanied by a great video. Whilst the others seem to be trying too hard to be artsy, this one is simple - it tells a story that's sweet, meloncholy.

    Nice one, Tom Gilroy!

  • @CarrotCakeStudios sweet and melancholy?? Is that what you got from this song??

    whoever directed this song, sapped the lifeblood clean out of it.

  • love it love it love it, wonderful, mysterious, heartbreaking, R.E.M. <3

    I'm happy, I cry.

  • wonderful song, beautiful video, unlike some others (all of them)... amazing album...

  • everytime i hear this i think of my best friend who died on February 3rd in a fatal car accident which killed 2 other friends of mine. R.E.M was a band me and my best friend always listened too and i kno if he were here he would be loving this new album. RIP

  • so does the kid represent some deeper meaning or symbolise anything or is it just a really arty film.....?

  • Comment removed

  • Reminds me of my childhood. So very sad.

    Thank you Michael for your voice it gives me the strength to live.

  • i was so in to the song and didn`t noticed the sheeps . . .i think thay were dogs . . . lol

  • what a amazing song and video . . . i realy enjoy it . . .

  • I love the song and the video complements it so well. It's quite unusual and isn't what you expect which I think is part of what makes it so beautiful.

  • Although I simply loved Accelerate for its energy, Collapse into now is, in my opinion, their most significant and complete album since either Automatic for the People or Fables of the Reconstruction. Prior to Accelerate, I had started to lose faith in REM, but they have come back, and strong at that!!!! When the inevitable end does flow into currency, I believe that this album will not only justify itself, but once again show that REM is one of the most significant bands of the modern era!

  • The Orange Crush guy as a boy??

  • can you even tell eddie vedder contributed??

  • @stephenzevon Knowing that he contributed, I can tell. Even if I didn't know, I would have suspected. If you listen to Eddie's solo album for the movie "Into the Wild", you'll hear parts that echo the guitar arrangement in this R.E.M. song. Particularly in the first track called "Setting Forth". Also, Eddie lets out grunty noises around 3:25 , 3:50 and onward.

    I love hearing these guys together. MUSICGASM

  • @BananaHurricane yeah you can hear him faintly at the end...but i just wish he had a stronger presence.

    ah well, i hope he's happy with it.

    will check out his solo album, cheers.

  • REM featuring Eddie Vedder... what can I ask more? Happy spring to everybody!

  • EXCELENTE CANCION, EXCELENTE VIDEO, OJALA SALGAN DE GIRA, PARA QUE VUELVAN A ARGENTINA, COMO LO DIJERON EN EL 2008, ELLOS NO LA NECESITAN, LOS FANS NECESITAMOS VERLOS EN VIVO.

  • one word:  MAGICAL

  • great song  !

  • God this song makes me cry

  • Song is great. Video is pretty much a random distraction to the music.

  • fresh new album to enjoy to ;)) oou yea REM rules!

  • listen at the half of the song the great voice solo of MIKE MILLS!!!!!!And Eddie Vedder.......is perfect!!!!!

  • listen at the half of the song the great voice solo of MIKE MILLS!!!!!!

  • Can anyone explain this amazing video? I love it and don't know why! REM still has it.

  • UUUUFFFFF!!! :)

  • ri ri mitici

  • Vedder + Stipe= OMFG!!!!

  • I truly believe Collapse into Now was the huge comeback!!! This video reminds me of good old REM times!!! Well done to REM! Every song on this album gives me the goosebumps!!!

  • I love John MS!!

  • fantastic video. beautiful, beautiful. this song might be album's saving grace. especially the silence in the middle. most of what i've heard is just so much re-hash.

    as far as a tour, i'd hoped to skip it if there was one this time. R.E.M. is amazing live. even now. even still. but tickets were just getting way too expensive. i've been w/them since the clubs. (i still prefer bands in clubs.) i know they can command any size venue, but paying 100-ish bucks for a decent seat sucks.

  • woooooooooooooooooo amazing video i love R.E.M

  • Excellent song and video...the hogz love R.E.M.!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Thumbs up if you think REM should go on tour, they said they don't need to go on tour to help album sales, okay you don't go on tour for album sales?? I know you guys have been around for a long time and you dont need to tour to sell albums, but you go on tour for US the fans.

  • i like this video, its kinda climatic. but i think not official.

  • I totally love this song!!!!!

  • This video reminds me of the sad fact that in the USA, many parents teach their children that that the "natural outdoors" is a scary place, to be avoided. The end result is children who are completely disconnected from nature. In the video, this boy managed to play outdoors, unsupervised, without being hauled away by pedophiles. (grin)

  • Excellent Work!

    Very 'European' feel with heavy snow & the lovely sheep!

  • R.E.M. is back! Hooray!

  • So basically the kid's a pyro? haha I love the song but the video doesn't make a whole lot of sense (and it's too long and needs to stretch the song even more).

  • Comment removed

  • Ok, best video ever

    my favorite song also :)

    <3

  • amazing

  • genial

    impecable

    increible

  • the best band of all time

    la mejor banda de todos tiempos

    -_o

  • no sólo el mejor de todos los tiempos, todo lo mejor del mundo de la banda......

  • I love the new album, one of R.E.M.s best IMO. I can't say the same for these videos... i'm not at all impressed. They seem to be an afterthought out of necessity rather than a work of art derived from the song.

  • i love you guys<3R.E.M.

  • Why "Embedding disabled by request"?

    I can't put the video on my blog MusicsExclus =S

  • Interesting video... My son thought so too. He is about the age of the boy playing the part. He laughed when the boy was running with the sheep.

  • AWESOME VIDEO ! AWESOME SONG ! AWESOME GROUP ! AWEEEESOOOOME !

  • rem defies gravity. Everything that goes up must come down. How the hell can rem stay in the air for so long? Amazing that they can stay relevant for ONE MILLION YEARS. Well I am losing count anyway.

  • Nice. The album is superb, but I still fell like it's over too quickly - perhaps should have made a couple of the songs a bit longer.

  • Quite Into the wild-ish... And i love it! It would be fucken genious for PJ and REM to make a record together.

  • Rexpect from Albania

  • Collapse Into Now is an amazing album!!!

  • @bermurf44 It's up there with Green and New Adventures for me, and that's saying a ton because Green and New Adventures are my #1 and #2 for me. Accelerate is up there too for me.

  • great! i love this album already!

  • I love rem :D

  • cool
