Why do you have to draw gay-bashing into a comment on a "great song?" Can't you just say that the song is good, and keep your opinions to yourself? People who really are fans of R.E.M. obviously don't care about the fact that Michael is bisexual, and we don't want to her your prejudiced views.
Rem is a good alternativ rock, they have the music into of their heart, I could lisen them everyday and I wouldn't to be borned I always enjoy lisening, In my opinion Rem is wonderful.....,
This song is so touching. I left my country, my family, my love behind, to try too succeed in a foreign country. Anyway, this song is just beautiful, and REM is one of the best bands ever. : )
Leaving NYC is the best advice I can give anyone. However, that means that filth will be living elsewhere, so I only advise non-liberals to leave the city.
YO fui al concert en Peru el viernes 14 de nov. Fue genial, si tienes la oportunidad no te lo pierdas, aunque sea vende tu riñon, peor ve a su concierto!!!
I told you forever....I'd love you forever....you never, you never....told me forever.......That's my fave bit of this song-it's very apt for me right now and is hard to listen to, that and Make it all Ok, a split with my fiancee after 5 years when we met at an REM gig, let's just say I am so glad they didn't sing these live at the gigs I was st this year!!
Seguramente no tocaran esta cancion en el concierto del 14 (no he visto que la toquen alive) pero es una de mis favoritas. La melodia es muy armoniosa y la letra es, a diferencia de otras canciones del grupo, bastante clara y franca. Solemne y nostalgica a la vez.
i dont know about american people, but i certainly know about asian people..i ve lived with them. and trust me, for 85% of people when they do a favor to you, they usually expect u to give back something, sometime...they are veeery polite tough, but we dont have to see their "opportunism" as a terrible thing (well, it is for us, but not for them: it's just a matter of culture....)
ehi qasem1986 I want to know the climate of your Country!!!!!!! In my country(the southern Italy) the climate is mild almost all the year. Answer pleaseeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't like at least the USA, but I like Asia. At least the asian people are satisfied with few things and they are very hospitable (and they don't ask you nothing in change), while the american people know how to be hospitable, however I have the feeling that if the american people entertain you to proper house, later they always want to wait him for something from the guest. Then for the american people, but also all the west, the presence of the guest is not enough only for him.
This song is so good. Though it depresses me that this song is followed up with a load of wank that is Around The Sun. Now don't get me wrong, I love R.E.M. and I own all their albums but that album was sooo boring.
...and the english people are never satisfied with anything, they think only about themselves same, they are very kind and refined only because they feel him forced, they are sceptic, they are not borne alone. According to me it is for this motive that the most greater part of the sightings UFO they occur especially in England, really because the alien ones would like to change their stupid mentality...
