R.E.M. - I Believe

[UBchristennis]

Amazing song. Pure brilliance. Hope in life yet!

[TheTwinSeasons]

20 and english and i love this song and R.E>M full stop!

[seansurlow]

Wonderful Song...so many memories of being 20 years old.

[TheUnclePunky]

someone asked me my favorite REM song..I laughed and named about 20...one of my all time favorite bands

[RainJetSprinklers]

Thank you SO MUCH for including the lyrics in the info. It amazes me how many people don't do this and how annoying it is to go back and forth between two different sites. Well done!

[JoshuaTaylor]

I'm SO happy to hear that the generation coming up behind mine still loves this stuff... TO be in college in the mid-80's, with MTV ruining everything musical, there was REM... The REAL shit ! Meant the world to us....

[lyonslaforet]

Lifes Rich Pageant is one of R.E.M.'s top 5 albums for it's fresh, consistent and powerful!

[lismclis51]

You don't listen to bands for awhile, then you go back to them and realise how great they were and are. This is one of those bands. I absolutely love them. I remember buying this tape back in the 80's and wearing the damn thing out.LOL. I constantly played Lifes Rich Pageant. I couldn't get enough of it. I was into bands like The Smiths and The Cure and then these guys came along and blew me away. The only thing that bothered me was the fact that they took so long to truly be discovered. REM#1.

[pines23]

@lismclis51 Absolutely. This song brings me right back to freshman year in college at UW-Madison listening to REM, The Replacements, Lloyd Cole and the Commotions and The Connells. What a great time for music...........

[GAdawgsfan93]

@lismclis51 History has sort of come full circle for R.E.M. They are still a great band w/ the past 2 albums being some of their best stuff in years, but yet they're not getting much airplay except for on Alternative rock stations.

[icecreamscuseme]

One of my favourites but I couldn't possibly grant any of my favourites first status as I just can't order them like that. Anyway, this one really opened itself up to me when I saw the Tourfilm version.

[Bookem311]

My favorite R.E.M. song hands down. God I love them! I miss Bill though. It's just not the same...

[MorganNWAF]

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT.

[Herege]

I love this song, bring me back bad memories but still lovin

[yungremTV]

A lot of girls wanna be on my YouTube. I be all over they walls I'm getting Face book. Give me Myspace so I can Google in her Inbox. Google me. Yung Rem

[Cubs1437]

The best R.E.M. album

[veritasrex66]

I grew up in Ga. This is true southern rock. You can really here Stipes accent on this one. REM were the first southern band to speak in that disenfranchised southern voice.

[GrinchandMax]

REM do positive tunes, too, and they are excellent at it.

[themooddisorders]

Counting Crows paid a great tribute to this song! Rain King!

[bartleby2007]

My favorite REM album.

Lost interest pretty much after this one as they decided to go the arena rock route.

[chayaus]

@bartleby2007 This is a great album....but if you love REM try New Adventures in Hi Fi. Never got the acknowledgment it deserved....but probably one of the best albums of the 90's.

[blind4life2121]

Man I LOVE R.E.M. i can just sit for hours listening to them and just think

[veloboy]

@blind4life2121 I've been doing exactly that. So far, every song from Chronic Town to Lifes Rich Pageant is present and accounted for on YouTube, plus a few outtakes, b-sides and live versions of course.

[FlorrieDugger]

can't wait for this remaster. wish they would put them out faster though, fables is next.

[funkydafunker]

I think it's ' horns of the day'

[fanniterrette]

I also thought he sings "horns of the day." "Arms of the day" just doesn't sit right.

[khasperg]

yeah, somewhere there's a site online explaining his lyrics...it says originally the lyric was "hours of the day" but someone transcribing the lyrics for him before a show wrote "horns of the day" because he misread stipe's handwriting...stipe liked it better and kept it

[funkydafunker]

REM wipe em all aside.And they all wanna name drop them too. haha

[urinezombie]

Makes it pretty obvious where bands like Counting Crows got their inspiration.

[themooddisorders]

Very Obvious Counting Crows....I bet Adam Duritz wouldn't deny it

[mojowi]

Agree !!!

[colibri1]

This and several other songs on this album fueled my days in the mid-80s, so hopeful, thought-provoking, and somehow inspiring.

[voodookook]

Masterpiece!!!!!!!!!!

[hydrophonik7]

trust in your calling, make sure your calling is true,  think of others, the others think of you....

[kosmicspirit]

The sidewinder sleeps tonight.

[hydrophonik7]

the sidewinder sleeps tonight

[skeetergreen]

This song is a serious contender for all time favourite of mine. It never fails to cheer me up or motivate me.

[vilecompulsions]

amen

[DRUMMERxGURU]

can i "snap " that buddy / just was i was thinking .

[sweetttina666]

I believe in the instrinsic properties of chemical bonds and that we exist on a single cosmic vibration...and I am transgendered.

[sorcerer1975]

" when i was young and full of grace, i spirited a rattlesnake " ahhh love this band and mr. stipes lyrics ! ROCK ON WAKE UP BOMB !

[cezarw]

i believe in coytoes

and time as an abstract

[BirdofSaxony]

One of my favorite parts is "When I was young and fever fell, my spirit... I will not tell."

It makes me wish I wasn't looking at the lyrics the first time I heard it. It would have been a nice surprise.

[buggerteetar]

great song.great album,thought id love these guys forever.for me last viable album that i bought/liked was green unfortuanately.

[proffesornutbutter]

i absolutley agree. warner brothers poisoned them i think...

[themooddisorders]

maybe?!?

nice nickname! primus sucks and they'd have it no other way!

[proffesornutbutter]

@themooddisorders

primus kick tits clean off :D

[shawnhalf]

wonderful jangly Rickenbacker all the way through PLUS a banjo intro and an accordion instrumental break. What more could you want.

[sorcerer1975]

"I BELIEVE IN COYOTES, AND TIME AS AN ABSTRACT ... "

can't help but believe

[MusicJew158]

Lyrically genius

[worldmeon]

Super Beautiful :p

[ElephantRage]

Legend.

[ErichLanghorne]

The best REM song, next to End of the World....

If I only had a few minutes to live, this would be at the top of the list to hear as I died. Or "End of the World" Can't decide.... Fuck. Hope I don't have too!

Ho HOOOOOO!

[saguaroboy]

or fall on me!

[simonturner73]

this is one of my favourite REM songs

[superacho]

Great song!!
