R.E.M. - Walk It Back (Official)

[nueve08]

So beautiful, so simple, so real as R.E.M. always was.... I miss them:(

[allTimepsy]

RuuuN

[parafrwn21]

where is 199something??everything now seems a crap

[luckywookie]

Great song. Love REM but this is complete wank. What a load of bollocks. Watching a pissing horse! Yes of course its art. Emperor's new clothes more like.

[pennycrayon69]

the horse penis is really disturbing haha

[subscriber060711]

collapse into now

[jennbeth1]

well-endowed horse.

[vauxhallmozzer]

Great song...poor and nasty video...

[tristianity4u]

This clip should pop up when you google "great song, horrible video".

[bondball22]

This video is R.E.M's master piss...

[newoldtymer]

Michael must have had a film friend to whom he owed a favor. Great song, tho.

[TurnerPEdwards]

@newoldtymer Ummm. How about no? This clip was made by Sophie Calle, who is arguably one of the most famous modern artists around.

[maxtrips1]

you should listen to REM the old school way ... Without video... Walk it Back

[MakijazeKasiD]

The video's pure f-art. Love them anyway

[amatanotmyrealname]

What is it?? That horse scene is so... khm whatafuck?

[sponsellerfd]

nice :)

[funkyfab10]

Poor lady, what's she doing in the mix?

[berletka]

19 September 2010 and 9s 

[Ultimomonodelanasa]

fuck the video!!!

[good4tuna]

Amazing. The piss makes a man shape, then rivers and islands. something out of nothing. And the song... Why could I not have such a gift?

[InBloodChains]

i can't for the life of me figure out why they would a video like this for a song like this.

[JohnLennon100]

great song with a disgusting video ...what a shame ...mary jane ..

[lazrpo]

Still better than a Ke$ha music video...

[MsG4M3OV3R]

te amo REM

[TheSkellingtonGhost]

I can see the art form in the peeing horse. It's how the waste flows down with the movement of the piss. It's not the best R.E.M. vedio but it's instersting

[vhanna26]

Yuck. 

[LeukoplastS]

my dislike is for the video, not the song.

[rudiniification]

The whole video is ghastly. beyond words What's with the fly? UGH.

[darknessthehedgehog3]

hay this is on Warner Music Group channel Warner Music Group go fuck your selves

[jokerndpack]

could make that vid in 30 minutes

[highestcrown]

What a nonsense video for such a beautiful song. I am really astonished...

[gjc82071]

Now I know where the expression comes from "Piss like a race horse", LOL!

[grvty123]

Disgusting video but awesome song.

[StartRunDMC]

The dance makes me laugh, the fly makes me consider my insignificance and intricacy, and the horse piss produces a serpentine river in the evening light. Beauty where you least expect it: garage, menu, barnyard. The song is tender. Stipe's voice is like 20 yr old Scotch. Like everything else REM touches, it is pure gold. Their "bad" is better than most other's best. Who else has produced so many gems? Ooh, icky horse wee wee and flies eat their own barf. This video is gross. How obtuse.

[IamRedleaf]

@StartRunDMC Michael's voice is like 20 year old scotch. Such a Patient Soul of Sorts....

[djpio707]

worst video ever

[kfrmax9]

Michael let unREM people whose work REM fans have no interest in make the videos. they are made for his enjoyment only. disturbing trend. this one is as bad as the "dr pepper guy" is boring. again not made for us. still love the this song. 

[slavatomenko13]

REALLY? REALLY?

[buretehudesi]

great video. its about us beeings of the earth.

[jannninna]

OMG !!!



[SOUPRUN01]

Some people seemed to be getting pissed off.

[bartcummins]

don't get it? it's not intended for you. simple.

[TheOgnu]

I love R.E.M. but... WTF ?

[Belle28895]

yeah, great song, horrible video. I love REM, but I must agree with everyone that I don't get it, and I don't think it's just me.

[42guide42]

They should have just had the woman dancing. She was pretty. Horse pee, not so much.

[Robohump]

@RobotWillie Easily the most uncool "music video" I've ever seen. It was so uncool that it actually made me cringe. Like some 55 year old's verson of "being hip". So fucking lame.

I used to be a huge fan, but they should have quit wqhen Berry left. New Adventures was their last great album.

[Arielcful]

que buen video!!!, la canción una cagada

[MaidNoMore]

Wow, that's the stupidest thing I've ever seen. Thank you, REM, for that reward for nearly thirty years of listening!

[magpiemaniac]

I can hear the meeting between the director and the band.

"Ok, guys. Here's what I came up with."

[blank stares]

[KKlawm]

Can we really forgive them for letting this horrendous video film clip from wreaking havoc on innocent civilians?

[darkallegiance666]

WTF??? At one point the horse piss seems to resemble a horse head, & the fly is odd - I've never seen one with a white bit on it's back before although I realise that flies probably vary between countries & species.........but......why??­????????? Surely even I could have come up with a better almost anything from my webcam????? A fly , a woman & a stallion....what does this mean??? REM - what were you thinking??

[RATSALAD9]

Weird. Just weird.

[Rodrigoes]

horrible video, i hate that not the music

[themooddisorders]

I will lick the part where the fly laid it's eggs

[MarcoBassBrasil]

What has the music to do with a fly on a piece of paper in french words? is this Art?

[nhojewoh]

Great song...... really crap Video.

[thfcdouble61]

Horrendous video for such a beautiful song

[theisland1989]

nothing more poetic than a horse peeing

[DivineVisions2012]

What the hell!? Beautiful song, but video doesn't make sense!

[keithbkr]

Great song. Horrible video.  Sorry maybe the director is great but I thought this particular video was just plain a bad.

[danielcastelobranco]

A música é legal, mas o clip é um desastre. :(

[redpaul79]

"cans of piss" redux

[redpaul79]

hmmm... flies and horsepiss—not necessarily what i see in my head, but there you go...

[gatsuuga9]

I've been a fan of R.E.M. for about 18 years, and I have to say that Collapse Into Now is the last CD of theirs I'll ever buy. I give up on these fools completely. All the time I've been their fan, collecting their CDs, being a part of their fan club...all a waste. I'm thankful to this video for making it all clear to me. Never again.

[theeponym]

@gatsuuga9 lol, what? You buy records for the videos made by some director as part of a big collaborative project and not for the music?

If it was because you didn't like the record, I could sorta understand (except that it's, in my opinion, their best album since New Adventures).

[gatsuuga9]

@theeponym No, I loved the record, I'm just changing as a person and have no interest in horse-pee bands anymore. When I was a kid I liked all kinds of them, but now, I just don't want in anymore.

[MrFabry641]

Video bewildering

[kriq07]

great song... lame video... come on.

[Martina9Bob]

I cannot understand this video ??

Beautiful song but the video sucks. It is not artist and it hasn't any deep meaning in my opinion.

[Serendipity2709]

Awful Video for a Beautiful Song

[revistaDC]

Wonderful song. I actually never watch the videos because i care about music, but the comments made me watch it. Is strange, but just a point of view. The music is great.

[greasy82]

I was grossed out. What's the point to this music video?

[bismarkalmeida]

lol

[grant1133]

a whole 30 second segment dedicated to a horse with a massive knob...nice.

good song though

[jalbubba]

Art or not, what does horse urine coming towards me make me want to do.... walk it back a little :)

[fred6059]

What would you have me do? Bring back the REAL R.E.M.! These guys suck

[70highlands]

Johnny2010. Thank you for the response! I could not disagree with you. I've always loved REM, Buttt, they are not The Floyd! From Meddle to Final Cut. Pink Floyd are the Masters! And time,time,time will acknowledge this!

[loolynewbie]

*poker face - meme*

[Travis7060312]

a horse taking a piss is not art

[instinctct]

STOP ASKING WHY AND ENJOY THE WORK. ART DOESNT NEED JUSTIFICATION U DUMBASSES

[Millyzza]

@instinctct Thanks God because there are so competent people to explain us the meaning of art ;)

[Travis7060312]

@instinctct its not art its a horse taking a piss and some lanky chick dancing

[instinctct]

@Travis7060312 no its not art but who cares. REM did a great song. Sophie made an unremarkable video which is not even nice. guess they chose the wrong director here

[sneekapeek707]

waiter there's a fly in my loop

[clrncd15]

Now I don't wanna see the video.

[arusky2001]

Love the song.. The video is gross.. Who thought up the horse bit..? Sad

[therealisation]

never realised so many REM fans were so prudish

[fabertrick]

@therealisation you're right. im totally disappointed with these comments

[NinjaPirate77]

That horse must have felt so good after that.

[VistaBoner]

Deserves a classier video

[MatyldaJola]

looks like everything is sh* except urine...

[MatyldaJola]

talking about video... song is great...

[70highlands]

In the early 90's i remember having a shower, and hearing losing my religion! I thought thank god, a band has saved the 90's music! Nirvana, Oasis, followed! This song could not have a more blatant, obvious message! We live today, in a rushed, fast minded time! Leave the car for once? Time, time, time, time, life, can always be altered by thought! REM explain it for us, in sound and words.

[Johnny2010uk]

@70highlands

Oasis?? Are you putting them in the same category as REM & Nirvana? I think not. Stone Roses maybe, they were original. As are REM and Nirvana. Oasis are poor followers/copiers of the Beatles & stone roses and have not affected the music world in any way shape or form... apart from an arrogant prick of a singer who is now proving his "talent" with his new band. I'll give you that Noel is talented tho and hope his stuff is successful

[MsSoleyka]

I DEFINITELY LOVE THIS SONG.

[Kinebe]

Wonderful song with stupid video. 

[Kinebe]

Wonderful song with stupid video.

[Kinebe]

Wonderful song with stupid video.

[Kinebe]

Wonderful song with stupid video.

[Alexandre19012]

WTF?



[maxniz93]

fail

[jrah77]

I've never disliked an REM video ever, but I had to. I just wasted time and I feel terrible now. :-(  Why did this happen?!?

[3GBlog]

Dont you guys get it? Its an erect horse taking a piss with shots of a women dancing and it ends with a fly...what the fuck is there not to get?

[John1MN]

Thumbs up to R.E.M, for a great song.

Thumbs down to Director Sophie Calle, for the world's worst music video. It's not artsy. It's just stupid.

[Nirvanamymusic]

@John1MN a bad video yeah, not the worst, becausa at least this is music

if you watch a "lady gaga" video, god! no no, that's the worst, but that isn't music, just the worst

[Rodrigoes]

wow, what a f*uc**in way to make a video, it`s horrible!!!

i LIKE THE SONG IS THIS ART???

[ReturnOfGrossvesir]

WONDERFULL..............R.E.M !!!!

[TheRomanStalker]

That video was so weird.

[kimmohoon]

these videos are so weird, i can't believe anyone would enjoy these... shame cos he new record is soooo good

[kimmohoon]

@kimmohoon "the" not "he" :)

[kimmohoon]

@kimmohoon "the" not "he" :)

[goiu1989]

Hey people, watch my video INSTEAD! I'd love your comments. (it's the beach scene in Longboat Key. Maybe Michael Stipe will pay me to use mine.) HA!

[samyfan77]

It must be a Joke, a?! when it was released - on 1st Arpil?

[FirkinFilms]

The fuck is this?

I hope to god this was an April Fools O_o

[NJBlue82]

Nice song, garbage video. Wonder if anyone in the band is a fan of a horse-sized one? I hear Stipey is backing Romney in 2012...

[monastare]

is that artwork, miss Calle?

please, never make video again!!!

[Bagwell20]

Vaya forma de joder una bonita canción.El disco muy bueno, un disco redondo, pero este videoclip es una payasada total. La bailarina da miedo, y lo del caballo me parece una guarrada.¿Por qué no hay ningún video para CIN en el que aparezca el grupo al completo haciendo lo que mejor saben hacer, esto es, tocar buena música?El arte conceptual con caballos meando no tiene nada que ver con REM.

[diecer50]

When your beard is white, stop doing coke.

[fountost0]

The only good thing that brought this video is that I googled "Sophie Calle" and saw some interesting works of her. Unfortunately, this is not "modern" or "conceptual" art video but 100% garbage. Some random video files thrown on Windows Movie Maker. As @upoflive77 put it with one word, "sad".

[evva1975]

I love REM  but this video is piss ; )of shit. I hope this is a joke...

[gponter79]

You sometimes sit back and wonder if this would have ever got passed Bill Berry?

Ha ha ha never mind - horse piss fly dance

[danbit5]

i dont really associated music to vids, i think it sounds good:)

[stipey2]

I sincerely hope this is a piss take!!!

[elstonnancy]

Bahahahahahah!!! I have been an R.E.M. fan, for over 25 years. Therefore I can look past anything, short of them backing a republican for political office. This too shall pass. hahahahahahahahahaha



[upoflive77]

This video is nothing,empty heart and soul.Sad

[Nirvanamymusic]

R.E.M.

michael stipe

HOW COULD YOU DO THAT?

D:

you're a genious

incredible , just incredible, what the fuck was that?

don't fucking kidding me u.u

[CarrotCakeStudios]

Now everytime I hear this song I'll think of a horse pissing.

[rodhdzmtz]

I love REM, but c'mon... this is the worst piece of shit i've ever seen.... the girl's dancing is amusing, but the rest of the video is pure shit (and piss...).

[MnickS011]

hahaha! best of rem's video!

[nueve08]

When did R.E.M. videos make sense EVER!!!??? come on guys... I think beyond the simple images and the cheapness people might think it looks I really loved it. It's natural, it's just natural and "Walk it back" is the perfect song to play along with it. It's not the best R.E.M. video buy for sure is one of my favorites already:)

[MrDude200001]

o_o



[epiriek]

XD



[CassandraAntares]

I suppose they are saving on actors, promps, etc, lol,, great song though

[MrIggster96]

? What a pile

[heathasmith]

Beautiful song and a terrible, terrible video. Doesn't compliment or enhance it in any way.

Apparently the 'artist' responsible for this trash just got three videos she already had sitting on her iPhone, stuck the song underneath and she was 'done'.

What a shame this beautiful, heartfelt song wont get a better accompaniment than this throwaway piece of garbage.

There's art that makes you think (Warhol...) and then there's just lazy rubbish where the artist clearly had no interest in the piece

[meuntitled]

I actually like it and i think i kinda get it....

[ningunrecords]

@meuntitled well explain to us what goes on please xDD i think this one is the worst of collapse vids

[meuntitled]

@ningunrecords Hahaha Mann i did not exspect having to exsplain this...Lets see. Dancing in playfoul way recored on camera phone = home video happy times when he is looking back. Fly on the menu = To us fly is nothing and we bearly notes them unless they anoy us...so after the brake up he feels like the fly, she does not notes him and if she does its anoyes her. The horse ? Well when guys feel like the fly they usaly get very drunk, and that usaly ends up pissing in the street. How did i do ?;)

[ningunrecords]

@meuntitled interesting, thanks for reply and the explanation

[tanner1ie]

Alternative title for this video "river of horse pee", hmm lovely? :) .

[buttholesurfer666]

It's official. They said, "Fuck it, Youtube doesn't care about good music."

[frostipagan]

Michael Stipe has said that YouTube has replaced MTV (correct). So here's hoping he watches YouTube and reads these comments.

Dear Michael,

I am a rabid R.E.M. fan. But you guys have seriously lost me. Please take note that while your arty friends are making films that they believe are complimentary to your beautiful songs, the consensus among your true fans is that this video flat out sucks. "It Happened Today" was lovely, though. But come on, guys. You've got to be kidding us.

[ubujacks]

WTF? A horse having a piss? Love it

[rcrocha]

Stupid, lazy and vile.

[MrBlagajnik]

video sucks ...

[zhlchlv]

its fucking sick!

[ATOMICOELIA]

una delle più belle dell'album!!

[MrRuiBem]

LOL

[profbucko]

well,.... I can't wait for the explanation of this one :D

[terpsihora2108]

Song is so good :) , but the video is a bit weird XD

[biglice33]

Everybody's talking about the horse... but what about the dancing girl and the fly walking on a restaurant menu ? It's also a little strange, isn't it... ? xP

[drH2010A]

Yes, you are truly alternative band, you don't give a f**k what other people say, you're doing it for you and because of that i love you!

[taylorsurfer]

Sometimes it's dangerous to give artistic freedom to people directing your music videos.

[Thaepheux]

April Fools video. (please?)

[ebrahiemaadil1]

@Thaepheux haha didnt think of that !

[jojoharris69]

i like the song, but when i watch this video all i can think is "video 'literally' killed the radio star"... weird.
