  • then take the fucking video off ..obviously this is what everyone wants...it has the most views!!

  • Just wondering if anyone else read all the comments about this - from the original "beautiful, haunting, soul music" to "insert swear words here"..

    Like, why not just remove the video rather than just the sound? Doesn't it just promote "bad press" otherwise? =)

  • f*k man, youtube is so going down with all this copyright crap or whatever; Music should be FREE !!

  • I don't know about you. You sound a bit like a communist. Are you a COMMY, boy?

  • really music shouldn't be free. if you dig the tune, support the artist. musicians put it a lot of work to make music and the fact that everything is digital these days makes it seem like its free but its still many hours, days, and months in the studio creating their art.

  • cunts

  • Let's see if the people at WMG realize that with this attitude they are destroying culture; it is like burning books, that sentence gives us no longer enjoy the music, brings them up to the Nazis in Bebelplatz 10 May 1933, they will know.

  • A ver si se enteran los de WMG que con esta actitud estan destruyendo cultura, es lo mismo que quemar libros, que pena da que no nos dejen disfrutar de la musica , les pone a la altura de los nazis en la Bebelplatz el 10 de mayo de 1933, ellos sabran.

  • Que verdad.

  • let me fuck you all and youtube because you are rasist and discrimante population from romania. why the fuck this video has sound disable in your country. This is what it tell's me. So fuck you BASTARDS. Delete my account. So what? Fuck you! It's free country and free wishes to. Fuck you! Damn You!!! If I walk down the... Fuck!!! Hate YOU!!!

  • what a joke. Back to the dark ages picture and no sound ! is there a version of this that michael stipe sings on ?

  • Ha Ha!!! To me it tells that it's not available inmy country. So fuck the other country. What do I have? I am from romania. So what?????????? Fuck!!!!! What has to do with this. LOVE You

  • this song is what? 15 yrs old? what have they got to loose by letting us hear it? wankers

  • FOK WMG >>> GROW UP DUDES ENDING ERA'S

  • can we hear this soon then if the deals been done ?

  • I can just see the poor WMG exec sitting on some sidewalk with a brown paper bag around a bottle, wearing discheveled clothing with a sign made out of cardboard with the phrase:

    "Spare some change for an old WMG exec?"

    hahah

  • This really it total bullshit on the part of WMG etc. Why don't they just slap some ad on the page and give them the revenue.

    I hope they realize that this is just making people more angry and even less likely to buy a cd. Even if it's of an artist you like. For instance I already HAVE this record. Because I really like Kristin Hersh, I have almost everything. So who are they to take this audio away from me. I've paid my dues (so to speak).

  • Bastards you! fucking google and youtube crowd!

    Stuff it, then. I´m bloody able to find and get myself an album along with this track!!

    DIRTY YOU AND YOUR ILK!!

  • So I came looking for this song to put on my blog, I had the album years ago, saw it live... and now I can't put it on the blog, so no-one extra will see it, and come find it, and maybe search out the album and buy it.

    What kind of anti-artist bullshit is this?

    IT MAKES NO COMMERCIAL SENSE, YOU FOOLS.

  • this is complete bullshit.

  • YouTube Blows since Google took over this shit

  • it's not like this song just came out?? are they serious???

  • fuck you WMG, yet another reason to avoid giving you any cash whatsoever.

  • lame

  • No wonder the record labels are losing money - they need to keep in touch with reality.

    What purpose does removing the audio from this, all it is doing is stopping people from hearing it.

    WMG: Listen to the viewers.

  • you're fucking kidding me...

  • Fuck WMG!!!

    They keep their artists from getting more fans and listeners, prevent buying cd's!!! I often bought good CDs of Artists I've seen on the web...

    WMG is not good for culture, not good for their signed artists....

    They are really stupid and have no Idea of modern marketing...

    Surely music cannot be for free, but a compressed Video is always good advertisement for artists....

    cheers!

  • Fuck the majors, free the music!

  • Good times and great music.

    Too many great songs in the 90's

    What is now playing?

    I gave up after Garbage and Beck.

  • I was about to go get a CD version of this album- to replace my cassette. now, I am not going out to get it. The hell with WMG. I will support music that is meant to be shared, and Kristen gets my money when she gets this BACK on the web....

  • yeah cos they are greedy bastards who cannot see further than the end of their nose

  • Exactly, mate! Fucking short-sighted business bastard Capitalists.....heaven forbid ya do something clever or innovative! It might not make a quick buck!! Wankers!!!

  • They shouldnt copy right music - it almost seems morally wrong.

  • I love this song and the video fits it just perfectly. Now I can't watch the vid with sound because I live in the UK and in time-honoured tradition, this poxy little piss-hole of a country (or should I say CUNTry?) has forbidden us to listen to it because of some pathetic little rule which must be upheld at all costs! Only in the fucking UK!!!!! This shit-hole is the laughing-stock of Europe. Fuck the UKand its petty rules and regulations!

  • Just thought I'd mention it. I live in Greece and I can't hear the song here either. Luckily I've played it so often over the years that I know it by heart.

  • Well said mate

  • Aye, man. Makes ya sick to live in the UK, so it does!

  • nothing to do with the UK, but with those companies.

    Same here in Belgium and all the rest of us youtubing this.

    Obvously WMG does not want this and youtube agrees on it.

  • she's singing with another guy on this song right,

    but who is it again?

  • michael stipe from REM

  • This is such a haunting song,shame i can't hear it.Where's my old Triple J Hottest 100?

  • Ai ,no sound eh?well a good excuse to dig the 45 single up from the basement.

    WMG is in desparate need of money I guess. but if this is the way?

  • wtf ! this is the best song on you-tube and i can't listen to it :(

  • FUCK WMG< nobody will ever listen to anything licensed by you now. Good work you tools, anyone on your label won't get downloaded. You guys will lose money! Real smart marketing. Now people will illegally download anything on your label rather than pay for it. Brilliant way to conduct business. And you guys wonder why people won't pay for music? Perhaps if they could hear how beautiful some music was, they would. Instead the only person hurt is the one that matters, the artist.

  • I really don't understand why we're now not allowed to hear the audio on is track. Pretty old now, but great song. Why not let us enjoy it? Hardly going to effect sales!

  • what's happened to the sound bloody hell can't here my fave song :-(

  • Fuck them for disabling such a beautiful sound!!!!!

  • Beautiful song with or without stipe.

  • What a suprise to listen to Throwing Muses and the respect they received from their more famous(though not necessarily talented peers).Micheal Stipes is in the mix,this is a little enchanting gem.Were Nirvana into their earlier stuff?

  • Such a ing unbelievable song, it blows me away every time!! PS love Michael's look from back then. Thanx for posting xx

  • Why didn't Kristen Hersh get the attention she dereved. What wonderful multi-layered lyrics and an absolutely beautiful symphony of sound. New artists should take note. This is how you get taken seriously.

  • Such a superb songwriter and performer. Why did she not command the attention that she deserved?

  • finally a song that can make you dream!!!!!!!

  • why do you believe that?

  • I believe this video was filmed in athens.

  • Nice song,have a listen to Lisa Hannigan's cover on you tube.Its also quite good.

  • i shall never forget this song..

  • I heard this song years ago on a college radio station. I love it and never get tired of hearing it. The funny thing is that i never knew who sung it until now. Sadly there are not too many singers or songs like this nowadays.

  • beautiful song and i DO like stipe but the demo version on the 4ad comp with just her singing is more beautiful and haunting

  • Danke aus der Stadt Essen........West-Germany

  • i LOOOOOOOVE this song, it is so damn beautiful, quiet, powerful...

    greets from kleve, west- germany, too ;)

  • Stipe is the MAN!!! And Hersh is the, um...woman!!! haunting still.

  • This is when even Stipe was cool as fuck.

  • Still is....check new album...

  • love the maya deren references in the video

  • This is bloody lovely.

  • is this realy as old as it looks?

  • It's from 1994. Great song. Very haunting.... Respect to Hersh and Stipe

  • wow thats old, but not as old as mortalkombat

  • BESTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

  • If you think this is good, you should hear Black Lab's version.

  • i love this song..michael stipe is one of my favorites..

  • today in leon mexico!she is amazing!

  • Awsome song, really spine-chilling.

  • Spine-chillingly beautiful

  • lovely song,

    If there are any novice guitar players reading this:

    Try to learn this song its verry easy, the only chords you need are am-g-d

  • One of my fave trax from the 90s. x

  • this is the first song i ever learned to play on the guitar!!!! hersh rules!!!!

  • this is amazingly beautiful - i LOVE their voices together - Mr Stipe is one of the best singers ever

  • Dark, haunting and beautiful with deep emotion. I remember this song from back when it was released, a shame that a masterpiece like this isn't acknowledged.

  • 6.3.8.... "you were in my dream"..

    Isn't this what Michael Stip is singing towards the end?

    Love this song! My sis has this on cassette!Never remember seeing this vid.. I love YouTube.. You can find just about anything!

  • Yep, it sure is Michael :).

  • tender and gentle, pure and erotic, dreamy...

  • Awesome!!

  • preciosa............

  • I hadn't seen this video for over a decade, and I only now realized that it's meant to be a tribute to Maya Deren's films. At least, I HOPE it's supposed to be. Otherwise, it's bordering on plagiarism. It looks remarkably similar to one of her short works, in particular. "Shades of the Afternoon", I think it's called.

  • I think it is clips from the maya deren film. may be wrong, but it looks like it to me.

  • Ein Lied und ein Video wie ein Traum.

    Auch beim 150. Hören jagen mir bei Kristin Hershs Duett mit Michael Stipe noch Schauer den Rücken hinunter.

  • Wahnsinn, oder`Seit Jahren habe ich diesen Song gesucht....

  • what year was this song releaseD?

  • 1994

  • thanks

  • Love this song. Brings back a lot of memories...

  • I love it!!!

    Thanks, Michael!

    See ya on tour 16.7.2008! :-)

  • love this song.. sing it all the time lately..

  • great song!!:)

    is there anyone who can translate the lyrics of it in german?

    thx

  • you can't really imagine how many times I've liistened to the "Hips And Makers" album (I adore "Velvet Days" and "A Loon")

  • because rubbish is commercial music and this is not

  • A Five Star Song... indeed!!

  • She is awesome, it is really beautiful song!

  • Never heard of????? I was listening to Kristin Hersh 20+ years ago when she was singer for Throwing Muses, she's still fabulous|!

  • oh man that's where i've heard her name before! im a huge belly fan., so im familiar with tanya's past bands, such as the throwing muses and the breeders.

  • OMG, this was a nostalgic moment!!

  • Epic

  • i prefer lisa hannigans version too, cant find it on here. this song is haunting, reminds me of a friend i lost in my teens, the way sometimes i feel like he is still around somewhere, i just cant tell where. kinda haunting but very brilliant song.

  • i wonder what ever made m stipe choose to do a song with someone at that time never heard of. It is a good song.

  • what? so he has to do songs with only famous people. I you knew anything you would know that a lot of people know of her. Great song.

  • Um, in certain circles, Kristen Hersh was really quite popular. I think had she had more mental stability and was able to tour more at the time that she was on the cusp of hitting it big she would have gained a wider audience. As it is, she did pretty well and continues to.

  • does anybody have lisa hannigans version?

  • tukker.. this is the version with M Stipe :D

  • Beautifull

  • This is deep. This is modern. This is Rimbaud. I love this song. Just want to hug her all the time!! This is deep.

  • Great song, the version with Michael Stipe from REM is even better.

  • one of the best albums ever written.

    the letter.....

  • guys really... i was looking for this song over 5 years... i'm 22 and on my 16-17 i heard that one when i was on vacation with my GF. since then i can't forget that rithm. Never found out what was the title... today i just lern that freaking title from a radio station.. no words to explein the feeling about that one... defn my favorite song :) thnx m8 that you upload it :)

  • must be a great feeling :) enjoy it

  • same for me! looking for it forever, i never knew what song it was. thanks!

  • Positively chilling. There is something special about this song.

  • Oh yeah.... It's got some real emotion driving it... Feels freaky - All the better :D

  • always and forever the best :)

  • perfection is the least I could say about her music.

  • Ther`s something special about songs in a minor...

  • great song. never saw the video before. love it. thanks for posting.

  • This music video is an homage to Maya Deren's experimental video Meshes of the Afternoon.

  • Can't wait to show my Dad this. Our musical tastes combined in one duet. Keep up the good work, Kristin.

  • this song was haunting me in the 90s.

    beautiful.

  • Oh! Fuck! its a great song but if ur gna listen to it listen to the cover by lisa hannigan n damien rice cs this is horrible!!! its like listening to two different songs played off beat n out of tune! I hate it!

  • Oh shit wait!!! Im soooo stupid!!! i jst realised my itunes had automatically coem on! I wes listening to led zepplin remasters at the same time!!!......lmao! I satnd corrected, sorry kristen!

  • best comment ever.

  • lol thanks! I bet it ws quite entertaining!

  • if you listen to the chords in this song and you listen to "last dance with mary jane" by Tom Petty, you,ll find they're practically identical. but this song is trully beautiful. All hail Micheal Stipe!

  • That was great song, and it always will be.

  • Ahhh... its The Unforgiven

  • Mesmorising!

  • i like the guy from the Bronski Beat in this song

  • dont be such a wise ass dutchman...you soooo know it is Michael Stipe, it is about time you admitted your girl has much better taste in music than you!!!

  • geen idee dat Stipe ooit bij Bronski Beat zat... Bedankt! Maar misschien wat diplomatischer volgende keer

  • Jimmy Summerville zat bij Bronski Beat. Ik ben voor 100% zeker dat Michael Stipe NOOIT bij Bronski Beat gezeten heeft. Laat je dat dus voral niet wijsmaken. Grtz!

  • R.E.M

  • beautiful!

  • Wonderful , thank you!

  • Great song. Listening once isn´t enough...

  • Beautiful

  • Guys where im already listen that music but with different words? Im did it, im sure.

  • Think Dylans `Knocking on Heavens Door` uses the same chords.

  • hmmm...probably u right.

  • breath..taking..

  • A brilliant song, should have been a bigger hit

  • Amazing! One of the best songs ever written!And Michael Stipe...

  • Its a nice mellow song, but have you heard her band 50 foot wave, they do a heavier version and its really not that good.

  • this is absolutely beautiful. when their voices blend.... it takes my breath away.

  • beautiful...

  • nice melody, sad but lovable...

  • Great video and great song! Her remake of Nirvana's Penny royal tea is great too!

  • beautiful. so simple it hurts. it sucks you deep into her head.

  • nah, she IS schizophrenic, but got it pretty much under control for many years now. wickedcliche was right.

  • Actually, I think she has Bipolar Disorder, which is very different. Bipolar is much more functional. I doubt she could do what she does with schizophrenia. And she has a song called Mania...her music is more indicative of Bipolar.
