REM - Leaving New York

[prettykath92]

Michael Stipe Vegetarian ♥

[francynucci]

Stati d'animo

[hanstonk]

i always wanted to seem them live, feels different that REM are not around considering they have been for the last three decades during my love of quailty rock bands like REM

[Superan2011000]

Simon Pegg/Chris Martin at the end `=?? Huh??? :S

[Scrivendoconlaluce]

È più facile andarsene che essere lasciati indietro, ( Mi porta lontano)

andarmene non è mai stato il mio orgoglio, (Cambiamento)

andarsene da New York non è mai facile, ( Mi porta lontano)

ho visto la luce dissolversi. (Cambiamento)

[Anden14]

I love R.E.M.! It's so sad that they chose to disband... I never got the chance of seeing them live which was one of my biggest wishes. Sometimes life isn't fair.. but I will always listen to their music and love it forever. :-)

Thank you so much for such great music R.E.M.! I love you, guys! And this song is so beautiful.

[keysersoze78]

R.E.M is awesome! One of the best band singing "live"....just check out "I'll take the rain" and "ascent of a man"...is way better than the studio version!

[viliamjochman]

this song was hit, when I started high school... I remember it well!

and now, I am starting college (second time) and they ended the carier!

r.e.m. as well, but more bitter than sweet... :/

[22ivj04]

Love your music forever!

[TheDelpinal]

GREAT!!!

[lovehorrordotde]

Leaving REM is never easy.

[Robma12]

R.I.P. REM :((

[MrMaxgomez]

Chills...

[pdc5552000]

brilliant michael stipe

[robymn]

Ten years .... or ten minuts for N.Y.C. ? Thank you Michael ...

Roberto da Mn (Italy)

[adriano4057]

ES LA MEJOR VOCALIZACION QUE HE ESCUCHADO

DURANTE MUCHOS AÑOS

[MegaEngel777]

Great Song!!!

[Khaaan12345]

00:41 best part

[hitajew]

Blinding.

[mickob45]

just awesome!!!

[funnylookingfoetus]

@BrianGodard In my personal opinion 'Up' is fantastic.

[phelpsfan37]

Extraordinary song!Saw them once live here in Cape Town South Africa.

[ricflairfan5]

I have a fever and the only cure is more Mills backing vocals

[Grandmamaa]

i think rem is great cuz they dont rely on computer generated sounds and what not. they're legit, they sound the same live as they do in their studio

[Jaiv74]

You may not like the song, or lyrics: But they are playing LIVE, in an absolute precision, that’s why I think they are huge musicians.

[0008ak]

amazing music.....

[tiax79]

grandi rem

[MariManson18]

Amazing...

[robin14669]

Are there more video's from this show? Please post them.

[taylorsurfer]

@BrianGodard

Agreed! Up is one of my favorites. I think people believe that because their music is different now then it used to be, it is bad. That simply is not the case, they still make beautiful music.

[davidytube1]

lástima el acople del principio pero excelente versión!

[patrickwegner]

@BrianGodard: thank you - finally somebody who agrees - I just loved "Around The Sun", never really understood the critical responses - I'm looking forward to the new album coming out in spring 2011!

[remrule]

@patrickwegner collapse into now ooh such a kwl album title aswell

[darkcainevil]

@BrianGodard too true, I love "Up" , I mean: Hope, at my most beautiful, sad professor, walk unafraid, falls to climb and of course daysleeper...too many good songs

[darren767]

@BrianGodard i agree......around the sun took me ages to get into but i eventually fell in love with it!!!...

[Oakziie]

wow, this song has been on my mp3player the last five years. Im Swedish and have never been in new york, but this song have made me write three diffrent essays about the city - and it was all just so i could play the song during the presentations. Long story short, this song will never leave me^^

[cuculainn7]

I worship at the alter of Michael Stipe

[LonnyJoe1]

R.E.M. is the greatest band (imo) in my life time. I love Michael Stipes' voice and Mike Mills on back up is just heart wrenching. I love this band so much. Reminds me of college. :)

[LonnyJoe1]

R.E.M. is the greatest band in my time; more than a lot of people know. I love Michael Stipes' voice...and Mike Mills in back up is just hear wrenching...in a good way. I just love them.

[jimmyoct1973]

Not many bands can simultaneously strike a melancholic and hopeful chord like REM. Bring on the contradictions!

[juanpolar]

his looks at the end like saying we played a fucking good song

[amsteli]

Love fades out... so get the fuck out before you get hurt.

[Turner2609]

REM is the only band that can hold a candle to the Beatles! I love this song - it is so melancholy....

[kali4nicationPT]

i was listening to this song when the phone ringed and they told me that my father had died... it always makes me cry... but i can't stop listening it

[clarkyJane]

Love Michael Stipe.

[505492]

I recently left NY ...and this song is everything its about.

[MaghoxFr]

They sound amazing live! That's a real band, take any band today, they all sound like shit live, studios pay millions to producers while they should be giving money to real musicians, it's not technology what's wrong, is the lack of talent, there's no technology to cover that up.

[gioani8rambo]

Rickenbacker 360 is the best guitar in the world!!!!

W Peter Buck!!!

[LonsdaleSoftware]

@gioani8rambo Oh yes! (12 string) And I wish I owned one but they cost a bloody fortune!

[gioani8rambo]

@LonsdaleSoftware but it's one of the best!

[jjbarbados]

new York is dirty, crowded, you cant drive, you never see the sun

newyorkians behave like sicilian inmigrants and look like middle eastern inmigrants .. cities like New york and Miami must be diferent , may have good press and marketing, but NY is definitively not the USA.

[rhapsodier78]

@jjbarbados Really?? I've never been there but I'm thinking to go...

[vivinedigggej]

@jjbarbados a lovely way you've given an idea of sicilian and middle East.well done!gosh

[barbiem92]

can someone know where the official video is? i cant find it in youtube!

[gioani8rambo]

@barbiem92 Search on Google...... i've found

[zunosunshine]

what was Chris Martin doingat the end of the video?

[HairsprayQueenN]

I love the beginning of the song...

[STANKAZBIRKOVA]

beautiful beautifuuuuuuuuuul

[moovgirl]

Did I post before about how much Ilove this song?? I do!!! Band from my college town I am very proud of ! Thanks for this video!

[GameMichi]

one of the best R.E.M. songs... PERFECT!

[MultiSasa87]

simply fantastic!!! R.E.M are really the best group that lives in USA!! Beacause they have always a great song to play! They are so incredible! Where there are Rem there are music!

[1000superstella]

great song!!!

[Tonymanasco]

ya real quiet.i'm in cali, MUCH quieter, I miss NY but I need a break.I LOVE YOU NY AMD ALL MY PEOPLE there.lol.xoxoxo.

[TheWalkingTerror]

great great great !!!!! ♥ ♥ ♥

[LadyStardustVertigo]

In my useless opinion REM is the only "stadium rock" band which didn't sell out cheap. Unlike my ex-favourite band U2 :S Let alone Coldplay nonsense and other green days.

[JohnGoodsir44]

re: sweetypie000 for fuck sake take the job , in this current climate we cant afford to quibble about statistics , i agree with your sentiment but sometimes the road to helping is full of pitholes , get me?

[sweetypie000]

i just got this job come through to me via email

"IS Solution Development Manager (Oxfam GB) £33,700 - £39,624 pa (plus market supplement up to £12,376) | Oxford"

nearly £53,000 a year ? WTF

You can only imagine what the Directors get. This is WRONG. This is supposed to be a CHARITY ffs

[conservativlysound]

@sweetypie000 - Thats close to 100,000 a year U.S. .... I dont get why you're complaining. Thats the problem with Socialist Democracies... Youre not in a Directors' position, so you're not entitled to higher wages.

You should quit complaining and be glad that the offer came through to you.

[sweetypie000]

@conservativlysound maybe you ought to start reading before you go and comment ?

dumfuk

:)

[conservativlysound]

@sweetypie000 - You talk a lot of shit. I did read the comment. You need to calm down.

You spell like a Chav. GTFO Noob.

[sweetypie000]

@conservativlysound you use grammar like a chav

[conservativlysound]

@sweetypie000 - Explain to me how one uses grammar like a chav? Because I can't say I've ever met a chav that could formulate a coherent thought. Thanks for you're lame attempt at a horribly constructed insult. Tosser!

[sweetypie000]

@conservativlysound don't you mean formulate a coherant sentence ?

Maybe this is your problem. Thoughts are not words. Presumption is not cool.

I know many people who may appear on the outside to be a personification of what society may resemble a 'chav' but are in fact very switched on and intellectual members of society who have the misfortune to be judged unfairly by dimwits like..... YOU !

Get out there and mix with some 'chavs' or just look up long lost members of your family

:)

[conservativlysound]

@sweetypie000 Thoughts are made up of words, you're trying to argue semantics with a man that is skilled in making people seem stupid.

Presumption is a useful tool; our presumptions are often correct.

I dont care if you know the prime minister;

Dimwit... Bitch please, I have an Iq of 144, thats borderline genius.

I don't need to look them up, cause I know where they are. They're located in a cemetary in a place called Dublin, ever heard of it?

[sweetypie000]

@conservativlysound

"you're trying to argue semantics with a man that is skilled in making people seem stupid." you rate yourself way too high, trust me :D

144 lol. don't think so. I know highly intelligent people and none are conceited

Oic, dublin ? so you come from knackers stock and you are a chav to boot

"Presumption is a useful tool; our presumptions are often correct." lmao, what a dumb incoherant piece of utter nonsensical garbage. Iq of 144 ? pmsl

:)

[conservativlysound]

@sweetypie000 Highly intelligent people are often conceited; Im Proud To Be Irish, The Difference Between The Irish and You British Shit Is That You British Have Never Been Able To Stomp Out Our Resistance Forces... SO How About You Go Cry About How Youre Not Making the Money You "Deserve". ... In Regards to the "Incoherant Garbage" ... I made two Coherant thoughts. 1. Presumption is a useful tool. 2. Our Presumptions are often right.

[sweetypie000]

@conservativlysound there you go again with your conceit.

you can't win guerilla warfare sunshine so don't go patting yourself on the back so quickly. On your 'Irish' heritage who really cares? My great grandfather was one of the last people taken out of the gpo in dublin and given a death sentence but you don't hear me harping on about it :)

"Our Presumptions are often right." lmao, a flippant statement by a moron

[sweetypie000]

@conservativlysound 144 pmsl still

not even double didgits son and if you got 144 the test was wrong

[conservativlysound]

@sweetypie000 Digits*, youre a hateful shrew arent you. Apparently you didnt pay attention in history class, the Chileans and Russian Communists were both successful at overthrowing their respective governments. The Russian Communist State was an ultimate failure, but nonetheless. sorry to hear about your great grandfather, but he obviously wasnt the greatest guerilla.

As for you tryin to call me a moron, I'll smile and go about my merry way.

[sweetypie000]

@conservativlysound

shrew ? LMFAO ! ha ha ha

i think i've just seen you - walking down the road with a smile on your face, yes look ! theres a moron !

[shatomanya]

Rem has PASSION. Everthing else follows..lyrics that reach far beyond the average, melodies. Whatever, this band is true.

[bushwhack69]

i like r.e.m

[Stoopchow]

I agree with bushwhack69. I like R.E.M. Sometimes it doesn't seem 'cool' to like them but fuck it, they're a good band.

[Jolie028]

very beautiful!

[Ladybellagabriella]

ich war ja auch" real" da.

[marga6847]

Hermoso tema! Más lo escucho, más me gusta!

[breks1988]

they are god with a bothel a wain and a girl, and you hawe a 100% of spending a good night....

[marianopela]

very beautiful song

[moovgirl]

Woooo! Great song from a great band from my college town! Thanks for posting this video. (-:

[jivimome]

Asta care canta e un poponar scarbos.... pacat ... Dumnezeu i-a dat talent si el isi bate joc... :|

[gdansk87]

yeah.. but its an inside thing.. i believe it.....

[BenicioJavier75]

Exelente tema y calidad de grupo musical de verdad R.E.M es una de las mejores bandas...

[penny704]

it's easier to leave than to be left behind...

[themooddisorders]

I agree it is a great song, but would have been great shortly after 9/11........... New York will never die..... I'm Canadian, but c'mon Canada is right there with you folks.....

[SuperFreddyKruger1]

beautiful song

[Tobin33]

imo the best song they ever made, rem ftw

[justus821]

leaving new york is like leaving your most precious...rem did a nice song to make this like a love song....its so great. T_T new wave at its best ^_^

[idicula1979]

This is a beautiful song, but except for the first three songs of Around the Sun I was a litle disappointed. But R.E.M is good band to rediscoves, as I am finding out.

[Val12072007]

It's you.. It's what I feel..

I told you.. For ever.. iLy

[knopfler720]

Fuck yeah bro. Up rocks!

[haddingtonbb41]

woul you agree that reveal is maybe the worst rem album? for me its close bewteen that and fables.

[haddingtonbb41]

u sir are bang right.

my top 5 from up

1. why not smile

2. falls to climb

3 daysleeper

4 airportman

5 lotus

[theeponym]

@haddingtonbb41

:O

No "Sad Professor" or "At My Most Beautiful"??!?!

@BrianGodard

"Up" is an odd one. With the exception of a couple songs, it's very unfriendly radio-wise. And I'll admit that it took many, many listens for me to enjoy it. Now I love it. You just have to be in the mood for that sound.

[haddingtonbb41]

thats why up is such a great album. I love both them songs aswell. REM albums take a long time to bed in. How about top 5 from around the sun(another gem).

[luisakatumi]

amo esta cancion es  !sube tanto el animo!

[2009funk]

..bella.

[chrigi90zg]

ich liebe R.E.M forever

[garradetigre]

I'm leaving ny in two weeks to San Francisco I hope it's as amazing as ny first time in San Fran

[HeeroYuyDekkers]

I like their songs for the meaning and the many ways you can interprit them

[iJul1609]

Love the tune, love the band, love the city...

Especially the City :)

[thejaguar67]

I don't really know REM but this song is wonderful !

[mrinna62]

MTVGR :''''''')

[celicaboy1981]

I think REM is one of the most talented and amazing bands of all time, I also feel that they never have received the accolades they deserved.

[clubmedsteven]

@celicaboy1981 ..........with Temper trap and U2!!!!!

[roejogan8]

@celicaboy1981 they do receive accolades. do a google search and read up on them. you'll see...

[LonsdaleSoftware]

@celicaboy1981 I completely agree. I love this song.

[veymont]

REM's best song

[rohgenextfan]

@depp4everfan: I went and loved it. Want to live there, but I need to find a job so I can save up.

[SoonSeptember]

Moving to New York is my biggest wish.

Long life to R.E.M.

[Heraders]

grande michael stipe!

[stevepwood]

The R.E.M. I listened to in the 80s is back..... haunting vocal by Michael with good backing vocals and musicians! Where have you guys been?

[bilk1231]

beutiful song

[annuskella]

I'm leaving New york.........che città fantastica, i'll be missing u =((

[TelJilad90]

wonderful *tear*

:)

[agusformol1]

es mi cancion favorita de ellos, leeejoss.

[fobcn69]

me encanta esta cancion,aunqe no podemos decir qe es la mejor..simplemente porqe un 'losing my religion' o un 'man on the moon'

son mucho mejor qe esta, sino qe esta es de las mejores qe han echo hace poco.

[zihuetlachtli]

o drive o bad day o last straw o sweetness follows

todas son unas rolotas

yo pienso que no tienen una "mejor" cancion

todas son maravillosas

[fobcn69]

pues tienes razon porqe todas gustan i no me estraña

[adriano4057]

esta cancion es fantastica ,me imagino estar en el paraiso llamado : NYC

[Hotercus]

bella cancion unas de las mis canciones favoritas

[AmyMessi2008]

bellissima canzone!!!

[TheListentube]

exellent

[lafebbraforever]

Non conosco tutta la discografia dei REM, ma questa canzone è fantastica!

[gpeddino]

I disagree that this was their last great song... Stuff like Supernatural Superserious and Until The Day Is Done are awesome, probably even better.

[RottingintheMidwest]

new york's alright if you like saxophones.

[a08ftr]

me gusta mucho esta cancion, aunque nunca estube en NYC.

[liambirch]

ROFL! Oronzo. 'Crying on the plane' ?

Pull yourself together man FFS! There are some soft feckers in this world.

[raudsokka]

<3 <3

[a17gtr]

yeah new york's allright, i prefer paris or rio de janeiro, los angeles on a good night

[greenbuurger]

i loVe this song!!

♥

vor 3 jahrenn hab i des des letzte mal kert und jetz wird mei herz wieda warm<3333

♥

I like it soo much!!

[OronzoPanzi]

Wonderful song! I've been to NY this summer, and when I left the City I've listened to this song many many times... I was crying on the plane, with this song in my ears and NY under me.

Mike's got reason: leaving was never my proud, too.

[Psycho3418]

Me too! Although I didn't cry but I find it a magnificent place. It's a city with no equal! NYC is a second to no one!!

[minichapman]

beautiful. I love you josie.

[obriensimo]

i dont like the change in rythem after 1 min the mood of the first min and especially 1.50 to 2.10 is brilliant

[Picnicl]

Leaving New York is an great song but 1 song from Around the sun is especially under-rated - The Ascent of Man.

[LANCSKID]

Stipey, Peter (air rage) Buck and Mikey (backseat) Mills ... but who's drumming these days?

[90NITRO]

woooow

[zwierzozwierz]

This song makes me cry... its so touching and Mike's voice so, sooo, so tender... thank you REM... ♥

[GigiSassari]

This song makes me think about New York City and how much I love this place!!!!!! Everyone should go there once in his/her life!!!

[whalestail1955]

wow. that was brilliant

[steviemax147]

11:11

[agusformol1]

muy buena canciond e rem

una de las que maaaas me gustan lejos

[freddysinf]

una delle più belle canzoni dei REM

[victornazil]

es el mejor video de

rem

[elvisitaliadj]

great song

[Ioria89]

this song makes me think to the queen of hearts(Alice in wonderland,1999)...or to the two fat clowns who continually jumping...or to the caterpillar who continually moving...or this song makes me think to young Simba(the lion king 1)

[MrJuzu]

he is fantastic

[Sjofugla]

This could well be their last great song :(.

Something tells me they've never really produced the fantastic songs that marked their early days.

But boy, what amazing tunes they've given us over the years.

There's only one REM.

[sogood53]

rem

[Rockferry2008]

this is their last good song. miss the atmosphere songs like country feedback, e-bow the letter, wtfk had...

[ToulacAxeHand]

Ever heard Until the Day is Done, or Hollow Man? Atmospheric if you ask me.

[Vidmakr6302]

This is a terrific song. i will always remember REM one of the best bands of all time. Their songs are so touching and mean something

[gek918]

great song dio pork
