[MrEthereality]

[TheRafferty94]

the WHOLE R.E.M album, sitting in a dark room doing absolutely anything, WILL guarantee you being happy for the remainder of the playlist...

[rtozier2011]

This song was not playing when I lost my religion, but I wish it had been

[flabby1550]

How can crap like justin beiber get over 5,000,000 hit and this just gets 6,738,598

[dallasluce]

This song was playing when I lost my virginity

[RayWKins]

Did not this video win the MTV award?

[Kento617]

@RayWKins I think it did. But that was a long time ago... =) 

[TheRafferty94]

@213mrbrandon calm the fuck down he is just expressing his opinion the way he talks where he lives, I talk like that but i dont go on at every person that comes out with slang i dont know, sit down and listen to the music instead of flaming youtube. no need.

[funnydude462]

Xavi's favorite song!

[blehh25]

I heard this song on 94.5 Jelli Vegas and I had to take out my shazam out... Here I am liking this song even more :)

[thijsh100]

Mooi liedje:)

[baddmood]

i known nothing about religion. and i dont care .each to there own.still a great song

[ducakrugs]

shit hot

[213mrbrandon]

@ducakrugs What the fuck does "shit hot" mean? Did you just take a shit in your hand and decide to share what it feels like? Did you JUST come up with those AMAZINGLY insightful two words? But, most importantly, did you make that BRILLIANT OBSERVATION all by yourself? Fucking retard

[TheAdsfactory]

the best music

[bwmusmc]

the video and the song has a simple meaning. it about men wanting to become gods.

[deadwombat]

@bwmusmc I understand the phrase means to lose ones temper, and that is how Michael has explained the meaning. There is a good artical on the clip in wiki, explaining the images, and the original paintings they came from.

Regards.

[luigicamp69]

@bwmusmc Yeah, I can see that you did some research in the regards to its meaning... (not). Maybe you want to check out Michael Stipe's interview where he talks about the song. Religion per se has got nothing to do with it, it's only used as an expression or symbolism.

[DangerVonCoken]

@bwmusmc yes. it is about men wanting to become gods more then anything else and being nothing

[yankees2249]

Why oh why did they have to break up? :(

[nazcawarior]

Ummm, what does this video mean anyway???

[11labello]

I think this song is about growing up.

[lordsalisbury1]

I don't want to sound gay or nothing, but goddamn, Michael Stipe is a handsome dude. I'd definitely smoke Stipe's pipe.

[Kento617]

@lordsalisbury1 you know what's really sad? they finally called it a day last year in 2011. Thank you REM for leaving us with over 31 years of awesome music!

[joefederighi]

To me this song is about being in love with someone so much, devoting yourself to someone so much, and the feeling of "withdraw" after breaking up, loosing something in your life that meant so much. I remember hearing this song as a child but I appreciate it alot more after going though my own crap.

[Kento617]

@joefederighi I like your interpretation! Mine is on what the title says, on religion. Sometimes when I succumb to my own temptation I feel like im "losing my religion." The spotlight, in my opinion, is when all eyes are on me; especially when I am at my lowest. It's such a beautiful song though man.

[DangerVonCoken]

@Kento617 your a fag dude

[Kento617]

@DangerVonCoken "you're" on my dick for expressing my opinion but im gay? Fine by me, not my problem

[DangerVonCoken]

@Kento617 no, you're probly not gay, you're a fag. you have a very faggy mindset and probly dont have a girlfriend or boyfriend and your'e probly mormon

[Kento617]

@DangerVonCoken Aah I see what you did there. It's funny because the word "fag" implies that i like guys rather than women. I get it now. hahaha. Why do you care on how I live my life? If I was a mormon, then so be it. If I was gay or straight, so be it. What difference does that make you? What's a "faggy"? smh lol. Do as you please, im going to enjoy the music. You're a cunt and will always be one. the only thing that'll change is that you'll become a bigger cunt. probably will have cunt kids..

[MaximusMDecimus]

@Kento617 that's what I call a diss :p

[Kento617]

@MaximusMDecimus thanks man. I mean that dude was just an asshole. I mean I can understand that there will be assholes in the world, but I just like to think of it as this. Anyone can talk shit, it takes an adult to clean it up. That being said.... I had to mop the floor with his punk ass LMAO! Hey, what are your favorite bands? =)

[Pacotronixmon]

Close your eyes and imagine your W.C. in 0:00

[Kento617]

@Pacotronixmon what's W.C?

[CassandraAntares]

My fav REM song, thumbs up

[onfiregun17]

@CassandraAntares i do not believe i have to thumb up ur comment because this is my favorite REM song.

[razrelle]

la chanson est aussi sur guitare heroes : warriors of rocks

[alexx0710]

This film clip reminds me very much of Heart Shaped Box's film clip. Is this the same director? Because if it isn't, they must both have very similar influences!

[ZeldaFoxEars]

@alexx0710 I have to agree with your comment, I'm still asking myself the same question. Well trying to find the answer.

[therealplease]

Hope my neighbors like this song !

[Patato75]

I've got to go to work, but fuck : let's replay 0:00

[alezanaabrego]

la primera vez que la escuche fue en el pollo kfc

[MrHammerTlme]

You know what else he lost? His ability to dance. damn.

[PhenomenaL40]

Warriors Of Rock !

[beastybuster2]

We will always R.E.M.ember

[jopdevriend]

Is the singer already death?

[DGTinderbox4lif3]

@jopdevriend

"already death"

-_-

And no, Stipe is still alive.

[jsph29]

Stipe told Rolling Stone magazine: "I wanted to write a classic obsession song. So I did." In addition to calling it a song about "obsession," Stipe has also referred to it as a song about "unrequited love" in which all actions and words of the object of your obsession are scrubbed for hidden meaning and hopeful signs. The lyrics pretty clearly support this: "I thought that I heard you laughing, I thought that I heard you sing. I think I thought I saw you try."

[jsph29]

i herd him talk about the meaning of this song and he said it was a obsessive love song, like everybreath you take.

[Hrgfarnal]

I totally agree @AnimalNitrateinMind. Like doing something bad doesn't make that person evil. We all mistakes. We are all nothing but humans anyway. It isn't like "You say potato(tei-tow,) I say potato(ta-tow.)"

[AnimalNitrateInMind]

@Hrgfarnal You know I was making a Nostalgia Critic reference, right?

[AnimalNitrateInMind]

@Hrgfarnal lolwut?

[AnimalNitrateInMind]

Tarsem directed this?

ASK ME WHAT IT MEANS! ASK ME WHAT IT MEANS! OH-HO OH-HO!

[AGuyInAHat]

@AnimalNitrateInMind LOL!!! YES, THANK YOU! I was waiting for someone to say that! I didn't want to be the only one thinking that.

[AnimalNitrateInMind]

@AGuyInAHat You're welcome.

I hope we're not the only ones who get it!

[GoteeDevotee]

@AnimalNitrateInMind what does it mean? tell us...

[AnimalNitrateInMind]

@GoteeDevotee It means you don't get the reference.

[GoteeDevotee]

@AnimalNitrateInMind yes obviously I don't why don't you help me to understand as you OBVIOUSLY seem to know.

[AnimalNitrateInMind]

@GoteeDevotee Search 'Nostalgia Critic The Cell' watch and all will be revealed.

[sbsftw4232]

@AnimalNitrateInMind that was a terrible reference. i wasted moments of my life... moments i will never get back.

[AnimalNitrateInMind]

@sbsftw4232 Well you're in the right place.

[cyber4liens]

@AnimalNitrateInMind what it means?

[mindblot97]

@AnimalNitrateInMind What does it mean.

[DatNiggaNayNay]

for a sec he kinda looked like forrest gump lmao

[TheScepticalSlave]

1:36 This guy looks so much like the young Freddy Mercury.

[AGuyInAHat]

The Ninties was one of the best decades in Music. < That's a Period. PERIOD!!!

[TheMarrification]

@AGuyInAHat The early 90's and the alternative scene that R.E.M. were a part of were awesome maybe brit-pop too; but the commercial scene, especially the late half of the 90's were complete rubbish, lol. Especially with the Spice Girls and bubble gum pop. I don't know how we survived that at school. I was 5 at the turn of 1990 and 15 at the millenium. But yea, either way; R.E.M. is fantastic!

[AGuyInAHat]

@TheMarrification Wow! I never saw it that way. Thanks Magical Music Man... I mean Marrification.

[AlexMakesThings]

The way I see this song is that it's about Kurt Cobain, a friend of Michael Stipe's, and how Michael was trying to help him and in the end it wasn't enough.

[karlitamoxxa24211]

i love this song!!!!!!

[manygate10]

A true classic of the 90's! And one of many great songs they produced and performed!

[SpazldNinjaDude]

the great thing about this song, is that it isnt about anything, its about what you interprit it as, the only thing it is, is what the writer, so the band too, was thinking at the time, and what they think it is, like with art, the true meaning is what the painter says, not what people think they says, so for some songs or art or poetry we can never know what they realy mean

[SpazldNinjaDude]

i forgot R.E.M did all these songs, crap, gotta buy them.

[JohnWarner968m]

It's just fuckin' amazin' song!

[dontmesswithtexas14]

song was wrotee for kurt kobain, he blew his head off with a shotgun, he had this song on repeat on his sterio....people say the R.E.M band knew exactly wat was goiing too happen

[Nexius8]

@dontmesswithtexas14 Except that it was written and relealesed in 1991 for and by the band.

[smashedaco666]

Lacuna Coil honestly made a great cover to this song !! :D And it made me check out this Amazing original version .

[SpazldNinjaDude]

@smashedaco666 that is true, still not as good as the original, no one can beat R.E.Ms originals, like with Queen, but it was still an amazing cover.

[Abaqwa]

майкл помоему в этом клипе рвет всю фигню .... сложно сказать... блиин попы сделали свое дело...

ненавижу!!!

[treysaboy01]

The people who disliked this they thought it said ' dis i like'

[agzuiiuniv]

esta chida la cancion

[TheBOOTYSWEAT107]

this song is about a friend about your just trying you help. but he just wont listen to you. and how sad it is to see were they wind up in. you lose FAITH in your friend to help.

[Breju35]

This is Music



[coralikespenguins]

It's not about religion, Stipe said in an interview that the title is a euphemism for reaching the end of one's rope. My nephew told me he identified with this song because of the abuse he suffered at the hands of his stepfather.

[bleach4613]

@relyt85- faith and religion ARE different. You use and is and you're failing to separate them :P

[mandyroxurworld]

Can somebody tell me the name of the song by REM. All I can remember is that it has this bit where it just goes la la la la lalala la. I really like it but i can remeber the name XD

[cochinodos]

oh my god, after all these years i just figured out the lyrics...it's about the internal struggle gay ppl experience if they grow up in a religious setting. Of course they can't admit that in the interview because they would get into trouble with the catholic church :-(

[ILUVCRICKET100]

i like this song and im 11

[Infynytum]

amazing voice, amazing song... absolutely timeless



[paulpalmdaniel]

there were no water effects to begin with.. UUUtoob

[Pacmau01]

If there were songs like these nowdays~...

[fefe3006]

somzeraaa !!!!

[JPCCARREIRA]

I can't even see the dislike bar this song is just GREAT

[Ursonmory]

@JPCCARREIRA thats how you judge a song? by a dislike bar?

[UndercoverCracker]

This song probably has some of the best lyrics of all time.

[omgomgomgwtfisgoing]

Jesus died.

[fatmansleeping]

At the time of posting 316 people are **** Heads

[melissacoussons29]

Faith....without seeing and believing.... Our God is an awesome God.....This song is a mockery... Doubting Thomas believed ....I LOVE MY JESUS!!!!!

[kintarben]

@melissacoussons29 There is a difference between religion and faith you ignorant Christian...try looking in a dictionary next time instead of your bible.

[melissacoussons29]

@kintarben Maybe you need to open your BIBLE instead of a Dictionary!! Of course there is a difference in the two! You had NO clue as to what I was talking about, So who is the ignorant one, BUT Being Homo is wrong...& Oh BTW..the band split up...

[IchHeisseKatzin]

Being homo is not wrong at all. Being a religious fanatic does.

[kintarben]

@melissacoussons29 Then why the fuck are you talking about faith on here. The song has nothing to do with the faith of R.E.M. dipshit. Losing my religion is a southern expression meaning going crazy. Now get your extremist Jesus dick-riding self out of here.

[meccalove619]

@kintarben FINALLY im from Australia and you r the only person ive spoken to who gets the saying losing my religion

[SETIat1420MHz]

@melissacoussons29 according to the band in an interview sometime back, the song has no religious implication but is more about having an obsession with someone.

The phrase "losing my religion" is the same as saying "losing my mind".

Which is something I'm sure you're familiar with.

[melissacoussons29]

@SETIat1420MHz ....Yeah a Homo obsession.....& you can read my comment back to the ignorant one from above, it's to you also. Sheesh! Think you all know everything...

[kintarben]

@SETIat1420MHz melissacoussons29 is just another typical Catholic, let her think that she is right. lol.

[clovisalves100]

que pena o r.e.m acabou

[rennie720]

loka..

[andy469]

[Shagrath626]

[1classywoman]

The loss of his religion is more of a lack of his faith which is only rewarded with an eternity in Hell. Satan will tear your flesh off with his gnarly Demon knuckles, your screams of anguish and agony will only fuel Satan's insatiable appetite for that which is the suffering of humanity.Repent heathens and open your heart up to Jesus.

[RegencyRoyale]

@1classywoman Boy Ain't You The Excellence of Christ!...you give the 'Greatest credit to an enemy!...a Greater Civalization Is Trying To Keep Us Within Bounds!...you sound like you know the 1fallenangel well!....this song sounds like someone examining a dream but with the greatest ability to fix it!

[GolfBallHeads]

@1classywoman guess ill see your preachers there then :D

[relyt85]

@1classywoman no, faith and religion is different

[1classywoman]

@relyt85 No they're not. one is the other. what Bible do you read? Obviously not the King James version.

[Fatward1988]

@1classywoman Ignorance IS bliss, i can have Faith in the fact that youre going to be upset and reply in an rude demeanor. Now... that cant be the same as my Religion can it? if you do read the King James version of the bible then youve already contraticted it by casting the 1st stone.
