Welcome back to the 90's man. I miss music like this and tool. Now what do we have? Friday. Baby. And worst of all Kardashians. What happened to actual music that makes you think? Now we just have a catchy tune and words to ryhm with the tone. Someone needs to step back into this great era and emerge with a voice worthy of my time.
@ArcaneFaith obsession and unrequited love. "Losing my religion" is southern slang for obsessing over something to the point of it being more important than all other things. In this case, the something is another person. The video is just a series of religious icons.
@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.
@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
@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.
@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.
@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!
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.
@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.
@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
@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 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? =)
@kdawg3485 hahahahhaha thanks for the tip man! Looks the pot's calling the kettle bla.... never mind. I just don't understand how that guy was such an asshole for no reason
@MsDjElmo Actually, its just been temporarily postponed. And if it has been 'officially' dropped, then we'll have something similar soon...Too soon :(
One of the best songs ever!!! And to everyone who argues if this or that about the song having religious meanings just shut up and enjoy. Remember that music is for uniting people and for enjoying it :)
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!
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."
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 I mean forgive me I must be stupid, but help me here please - are you saying you have no idea what it means, and asking you was futile? Or, are you saying that this "'Nostalgia Critic The Cell" explain everything in this video? Some parts or one part or what?
Can you not help me to understand? as I said I am quite stupid
@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!
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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 :-(
Cool

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.

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

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

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 :-(
