[flightonenine]

twenty years on & still sadly relevant



[Mr8081970]

Awesome!!!! I just seen them performing live the other night, on some show, sorry cant remember the name of the show, it is the one were they have like a circle of stages and several bands play one after another, R.E.M. rocked it. Took me back, just like this.

[Woodenklees]

REM's best song so far....to my humble opinion....

[heather4him]

This has always been my favorite REM song. Not sure why, unless it was because it was the first song of theirs that had lyrics with it, which meant so much to my little middle-school-perfectionist mind. But this version is even better. AMAZING. And this was when Stipe-y was hottest....

[kimoxxx]

yeah right on !

[rjrayner1972]

Probably the best acoustic track since Fables. Underated - Yes, everlasting definitely. I like Peter's influence on this, plus Michaels voice.

[Grundberg78]

¨probably the must underrated song in the R.E.M. catalouge with The Wrong Child. Just so awesome, and having other people like you guys liking it, its just awesome!

[jemteek7]

@Grundberg78 thank you,world leader is a classic.best on green(by a mile)my favourite rem song.

[radioahead]

This is better than the kcrw version with the broken string. shame about the interview!

[dastipe]

yes stipes voice in so unique.

[Stipeman]

please marry me heidi.

[heidigretel]

I am married :)

[whirlpoolzend]

Michael's voice at its best; words can't give it justice.

[carlosvg]

[heidigretel]

[marcuscarolus]

I remember seeing this on Dutch television at the time and being completely blown away...

[radioelvis]

Who knew the ElephantMan was an accordian player back in 91???

[northernlight7]

That'll be Peter Holsapple.

[KJRolling]

This outstanding song is featured on page 6 of 'The Song For Today' by Jimmie Oliver.

[GlennGould77]

Brilliant! But once youtube had Losing My Religion, You Are The Everything and Half A World Away from exactly this session. Do you know where they have gone respectively do you have this material too?

[heidigretel]
