  • thumbs up if you think I'm a tool.

  • R.E.M.- rapid eye movement- the third stage of sleep when your brain creates artificial images and sounds to occupy the brain more commonly refered to as a dream

  • Comment removed

  • I like how it says click here for more songs, and there are no more videos uploaded.

  • for those who dont know the bands name means

    Rapid

    Eye

    Movement

  • @giorgos41000

    No, it doesn't, it doesn't stand for anything. It's just R.E.M.

  • @giorgos41000 already knew that lololol

  • @giorgos41000

    R.E.M. in the band's name doesnt really mean anything, Stipe only picked the term in random while searching for words for their band name in a dictionary.

  • Thanks finally great sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • ive known this song forever and damn it reminds me of something....FUCK GUITAR HERO! lol i hate that game.

  • ever since i was a kid this song would say in my head for days haha

  • the funny thing is i heard this in Menards and it was stuck in my head all day. this is a great song!

  • fuck guitar hero ill play this on a real guitar every time

  • I just wrote the meaning of the song for those fuckers playing games and knowing music through that shit instead going and sit fucking listening a CD or at least a fucking mp3 to learn to listen instead pulling and scratching their balls with a playstation or xbox and waiting for your friends to take out all the buggers out of their fucking noses.

  • Stipe related in 1987 to Rolling Stone, "I've always left myself pretty open to interpretation. It's probably better that they just think it's a love song at this point."However, in an interview in the January 1988 issue of Musician magazine, he said that the song was "incredibly violent" and added, "It's very clear that it's about using people over and over again".

  • I heard this on the radio last week and just had to hear it again, good thing the song title wasnt hard to figure out :D

  • Fantastic song , I like it so much for so long ;-)

  • awsome good song to go

  • great song!

  • This song is not a love song. Listen to the lyrics.

  • @Naushop1 it's a punk-love song,, the real REM's attitude before they became mainstream i think

  • this one goes out to the one i lovee

  • 16 People Are Hated

  • the one i love, and the one i left behind :))

  • Love this song!

  • I Heard this song on the fucking radio, not in a kids game, man, fuck this people >:c

  • the dislike bar is the size of bieber's dick :)

  • @thhfhfgh that so OLD dude. Get over Bieber.

  • @thhfhfgh what dick?

  • best <3

  • awesome, one song with little words says so much.

  • awesome, one song with little words say so much.

  • what does R.E.M. stand for?

  • @911Ranger1 Rapid Eye Movement. A state of sleep ;)

  • @911Ranger1 REM means RAPID EAR MOVEMENT, since they are a Band.

    The Sleep REM is different. Clever of REM, huh?

  • @beastybuster2 well I guess that the repeat of the same lyrics adds to the meaning! that it was just something to occupy his time and not something he had feelings about

    ! right?

  • !!!!!!! They are not death . You know , the music is forever. REM you ,re my religion. ¡¡¡¡¡¡

  • RIP REM!

  • @dancetotunes Don't say R.I.P, R.E.M, they will never die. So long as there are folk like you and me you listen to there music and tell others about them, R.E.M will live forever.

  • @TheNorthernFish

    me too! I will love them 4ever .

    

  • exlent!!!!!

  • Will miss you R.E.M!

  • terry

  • 14 fags!!!

  • georgess !

  • Guitar Hero? lame. Love this song though

  • MY FAV R.E.M.....i enjoyed this song and losing my religion sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooo much...thumbs up likers!!!

  • best band in the world!

  • fire meaning pain...havent heard this song in about 2yrs..im just in the mood for this muzik

  • thumbs up if you didnt even know this was on guitar hero.

  • @the1013trombone my dad had me into indie rock/alternative/rock/ect..eve­r since i was very very young..so i had known of this song way before guitar hero.:)

  • @the1013trombone - I stuck my thumb up my own arse, does that count?

  • @the1013trombone Thumbs down for attention seeking by asking for thumbs up.

  • Brother: Have you ever wondered why he just starts randomly starts yelling "fire!"?

    Friend: Now that you mention it, I am quite concerned for him.

  • @BAAMMzZ LoL :D

  • @BAAMMzZ hes obviously on fire and is in great pain and in need of aid

  • @BAAMMzZ maybe the one he loved died in a fire (so many possibility's )

  • @BAAMMzZ Well I was thinking it was more of his love was fire...

  • @BAAMMzZ

    I believe it's about an ex lover he wants to shoot.

  • @GiantKukri

    I don't think so...

    Fire! means the overcoming feelings in his heart...

    Because his 'simple prop' (to think to let the one you love behind you) didn't work ...

  • @thexmixup

    And yes I just assumed you're male in my comment soo I'm sorry if you're not.. :p ha

  • @fishsticks

    Thexmixup actually never even said he was opposed to it nor did he state or imply anything negative in the comment whatsoever. It was just a thumbs up to those of us who already knew it. :-)

  • LOSING MY RELIGION AND THIS SONG, THE BEST MUSIC OF THIS BAND!!!!

  • i lovet it this song

  • 12 people havent played guitar hero :P

  • I love this song - you too - E. V. - Thanks for this all!

  • Even though this song has very little lyrics, it has great meaning and that's all that matters. Great song

  • ''...One I love... Put yourself on the band... And see us forever!!!... YOU'RE THE ONE I LOVE!!!... '' Feel the love hearts!!!... Heart from the heart... With love...

  • @v1nna

  • Does anybody know what he mean's by ~ Fire! (x 2) and again Fire! (x 4), in the chorus?  I guess only the artist would know about that!! ~~ beautiful song though, love it!!

  • @bluebrett70

    In a documentary this song got explained as a love song which during the song turns out not to be a love song at all. Really sneaky, like stabbing someone with a dagger in the back. Which reflects his relationship with someone. The fire bit is very related to the "This one goes out to the one I love" bit, basicly whenever he tried to express his love to the person this song is about it backfired which made him feel like he was being burned alive.

  • flipping shyte ... This is nice

  • Great Rendition of the 60s Original

  • @bleachfanforever01 i love how ur a fucking tool, who gives a fuck if u know what the songs about u fag

  • @holmesy1894 well sed

  • I love how most people think that this is a love song, but look at the lyrics "A simple prop to occupy my time." It's more cruel than anything, but that's part of what makes this song so great.

  • A quiz said this was my first kiss song.........no

  • I love this soooong! it's ...wonderfuuul! <3

    

  • I love how people dedicate it to Guitar Hero just because that's where they first heard it. Seriously, the producers of GH didn't make the song, why give them the credit?

  • David guetta is a featured video??

    What is the world coming to?

  • Fire!!!!!! Used to strum this a lot!

  • I heard this from document, not guitar hero

  • fiiiiireeee

  • Thumbs up if you dont care if people only know this song from guitar hero or knew it before and just like the song ! :P

  • just beautiful R.E.M. ones of the best ever

  • Perfect!!!Super !!!i love it !!!!! R.E.M come to greece pleaseeeee :)))

  • I played this song when I ended a friendship. It wasn't because of a fight. We just started listening to this song to assuage the pain of ending such a camaraderie.

  • this one goes out to my music teacher, who said that 3 lines can't be considered lyrics. what do you say now, huh?

  • this was the first album i ever lsitened to before i knew what an album is. i didnt even know this was in guitar hero. 1991 baby

  • Comment removed

  • i took a quiz, it said this is gonna be my 'first kiss song'. i don't believe it. i don't really like this song that much

  • @caycici How ironic that a song about using people is supposed to be your "first kiss" song...hahaha

  • Even though it does have very limited lyrics, the guy has a great voice

  • great song..

  • amazing!!

    thot it contain few lyrics its still amazing!

    miss old days!!

  • does anybody what are the lyrics for the backup vacals in thhe refrain

  • @MrPapas1991 "She's comin' down on her own now."

  • @jrwalkerjr thanx

  • really nice song I'm 20 but i really like this one..

  • 12 people never loved anyone

  • i love this song.....efilnikcufecin

  • this is just fenomenal song

  • What's with the butt cone on the bottom?

  • Not a love song at all. It's about a guy who hooks up with women, uses them, and then takes sadistic pleasure from breaking off the relationship. That line sung in the background, "She's comin down on her own now," sends a cold chill down my spine.

  • Love this song....Amazing...thanks for posting this!

  • where is the lyrics?

  • Music like THIS is how my ears get laid

  • There's something strange: a lot of people has an "x" in their niknames but it seems like they put it in without making sense...

    Well, I know, this comment isn't about the song... But who cares?

  • @LadyH96

    xlolx

  • @LadyH96 I care, good comment. :)

  • why do you care if people dislike.thats what freedom of speech is law

  • I was going to say that i can play this on guitar, but it doesn't sound anywhere near as good when i play it on acoustic...

  • @coolsquaredwink You play it, that is good enough for me :)

  • The most Western `white` popmusic is derivative of Celtic music, isn´t it .....

    Especially when I hear R.E.M. I have this in mind....

  • the 11 dislikers arent loved

  • 1988 when I first heard this. Certainly thought provoking when you are on the Falkland Islands

  • its a nice song for the one girl i love..that she lift me...

  • I wonder if this song is for the one he loves

  • I wonder if this song is to the one he loves

  • Simple and awesome

  • Thumbs up if you knew this song BEFORE Guitar Hero :P

  • @ThexMixup hell i didnt even know this song WAS on guitar hero

  • @ThexMixup R.E.M honestly couldnt care less if you heard this song from the radio Guitar hero or a concert, as long as you appreciate it. i mean why do u think they let guitar hero use their song? they want to get it exposed to everyone

  • @BigBlue725 I was just curious to see who knew it before. :P

  • @ThexMixup hell yeah :)

  • @ThexMixup You're joking... I'm so old school, I don't even know what guitar hero is. ;)

  • @ThexMixup but how many ppl wouldnt be here if it wasnt guitar hero??? i mean all guitar hero and rock band does is allow ppl to play their favorite songs on a game or introduce other ppl to not only the song but the band as well.... now yes knowing the song before guitar hero is gud but i can clearly see u kno the game as well and that the song is on it so u cant judge those who came here because of it lol like u were anyway and btw i knew the song before guitar hero too ^^

  • @ThexMixup Yep.. I wouldn't even know what Guitar Hero is if it wasn't for my friend. I have never EVER played that game :3

  • @ThexMixup The only thumb up is the thumb you have up your ass.

  • @GRNDSLMHTTR3 For sure, 12 year old troll.

  • @GRNDSLMHTTR3 F off lil troll

  • @ThexMixup Thumbs up if you knew this song was on rock band not gutair hero lol...but yes i still did lol

  • @Wellnow123123 lol wow i failed nvm ur right...duh sorry thought of orange crush lol

  • @Wellnow123123 Who the hell cares? You don't need Rock Band OR Guitar Hero to listen to good music. AND LEARN HOW TO SPELL GUITAR! IT WAS IN THE VIDEO TITLE FOR CHRIST SAKES

  • @ThexMixup

    I was 5 years old when I heard it the first time...and now I am 27!!!

    Almost an old woman:D

    As long as I remember I´ve listened to R.E.M

    I grew up with their music.My mother was a big fan.

    unfortunately she died when I was 19.She was only 34.

    Now I am a mom,too and I´m really sad that my 3 years old son will never meet his Grandma.

    But when I listen to R.E.M, I remember the moments that we had together,I hope my son will someday listen to this music,too!And we have our own Memories!

  • @sizzeeeee Im sorry to hear that, but im glad you dont let it keep you down! :D

    Raising your son with R.E.M. is like buttering toast. its totally worth it XD

  • @ThexMixup

    And my son loves toast:D

    I was down for years after it happened,but now I have my own little family and I have to look forward.

    We can´t turn back the time,no matter how much we want it...And believe me,if I could,I would do it!

  • 000 g0d ! it's ... w0nderfuul ! memories with a song that you had heard it on 5 years old! 

  • @ThexMixup Seriously now, dear boy, who wouldn't?

  • @ThexMixup I just found the song 20 seconds ago lol

  • @ThexMixup Guitar hero will attract new followers to any group or song, it's inevitable. I don't understand why people are so opposed to that.

  • @ThexMixup We do  of course!!! Love REM!!

  • I Can feel that somebody just needed to make some money

  • OMG ITS FROM GUITAR WOLRD TOUR!!!! who the fuck cares.

  • this dude sounds like hes sad :(

  • 9 people got hot sauce in there eyes and accidentally hit the dislike button

  • Few words but so much emotion

  • the only reason i dont like this song is cuz there's one verse with 4 lines and then it says fire like 10 times... :\ grrrr repetitive songs

  • SARAH JANE JONES THIS ONE GOES OUT TO U WITH ALL MY LOVE HEART AND SOUL x x x x x
