[iguanna41]

I only see Michael Snipe at 2:39, your full of shit!!

[kerrypentlow]

Is that boy messing with the fire hydrant Michael Stipe?

[PlottingMax]

Thanks REM for your great songs, I grew up listening your music and felt touched a lot of times. One of the best bands of all times. Thank you, from Mexico.

[DerAlmighty]

The vocals on this song are just amazing. Stipe, Mills, and Kate just going at it.

[kaijoran]

One of their best; a perfect song along with a perfect video that makes me wanna join these nice people. LOVE R.E.M!

[harvland1]

Summer of 92, First job, first pay check, first pair of designer jeans, first lads holiday, first sex,.......Happy dayyyyyyyyyyyys!!

[HammerLex77]

If I had to pick the best REM song, for me this is it.

[heathh74]

r.e.m. forever!!

[janpadillo]

thanks for posting this vid and on my birthday :) love the song!

[BringItBackITV]

Best REM song.

Alongside Everybody Hurts.

Brings back memories from seeing my Uncle in Bath in about 2002 and my mum and dad's weeding. Ah, bless.

[Sarinha52281]

i love so much this song!!!!

[Garycarlyle]

Thanks REM. You defined my childhood. Much love and good luck. Peace and light.

[BoyArgentina]

My teenage comes to me as i listen to this song... i looked for it for years!!!!

[eartant]

I'll miss them. I think I gave up on them after 'Monster'. Now I'll have to hear their newer stuff.

[mataleao1994]

@eartant Accelerate wasn't their best. The first three songs on it- Living Well is the Best Revenge, Man-Sized Wreath, and Supernatural Superserious are the best songs on it. After that went downhill.

[GAdawgsfan93]

@mataleao1994 Until The Day is Done isn't a bad song either. Or Hollow Man. But I love just about everything on Collapse Into Now.

[mondrago77]

Bye guys!!!!!

[seanmeade]

Eddie Vedder said it best at the Hall of Fame induction: Mike Mills was R.E.M.'s secret weapon.

[leehocking514]

R.I.P.R.E.M thank's guys! :D

[BettinaBalser]

Honestly, this song is so good, it makes me cry.

[alexandrepaulasilva]

I love this song and video. Perfect. Thanks, R.E.M. =))

Amo essa música e vídeo. Perfeitos. Obrigado, R.E.M. =))

[bennymalone]

KRS-ONE at 1:33 !

[MsSnapcrackle45]

At 2:39. when you stop it you will see my grandma. and the little boys playing in the hydrant are my brothers :)

[RojoBemol]

Did you know Kurt Cobain said that "the only band I'm actually jealous of is REM"

[Lukesparow221]

@RojoBemol yea i know, he really looked up to them. i believe they even did a song together right? i'm a huge fan of both nirvana and rem

[bdickerson86]

This video just feels so damn good! :)

[moppklikk]

One of the best REM songs without a doubt.

[videovictim3]

4 people are not near wild heaven.

[vymmas]

@videovictim3 Oh for God's sake it's soooo annoying when people look at how many dislikes there are on a youtube vid and then make some desperately unfunny quip like you've just done.

[kerrypentlow]

Who was that naughty little boy who messed with that fire hydrant?

[kerrypentlow]

Was it Simon messing with that fire hydrant?

[blackwatch171]

Rem and green day are two of my fav bands

[MegaSpitfire5]

Generally, Out of time is the strongest album from them. Magic and at the same time simple music. It is best to listen to REM in the morning.

[ElecticGuruofHotness]

EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[34bostonceltic]

1:34 the blastmaster KRS-ONE

[34bostonceltic]

134 was that the blastmaster himself ?

[richardchacini]

URBANITY

[ricflairfan5]

theres only one thing to say.... its Mike Mills. never will there be another equal

[Aussiephil99]

Classic Buck arpeggios

[Tobbyno]

Brings back memories. I'll always thank my Dad for choosing R.E.M. (along with other great artists) as the soundtrack of our life... :)

[GAdawgsfan93]

Peter Buck's guitar playin' always sounds like heaven.

[drzordrz13]

I love that dancing girl in a skirt :]

[CircusEnvy23]

2 people like crappy singers

[EnjoyTheSurface]

20 years old and it sounds like its been made yesterday, i remember buying this in A record store in spring 1991, i kinda of miss the record stores, especially the small ones..... :)

[JortBBB]

@EnjoyTheSurface

comments like these make the comment section worth reading on music vids ;)

I get nostalgic about music too, even though I was 4 years old in 1991.

[EnjoyTheSurface]

@JortBBB Thanks! :)

[feckneddy]

@EnjoyTheSurface Grim lyrics THEN you make us all feel OLD ........ LOL

[SolarGranulation]

I swear I could cry for the beauty of this song, for the emotions it revives, for the dreams it breathes life back into.

[liamwill83]

Just on Radio2 now, classic track. Many happy memories...

[slavka1959]

super! bardzo fajny utwór.

[souloneish]

this by far the best song on this album to me, takes me back to 1990 and how happy I felt playing it then lol

[puacino2]

REM rulez!

[bfnputz]

KRS-One and Michael Stipe --- Two guys I'd like to eat some pierogies with.

[WatTyler13]

Female perfection at 0.32, 0.38 etc.. Red gingham dress girl.

[mantra3000]

A New York funky bar in sepia is so 91.

[fccffccf]

Such a lovely video

[Davidmh1971]

this is one of my favourite songs by anybody.........melody is haunting, always gives me goosebumps...so underated...Love it

[autoforthepeople]

I've never seen the video for Near Wild Heaven... like the song it's perfect- atmospheric, nostaligic, charming, funny. Reminds me of the video for the B52's Deadbeat Club. And Mike Mills rules!!!

[WilburyVision]

Awesome. Doncha think an awful lot of people have simply forgotten how good REM were?!

[nicholsjoshua15]

@WilburyVision You mean R.E.M. are they're still one of the best in the world.

[WilburyVision]

@nicholsjoshua15 Yeh, ARE, I stand corrected! I'm really liking the new single that is getting some radio play - think it's called Uberliner.

[nicholsjoshua15]

@WilburyVision U-Berlin is a great song, it reminds me of Fables of the Reconstruction. I also like Mine Smells like Honey. Hey have you ever heard of Poets Of The Fall? If not you should really check them out.

[ashish59sk]

@WilburyVision R.E.M. are still good and will always be...

[krienmineel]

never saw this clip, my fav REM song though!

[nicholsjoshua15]

Mike Mills should release his own solo album, his voice is great.

[greenjello74]

REM=Near wild heaven

[zshi1]

aaaahhh...the layback 90s!

[smiddlecn]

I love everything about this video--the song itself, how it was filmed, the way it captured the personalities of the band members, the use of colour--it's amazing--and it's obvious R.E.M. had some fun while making it.

[Reppy311]

such a massive tune

[Kubajs1891]

rem-gods

[commanderjohnkoenig]

Out of time. Best REM album.

[nicholsjoshua15]

When I listen to this song, or any REM for that mater, I'm near the wild heavens. REM for ever and ever.

[GorgonBull35]

R.E.M. is my fav band hands down... My dad also enjoys the band very much.

[TKL90266]

What kind of hat is Stipe wearing in this vid?

[betwes]

My favorite on the album. Very catchy chorus. Great band!!

[anais46092]

This is one of my favourite songs.

[76flappy]

r.e.m green is a great album first tape i ever bought orange crush was the song that got me in 2 them.

[nicholsjoshua15]

I have to say that I would buy a whole CD of Mike Mills singing. He is really good, could have wnet solo and I would have been a fan.

[ricflairfan5]

@nicholsjoshua15 i would have joined if allowed

[sloopyscruncher]

karl pilkington is a moronic cunt

[clairvoyantbass]

mike mills on lead vocals is really awsome. =) I love r.e.m. ... on HI from Brazil

[76flappy]

great song r.e.m is awsome there music is like magic 2 the ears.

[DarkLadyGoth]

@76flappy since 1991...still one of my fav bands!!!

[CURUPIRA27]

esse som é D+ galera !!!!!!

[BassPlayerSusan]

I really wish that R.E.M. used some of Mike Mills's tunes for their hits. He's one of rock's underrated musicians.

[81britboy]

Amazing song!! Reminds me of my days living in San Francisco in 1992...which is odd because I lived there from 2002-2010... I always used to watch 'Party Of Five' as an early teen, never thought I would ever move there, this song reminded me of 'that' time in my life around age 11/12...wow, memories!! :')

[Bikeramazon25]

what a truly beautiful song.....what a amazing song writer

[whichonespink100]

Excellent song!!!

[gorizianopiratissimo]

An underrated REM classic

[fairandpale]

This song is so beautiful! Makes me feel happy and serene. Mike I love You!

[SaintPhoeniix]

I think it's impossiblr to choose a favourite R.E.M. song. This is in my top 50.

[aliced1995]

i love this song

[GhostRider247]

God i aint herd this in a llllllooooonnnnnnggggggg time , beautiful !! stunning song !!

[nueve08]

In my humble oipnion this song is the closest that REM could ever get to The Beatles:)

[IcedEarthaholic]

@nueve08 Huh, an interesting analogy, it really does have that Beatle-esque vibe going on in a way. Never paid attention to that much, but you hit the nail right on the proverbial head.

[PinkMoonMagic79]

@nueve08 It's got a bit of a George Harrison arpeggiated Rickenbacker thread to it, but rather more Beach Boys style harmonies. Good that you know your stuff and how to compare it mate! :-D

[BassPlayerSusan]

@PinkMoonMagic79 I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed the Beach Boys style harmonies.

[KurtfromLaQuinta]

@PinkMoonMagic79 The Byrds with Beach Boys. Not a bad combo at all.

[BassPlayerSusan]

@KurtfromLaQuinta Y'know, I couldn't quite put my finger on whom this song reminded me of. But you hit the nail on the head.

[IcedEarthaholic]

Wow, for some odd reason I had this song swimming in my head for forever and I'd not heard it in years, had no idea there was a video for it. Well written lyrics, and catchy beat. Love this song, I agree with those who say it's an unrecognized classic.

[Annatheprincezz]

The "papapapapaaa" makes me so happy! :D

[frodo2734]

The harmonies from 2:30 to 2:40 were made in heaven. These guys were and still are amazing.

[vodkabeast68]

this song has got me thru some hard times, from being stiched up {literaly} to being bitched up.

heaven is always just around tke corner,

not near enough.

[125RTY]

This song reminds of my child hood and all the girls i loved but never had the nerve. oh hell who cares right?

[Bookem311]

This is one of my favorite R.E.M. songs as well, and extremely unappreciated.

[bingoace]

I love this song, makes me so happy. Best song on album

[xDoubleZer00x]

one of their happier tunes.... and dont give me that shiney happy people nonsence..lol

[lee3sant]

Proper tune man xx

[sagemajician]

Sadistic: getting off on other people's pain

[bikemechanic100]

Use to use this to set my stereo up everytime I moved it, classic and under-rated

[xingyihsiung]

I love the KRS-One cameo.

[richiebear1969]

My favorite R.E.M song, should have been released as a single. Wow video finally posted on YouTube.

[BenRemFan]

Pretty sure this was released as a single, I have the vinyl. But yes awesome song

[bonesaw921]

In the U.S. it was released in the Out Of Time Album and yea its soo underated and such an amazing song

[sixtyeightspecial]

It was released as a single, at least in the UK anyway. It maybe didn't come out in the US though?

[Turkamel]

One of the best songs ever! Thanks REM!!!

[TristanandIsolt]

This is a way underrecognized REM song. It is so beautiful to listen to.

[IDontUsePicks]

@TristanandIsolt It was the first rem song i ever heard so its one of the ones i always connect to the band :D

[aviadmei]

@TristanandIsolt YOU ARE SO RIGHT! I FEEL JUST THE SAME AS YOU ABOUT THIS CHARMING SONG! :-)

[danbit5]

gotta be one my fav rem songs:)

[78Keeley]

Like this bittersweet tribute to Beach Boys.

[Etatdesiege1979]

Awesome clip. Thank You so much.
