REM - Belong

Lyrics:

Her world collapsed early Sunday morning
She got up from the kitchen table
Folded the newspaper and silenced the radio
Those creatures jumped the barricades
And have headed for the sea, sea

Those creatures jumped the barricades
And have headed for the sea
She began to breathe
To breathe at the thought of such freedom
Stood and whispered to her child: belong
She held the child and whispered
With calm, calm: belong

Stood and whispered to her child; belong
She held the child and whispered
With calm, calm: belong

These barricades can only hold for so long
Her world collapsed early Sunday morning
She took the child held tight
Opened the window
A breath, this song, how long
And knew, knew: belong

  • I bought this album 2 days after my mother died when I was 15 in 1991. It is one of my go-to albums. I started listening to it again after the death of my grandfather & again when my brother died. It gives me a sense of calm, and of peace within melancholy, I can float on the waves of lyrics & melody and feel like things will get better when I need to feel that way. It's like musical prozac. Definitely one of the best albums ever made. And I love it when things are going great just as much.

  • Oh my god....I had almost forgotten how beautiful, fantastic and addicting this song is....Epic and timeless!

  • This song brings a tear to my eye, it's been so long since I felt like I belonged.

  • lexaj23; thanks for sharing. i m 43 n been listening to rem since 17 yrs old. as you and so many others i have found much solace in their music. this track is so beautifully sad yet comforting. i was blessed by your recollections.

  • Sweet

  • This is in my top 5 albums of the 20th century,just magnificent,might even dare to say it's in my top 3...fantastic song,quite brilliant album.Timeless in my opinion,a modern classic.Thanks guys for the memories!!!!

  • one of their best

  • @themooddisorders I love Automatic For The People for similar reasons, but relating to entirely different experiences. It's hard to put single definitive reason to love these albums into words, but the cumulative effect of the individual tracks of both albums, with such differing sounds from song to song, is that they leave me feeling better than before I heard them.
