  • The music, the words, and his voice all carry so much emotional resonance when he sings "My mind is racing". So many bands could only dream of capturing that.

  • I'm only 27 and this music came out when I was a young kid. These guys are one of the most underrated groups of all time. I think anyone who considers themselves a lover of all music must rate REM among the elite. A truly unique style and sound that is breathtaking and inspiring every time I listen. Their music sends your mind on a winged journey, soaring over God's beautiful creation. Stipe's passion is undeniable. There will never be another REM; as special as the likes of the Beatles.

  • REM at the top of their game; it was all down hill from here IMO.Such a brilliant performance this one (and the MTV performance of same). The lyrics themselves are just 'ok' IMO, but what makes this so transcendent is Stipe's delivery - bang on and he arguably never did surpass it the subsequent years of his career.

  • One of the best songs ever. Takes me back to being a kid - great stuff. Thank you REM for everything you did.

  • There's not one song on their last few albums that can invoke such strong emotions than this one. But there are plenty before....

  • @vuvaladusi And dou you like the last record? :)

  • Farewell REM. If this song were your only legacy, it would still be worth more than most bands' entire output.

  • I heard they broke up today... this was the first song I thought of. I never even got to see them... we'll miss them.

  • this could be the saddest dusk... and this might well be the saddest and best song by REM, if this song doesn't move you , you surely must be already dead

  • @REMCUREBOY I met him in Chile, and yes, he is ;)

  • Wonder how mando master Buck would sound if he played Celtic. Hey, if Richie Blackmore could play Renaissance music, Peter Buck could probably play Celtic.

  • oasis who?
