REM were ahead of their time musically and lyrically in the context of English-language popular music of the tail end of the 20th century. Leonardo da Vinci was one of maybe a handful of people in human history whose life and work continue to inspire and provoke centuries after his passing. He's timeless.

I have to admit, the Internet and sites like CZcams make it much easier to discover new music than it was back in the day.

    When I listen to this song it makes me think of my childhood. My parents had money and professional jobs, so everyone thought that I had it made, but really, they were both emotionally abusive. They tore me down and told me that I would never amount to anything because of my disability. My Mom was very obsessed with society's standards of beauty and told me once (when I hit puberty) that if I gained anymore weight she would wire my jaw shut. My father told me not to go to university because he felt my IQ was too low (I had the top mark in my psychology in University.) I used to think I was a failure in every aspect of my life and and then I realized the only reason I fail at a task is because I give up. I struggle daily with the voices that still haunt me but I tell myself "It's not my fault so let it go." I now realize my parents were the ones who had the problem.

    I remember growing up listening to REM. I liked their songs. But nothing touched me the way that "Monster" did. The first time I saw the video for "Bang and Blame," it floored me. They had my complete attention. It was so emotionally complex. It tapped into feelings that I didn't know how to express, and maybe still don't. It's really hard to admit that I always worry that I'll end up being one of my parents- I'll either be the banger or the blamer. That fear is kind of crippling. I don't feel like I can have any serious relationships because it's too risky. This song (and the amazing video) felt like the first and only time anyone understood that feeling. It's still a personal favorite.

      I also totally feel that R.E.M. hold something very deep, universal and almost mystical...poetry and emotions and feelings of the soul that you cannot express with words...only with the music, the amazing photography and art of the videos and the poetry of Michael...when I was studying American Studies in Budapest, and Halloween was coming up, and the turning of yellow and red of the leaves, my heart and mind exapnding with my studies and the poetry I was reading and writing at the time, the critical thinking our professors challenged us to, the feeling of the whole world and life ahead of me, and those nights, the crisp cool of the air, and then Christmas, when one year I think 1995 I asked for the Reveal album...sometimes, when I had no words to describe it, just these feelings and emotions of something bigger, something poetic and unexplainable, of love, lust and magic...I would say to myself: I've got that Michael Stipe feeling again. 😊 I still can't really explain the wealth of feelings and emotions this means to me, and a lot of us, something to do with the U.S., something with all of humanity, spirituality, and art. I love you, R.E.M! ❤👍🙏😊🌟❤

So you can move on, but you don't have to carry that into any relationship. Instead, if you see it happening address it with the person you're in a relationship with, and pray, pray pray to get over it, because, despite what all these agnostics believe (or profess they "don't believe") prayer does work. It got me over my dad's PTSD that I had somehow allowed to inhabit part of me... Don't ever give up.

      I think it was obvious they were romantically involved despite stipe always said he was "my little brother" I mean almost all the songs he wrote about him was love songs. And the fact that stipe visit river in Utah and stay with him for few days to accompany riv shooting his movie dark blood despite stipe busy schedule to prepare new album said enough. Lately stipe said he spent 5 years grieving him. And 'at my most beautiful' the only love song stipe ever wrote about river too, the clue was all over the lyrics. The video even staring riv's sister Rain phoenix.

Crush with eyeliner, Bang and Blame, Tongue, Let me in (Kurt Cobain tribute), I don't sleep i dream, Strange currencies (Michael Hutchence tribute), Star 69, I took you name live (r.e.m. live video), Circus envy ( live at Olimpia video) are some best songs in R.e.m. catalogue! Five stars!

    Mike, Michael and the guys deserve every Fing penny they have, they grinded it out in the early days. I know personally. The Monster record was kinda Pete”s return to glory. His electric guitar is splashed all over the record... the reverb on Crushed by Eyeliner is fantastic

    Monster is such a great album. I'm glad it's getting more love over the years because when it came out people were very critical of it. My favorite r.e.m. albums are automatic for the people, monster, and adventures in hi-fi. They took risks on those album without losing their voice. When my band opened a R.e.m. tribute show we had to choose from a list of songs (the headline got first pick) and this song wasn't taken. Hell it wasn't even on the list! So we opened the show with this song and the crowd LOVED it!

    I have a lot of REM songs on my playlist , I have all sorts of songs from the past 50 years or so. I am 46 years old. So one day out of the blue my niece and one of her friends asked me if I could take them to Houston Tx, which is roughly a 6 hour drive from where I live, one thing I was not going to do was listen to my niece's music for six hours. When this song came on I noticed that my niece had taken her earbuds out and was listening to the song, when it went off she asked who was singing, and she asked me to play it again. Along with a few Depeche Mode songs, and some Metallica and Guns n Roses songs as well. My niece had no idea who any of the people were singing the songs. Now she loves em. It's a shame that the only time young people pay much attention to older music unlessn they hear it on a Tik Tok. But I was really happy that my niece and her friend enjoyed most 😂 of my music.

    It's not my thing, so let it go
    If you could see yourself now, baby
    The tables have turned, the whole world hinges on your swings
    Your secret life of indiscreet discretions
    I'd turn the screw and leave the screen
    Don't point your finger
    You know that's not my thing
    You came to bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
    To blame, blame, blame
    Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
    It's not my thing, so let it go now
    You've got a little worry
    I know it all too well
    I've got your number
    But so does every kiss and tell
    Who dares to cross your threshold
    Happens on you way
    Stop laying blame
    You know that's not my thing
    You know that's not my thing
    You came to bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
    Then blame, blame, blame
    Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
    It's not my thing so let it go, you
    Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
    Then blame, blame, blame
    Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
    It's not my thing so let it go
    You kiss on me
    Tug on me
    Rub on me
    Jump on me
    You bang on me
    Beat on me
    Hit on me
    Let go on me
