  • "Everybody Hurts" from R.E.M.’s best-selling 1992 album, Automatic for the People.
    To learn more, visit www.remhq.com
    We recently became aware of a blogpost entitled “Everybody Still Hurts” (found.ee/KRPny9) highlighting the R.E.M. song “Everybody Hurts” and its groundbreaking video, both released 32 years ago. The song and video remain resonant worldwide and in real people’s lives. The blog author broke down people’s comments on CZcams from expressing pain, sharing memories of a loved one, to notes of encouragement and positivity - but wonders why there isn’t a Suicide Hotline telephone number listed for people who need it right then. We agree. And in that spirit, we offer some resources we’ve been able to track down:

      I'm so sorry for your loss :( It's a great song and I'm glad you and your wife were able to enjoy it together. You seem to be a believer yourself, and I'd offer Revelation 21:4 as a comfort if you haven't looked at it lately: "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." One day, this too, shall pass.
      God bless

    My world was a mess in 1993. Decided to end it all. Was driving fast down a hill with a sharp right over a bridge as the bottom. My plan was just to go straight on. As I was halfway down the hill, the line "No, no, no you're not alone" came on. It hit me like a brick. I slowed own, pulled over, and cried like a child. Michael Stipe, I owe you.

So I was driving U-boat and I was about to drive straight into megaladons mouth, but then this music started playing and by the moment it was singing"no no no you are not alone" I stopped and I wasn't eaten by the dolphins.

    Loved this song since it was first released. Unexpectedly lost my wife of 20 years four months ago. I've broken many bones, had several surgeries, spent close to two years on crutches for various reasons, crashed motor cycles, rolled 4x4's, rough landings while sky diving, had stitches in the triple digits, all kinds of stupid but fun stuff. Never really hurt before. This song is on my short looping playlist now.

    She’s now twelve years old, l will forever be grateful to the donor,s family for sharing their Love One with us and for giving my Granddaughter a new life .To this day I still cry for the donor, whose young life ended unexpectedly, and for the family who blessed my granddaughter . I thank God for every day he gives her. Life before her transplant was very different from now.
    I pray, that “my granddaughter never forgets her donor, whose life came to end in order for her to have a better quality of life, and that the Donors family gave unselfishly for others to have life.
    “When Life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, Show Life you have a thousand reasons to Smile.”
    Peace be with you.

      No.... it becomes a bit less painful but it never goes completely away. On your "dark day's"... go ahead & cry, feel bad for yourself but know - You Are Not Alone!! Alass, Keep your friends close & close out your enemies & cry, cry hard, sob uncontrollably but let it out! Otherwise, you will choke on the pain in your loneliness. Your friends that are close & understand... Talk to them. Let them sit with you & cry with you. But the pain, is your pain & it never goes away. Get a grip on it after you've cried til your tears dry up, after you've sobbed hard & uncontrollably, then you push the pain in an empty place. It will come back on another day but, you can roll with it for awhile & put it back in your "mind closet." You're stronger than you think & you have your friends. Just roll with it for awhile, put it back in the closet in your mind, pick yourself up, dust off & go on about your day. Bcuz, everybody hurts sometimes.

      lets analyse the nonsense /lies many amongst you believe in:

      lie: moon and mars landings, (fact: even masons know they cannot leave)
      lie: news channels share truth (fact: these are for politic propaganda)
      lie: money has a value of its own (fact: it is just a tool of this world, which value has been agreed upon world wide)
      lie: NASA lies (globe and all....) (fact: NASA stands for to deceive) - you havn´t searched - have you?
      lie: the lgbtq++++ propaganda (fact: it is a part of masonry depopulation agenda, 500 000 000 souls, thats their goal.)
      lie: Evolution and the dinosaurs. (fact: mankind is not hybrid kind)
      to keep stating that there was an evolution, then we ain´t humans, we aint then mankind, we are then hybrids.
      Lie: holidays (xmas, halloween, new year eve and so on) (fact: PAGAN HOLIDAYS, to praise BAAL, the god of this world)

    Don't let yourself go
    'Cause everybody cries
    Everybody hurts sometimes
    Sometimes everything is wrong
    Now it's time to sing along
    When your day is night alone (hold on, hold on)
    If you feel like letting go (hold on)
    If you think you've had too much
    Of this life, well hang on

    Take comfort in your friends
    Everybody hurts

    Don't throw your hand
    If you feel like you're alone

      I had the pleaser of meeting a man called Peter Cotter in about 2000 who was a Vietnam Veteran and he told us a story of how he wrote poems to help him deal with his burdens from the war,and how a guy who’s name I can’t remember came to the sergeants mess ( Army accomodation) and asked if anyone had any poems as he would like to see them, and so Peter went to his room to get his poems, the guy said I’ll give you x amount of dollars (could have been $50-$100) for these poems. Some time later on he was driving home in his car when “Everybody hurts” came on and he said to his wife I know that song. So when he got home he searched for his old poems and found his poem that is what led to this song , and as soon as I heard Peters story of the poem he wrote I immediately understood why I used to get sad whenever I heard this song, and to this day and into the future I will always remember Peter Cotter not only for the beautiful person I met but for giving me the understanding of this song and it’s words, I no longer feel sad when I here this song but I rejoice in meeting a man who’s written word helped me understand things so much better. To Peter Cotter all I can say is thankyou sir and I will never forget you - you helped to change my life for the better.

But there are so many left here who love me and just refuse to let me. I can't give up because of them. Life can just be a bitch. But, that is life. Death is a part of life. I just hold on to the belief that I will see them again one day! Who ever is going through this, please try to hold on for the ones who are left! Because, if you don't, they will feel like you do now. Good luck!

      Kinda like old school Jon Bon Jovi. One of the greatest rock albums of all time; Blaze of Glory. You never hear any of the songs on that album played anywhere. Nobody ever even acknowledges it's existence. Yet, I played the hell out of that tape when I was a kid in the 90s. Just like I did with REM.

He didn't want anyone being sad for him when everybody hurts eventually and some survive and some fly free of the hurt. I still remember people asking me why I picked that song since it wasn't typical funeral songs. I just said I didn't pick it. It was what Jason wanted so it was for him and a testament to the person he was. 💞

    It's 2024 and for me this is the best song ever written and the best music video ever made.There can be no one who can't relate to it. When he starts to sing hold on with everyone leaving their vehicles it has me in tears every single time. It's more than a song, more than a video.

    This song tells you that when you meet people who are not a ray of sunshine, do not judge. You don't know what shit they are going through.

    6 years with multiple sclerosis and some big roller coaster life with bad progression, A lot of dark days and treatments. Every time I feel down I listen to this song at the same time as I reading the comments and it always lights me up as the same time while i am crying my tears out, a weird feeling that feels very good.
    It’s amazing how unknown people can come along and it feels like i know all of u. I love u all from the bottom of my heart, stay strong❤️

    Probably the most empathetic song ever. It’s sums up sadness and depression perfectly, yet at the same gives so much hope.

    My father died 3 days ago from a sudden heart attack. Rem was his favourite band. My mother asked me to play him some music so he can hear from heaven. I hope you are listening and that you are proud of me. I will love you forever.
