My grandma from Georgia used to say “you kids gonna make me lose my religion” whenever she was shit full of whatever we were doing. Good times.
That makes sense and stands to reason, as the band was formed and got their start playing around the college bar circuit at the University of Georgia in Athens - I'm from GA too, btw (a small southern town called Jesup)...
"Losing my religion" is also a famous Southern saying that means "losing one's mind" (as in becoming annoyed, agitated, and angry). This song is a classic from the early 1990s.
Btw, I love both of your tee-shirts.
Yep and when you hear someone's mom or grandma say it to their child or grandchild you know they mean business
REM is from Athens, Georgia so yes the "Southern saying" makes absolute sense.
I did not know that.
My mom use to tell me all the time "I was gonna make her lose her religion" and that was the sign to go to my dad's for awhile lol, I'm from Louisiana it is definitely a southern thing lol
Fun fact: The instrumental melody of this song originated from when the band's guitarist was trying to learn how to play the mandolin. He would record himself playing while learning, and play it back to listen for his mistakes/flaws. While listening back, he heard this melody and it ended up becoming iconic..
Adding to that, these days he's the guitarist for The Decemberists and is still creating beautiful music like this.
REM is an incredible band!
You know how many times I've heard a southern mama say "boy, you're gonna make me lose my religion on you!"? 😂 That's when you knew a whoopin' was coming your way.
Have you heard their other hit yet? Everybody Hurts. Beautiful song
Great song and great video to go with it.
Everybody Hurts is a great song. But "other hit" makes it sound like they didnt have more hits :P
@@pleutron It's the next major song people are most familiar with who aren't necessarily "into" the band. I did a quick test on YT by checking the views on some songs for instance and the results were NOT surprising to me. Nightswimming - about 8M. Man on the Moon (a little more well known) - 25M. Everybody Hurts - 95M. I KNEW that song would be much more well known/viewed than the other two I checked. KNEW it. It even has over 3x as many views as It's the End of the World as We Know It
@Ron Johnson End of the World as We Know It ... love that one :) And also pretty much the whole Monster album too.
Jai, your going to connect with most of there popular songs.
My favorite R.E.M. song reviewed by my favorite reaction couple....that's what I'm talking about
"Everybody Hurts"
MUST BE OFFICAL VIDEO!!
It's one of my favorite videos -
hugely powerful.
Yes please 🙏Have the tissues ready.
@@scarletjohnston741 Right? As of the song isn't powerful enough, reading all the things people are thinking about as they go through the video kills me. Beautiful song.
"Don't Give Up" by Peter Gabriel featuring Kate Bush is a similar song themed song & hits me the same way!
@@jennhurl another excellent song!
If you like REM then try. Everybody Hurts
Oh yes!!!! That is an awesome song!! I would love to see / hear Half and Jai react to this song. This song hits you in the feels.
Most definitely
That's a great one
Let’s keep it upbeat for a while (??)
If you ever felt like giving up, that song will destroy you. It’s so relatable for anyone suffering or have suffered
Awesome song! Deep... seems to hit everyone. 😁💓 Losing my religion is a southern expression meaning losing your cool... frustrated, desperate. Excellent set of shirts! ❣️
R E M is from Athens Ga. Losing my religion is a southern expression meaning to lose one's temper.
Never suppress your laugh Jai, serious moment or not your laugh is like a hit of joy to the soul and we need more of it💜
Im old enough for this to be one of my favorites from high school ❤
According to Michael Stipe, the song is about an unrequited love.
R.E.M. is a hugely important group to '80's alternative pop music. I'm so glad you're reacting to them!!!! I love you Half & Jai! Great choice! Be sure to do "Everybody Hurts" Official Video. Prepare yourself first.
Love watching the two of you interact with each other and the fact that you aren't afraid to expose yourselves to new music. Having an open mind about anything is what helps us grow as individuals. Love it.
Sadly this was the song on radio when funeral ended for my bf after his suicide.I lost my religion to this day
Proud to say I can Karaoke to this song like few others can!
Edit to add: Michael Stipe was inspired by the dancing of Sinead O'Connor in Emperors New Clothes and the lead singer of Talking Heads. And he took the recording of it VERY seriously. He got so hot in the recording studio that he was basically naked when he recorded it.
This just made me flash back to that time I first sang karaoke to this song at a party when I was like 15 or something. Oh jeez...
@@etc7070 I was given the nick name "Buzz Kill" by my friends because the songs I always selected killed the party vibe lol. But sometimes they led to deep conversations (with drunk people) 😆
This was my introduction to R.E.M. Love their music, try Everybody Hurts next, that's another great song.
🎶 if the person I’m reaching out for is aware of me, if they even know that I exist 🎶 love song for sure one of my favourites of all time. Hi Jai & Half hope y’all having a great day 👍❤️👍🇨🇦 quote from Micheal Stipe the song is about obsession and unrequited love 💕
I haven't heard them in so long. I love how Michael Stipes gets into it when he sings.
Like the person said below, Everybody Hurts is awesome. It's my favorite song by them.
Love REM. Great band with deep meaning to their songs
Growing up in North Carolina I would hear this phrase now and then - usually by older people. "Losing my religion of..." could also mean lose my respect or fear of something. An example: Neighbor has a mean dog. You make friends with the dog. You've lost your religion of that dog.
He wasn't an angel. He was icarus. He was given wings by his father that was formed by wings and wax and he flew to close to the sun which melted the wax and made him crash back to earth. His father had warned him no to get too close to the sun.
R.E.M. was on the radio a lot in the early 90's. It's not really grunge but it reminds me of that era.
I also loved "The One I Love," "Texarkana" "Shiny Happy People" and "It's the End of the World as we know it"
You guys are the best ! You make me smile. “Good vibes” hilarious... REM. Brings me way back to simpler times
Awesome reaction!!! Y'all are my favorite couple reactors. I tried to send yall something to the PO Box listed but I got a notice saying it was undeliverable and they refunded my money. I would love to try to send it again. I just need to confirm the address 😉💞🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶💞
Ideology is a dangerous thing, especially when it is shattered. Great song! It's when you find your way, that blessings happen
This came out my senior year of high school and was on constant rotation on the radio stations and MTV. It strangely feels like it were yesterday, not 30 years ago.
The energy between you two is that of a gritty couple that just met or is in the beginnings of the relationship 🤗it’s so sweet to watch. I love it.
Take care of each other.
It's good to see the #gvt hope y'all and everybody else having a great day enjoying this great song by r.e.m🔥🎶🔥
Okay y'all!!!! You really gotta check out, Joan Jett and the blackhearts!!!! That girl started out at 15 with the Runaways..... after 2 years they broke up.... and she's been on her own ever since!!! Still performing. I love rock and roll, is one of her first big solo hits!!! ❣️❣️👍... love y'all!!
The mark of a truly great song is someone being able to sing part of it after hearing it just once!! One of my favorite bands, so glad you loved the song! This album came out almost 10 years into their career, their musical catalog is loooong! A few suggestions:
It's The End Of The World As We Know It
Fall On Me
Nightswimming (seriously, one of the most-loved songs by REM, in my opinion!)
Everybody Hurts
Love to one of my favorite couples ever!!
Love R.E.M. and saw them in concert a lot. Met them and they were all so sweet to me. Yes Losing My Religion is a Southern term for losing your cool. This song is great! I would love to see y'all watch and react to Tongue!!!!by R.E.M. It would crack me up for sure! would love to hear what you both think it means hahaha
Ah... R E M
(Rapid Eye Movement)
Great Times for sure.
Y'all just keep on amazing your family with all these memories and feels.
👆🏻❤️🤘🏻Respect, love and Good Vibes! 🥰
My Portuguese "Vovi" (Means grandma, kind of like "Maw-Maw") used to say she would hang it (her religion) "on a nail" if she had to go on and do some crazy shit for her people (Meaning her "family")
Let me just say as a 52 yr old woman it makes my heart smile to see people smoking right out in the open honestly I never thought we would get here!😀 love your videos!!! Keep it up!
Nas - if I ruled the world, I gave you the power and/or undying love !!!! You guys rock!!!
The music of my childhood! It brings back so many memories hearing all of these older songs when you do them. ✌️❤️
I ABSOLUTELY love this song, the video, the lyrics. I’ve never looked into what it means.
Going by the video alone, an angel falls from heaven. The people on the ground laugh and take advantage of him. To the point of trying to imitate the light from heaven and the wings of the angel. All the while, the angel is suffering. The angel dies, but they managed to make their fake wings at his expense.
That’s just the video, not the lyrics, and also just my interpretation.
To lose ones religion is an old southern saying. To lose your faith in a person or relationship or faith. It can be interpreted in different ways. Michael Stipe has asserted that it’s a break up song. I can see that in the lyrics.
@@leisastalnaker3790 right. I was analyzing the video, not the song. I did make it seem like I wasn’t aware what the phrase meant, though. Really I was just explaining I was talking about the video imagery as opposed to the song lyrics.
Great reaction. I love this song. I think you guys will really love REM it’s the end of the world as we know it. Sidenote have the lyrics handy. Love your channel. You’re wonderful couple.😀👍❤️✌️🌼
Chronic town album! 1st REM album and I still have it! Gardening at night my very very favorite song of REM! !!!
I love this song, and it's lyrics are pretty deep, but his dancing always cracks me up. He looks like he swatting away a swarm of bees..😂
Everybody Hurts is my favorite R.E.M. song.
My man's beard game is on point
This was the first song my now 17 yr old son knew word for word when he was 4 years old he loved it lol
Hey Ya'll,
Love you two. With the losing my religion review, I believe he was trying to explain his struggles with society not knowing of him being gay. I have a feeling that is where he is taking the song. Big Time, Prime Time, Millions of fans...But will the mass like us less, or dislike us because.....
One of many famous sayings in the South…losing my mind, losing my religion, come to Jesus meeting, on my last nerve…
Everyone should hear: Everybody Hurts.
I do love me some R.E.M. Great stuff, guys! And, the Cincinnati Reds' unofficial theme this year is "Good Vibes!" I'm thinking you might have some MLB fans. Or, it could be a coincident. Either way, I love you guys. Every time I hear the announcer on TV say "Good Vibes" when Castellanos steps up to the plate, I think of you two.
You guys should check out Leo Moracchioli of Frog Leap Studios. He does metal covers of great songs like Adeles"Hello" , Totos "Africa" and Tupacs "California Love".
Half always analyzing & Jai just grooving, perfect combination
Country Feedback is the best REM song
AMY WINEHOUSE- You know I’m no good ACOUSTIC
Dang, I love this channel! Good vibes! Y'all are chemistry personified.
Thumbs up from me.. Here's a few more songs by REM yall might enjoy
What's the frequency Kenneth
Fall on me
Orange crush
To the one I love
The list is long...
Losing my religion is an old southern term for losing my temper. Also check out their song everybody hurts.
Saw them live 2 times and still was lucky enough to see J Cole live in VA! I’d say my life is content
Keep it together Half. This one will touch your soul
Good Vibes, Much Love...Just Love R.E.M. Amazing sound, great music...So many losin our minds with the insanity in the world these days. Great reaction guys, Peace
loved this reaction guys. more REM :)
One of my all time fave songs, so happy that you picked this to react to!
My momma used to say this when she was mad at us kids when I was young., or if she mad at someone. And don’t get me started on what bless your heart means 😂
You must be from the south 😉
@@scarletjohnston741 Momma from Tennessee, and my Pops from South Carolina 😊
@@BenjoReacts I'm from TN too. I notice you spell momma like I do (not mama) 😃
I’m from the south and what I was told was that “Losing my Religion” was equivalent to being at your wits end.. unable to deal with the problems that you are facing.. frustration.. unable to change your situation
Madonna has a song called "Like A Prayer" This song here was very popular and overplayed in it's day.
Thanks for doing this one guys!
This song will make you looses your religion. So good.
10Years did an amazing cover to this track...👊👍😎
Missed you guys. Glad to see you
Nice take on a Classic. Watched mult reactions to this song (cuz it is so good) but was really interested to see y'alls take. Was pretty sure you would both enjoy 😉

I want a reaction to a song that makes Half grab Jai and dance thru it....
REM- everybody hurts, amazing.
If you want more rocky songs from them, they have a really good and underrated album called M.O.N.S.T.E.R
Half, you’re looking handsome (according to my wife anyway 😂), Jai is looking as beautiful as always.. you’re a lucky man!.. God Bless you guys!
LOVE this song! I play it at gigs all the time. Glad you guys liked it too! :) You two should also check out "Imitation of Life" by R.E.M, it has a really cool video. \m/

Losing my religion is a Southern saying meaning getting angry and/or a crisis where one is losing one's cool.
Y'all look Great! Much love from Cali
Love, love, love the channel guys! Just subscribed like 10 minutes ago. I recently fell into the Half and Jai rabbit hole. I'd love see you react to more classic rock like the Eagles.
u should peep R.E.M Shiny Happy People. youll be like what... in the...efffff is going on here lmao
Great reaction as always. I'm dying to see what you think of Alice in Chains! The song "Rooster" would be a great place to start, or "Would?". Love you two!
R.E.M is freakin awesome!! Try The band LIVE-Lightning Crashes it won’t disappoint.
Yes!!!!!
Can we react to Low-key ghost of Grenfell, the tower was destroyed in minutes, flammable cladding was used to cut the corners, add many lives were lost most were from a diverse community and no one has been charged with manslaughter. Lowkey was there and wrote a powerful that no one in America has heard the story of the lives lost in the tower, if you could just watch this powerful song, it will move you. Thank you ♥️
for some timeless tearjerker check out Johnny Cash's(Nine Inch Nails'") "Hurt or "She's leaving home" or "Eleanor Rigby" by the Beatles! Luv from Berlin
Love you guys. Changed my mind. JAMES BLUNT - MONSTERS. i literally keep repeat crying. Hits hard:(
Beautiful couple , live long guys
Great gig in the sky. Original Pink Floyd.
Thank me afterwards, best regards, Leo The Netherlands.
I wish I could give this more than 1 👍. They need some headphones for that one. And a dark smokey room...
