I could just listen to the instruments alone and play it on a loop,
But with stipes voice and lyrics I will never get bored of this song for the rest of my life
In college I had a literature professor who was a huge R.E.M. fan, and by the end so was I. We spent time analyzing all their songs, and Michael's unique song writing. He's more of a poet then a rock star.
Cool! I had a couple of high school teachers like that. One took a group of us on an unauthorized trip to New York City's Thai section in the 80's . She played Violent Femmes albums through the trip and I became a fan. An English teacher used music lyrics to songs like "Bad Moon Rising" to teach poetry. That was SO much better than the depressed teachers who chose "Catcher in the Rye" "New York Stories" and "Return of the Native," which were just plain awful.
I agree 100% 😍👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️
I feel like if you listen to this band people regard you as smarter than you really are📚
But in essence all lyrics of all musical genres are poetry , the quality , skill or "genius" therein is always debatable but is still poetry .
rockstar and one of the most brilliant poets of all time, in my opinion. this song is a beautiful example of his profound creativity.
This specific song gives me chills every time...
Big fan since their start. Miss them
I hear this song and it takes me back to the 1990's and a happier time. :)
(26 years later.. I wish I could have told my younger self to be happy and lay off the cake a bit!!!)
Thats life we live and learn. We grow as live in our life. Best of luck on that road, and another 26 + year to grow 😊
I love this song it’s second rem’s song most listened for me after lotus
Tambien es una de mis favoritas.
Oh sweetie, what about Driver 8, Boy in the well, Diminished, Disappear, chorus and the ring? 🤔🤗
@@rmr2471 drive is the best for me
This is definitely one of the best songs from this part of their career.
Bring back some memories
Hello greetings to this group that makes us happy today and always
I had this single on CD. I bought it in Tulsa at a record store I stopped into when I was visiting once. I must have listened to Patti Smith on here a thousand times. Still can't get enough. Like a dream I'm living over and over again. For three minutes at a time.
Ono of my favorite´s songs
R.E.M Forever
When I saw this comment I almost thought it was my username.
This was one of the few tracks I’d listen to when my grandpa passed on. It just felt right
Αυτά τα τραγούδια μας ταξιδεύουν πίσω στα ωραία χρόνια. Θυμάμαι ακόμη από που αγόρασα αυτό το cd, με τον ωραίο φοιτητικό ενθουσιασμό μου 25 χρόνια πριν...
No normalne że to najlepszy zespół rockowy na świecie . Każdą płytę wydaje , w , innym , charakterze . Napewno jeszcze , coś , fajnie. Wydadzą . Polska się kłania . Pozdrawiam do Athens .
Stipe= Music u can listen 2.. 45 yr/tenure in rock... timeless...
aNOTHER INCREDIBLE AND BEAUTIFUL r.e.m. SONG...
Great track from a sadly underrated album full of gems like this.
Magic song!
Exactly. Does sound particularly great, but there's something very special with it.
My favorite of this amazing band ❤ Michael & Patti is just magic 🥰
Agree!
Where E-Bow isn’t one of my go to songs, I feel like when I do I always hear another layer.
my heart longs for him yet this soothes it...temporarily...
Goosebumps every time
Yes after 3 seconds ❤
This song is a masterpiece I use to listen in a loop along with Country feedbck, Strange currencies, Half a world away, Night swiming and At my most beautiful creating a very special atmosphere.
Beautiful best voice in the world.
já capinei um lote ouvindo esse album , coisa linda de deus.
Minha favorita ❤️🇧🇷

Che brividi ...ancora e ancora e ancora
Excelent.Thank you!
Nice 😊.
This is a great song and i never noticed it till it was released on The best of REM CD in the 2000's.
I sat n i wondered
What can i do?
What can it be
I believed in you
Please believe in me
I was trying too hard
Forever believing
But
I just never
I just never fit in
I felt the desires
I know my needs
Too much fighting for nothing
Feeling my emotions start to bleed
Bleed
I tried
I was trying too hard
Forever believing
But
I just never
I just never fit in
Um som top de se ouvir R>E>M um dos melhores do Rock

I SAID YOUR NAME ❤❤❤
La. Mejor. Música. Quisiera. Qe. Siempre. Lo. Canten.
With patti for river phoenix ❤
I thought I was falling
Then you caught my decline
You heard me calling
I could feel safe again
I felt the love Inside
I was welcomed back in the room
I'll never fall
I'll never fall
Not with you by my side
Not with you by my side
I held on for dear life
I cried many nights away
I cried away the darkened memories
But now I know
Know I know
I won't fall
I
Can't
Fall
I feel peace in my mind
I feel peace in my heart
I feel strengthened inside
Yes I can't
I can't
Fall
Thank you !
THIS FAME THING I DON'T GET IT 😮
i’ll take you over, take me there

Good luck finding a better song than this
Why the chorus female voice sounds like debbie harry ❓
It's Patti Smith
@@jessicafrasier2805 no. It's Joan Jett
@@pornsakpongthong1092 it’s definitely Patti Smith. She was one of Michael Stipe’s influences.
@@jessicafrasier2805it’s Amelia Earheart!
Is Taylor Swift as good as R.E.M.?
“E-Bow* the Letter” (1996) was allegedly inspired by a letter Michael Stipe wrote, but never sent to his troubled friend River Phoenix. The actor died of drug-induced heart failure in 1993. He was only 23 years old.
The ever so lauded singer-songwriter-poet-painter-author PATTI SMITH (Patricia Lee Smith) sang backing vocals on this, a blissfully life-changing experience for Peter Buck‼️
Buck recalled : “I first saw Patti Smith perform in 1976, and I remember thinking that I would gladly give 10 years off my life to be the bass player for her group. I know Michael [Stipe] was equally as inspired by Patti, and when he came up with a Ronettes-style vocal chorus, it was obvious who we had to call. It was such an incredible experience watching Patti sing this song - a song we wrote❕I had all the cliché reactions; chills ran up and down my spine, the hair stood up on the back of my neck, etc. My life did not flash before my eyes, but it was a close thing.”
The music video, helmed by Jem Alan Cohen, shows R.E.M. in Los Angeles, while Patti Smith is filmed on location in Prague, Czech Republic. 🩷💫💙
* An E-Bow is an electronic device used to play the electric guitar, creating an electromagnetic field to manipulate the strings (instead of fingers or a pick).
