  • "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 UA-cam 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:

Every day feels like I’m living the same nightmare and I wish I could just fall asleep and never wake up. They say that everything in life is temporary and that’s where I keep finding the strength to hang on. I hope things get better for you. ❤

    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.

      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.

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.

      This is true. It's also true that there has always been shitty pop music. Though, pop music is worse than it used to be. I do miss walking into a store or something and liking the the top 40 stuff playing. Pop is too homogenous now.

    I'm 60 yrs. old, I came across this song the night my granddaughter received a heart transplant. My granddaughter was born with congenital heart syndrome, which meant breathing was always a problem. She celebrated her 1st anniversary with her new Heart on May 28,2019.
    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.

We planned on living along life after we were retired. We use to talk growing old together. I still miss him and love him so much but I also thank God that he didn't endure the pain very long. He is in my heart and will stay there until I join him. This song says it all. 😢

    My precious nephew was dying of brain cancer 7 years ago. It was unbearable for my sister so I tried to help with what I could and asked him what he wanted. This was first song he picked. 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. 💞

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.

      Every time they put out a "greatest hits" album, I scan the track listing and think "Wow, they really screwed this up with the song choices, they missed so many." It's then I remember that REM is one of those bands where you really, really need to hear ALL the albums, front to back.

    One night at the beginning of this year, my four-year-old daughter and I were sitting in the living room, when she asked me, “Daddy do men cry?” I said, “Yes, they do.” Then she said, “But I have never seen you cry.”
    This same year, I lost her because of a drunk Driver. A reckless man entered our neighborhood by mistake, where my daughter was playing, and this man later admitted that he took a wrong turn, and that’s all it took. One wrong turn ended my only daughter’s life. This is the same daughter, whom I did not acknowledge for the first three years of her life. I denied her. I had to go to a paternity court to confirm that she is really my biological daughter. I can't stop thinking about how I’ve missed out on so many amazing and fun things. I wasn't there when she said her first words or when she took her first steps. I didn't have much time to spend with her. Only one year was all the time I had with her. I don’t deny that this is all my fault, I bet her mother regrets taking me to court to prove that she is indeed my daughter. If she had not done this, our daughter would’ve never been in that neighborhood to begin with, and would still be alive to this day.
    I wish she could see me now so that she could be sure that I was really telling the truth when I said that yes, men do cry.
