This song is a stunning masterpiece. It's the proof that show us that REM made brilliant songs also in their third decade. I've been high sounds like an a immediate classic, Thanks Heidi, this version is beatiful.
Absolutely incredible voice. This stripped down version really sounds great. I regret that I only saw REM on the Green Tour. They did so much after that.
Los verdaderos admiradores de R.E.M. aman esta canción (u otra del Reveal). Sin discusión. Lo digo por que (con todo respeto) ya me cansé de esas personas que dicen amarlos pero que siempre terminan criticándolos y diciendo que sus mejores años son de I.R.S. (es decir están desechando 10 álbumes de ellos y ¿ se supone que crea que les gusta la banda?) Si me preguntan mi opinión sobre eso, considero que sus mejores años fueron los que tuvieron desde su comienzo hasta el final de su carrera.
Very true, Prince. But Michael was more a novelist, a storyteller, writing music lyrics than anyone I can think of aside from Bob Dylan. They made great melodic music but those stories were often so strange, informative, always intelligent and they stay with me. Also I spent my teenage years in the American south so I identify with REM in that way. You have your reasons for thinking they're the best and I'll just say that you have excellent taste in music.
I really don't know what to say and very, very rarely comment. I'm truly touched...perhaps even life changing. Thank you heidigretel for posting but most importantly Michael, Mike, Peter, and Bill for essentially writing the stories of our lives...It's all encompassing. Much love & gratitude.
Michael's ultimate delivery of this is on the Live at Olympia album. Check it out and if you're not deeply moved, check your pulse. Thanks for posting, heidigretel
An absolutely stunning performance of this most beautiful song. I go back to Beatles-era music and honestly there has never been a group, including The Beatles, whose music has meant anything even close to what REM's has meant to me. Can their record company please include this performance on any future retrospective cd?? The Reveal version is cluttered with needless electronica
Reveal is a batch of great songs that have suffered from questionable decisions regarding the production quality and final mix. Shame, too. Some of the most interesting songs from their 3rd act.
before my eyes, I watch you as you sing... are you hypnotized, mystified, electrified... a hypnotic fade, I feel your breath, I feel your breath with the beauty and the butterflies. (I give my THANKS.)😘
This proves you cannot do one album of REM’s greatest hits without including around maybe 40 (at least) of their songs. All of them are awesome. Shitty writing, sorry, im tired right now, but you get the point . rem is awesome
Have you seen? Have not will travel Have I missed the big reveal? Do my eyes Do my eyes seem empty? I've forgotten how this feels I've been high I've climbed so high The light, sometimes it washes over me Have you been? Have done will travel I fell down on me knees Was I wrong? I don't know, don't answer I just needed to believe I've been high I've climbed so high The light, sometimes it washes over me So I dive into a pool So cool and deep that if I sink I sink And when I swim I fly, so high What I want All I really wanted Just to live my life on high And I know I know you want the same I can see it in your eyes I've been high I've climbed so high The light, sometimes it washes over me Washes over me I close my eyes So I can see Make my make believe, believe in me
3:07 That smile makes my day... Very beautiful version, too bad the studio version has weird and out of place electronic dubs. Only duet Keyboard/voice would be wonderful ! Thank you for sharing.
heard this for the first time on the r.e.m. facebook page today.... not sure how this song got past me...this version is awesome....the album version is too much "stuff"...
Could this be any better? Christ I love this band. Loyalty from the 80’s too this day. Absolutely love REM….
Greatest american band in history. For me.
For me to!
Agreed!
agreed!!
One of my favourites ❤
My favorite band since 1985
Reveal is simply a masterpiece
Michael's voice takes me far far away from this terrible world. Brings me to tears. I love rem
i'm with you
Such a cool compliment !
Best comment I've seen on you tube
This is a fantastic song. One of their best!
Underrated song. This is actually a great version.
One of my favourite REM songs. Michael musical expression is matched by none. Love this performance.
This song is a stunning masterpiece. It's the proof that show us that REM made brilliant songs also in their third decade. I've been high sounds like an a immediate classic, Thanks Heidi, this version is beatiful.
toca meu coração profundamente
Greatest band in my lifetime !
A magical song off a cruelly underrated album.
Massively underrated song. Stipe vocals on form!!
I miss you REM...
me too
Discovering REM songs like a gold digger that's my UA-cam way, always high!
It's so beautiful I can hardly contain it.
Absolutely incredible voice. This stripped down version really sounds great. I regret that I only saw REM on the Green Tour. They did so much after that.

A work of art. So much better without all the beeps & buzzes.
The only singer who can make me tear 😢 up. Michael’s just so amazing.
Beautiful performance of a beautiful song
Like no other. Cracks the sky and plumbs the ocean
Nice song , one of the best of R.E.M.
One of the most cool bands of all times !!!! Such a melody such intense feelings !!!!
Merveilleux Mikael une voix envoûtante chaude j'adoreeeeee ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Michael Stipes voice is brilliant takes you to another dimension.
This performance and song is quite simply magical. Oh my, how I love REM. Let them wash over me .
This beautiful version of the song runs gently through my wires. Thank you for posting. "Make my make believe believe in me..."
My two favourite guitarists together absolute magic

I saw Peter Buck wearing this same shirt last summer (2023) with the Baseball Project :)
Absolutely breathtaking..., I'm speechless...
Maybe their best song ....?
Omg I got no words to describe this beauty, am sad and happy altogether... Gees Michael's voice hit me hard.
Miss REM Live so much! Simply beautiful!
Very true, Prince. But Michael was more a novelist, a storyteller, writing music lyrics than anyone I can think of aside from Bob Dylan.

life changing. lol. now that's a shakey perspective.
I like this stripped down version. Very soulful.
I was never a big REM guy, but this is easily one of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard in my life…
Not a fan of one of the greatest bands ever... get checked.
@@oasisbeyond I always liked/respected REM...just never got into them until I got my hands on REVEAL...they're awesome lol
Can't believe it's been 20 years since Reveal came out. Thanks for sharing this!
Incredible and Beautiful!
Beautiful song
Michael's ultimate delivery of this is on the Live at Olympia album. Check it out and if you're not deeply moved, check your pulse. Thanks for posting, heidigretel
Incredible songwriting.
What a wonderful ❤ song...
Awesome band and beautiful tune ❤️🎶❤️🎶
Michael's smile at the end is a beautiful image. :)
Amazing song just listen to Michael's amazing voice so beautiful xx
I miss them.
Siempre los escuchamosRem
an absolutely wonderful song!

I agree, R.E.M have the most gems in all their albums vs The Beatles.
Beautiful, greatest band in any country
this is the proof that REM was stilled doing incredible songs after Bill Berry leaves the band.
What a beautiful powerfully performed piece. Thanks so much for the post.
Gary Donatelli You are very welcome :)))))
Great song
absolutely wonderful song!
before my eyes,
I watch you as you sing...
are you hypnotized, mystified, electrified...
a hypnotic fade,
I feel your breath,
I feel your breath with the beauty and the butterflies.
(I give my THANKS.)😘
I don't know if it's the song or the voice that makes me cry! The angels only wish they could sing like this.

Shitty writing, sorry, im tired right now, but you get the point . rem is awesome
Have you seen?
Have not will travel
Have I missed the big reveal?
Do my eyes
Do my eyes seem empty?
I've forgotten how this feels
I've been high
I've climbed so high
The light, sometimes it washes over me
Have you been?
Have done will travel
I fell down on me knees
Was I wrong?
I don't know, don't answer
I just needed to believe
I've been high
I've climbed so high
The light, sometimes it washes over me
So I dive into a pool
So cool and deep that if I sink I sink
And when I swim I fly, so high
What I want
All I really wanted
Just to live my life on high
And I know
I know you want the same
I can see it in your eyes
I've been high
I've climbed so high
The light, sometimes it washes over me
Washes over me
I close my eyes
So I can see
Make my make believe, believe in me
That is such an emotional and beautiful version, so intimate, thanks Heidi, you help life have special moments!
