    Me and by best friend Joe were working on his Ford Bronco late one night, having a good time, this song came on as we were working and we just started singing and comparing the pain to working on his Ford. Joe passed away suddenly this last February 28, 2023, I can't get over it and this song now makes me happy for the memories it brings back.

Also, who has been saying otherwise to start with? lol Oh, and by the way, it is also silly to say you don't care what others may say because then, why should we care about what you have said, and if you are not bothered about anybody caring, why< say it? lol

I decided to play music as i was preparing.Why this is the first song that played is still a mystery to me. I listened and realized i was not alone and was very blessed to have a family and friends that love me.MUSIC CAN BE VERY POWERFUL,

      I'm sorry my brother for your pain. I am losing my own brother now with cancer , and my mother and father and another brother have died since I was 13 year old. But I have no idea the pain a person feels when you lose your child. Hold on in there my friend.

    3 years ago my brother-in-law was in the ICU for COVID and it made me so sad listening to this song. Special to cry is music.

    In these difficult times that we are living in, this music is a comfort, a lap to snuggle up to. The most beautiful sad music ... the most sad beautiful music ... everyone suffers ... but it will all pass! Hang on! 2020 will pass

    I saw REM at isle of Wight many years ago, yes I was a teacher in Scotland so wasn't actually free to go. My colleagues covered for me, but about 2004/5 they played a very small venue, close to where I live, at Balloch Park, Loch Lomond ,and were absolutely amazing, also very generous to a few local young bands supporting them. We were sitting on the grass less than 20ft. from them . Incredible.

      Yeah Wendy that really small venue BCP ,was that the one when everybody went outside and there was a thunder and lighting and ,50,000 people got soaked on the way home :):)
      PS we were sitting about 200 yards from the stage until 4pm and were nearly trampled by a bunch of really old guys about 40 who obviously had far to much to drink :):)
