Welcome to 90s week 💗 hope you all enjoy! Everything’s been filmed already and edited for the most part for this week but feel free to leave suggestions for the next time we do 90s week 🦋
Michael stipe from R E M...such a powerfull message .check out james morrison, I won't let you go ...another great song and powerfull message. the official video
I remember hanging out at my homeboy's house one day after school, watching MTV. This video was on as his mom happened to walk past the living room. She stopped on a dime & just stared at the TV. After a minute or two of her standing perfectly still, we looked over & she had tears pouring down her face. You never know what somebody is going through.
That is the truth! I'm not 46, one of the worst things in my life happened 10 years ago, I still haven't recovered and hearing this songs tears me up every single time.
I remember when this song came out. Before counseling, or internet groups and it was the first time i remember seeing suicide being talked about in pop culture. You are so correct, this came out and saved ppl.
Its one of the songs that got me through alot of truma . i died and was brought back . now everytime i feel like things are just to much i play this song and just cry
As someone who's lived with depression their whole lives, this song and video had the meaning that sometimes, all you really CAN do when you're stuck in that place where everything is just sad and lonely, is get up, get out, and start walking. You may not have a destination yet, but keep walking. You're not alone.
"When you think you've had to much of this life" That saved my life. Cause I was like..No I haven't had to much.. but this song will bring a tear to any eye. I don't care where u from.
Mine too, several times. Love to you and everyone else who’s still here, who’s beat or is still fighting the fight. I’m glad we’ve made it this far. We can make it. Remember to hold on.
The ending was to emphasize that when one or two people take their lives it isn't reported or noticed. When 300 or 400 people just disappear it became noticed. Suicide is not an answer. Anyone who feels alone, please talk to someone.
I've been a R.E.M fan for forever , and this particular song has always touched my spirit, more so particularly last year getting through the isolation of the pandemic lock down being somewhat of a depressive anyways, with just my cat. "Everybody Hurts" and a few other well chosen pieces were on my play-list constantly........through lots of tears.......I just kept repeating that phrase: "hooooold on"........"hoooold on".
I’m so pleased you chose to react to this. You’re right that sometimes we need to listen to something a little deeper. This is beautifully written and performed. It’s also a supremely positive message. You reacted emotionally and intellectually and that to me is always the sign of great music. Keep doing what you do!
That "hold on" echoing in the background through out the song is so powerful...he reaches so many emotions with just two words...I never get tired of this song 😢💔💚🙏💪💪
Songs like this qualify as the sound of the human soul. We all want to reach out, we all want to be sociable and around others, but have our own cage of suffering that we view the world through from the time we wake up to when we go to sleep. Glad you enjoyed it.
This song has SAVED so many lives....including mine...in so many dark and hopeless times.💔 It has been used a lot in suicide awareness campaigns - it's heart-breaking, but somehow gives you hope? Such an important song for so many people.....Everybody Hurts & some of us almost take that final step. Michael Stipe was a good friend of Kurt Cobain, and was devastated when he committed suicide just a year after this single was released. But as we know, for some people, the PAIN is just too much 🖤 R.E.M. will always be remembered for giving people this timeless saviour. Much love to you from Ireland 💚
The lead singer, Michael Stipe, wrote this song directed towards teenagers, because their suicide rate is so high. The lyrics “take comfort in your friends” are the ones that touch me the most. When I was a teen, it was only because of my friends that I am still here. R.E.M.’s lyrics are always spot on
R.E.M. stands for Rapid Eye Movement, a stage of sleep so you pronounce each letter separately just so you know :-). The captions in the video add a lot of meaning that might otherwise be missed so you chose the right video to watch. I've seen people moved to tears over this song, it has some kind of effect on most everybody. I enjoyed your reaction, take care and stay safe.
Growing up before videos became the norm, I often think they detract from the song. They can be really enjoyable but they change the experience of the music. This is one of the few videos that I thought really amplified the music. Seeing all the different faces and the painful snippets of their thoughts tells the entire story. Instead of focusing on your own pain, you’re shown how everyone is hurting in their own way. Their situations may be different, but we’re all connected by the same pain. Bravo R.E.M.!
This is a great song young lady, sad but great... Very deep and makes you think about not only your life at times, but also a lot of things many people have been through and are going trough right now.. Just take the time to smile at someone or even opening a door, you may never know what that kind gesture may do to lift someone out of something and let them know there are people who do actually care in this world...:)
So much deep deep stuff came out of the 90s...this song is beautiful and life affirming. Acknowledging pain is something our society is terrible at doing, so we need art like this
A song about despair, helplessness, and pain, but also about hope. One of my favorite 90's songs. They also did Losing My Religion. If you haven't yet listened to it, you should. ✌️
Yeah…this is one of those songs that can easily take you to that place of pain. I know it did (and still does) for me. Not sure how it is for others…but for me I was mentally and physically abused. This song in some ways helps me sort out some of that mess. Thank you R.E.M.
Please make reaction to Diana Ankudinova! Diana’s a contralto gifted with naturally occurring polyphonic overtones. Diana's voice is like a rainbow of colors now and there's a pot of gold that's the gift at the end of the rainbow, and the rainbows being the various tones that and qualities that she has to offer through the song. Diana's polyphonic overtone sounding is indescribable happiness, delight and goosebumps. To perform all this with a contralto chest register, combining with a mixed and head register, ending each phrase with his own unforgettable yodeling technique, no one is able to perform songs, as Diana does.
Thank you, Lizzie, for sharing and reacting to this incredible, fantastically amazing song. I remember when it came out and, promise not to tell anyone, it still makes my cry. Thanks again.
Yeah, right there with you. The instrumental work is so creamy and the lyrics hit the bullseye for so many people at the time, they still do today. Reminder of a heartbreak and a healing. Thank you, I haven’t heard it in years 😘
Great song choice. I actually feel this song by R.E.M was ahead of it’s time. It really speaks to you if you truly listen. I grew up with this kind of music and it was a great time to be a kid or teen. Your song selections really hit home with me a lot. Keep doing what you do 👍
I like what you said about the 70s, 80s, and 90s and how the 90s included others besides just the band in videos. A thoughtful and endearing review. Good job.
I have been a fan of R.E.M. since '85, not always an easy thing to be with my friends and their choice of music. But when this song came out, everyone listened and everyone got the message. Respect, Lizzie.
This video was filmed on the IH-10 expressway in San Antonio, just northwest of downtown and its famous landmarks of the Alamo and the Riverwalk. In fact, a church I used to attend is located just yards away from where this video was shot.
IMO, the OG of independent bands that were lucky enough to hit it large with WB. I loved REM back in the early 80s. They got very little airplay (on radio) other than the late-night hours or on college stations. Quite a few of their songs have meanings - and some you really need to figure it out. Mike Stipe at one time was considered by fans for election into public office - that's how much his lyrics meant to many people. I was pretty much out of them by the time this toon came out, but it does have a great message and sound to go with it.
Great breakdown of the the song and for pointing out that the difference and development in 70s to 90s videos. Concentrating on the focus from the bands/artists to include other people’s issues and stories as well is something I haven’t yet seen in other reaction videos. Much respect and appreciation to you for that. I like your style. Peace. 👏🙏👌
This one rips at you. We all have been here and depended on others to help us off the floor. Peace to your soul, Liz. Favs for Liz from the 60's 1964* This one -> Where Did Our Love Go by The Supremes (HOF)** 1964 Dancing in the Street by Martha and the Vandellas (HOF)@ 1964 Chapel of Love by The Dixie Cups 1964 Come a Little Bit Closer by Jay and the Americans^ 1964 Walk On By by Dionne Warwick (HOF) (You reacted to it) 1964 The Shoop Shoop Song (It's in His Kiss) by Betty Everett 1964 Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying by Gerry and the Pacemakers 1964 Leader of the Pack by The Shangri-Las 1964 You Really Got Me by The Kinks (HOF)^ *The Beatles ERA begins (but I'm saving them for another list) **Sampled in the 80s by Soft Cell (Tainted Love) @ Covered by Mick Jagger and David Bowie in 80s ^ Still gets air time!
In my 51 years on this planet, this is the only song that has truly touched my soul, in a way that no other has. It's both sad and beautifully uplifting at the same time. Thank Michael for your gift to the world.
ok, after watching hundreds of reaction videos I've finally seen one that I am completely impressed by. Thoughtful, heartfelt, analytical, you name it. Inspirational Lizzie, you got a like and subscribe. :)
People don't know, or they forget, but album sales, R.E.M. outsold Nirvana in the 90's. Good observation, you're right, 90's videos suddenly involved other people other than the band, a little more, a lot more, I never noticed that. I watched a lot more 90's music videos than 80's videos, we didn't have cable in the 80's. And if you didn't have cable, your only option was a show called "Friday Night Videos". There are still 80's videos that I watch that I've never seen before, and I know the song backwards and forwards. My main observation was that a lot of 90's videos were in black and white, and of course the 80's had their own very neon bright color palette.
A great reaction to a great song with a deep but simple message - you may feel alone but you are surrounded by love. This song and Crazy by Gnarls Barkley are my go to songs. I’ve learned to live with depression and suicidal thoughts. These two songs really help. They make you realize every single person has self doubt and battle some type of anxiety. Most just hide it really well. Loved your reaction - you are a strong intelligent beautiful woman - keep it going. God bless - go in peace.
I love this song. But ironically, the group (R.E.M) HATES this song. They basically wrote the it as sarcasm, but most people took it literally and loved it. This is one of their only songs that R.E.M to this day refuses to play at their concerts...LOL
You definitely got the message this song was trying to send to people well said and remember everyone your not alone in this world if you need help just ask someone anyone we are all in this together
You know how many lives this song has saved in the last 30 years..including mine. Everyone has their own story. We all have a beginning..buts up to all of us to make that ending what u always wanted it to be...along the ride..it's gonna be a rough ride at times..but guess what .it makes us who we are. Don't ever give up..we get one chance at it..Make it happen.
Amazing Track and amazing how certain songs touch you inside and this is one of them (love) you look stunning btw Lizzie loved how you got into it by closing your eyes, songs like this hit us all (love) Music is amazing
@@danielglenn915 I had not either until listening to it here ,after decades of first hearing it. First time I picked up on the "reporters" line of paraphrasing here, "we can't find anyone, they are just gone", at the end.
WOW! You are Deep! I know you are young but you have the intellect of a mature, very intelligent person. Loved your reaction and look forward to seeing more of your reaction videos. Your reaction seems very genuine. Props! -Peace, ✌️🙏
Deep emotional song ! Honestly in times like today ! Not to get political but you know there’s a lot of hurt going on out in our world ! With everyone! I hope and pray you all have a friend to lean on ! And Liz your right we all do need more love ❤️ damn it seems like it’s hard for people to just LIKE EACH OTHER today! Great choice Liz ! Great reaction!
Es una canción con un mensaje realmente esperanzador para nosotros, sobretodo cuando pasamos momentos muy tristes y no pensamos más que en irnos de este mundo. Greetings from Chile!
Excellent choice who ever requested this and that ain't no kidding about Diana I have never heard anything like that that girls got everything range wise little man look normal again haha you look lovely Liz excellent song excellent reaction peace out
@@lizziethegangsterhippie9291 you know Miss gangster hippie I myself is an OG back from the hood white boy grew up in the ghetto ass projects my point is. If there is a Mr Man he's a lucky guy cuz we think you are just a wonderful person from what I see and baby girl wants to know if bear got a name or did I already asked you hell I can't remember
@@mornystanit1 I know...if you heard, she pronounced it is a complete word "rem". And the band didn't name it specifically because of Rapid Eye Movement it was just chosen randomly so the band could finally have a name after their indecision on what to call themselves. "They had a number of pretty terrible names as possibilities including "Twisted Kites", "Cans of Piss", and "Negro Wives." R.E.M. is supposedly a random dictionary grab by Stipe."
@@mornystanit1 um no, a different website. I don't trust Wikipedia and I never said he told ME. But I DID see Michael Stipe say a paraphrase of the explanation on a VH-1 interview back in the day. I couldn't find the video so I found a quote.
Welcome to 90s week 💗 hope you all enjoy! Everything’s been filmed already and edited for the most part for this week but feel free to leave suggestions for the next time we do 90s week 🦋
Dee-Lite- Groove is in the Heart. Very 90's. But you have probably heard it b4.

When you get back.... COLLECTIVE SOUL - WORLD I KNOW.... DECEMBER... SHINE
One of my favorite songs is by The Pretenders - I'll Stand By You. Get your hanky ready...
Michael stipe from R E M...such a powerfull message .check out james morrison, I won't let you go ...another great song and powerfull message. the official video

Bro, I haven't seen the words Homeboy's House since 1994. Word up, and Peace Brother ❤️❤️❤️
That is the truth! I'm not 46, one of the worst things in my life happened 10 years ago, I still haven't recovered and hearing this songs tears me up every single time.
This song actually saved lives. There's no possible achievement more important than that.
Very true 💗

Its one of the songs that got me through alot of truma . i died and was brought back . now everytime i feel like things are just to much i play this song and just cry

Yes, this and a number of other songs like Why Worry from Dire Straits are the reason I'm still alive.
As someone who's lived with depression their whole lives, this song and video had the meaning that sometimes, all you really CAN do when you're stuck in that place where everything is just sad and lonely, is get up, get out, and start walking. You may not have a destination yet, but keep walking. You're not alone.
This song was released in 1993. My mom committed suicide on 4-20-95. I was 17. This song makes me cry every time, but the words keep me going.
I’m so sorry for your loss 💗
I just saw your comment, i am so sorry for your loss your in my toughts
@Max & Maxine..... I am so very sorry for your loss. Take care. Peace.
Love to you and for your mom. I’m sorry for your loss.
Im so sorry
"When you think you've had to much of this life" That saved my life. Cause I was like..No I haven't had to much.. but this song will bring a tear to any eye. I don't care where u from.
Your silence was appreciated and perfect..100% respectful..A+
This song saved my life.
I’m glad you’re still with us my friend. Thank you for hanging on.❤️✌️🌼
And my life several times
@@jon-pauldupont5746 I’m glad This song helped. Keep holding on! I know it can be hard sometimes. Just remember you’re not alone.❤️✌️🌼

As hard as I try to hold them back, the tears win every time I hear this song...
Doesn't matter how many times I hear this song it makes me cry every time.
This song is going to be relevant until the day the world ends.
Songs like this qualify as the sound of the human soul. We all want to reach out, we all want to be sociable and around others, but have our own cage of suffering that we view the world through from the time we wake up to when we go to sleep. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks so much 💗
Does he have a background or experience in dance? He's such a great performance artist, he understands movement, as well as being a great singer.
Everybody feels like this song sometimes......feel like letting go......Hang on!😢🙏🏻👂

Every fibre in my being sings this soliloquy to my Son, ............he couldn't hold on.

I love watching people listen to this for the first time..
My brother sees Michael Stipe in Athens GA here and there. He and REM never wanted to be celebrities in mansions...sigh ..my kind of people.

r.e.m. doesn't stand for rapid eye movement as far as the band is concerned.
Always makes cry.
Perfect first choice! Love this song and the message. It obviously went right to your soul. Beautiful reaction. 😌🌹
Thank you so much 💗 and yeah I wasn’t prepared at all lol

Great comments Lizzie!!!! You're a beautiful and powerful human being!!!! Your revolution is important to all of us!!!!
Your reaction is as real as it gets. Thank you

Very insightful commentary. Love this video. Thanks!

Some songs speak to individuals, but the best songs speak to a truth we all just know and understand inside.

That’s very true too! The color scheme was very different in the 90s from the 80s!
Hello Lizzie. Give These a listen. Procol Harum - A Whiter Shade of Pale, live in Denmark 2006
A great reaction to a great song with a deep but simple message - you may feel alone but you are surrounded by love. This song and Crazy by Gnarls Barkley are my go to songs. I’ve learned to live with depression and suicidal thoughts. These two songs really help. They make you realize every single person has self doubt and battle some type of anxiety. Most just hide it really well. Loved your reaction - you are a strong intelligent beautiful woman - keep it going. God bless - go in peace.
Beautiful reaction and comments! God bless you and keep you!
Thank you so much 💗 God bless!
Your spoken voice is to die for lovely.
You are so spot on. You nailed it.
R.E.M. - Shiny Happy People
I love this song. But ironically, the group (R.E.M) HATES this song. They basically wrote the it as sarcasm, but most people took it literally and loved it. This is one of their only songs that R.E.M to this day refuses to play at their concerts...LOL
"Shiny Happy People" makes my ear bleed...
this video saved so many lives,the news report at the end is important,in 1992 the average number of sui*ides per day was around 400
You definitely got the message this song was trying to send to people well said and remember everyone your not alone in this world if you need help just ask someone anyone we are all in this together
I really appreciate how much you listen to the words and message
Thank you 💗😏
Even if you never said a word, the expression on your face is all the reaction needed. Serious song, and your reaction was perfect.
Great reaction. I love this song.😀👍❤️✌️🌼
Life saving song.. thats a fact
This is a truly amazing song
Creating a universal story of life.
You know how many lives this song has saved in the last 30 years..including mine. Everyone has their own story. We all have a beginning..buts up to all of us to make that ending what u always wanted it to be...along the ride..it's gonna be a rough ride at times..but guess what .it makes us who we are. Don't ever give up..we get one chance at it..Make it happen.
This video was shot in San Antonio Texas a few miles from my home. Always loved this song.
Silence is the best reaction!
Thank you for listening to the song before reaction ❤️🐈🐈🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thank you 💗
Amazing Track and amazing how certain songs touch you inside and this is one of them (love) you look stunning btw Lizzie loved how you got into it by closing your eyes, songs like this hit us all (love) Music is amazing
Everyone forgets to delve into "The Rapture" style ending.
I had never considered a Rapture element in their disappearance until now. Interesting take.
@@danielglenn915 I had not either until listening to it here ,after decades of first hearing it. First time I picked up on the "reporters" line of paraphrasing here, "we can't find anyone, they are just gone", at the end.
When the best of music video met great music
Lizzie you’re a cutie pie.. ❤️❤️❤️REM caught you in the feelings that’s for sure.. it’s a deep emotional song telling you not to give up on life …
That's an interesting observation about 90s videos

You are perfect. Thanks for sharing.
It is spoken R.E.M. my friend.
Shoutout to San Antonio! This was filmed on IH-10/IH-37 just NE of downtown.
Btw, it's R.E.M. not rem, just a friendly correction.
R.E.M. - Rapid Eye Movement
@@mornystanit1 I know...if you heard, she pronounced it is a complete word "rem". And the band didn't name it specifically because of Rapid Eye Movement it was just chosen randomly so the band could finally have a name after their indecision on what to call themselves.
"They had a number of pretty terrible names as possibilities including "Twisted Kites", "Cans of Piss", and "Negro Wives." R.E.M. is supposedly a random dictionary grab by Stipe."
@@joseavila6422 Thats all according to Wikipedia
@@mornystanit1 um no, a different website. I don't trust Wikipedia and I never said he told ME. But I DID see Michael Stipe say a paraphrase of the explanation on a VH-1 interview back in the day. I couldn't find the video so I found a quote.
R.E.M. "NEAR WILD HEAVEN" & "FALL ON ME"
