I love the slight crack in his voice when he sings “failed”. Very melancholic. He must do it purposefully because you can hear it in the record and a few other live performances.
I get chills every time i hear this song. People are like, "you know he's gay right? he's singing about another guy probably" and I tell them I don't even care. So what he is gay? I don't judge people. This is a beautiful song any way you look at it. One of my top 5 favorite songs of all time. period. Love REM and Michael Stipe
What they're saying is they specifically think about who the artist is fucking when they listen to a love song. Idk, but it sounds rather weird to only be able to enjoy literature or appreciate art when you can fully identify with the artist and his way of life.
So what he is gay? I don't judge people ... maybe you didn't make a judgment, but you pointed out that being gay means being different, think about it ! We are all different form each other ...
I don't have the words to describe how perfect this performance is... I really they get back together for another tour. I'd happily pay over the odds to see them live.
I think we all have to accept this was peak times in life. Not a single artists tells an interviewer to just "listen to the song". Fucking incredible song.
Losing My Religion, the song that changed my life and that amazing band that changed my life will always have a special place. It's a song that I will never get tired of listening to no matter how old I get. I am forever grateful and a fan of you for this song and many more great songs. I love you R.E.M. I love you so much. 08.02.2022 Time: 17:44
Damn, I have never seen a version of this song like this. So much better than the 'out there' official video. They should have released this instead. Superb!
Stipe sings well (better than normal) during this performance. A lot of feeling. The song gotta be wrote from a personal experience of his. I wish he would tell more about about it.
In 1998 stipe said this song was about having big crush on someone but didn't know where he stands, even after he drops hint the size of 'IDAHO'. There was someone very special to him that always linked to word 'IDAHO' he was the same person stipe dedicated r.e.m. monster album to. Stipe said his death was the most shattering experience in his life.
I listen to metal like Black Metal And Grind Core But This Song Just Transcends Genre's. Fucking Phenomenal Song .Loved It Since I First Saw The Video On MTV When I Was A fifth Grader .
A remarkable voice to a remarkable person. I heard on MTV in 1989 the Golden Palominos song, "Boy (Go). And even though there was nothing to indicate Michael Stipe was involved, I knew right away it was him on vocals! Remember that information was much harder to get than that today. It took me a while to confirm, but I was sure...
"Listen to the song" pretty much sums it up. So many people were faked out by this song and needed it explained to them. The most embarrassing were those cult members who insisted the song could only be about a Christian lamenting that he had lost his faith. Talk about having blinders on. Or being completely deaf.
Why all the bands that looks like highschool dudes playing in music class because they need extra points in math end up playing like the most emotional badass songs ever 💀
Oh life, it's bigger It's bigger than you And you are not me The lengths that I will go to The distance in your eyes Oh no, I've said too much I set it up That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight Losing my religion Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no, I've said too much I haven't said enough I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try Every whisper Of every waking hour I'm choosing my confessions Trying to keep an eye on you Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool Oh no, I've said too much I set it up Consider this Consider this, the hint of the century Consider this, the slip That brought me to my knees, failed What if all these fantasies come Flailing around Now I've said too much I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try But that was just a dream That was just a dream That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight Losing my religion Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no, I've said too much I haven't said enough I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try But that was just a dream Try, cry, why try That was just a dream Just a dream Just a dream, dream
Mike Mills' bass line really takes the song to a different level. If he had done something more simple and less melodic, the effect would have been much different.
@@MrUsermister he’s not saying Stipe went bald because of wearing hats. It’s just that people who’ve began going bald tend to really stick to their headwear
This song will find you. Then you'll be hooked for life.
It just found me,classic
@@leahojutube other songs that found u?
Brilliant. There's a fragility to Michael's voice here which is so emotional. Perhaps the best version of this classic song put there
I could listen to this version all day...
That's what I do
listen the one by Novel
I love it, slow.
I love the slight crack in his voice when he sings “failed”. Very melancholic. He must do it purposefully because you can hear it in the record and a few other live performances.
His voice is so perfect here! Goosebumps.
a remarkable voice to a remarkable person
There was a pain in his voice..
It's sublime
Best version of this song!
A truly beautiful young man. Amazing song about being at the end of your tether/rope due to the frustration of unrequited love.
Excellent.
Only God himself can fill that void.
immortal with just one song
Absolutely
I get chills every time i hear this song. People are like, "you know he's gay right? he's singing about another guy probably" and I tell them I don't even care. So what he is gay?

Spot on
Amen. The song just does it, nothing more to be said.
What they're saying is they specifically think about who the artist is fucking when they listen to a love song. Idk, but it sounds rather weird to only be able to enjoy literature or appreciate art when you can fully identify with the artist and his way of life.
I mean, a love song is a love song. All the feelings that this song conveys; you can feel that about anyone.
So what he is gay? I don't judge people ... maybe you didn't make a judgment, but you pointed out that being gay means being different, think about it ! We are all different form each other ...
I don't have the words to describe how perfect this performance is...
I really they get back together for another tour. I'd happily pay over the odds to see them live.
Despite having been to three of their concerts in Ireland, I would gladly pay too....
Two fiddy?
A brilliant version of an amazing song. Stipe’s voice is very inspired. Awesome.
I think we all have to accept this was peak times in life. Not a single artists tells an interviewer to just "listen to the song". Fucking incredible song.
Great comment.
shoutout to Mr. Peter Holsapple, on acoustic guitar. stellar musician
His best vocal performance of this song. The emotion is off the charts.
So beautiful. I could listen to this song every day.

😊
This song changed my life too.
For me is the best version❤
How did it change your life? It’s a sincere question.
The delicate sensibility of the metaphors of this amazing song, is something to genius
Michael looks ecstatic while he's singing this!!! Must be close to his heart.
2:53 When Michael's eyes roll over, it's just so awesome
That’s freaked out strange
Sniff: he said he would go into a slight trance
Damn, I have never seen a version of this song like this. So much better than the 'out there' official video. They should have released this instead. Superb!
Awesome.
Absolutely mind blowing masterpiece - one of the best ever -perfection in every way 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Very nice live version of a beautiful song.
Amazing. My favorite version.
2:54 holyfuck that’s amazing. he is not just singing the song, he is living the song.
ur right
TOTALLY!!!
Una Preghiera 🙏 , che capolavoro !
No, he’s just high as a mf 😂
Why, because he's rolling his eyes up only exposing whites?
Stipe sings well (better than normal) during this performance. A lot of feeling. The song gotta be wrote from a personal experience of his. I wish he would tell more about about it.
Very true mate!!
The song is about losing the plot. A phrase where he comes from, Athens, Georgia.
can you elaborate about this phrase?
@@TOT777SOS its probably about someone losing their religion
In 1998 stipe said this song was about having big crush on someone but didn't know where he stands, even after he drops hint the size of 'IDAHO'. There was someone very special to him that always linked to word 'IDAHO' he was the same person stipe dedicated r.e.m. monster album to.

This is outstanding.
Amazing performance.
All versión of this song is amazing. Michael Stipe is wonderful.

Increíble el sonido de la guitarra, mandolina, bajo acústico, y la voz, sumamente Increíble🔥🔥🔥🎶

Inmortal Michael Stipe from Ecuador 2019
This is a song about codependency. Look it up!

Hermoso me lleva a ver galaxias

Tem alguém em Belem q e louca peĺo seu trabalho
Uma pena muitos não tem uma visão da letra está acontecendo hoje a história dessa música.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹📺👏👏👏
Oh life, it's bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
Every whisper
Of every waking hour
I'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
Consider this
Consider this, the hint of the century
Consider this, the slip
That brought me to my knees, failed
What if all these fantasies come
Flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
That was just a dream
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try
That was just a dream
Just a dream
Just a dream, dream
Politicians should listen when guving out bs.

musica imortal
quiero morir escuchando esta canción y
Fantastisch!!!! das Lied hat etwas magisches. ich liebe sie! aber diese Version ist viel zu langsam...gefällt mir nicht so gut...
Michael looked less young back then.
he must of being going bald after this as he started wearing hats.
@@MrUsermister he’s not saying Stipe went bald because of wearing hats. It’s just that people who’ve began going bald tend to really stick to their headwear
@@EZal17 ... was just being ironic, however wearing hats all the time may not be healthy for the scalp ?
🖤🤍
Kinda ironic how a man became a god by losing his religion?
?
1991 wow brings back so many memories sorry folks but he high on something
its called drugs man
So love this song...
