R.E.M. - "Daysleeper"

1998, promoting 'Up'

[@sub-zero7008]

What an amazing vocal by Michael 💯🔥

[@darrenmuse]

How are we going to live without songs like this?!

[@wadecross5369]

It's been tough 😪

[@RichardCorral]

We still have them

[@aarondavid5866]

we dont . i dont need anything new. Only those who are spiritually void do. there is enough

[@ericsays8801]

Yes, that was definitely another superb performance by REM. Mr. Stipe is a true pro at his craft along with his band mates. Too bad they have left us. But at least, we can remember them through their great catalog of music that will stand the test of time. Thank you REM!

[@chandand5740]

There’s no version of this song that I can even imagine disliking - it’s outstanding for sheer emotion

[@aarondavid5866]

what other version

[@chandand5740]

@@aarondavid5866 just search "daysleeper" and you'll find many - each one superb and emotive

[@throwdealz4081]

Stipe always performs his songs with so much respect. His stage presence always morphs w the song, hes just as enthusiastic as someone jamming out in their car. Such a beautiful song and the showcase of his rhythmic vocal delivery on this is just money.

[@josefinebliss2801]

Love his voice here. Looks like he's stimming with his hand hehe. Love his sweater too, such a lovely performance

[@punschpralinen]

Love the way he flicks his right hand, and that pink sweater is gorgeous. :'D

[@BobJJ9999]

A superb song, magnificent vocal!

[@theharmonymotel8107]

While I can't agree that overall the "UP" album is the secret masterpiece that others claim (too many overlong, uninvolving tracks), this song is absolutely one of R.E.M.'s best less-heralded tunes. This is a terrific live performance of it. Stipe's vocals are great.

[@bleubell222]

:) love. I miss the days when music was felt not simply heard

[@mattmyers2863]

Well put!

[@andreasleonlandgren3092]

Ashley Blue me 2

[@grega.4556]

The great Igor Stravinsky said this exactly, that music should be seen, not just heard. I feel blessed that I got to see R.E.M. in concert.

[@bneyens]

There is more good music now than ever\

[@JDtimesten]

Nobody this good gets this kind of attention anymore. It's like people have been dumbed down to the point of not asking for or even recognizing great art right now. I dunno. Something wrong is happening.

[@3storiesUp]

They were incredible ...

[@GetOnTheFloor82]

Absolutely amazing lyrics. Great music. Awesome performance. One of my favourite ever songs. Not exactly just REM. Just in general. Brilliant.

[@chrisclark8999]

OMG - that voice break at 2.56.......heaven

[@johnnydtractive]

they sound incredible here. better than the album, which, how is that even possible.

[@sindx]

Sounds just like the album but better...dear God.

[@PiotrSzewczykPL]

High level! amazing...

[@chrisstringer9652]

That tiny falsetto bit... wow.

[@DolbroDan]

i know. I heard it on a couple of other live takes. At first I thought it was his voice cracking until I realised he was making the note at will. Fantastic singer, I love this song!

[@spikemufc]

I'm grateful I had a chance to attend their concert once. But I still hope it wasn't the last...

[@ammilligan]

At 1:58, mike knows how to play Piano when he was a little kid & he can still play bass guitar

[@Christopher-xn8qk]

[@Givingitashot]

What a band! Miss them so much. Stipes vocals should be in charge of the world! I don't know it can be done, but it must be!:-)

[@jontez1340]

[@JohnSmith-kq9xk]
