R.E.M. - Everybody Hurts (Official HD Music Video)

[@RevIreland]

My wife and I used to listen to this. She has passed..... O' God, it hurts.....

[@natalie-t-17]

I'm so sorry for your loss :( It's a great song and I'm glad you and your wife were able to enjoy it together. You seem to be a believer yourself, and I'd offer Revelation 21:4 as a comfort if you haven't looked at it lately: "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." One day, this too, shall pass. God bless

[@willaimrobinson9383]

I will not give you cliche words of advice, or repeated phrases because I know that they won`t help you much right now. What I can tell you is ... "Me too"....... The pain is debilitating, the silence is deafening. I am here to listen if you need to talk. Mine passed 6 long years ago after 30 years of marriage. Most cannot even understand what you are going through right now. If you don`t want to talk, that's ok. I would like to know how you are doing.... just because I care.

My world was a mess in 1993. Decided to end it all. Was driving fast down a hill with a sharp right over a bridge as the bottom. My plan was just to go straight on. As I was halfway down the hill, the line "No, no, no you're not alone" came on. It hit me like a brick. I slowed own, pulled over, and cried like a child. Michael Stipe, I owe you.

I'm 60 yrs. old, I came across this song the night my granddaughter received a heart transplant. My granddaughter was born with congenital heart syndrome, which meant breathing was always a problem. She celebrated her 1st anniversary with her new Heart on May 28,2019. She’s now twelve years old, l will forever be grateful to the donor,s family for sharing their Love One with us and for giving my Granddaughter a new life .To this day I still cry for the donor, whose young life ended unexpectedly, and for the family who blessed my granddaughter . I thank God for every day he gives her. Life before her transplant was very different from now. I pray, that “my granddaughter never forgets her donor, whose life came to end in order for her to have a better quality of life, and that the Donors family gave unselfishly for others to have life. “When Life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, Show Life you have a thousand reasons to Smile.” Peace be with you.

I had the pleaser of meeting a man called Peter Cotter in about 2000 who was a Vietnam Veteran and he told us a story of how he wrote poems to help him deal with his burdens from the war,and how a guy who’s name I can’t remember came to the sergeants mess ( Army accomodation) and asked if anyone had any poems as he would like to see them, and so Peter went to his room to get his poems, the guy said I’ll give you x amount of dollars (could have been $50-$100) for these poems. Some time later on he was driving home in his car when “Everybody hurts” came on and he said to his wife I know that song. So when he got home he searched for his old poems and found his poem that is what led to this song , and as soon as I heard Peters story of the poem he wrote I immediately understood why I used to get sad whenever I heard this song, and to this day and into the future I will always remember Peter Cotter not only for the beautiful person I met but for giving me the understanding of this song and it’s words, I no longer feel sad when I here this song but I rejoice in meeting a man who’s written word helped me understand things so much better. To Peter Cotter all I can say is thankyou sir and I will never forget you - you helped to change my life for the better.

I have wanted to take my life so often. I always struggled to fit in with others and ended up fighting a lot. People simply never understood me. I have to remain for the sake of my loved ones and family yet that doesn't make the road any easier. I am still uncertain about my future and where to go.

My faith in Jehovah God has been the foundation for my life. I had nearly died of pneumonia but got sent back here, we all have our purpose and we all have our struggles. And hey, be yourself, don't worry about what other people think even if it's singing the canadian national anthem in front of everybody, making a bunch of poop jokes at your brother's wedding, chasing birds, building sandcastles, or telling your parents to "grow up" ;)

What you wrote was so nice you sound like a really wonderful person. I am also 64 years old my husband passed 3 months ago very lonely now. But since he did me so wrong which I just found out 2 years before his death I believe the hurt is less. Hoping to find a friend someday my age if nothing else just to talk with. I don't know what your story is Jeff but I wish you all the best we're all not getting any younger here. Peace and happiness always my friend.

No.... it becomes a bit less painful but it never goes completely away. On your "dark day's"... go ahead & cry, feel bad for yourself but know - You Are Not Alone!! Alass, Keep your friends close & close out your enemies & cry, cry hard, sob uncontrollably but let it out! Otherwise, you will choke on the pain in your loneliness. Your friends that are close & understand... Talk to them. Let them sit with you & cry with you. But the pain, is your pain & it never goes away. Get a grip on it after you've cried til your tears dry up, after you've sobbed hard & uncontrollably, then you push the pain in an empty place. It will come back on another day but, you can roll with it for awhile & put it back in your "mind closet." You're stronger than you think & you have your friends. Just roll with it for awhile, put it back in the closet in your mind, pick yourself up, dust off & go on about your day. Bcuz, everybody hurts sometimes.

[@Stephanie-bp1rt]

I’m listening to this song a lot lately to remind myself that everyone is having a hard time during these times. I’m on stronger meds and hearing “hold on” gets me. Guys and gal, we are not alone. Even when your mind won’t shut off, remember, hold on. Hopeful everyday that tomorrow will be better for each of us.

[@larryritch9912]

Yes.. we are not alone... thank God...

[@progressforward]

Goodness is not religion these days, religion , has been tainted by devils. We are alone with loved ones, past and present.

[@AK-dw8jo]

Don’t take meds. I am NOT saying come off cold Turkey but meds are bad. They help with one problem and make three different ones. Find out what pharmacia actually means- well I tell you it means a HEALING OR POISONOUS herb/remedy. Just come of slowly. Nothing wrong with our bodies that Jesus can’t fix.

One of the most beautiful sad songs I have ever heard. Yet full of hope too. Songs like this are made once in a lifetime.

[@80sFreestyle-sy1xt]

I saw REM in concert back in the 90’s at the old Miami Arena (The Pink Elephant). What a group. Years of memories. Thank you!!

[@kathiesullivan2543]

Whenever I feel really depressed, I just play this song on a loop until I feel better. It makes me cry and sometimes you just need a good cry to feel better. Hold on...

[@jamie57061]

I wish I could say you are so right....

[@thoughtwavetech]

Same. Same. I can't imagine how many lives this has saved. I listen to this when the abyss stares up at me.

Used to catch my Mum crying. I would ask her why, she would say “You always feel better after a good cry” xxxx

My dad passed away 1 month ago due to covid. That‘s the song he wanted to be played at his funeral. It‘s the first time I hear this song since then, still hurts. COVID took Mom now too. May you be reunited in heaven. I love you both more than words can ever express ❤️

This song took me from a world of depression,drug addiction and attempted suicide to the family man I am today. No matter how bad life has become dont give up. Things do get better and wounds heal and memories are not forgotten but used as lessons to a brighter future. May God Bless all of you that are hurting.

This is one of my all-time favorite songs. The 2nd is Pink Floyd's, Comfortably Numb.

[@johnnylowroller3719]

Depression is a powerful demon to deal with. Sometimes it takes every ounce of my being to hold on. Much easier said than done. This song is very uplifting and really hits home!

[@michellejohns813]

Yes much easier said than done

[@mp9988]

Yeah true ur right!

[@Skyeyes17]

I have played this song repeatedly over the years. (1) it helped me to grieve, when my stepbrother took his own life and my daughter at the time was only (3) years old, she loved her uncle Greg. It broke her tender heart. (2) when my(1st) husband died in a roll over, a part of me died with him that night. (3) My (2nd) husband died of cancer, to tore me apart, as I was also his caregiver and walked that walk with him to the end. The list is endless. Point being grief can bury you if you left it. This song helped me to bleed for all the losses I suffered and when I feel I need a good cry, I can play it and it helps if only for a moment. It helps me to purge and to heal. For anyone who ever suffered a loss, my heart goes out to all of you.

[@koolJay01]

I know where you're coming from! I've now had about 25yrs of it, hang in there.

[@karleenseymour967]

This song always makes me think of my son David, he had such a difficult life and lost his battle with addiction in June of 2019.

[@michaelorzolick8424]

I have so many friends who’s Children have died from Opioids too many to count all in the last three to five years more now then from Kids in high school in 1970’s had heroine overdose’s

[@geeker211]

This song came out a few days after my mother died when I was in my early 20's. My mother was not only my mom but my best friend too, so I felt like I had lost two people in my life when she left us, way too soon. I was destroyed inside and could barely continue my own life and was considering ending it all. Then I heard this song on the radio on the way to my mother's funeral....This song literally saved my life and helped me cope with it, and it helped me get through it. It was like a gift from God for me. Thank you R.E.M. I will always love you

[@MB-ys1uw]

Sometimes we find strength in the most unusual place, I am so glad you changed your mind, I wish you luck and hope in your life, be strong be happy for you your family and your mum 😔🙏❤️

I am so sorry sorry for your loss after 34 years of love

[@melaniemcniell272]

I lost the man I was with for 32 years 2 years ago and have just lost my oldest son. There is no words to explain the pain. It would be so easy to just give up. But there are so many left here who love me and just refuse to let me. I can't give up because of them. Life can just be a bitch. But, that is life. Death is a part of life. I just hold on to the belief that I will see them again one day! Who ever is going through this, please try to hold on for the ones who are left! Because, if you don't, they will feel like you do now. Good luck!

[@hamop3]

God Bless you Melanie, you are a strong woman. You do not feel it, but a lesser person wouldn't have made it this far. Those Deaths are most heart wrenching. I will be praying that you keep that inner strength going strong. My sympathy to you. WOW 😢that's mind boggling how deep down strong you really are, it is practically incomprehensible. Keep strong for the rest of your family, they need you more than you know. You are a strong pillar in their lives. God Bless you Melanie Constantly. Peace be with you.

[@sylvialyons1313]

I am 68 years old. But I remember this song, and I love it. Since I now suffer from major depression, it seems to fit me. Yes indeed, everybody hurts, even me.

[@Rexag]

Mental pain and torment can't be conveyed to someone that just doesn't have it..."Just Get Over It" ... okay, I never smoked so to smokers "Just Quit" LOL obviously it's difficult....people shouldn't give advice or make jokes with something they don't share...but just stop and say. nobody is normal and Thank God you don't have that disorder...if it were easy..it wouldn't hurt.
