What a great great Band!!!

[@martindickson4821]

What a song to finish Season 2 of The Bear! Perfect!

The storm that came up strong. It shook the trees and blew away our fear.

Highalive

[@amjh4lah809]

What an incredibly beautiful song. This and Country Feedback are possibly/probably my favourite 2 R.E.M. songs❤

[@bethanyfregans6138]

This song will always be a favorite

[@lcrooks69]

People forget how crazy talented REM were. This was a seminal band in alternative music. Inspiration for Nirvana among others.

[@Mike_Oxlong_]

They were also the inspiration for Hootie & the Blowfish, a master class on how to take college rock and capitalize on it

[@StuartwasDrinkell]

@@Mike_Oxlong_ where would mumford and sons be without REM? true folk revival right here!

[@philthornton-iy9vv]

One of the great American bands

R.E.M. - One of many great songs they wrote

[@FabioPalacios]

This could be the saddest dusk ever seen You turn to a miracle high-alive My mind is racing as it always will My hands tired, my heart aches I'm half a world away, here My head sworn to go it alone and hold it along Haul it along and hold it Go it alone, hold it along And hold Oh, the lonely deep sit hollow I'm half a world, half the world away My shoes are gone, my life spent I had too much to drink I didn't think, and I didn't think of you I guess that's all I needed To go it alone and hold it along Haul it along and hold it Blackbirds, backwards, forwards and fall And hold Oh, this lonely world is wasted Pathetic eyes high-alive Blind to the tide that's turned the sea The storm, it came up strong It shook' the trees and blew away our fear I couldn't even hear To go it alone and hold it along Haul it along and hold it Go it alone and hold it along And hold Go it alone and hold it along Haul it along and hold it Blackbirds, backwards, forwards and fall And hold Oh, this could be the saddest dusk I've ever seen I turn to a miracle high-alive My mind is racing as it always will My hands tired, my heart aches I'm half a world away Go...

Snipe must be one the greatest male vocalists of all time - so rich!

[@Skarfp]

Such an important song, especially right now.

[@subwaygoddess1]

My favorite band. I went to 3 of their concerts, 1982, 1985, and 1987, NYC. I have been in love with R.E.M. forever. This song is absolutely beautiful and perfect. Michael Stipe is indescribably beautiful

[@jamescameron1765]

i saw them in 1999- much later. You must have seem in pretty small venues!

[@subwaygoddess1]

@@jamescameron1765 1982, they opened for Squeeze at the Nassau Colesium, and they played Stumble, my favorite R.E.M. song! In 1985 and 1987, I saw them in Radio City Music Hall. Where did you see them?

[@joelbonilla1805]

By a mile,so glad to see so many people fall in love with it after watching the end of The Bear.Its a magnificent song.3 minutes of total genius.

[@mikeoleary1723]

I remember this night. Recorded on VHS. They were just so good. Grunge was just about to break big time.

[@amjh4lah809]

Probably in my top 3 favourite R.E.M. songs 🎵 🎶 ❤

It’s so hard to pick a favorite song of theirs. Every one is so meaningful!

Not all dead yet. Buck still plays in bands, tours, writes, and produces albums. Stipe publishes photography books. Mills still plays. Berry is probably still on the farm LOL

Unreal. Just with a mike and a fucking ukulele. Help. Bring back artists.

[@edwardmorehouse1424]

Didn't know Bill played bass too.

[@phototristan]

Indeed. He also actually wrote some of the R.E.M. songs.

[@coolnamebro]

Great performance but missing something without Mike Mills' winsome backing vocal.

I’ve always liked to think he says ‘jai alai’. Don’t correct me, just let me dream

I heard it too. Your interpretation is valid. You're beautiful for loving this music.
