How hard is to get everyone sing and jump and enjoy your song?

"Losing My Religion" mag dan in 1991 de eerste hitsingle van R.E.M. in Nederland zijn, het kwartet uit Athens Georgia heeft dan al zes albums op zijn naam staan. Het nummer gaat niet over religie, maar over onbeantwoorde liefde. In het Nederlands komt de uitdrukking "Van je geloof vallen" nog het dichtste in de buurt. "Losing My Religion is in feite een stijlbreuk voor R.E.M., zeker nadat gitarist Peter Buck de gitaar inruilt voor een mandoline. In de studio zingt Michael Stipe het nummer in één take in. Het zorgt voor de definitieve internationale doorbraak. Drummer Bill Berry stopt in 1997 wegens zware gezondheidsproblemen, de band zelf houdt in 2011 op te bestaan, aan de breuk liggen geen ruzies of andere meningsverschillen ten grondslag wat in de muziekwereld toch wel redelijk uniek genoemd mag worden.

[@dynjarren8355]

REM went from playing Pizza Parlors and small Pubs to becoming the biggest band in the world at one time! An amazing gradual climb to the top! Their first album Murmer was a good start with song Radio Free Europe and then they slowly got better and better with each album until the broke through with Green. Green as in Greenbacks they were raking in! A perfect album and then Out of Time which was even better and then they were headlining all around the world! 🌎 At one point they signed a deal for $70 million. That’s heady stuff for a band from Athens! Now they’re legends! Those 3 albums are my favorites plus New Adventures in HiFi! 😊

[@glaux2131]

Отличная музыка! Интересно, что все эти песни в таком количестве пришлись на перелом эпохи. Ламповой и мягкой. И сейчас может где-то жизнь и лучше, но эти мягкие и ламповые времена ушли. Теперь все резкое, обостренное. Как например песня "Марс наш". Боюсь такими времена будут где-нибудь через тысячу-другую лет.

[@abhorrentheathen]

I don't like the live version as much, the note he hits on the lines "losing my religion", "and you are not me", etc, combined with the chord that the mandolin plays is amazing on the studio version and for some reason he refuses to sing those notes that make the studio version so powerful

1000% no question about it. Lip sync but in their defense they wouldn't have had a choice. It would have been part of doing this big for this show. Not saying he could have always performed it live perfectly. I'm just suggesting that yes this is lip synced. But yes it also probably wasn't their choice to do it. They were probably told they had to
