My younger brother committed suicide last weekend by overdosing on something. He was found with headphones on, presumably listening to something. This is his youtube account. He made a playlist containing 6 songs that was edited the day he passed. This is one of the 6 songs. With the method he used, he was dead after about 30 minutes, probably unconscious around 12 minutes. I like to think that it was peaceful for him with his music on. I love you Myles, I'll miss you everyday for the rest of my life..

As a Muslim from the Middle East, it is through the brilliantly crafted songs of R.E.M that I first became exposed to the greatness of Western culture. R.E.M songs remind me of the happy times of my childhood when optimism ruled the day. Things have changed for the worse since then, but I will always have R.E.M hits to fall back on. Thank you Michael Stipe for brilliant works of art! I'll be forever grateful.

I was always a HUGE REM fan from the early 80's. I got married in 92 when I was 33. This album came out a week before our wedding. We drove out to Calfornia, we live in Iowa. 2 weeks. This played (AUTOMATIC FOR THE PEOPLE) about half the time we were in the car. My wife passed away about 5 years ago. Still think of her deeply when I hear any of this album. Especially NIGHT SWIMMING. Miss you Teresa.

I am 75 years old, and I didn't pay much attention to R.E.M. in the day, even though I lived only a few miles from Athens, GA. I was more into the B52s. I have rediscovered R.E.M. and their songs. They produced such great music. You never know how your attitudes will change as you get older. I wish I had seen them live.

R.E.M.

[@joshtrigsted9912]

Their songwriting at its best had that quality of making you think you're on the cusp of grasping something life changing. It's a rare and precious quality. All I can say is listen to Murmur from start to finish. All the songs have this quality from start to finish even though Stipe's voice at the time was a literal murmur and it's almost impossible to understand what he's saying and even when you can the meaning is impenetrable. It's the feeling that matters anyway.

Loved this song since I first heard it as a teenager in the 70's, but didn't really get the profundity of the lyrics back then. I do now, & they make more sense with every listen. As visceral & prophetic as any song ever written, & as artfully delivered as anything by Lou Reed or Bob Dylan. David was an international treasure, & sadly missed.

​ @Gaelicgirl☘☘ Absoloootly! Amazing range and so haunting. I'd never listened to R.E.M. before and a friend introduced me about 30 years ago. I was never going to escape the spell after the that summer - we used to go onto the common ground overlooking Cowes (Isle of Wight) seafront and sit there listening to a few of the albums on a ghettoblaster. We'd always drop ecstasy (White Dove) and just listen all night 'till them batteries were no more, in love with the music, in love with the surroundings in the wee morning hours, the sea rippling gently and _Night Swimming_ or _Orange Crush_ guiding us gently 'till the sun came up. And in love with each other. That instant psychic group love that MDMA allows you to shortcut into :) Ah those days, I'd give anything to be able to recapture them and the unrequited love I suffered with the amazing girl who introduced me not only to the songs of REM, but also *how* to listen to that great music :)

REM & The B-52s both from Athens, GA and both incredible bands. Stipe's voice and gentle nature always floored me. So many 80's tunes that just hit.

R.E.M deserves to be in the best Top 10 bands ever . They made so much great music that will remain fresh and timeless in 2050 and beyond

[@richardcharney1559]

I definitely agree with you! Maybe one of the top 5 bands of all time.

[@FragmentedR_YT]

Thomas Fleming they don’t consider REM one of the greatest bands ever only because of this song. REM has so many other far better songs (I like this song, but you definitely aren’t wrong). I’d absolutely recommend listening to So. Central Rain if you want something of theirs that I think is genuinely fantastic.

[@josejoaoramirodafonseca6350]

No doubt one of the best bands ever.

[@christineb2148]

I love the story of the song: Stipe struggled to find the right words and was against the clock because the album was due soon. Instead of working through it in the studio, the band took a few days off, during which Stipe listened to the track on a cassette in his rental car until he found inspiration. "When we reconvened, Michael walked into the studio, sang, 'Man On The Moon' once, and walked out," Peter Buck said in the In Time compilation. "We were all stunned. It was one of those magic moments I'll remember long after the award ceremonies and the photo sessions have disappeared into the mists of time."

I truly believe God gives us football for entertainment baseball dragracing NASCAR great movies great actors great music.

There is somethng about REM that will always resonate with certain people. A fresh, clean and distinctive melodic sense, subtle but skilled musicianship, memorable lyrics that are mysterious yet sincere. Michael Stipe's beauty and sensitivity, his physicality and outsider mentality. Political/social principles not forced on the audience, but always present. And also the fact that they called it a day before any of that started to feel stale and repetitive, and returned to lower profile lives in humility and gratitude. Will there ever be another music act like that again? I doubt it.

Well said - and I kind of resented them as a teenager in the 90s. Getting older isn't always bad.
