Lyric video by Nir Ben Jacob

[@ryanvelasco297]

Thank you The Bear for introducing me to R.E.M. They are a genre of music I never knew existed for all my 21 years of existence. Thanks a lot.❤

[@joncotton8021]

If you like this listen to Out of Time. The whole album is good stuff.

[@ryanvelasco297]

@@joncotton8021 thanks, I have saved the playlist.

[@sharont8723]

Automatic For The People is great as well. This was the follow up to Out Of Time. The albums from the 80's have some great singles to be sure, but are a bit uneven. Early 90's they hit a real creative peak. I find this one to be really cohesive in tone and quality... every track's memorable.

[@mikesenger2202]

You didn't even know about "Losing My Religion?" That one still plays all the time on my radio stations.

[@taticosta1469]

it's a pitty that the youth will never know what it is radio for real

[@aeonquiz3251]

The Bear brought me here. Thank you, Jeff.

[@katyaalbescu3913]

Thank you The Bear for including this masterpiece

[@CitizenJake]

I think after Everybody Hurts, this has to be one of the most beautiful and precious tracks that R.E.M. has ever recorded

[@NeilMascarenhas1]

Sweetness follows, Find the River too!

[@kingsakoil]

The first time I saw R.E.M. was at a bar in New Jersey in 1984 during the.. Reckoning tour...27 years later, their music still gives me chills....fantastic song!

[@xxmickeyzeroxx]

Folkish with an italian vibe. It's both depressive and incouraging all at once. This is REM delivering a beautiful taste of fine wine to our table. Drink it up.

[@hernanpez12]

The kids have a new take A new take on faith Pick up the pieces Get carried away I came home to a city half erased I came home to face what we faced This place needs me here to start This place is the beat of my heart

[@fabulous.one.moolah]

The melodic manner with which the music coalesces with Stipe's incredible singing is unrivaled. That damn mandolin touches my cerebral senses in places I never knew existed. This is music. Welcome back REM - we missed you!!

[@ealing456]

"The storm didn't kill me.. the government changed." I LOVE it when bands write follow up songs to previous ones. :')

[@whb1965]

the mark of a great band is the ability to re-invent itself as times and peoples tastes change.. R.E.M. is one of the best to continue to do this.. great job guys..30 years and still crankin em out...

[@johnnyflipp]

The most amazing thing about this tune.. Its written for New Orleans with katrina etc... Hell of a way to retire R.E.M. We the fans will love your music for the REST of our lives!

[@stipey2]

The best song I've heard so far. REM never cease to amaze me, they continue to produce the most amazing music. Anyone that knocks them and says they haven't been the same since Berry left, or since Automatic are talkng rubbish. REM evolve and thats why I love them. REM could probably just fart on an album and it would still sound great.

[@Silberfuchs1982]

Still listening to this song... this place is the beat of my heart.

[@Pathfinder2708]

People saying R.E.M. has seen its best days need only listen to this piece of music. They sound brilliant and I can't wait for the album to come out.

[@Silberfuchs1982]

I know what this song is actually about. But for me it’s a song about how vulnerable we really are. It’s something I always wanted to cry out… Oh my heart… it's so special, it's so true.

[@AnAvailibleUsername]

R.E.M, this music world still needs you here!

[@takethechance7422]

Here because of The Bear 💙

[@Astronaut79]

The more I listen to this song the more I feel touched with a knot in my throat. Mike Stipe is a great poet besides a powerful rocker...his voice is dark and warm so that every concept and word is underlined with strenght. The most genial phrase is the one referred to "Houston", as other people already said, "the storm didn't kill me, the government changed". I'm looking forward to buy the new album. Saluti dall'Italia...

[@ulisescayetano3003]

The kids have a new take, a new take on faith Pick up the pieces, get carried away. I came home to a city half-erased. I came home to face what we faced. This place needs me here to start This place is the beat of my heart Oh my heart Oh my heart (Oh my heart) Oh my heart Oh my heart (Oh my heart) The storm didn't kill me, the government changed Hear the answer and call, hear this song, rearranged. Hear the trees, the ghosts and the buildings, sing. With the wisdom to reconcile this thing. It's sweet and it's sad and it's true. How it doesn't look bitter on you. Oh my heart Oh my heart (Oh my heart) Oh my heart Oh my heart (Oh my heart) Mother and father, I stand beside you The good of this world might help see me through This place needs me here to start. This place is the beat of my heart. Oh my heart Oh my heart (Oh my heart) Oh my heart Oh my heart (Oh my heart) Oh my heart Oh my heart (Oh my heart) Oh my heart Oh my heart

[@netzde]

Thank you R.E.M. I will never foget you!!! What wonderfull 31 years! 'the skill in attending a party is knowing when it's time to leave.' Leaving R.E.M never easy, I saw the light fading out. Find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart, Find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart. I told you, forever, I love you, forever, forever, forever...

[@keegan5137]

Thanks The Bear for showing me this banger

[@emmettmckenna4565]

What an amazing track. I kinda got away from R.E.M. for a long while. “Document” was the last album I purchased by them when it first came out. But a few years back, I bought a double disc compilation of theirs and there are maybe two songs that I don’t absolutely love. The rest of it is brilliant and this track was a new and wonderful discovery for me. Oh, my heart. Oh, my heart. Oh, my heart!!!

[@HakimALIGHT]

THIS is R.E.M. !!! This tune is absolutely wonderful ! I don't understand why people are being so harsh with the new material...

[@theyself]

As a long time R.E.M. fan (I discovered them in the early 80's), I'm very excited about this album. From the things I've heard, it's the first R.E.M. album in a while that I will take to immediately and naturally rather than finding myself trying to like it.

[@losingmyreligion6767]

deffinetally the greatest song ive heard off this album so far.

[@CrazyCat9898]

The song is so great. The voice is beautiful, oh my heart...

[@whb1965]

i was driving around athens ga. today, playing r.e.m. really loud with my windows down and a bunch of ga college students where changing classes and crossing the street in front of me, they all gave me the thumbs up and where screaming R.E.M... damn what a scene...lol

[@MultiSpitha]

great song... fits the strange times we are in. All my friends want to leave seaking of a better future. I wish them the best, with this song. It's bitter, it's sad, but is true~

[@fahimtushar]

The bear :D

[@shittygamer5425]

Thank you The Bear! Thank you REM! Oooh my Heart

[@HoneyAndUsaChan]

...I randomly typed "oh" in google search to check if i had internet connection. This was one of the suggestions. This is awesome. :D Google ftw~.

[@squigg2k7]

FANTASTIC SONG!!! i heard this for the first time a few hours ago...glad i was listening to the words blaring from those speakers!!!

[@REMUruguayAlcides]

impresionante !! maravilloso!! exelente!! ellos son mis REM

[@mondruokmoon]

When we think good music has gonne, bands like R.E.M. come to give us some hope!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jakeryan2425]

Can’t believe I’ve never heard this. Glad I heard it on The Bear tonight ❤️ beautiful song

[@MostlyLoveOfMusic]

Gonna be one of the top albums of the year !

[@patricia382]

Just wonderful😊

[@Keolas_multiverse]

This song is amazing shout out to the 🐻

[@dw1200-w6d]

I can’t stand R.E.M. Until my buddy turned me on to ‘The Bear’. This song caught my ear. Fuuuucccckkkkkk it’s unbelievable. Love it when my old ideas get destroyed.

[@cristianpacheco5034]

ohhhh my heart I loved R.e.m !!!!!!! ♡♥

[@Wagons-Rule]

It's what I love about REM.

[@expansoes]

great! this place is the beat of my heart...

[@ondra159]

This album is R.E.M's most precious after superior Automatic for the People.

[@hoopernatorial]

The start of the song reminds me a lot of the start of Disappear, which isn't a bad thing since Reveal was a great album. Looking forward to this one!

[@treasurehunt27]

this place needs me here to start this place is the beat of my heart this is how i see this song :)

[@helenmagalhaes1368]

I Love your voice. I live In Uberlândia. Brazil.

[@yepeste]

.....Estoy seguro que una de las mejores bandas del mundo......va sacar un disco increible.......y lo que hemos visto......es muy bueno.......y seguramente el album sera guiado por el mismo camino.....larga vida R.E.M.........

[@rhinolopha2002]

WOW.... it´s a great great song! I hear it AND I feel it! Awesome.

[@NilsHerrmann]

Amazing! One of the Best Songs!

[@MartinDelCarpio]

love this song!

[@stbr68]

Glad to see they've brought back the mandolin!!

[@razormusik]

Reminds me a lot of Sing For The Submarine. Also liking the Houston reference.

[@remnrone]

i love the reference to Houston in the second verse :)

[@boognish94]

this song is definitely about the city of New Orleans and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. So far it's the best song on the album

[@1ErnestoVerdugo1]

Top ten bands of all time! Where are u Bill Berry?

[@lugrandgg]

This music make me feel.

[@frostipagan]

Sadly beautiful.

[@tectonicD]

I hated this song when I first heard it but it's been growing on me. This happens each time R.E.M. releases a new album. One great thing about their music is you often have to invest some time, occasionally dozens of re-plays until you "get it". The pay off is much more rewarding than the instantly catchy, radio friendly crap, that the legions of suburban American zombies seem to enjoy feeding on. The radio stations would go out of business if the had to play legitimate music like this!

[@nikishin2012]

THIS POETRY SO EMOTIONAL...

[@themooddisorders]

Direct in music and words, but not quite! Excellent

[@nueve08]

Since I already listened to Discoverer, It happened today and this beautiful song Oh my heart... ]I understand now that "Accelerate" (2008) was just a bridge that R.E.M. built (in a great way btw) in order to arrive here... where they recorded "Collapse into now".... Quote my words... "R.E.M. is about to give us another classic album with CIN just next to Automatic for the people, Out of time and Murmur

[@erickpaulino]

It sounds like a prayer

[@anuragsharma9132]

It's sweet.... And Its sad..... And its true

[@subwaygoddess1]

What a beautiful song ✌️💙

[@PlaceboMode]

@traitor0837 That's it! My brain is about to go to sleep and I was trying to remember what song it was. Thanks.

[@sljohnsen1727]

Looove!

My hart missing too,now Im happy.

[@mariosanchez5796]

The Bear brought me here 🐻

[@Issicra]

Very nice

[@xxmickeyzeroxx]

@nicholsjoshua15 I love "Try Not To Breathe. I can see you're point and look forward to the new album. Take care and have a happy new year.

[@azzurraone]

very nice !!!!!

[@miroslavskoglio9751]

Ciao belli REM ♥️ I LOVE IT 🫂🎩🎼🥰

[@Trinity61]

Heard this song in a commercial for the University of Georgia, was very nice.

[@samadi713]

@top20modernrock You are absolutely correct. I think the Prince show was probably the best halftime show ever. I was a big Prince fan back in the day and I was hoping his show at the bowl would show everyone what a great performer he is and he did exactly that. Other bands I think deserve a shot at playing the bowl are COLDPLAY and MUSE. Also, LIVE if they ever decide to get back together again. I saw them about 10 times over the years and their shows always are great crowd pleasers.

[@makeupdude]

Awesome... very reminiscent to Antony and the Johnsons style.

[@samadi713]

@top20modernrock I agree. It's funny because I was just thinking the same thought this morning and then I saw this post. It is only right that REM gets a chance to do this. I have followed them since the beginning and they will always be on my favorite bands list.

[@qclod]

cool music video

[@fitzfabtrick]

loves R.E.M

[@BrentSimpsonEnhance]

Ohhh, I LOVE them and you!

[@marianaagazzi6723]

Esta excelente el video.

[@michiellalove5402]

"I will always love you"

[@ADFox979]

@rollthebones18: I was thinking the same thing about this one. It's "Houston Part II." Especially with the "storm didn't kill me, the government changed" line. But I agree, I think it works well. Eagerly awaiting the release of this album. I thought Accelerate was REM's best album since Automatic, but it seems like Collapse picks up where Accelerate left off, but adds the dimension and depth that Accelerate was missing. This will be their best record in 20 years. Can't wait!

[@smcdify]

Nice job all the way round.

[@Fizzycasey]

@xxmickeyzeroxx it will be hard to top this on collapse into now...... by a mile the best off it yet, its fantastic. i spotted the Houston link too. didn't know what exactly it meant being from Ireland though. cracking song

[@carmenastrid]

beautiful! lindo! obrigada!

[@beatear]

the storm didnt kill me and the government changed from that other song where he says if the storm doesnt kill me, the government will :) i love it when they do that in songs :D

[@U2BestBandEver]

Could be my favourite Song from the new album by far. Great piece of music - but the intro should be longer!

[@nicholsjoshua15]

@xxmickeyzeroxx It some how reminds me of Try Not To Breath, mixed with World Leader Pretend, all I have to say is brilliant work.

[@MrXeqt]

This is on par with Automatic for the people, wich i found to be the first album of any kind of music with a whole cd with not a single average or bad song.

[@1712anita]

The best.....

[@delboy20091]

@alidadban I agree it's an ace song i cant believe they haven't released them as cd singles they'd have sold more.
