Mike Mills' background singing is one of the best things about this great song. Still funny that some people think this is a love song, and some actually play it at their weddings.

[@paoloantonio1531]

I hope I never attend a wedding with that song playing in the background, it'd be too weird, almost uncomfortable

[@Bradgilliswhammyman]

There is something very mystical and transendant about REM's songs. It reaches decades into the future and stirs in people something that is often dormant.

[@-endi]

Yes, great comment

[@696cerberus]

Michael's voice and R.E.M. will remain in our hearts forever.

[@shadowknight9807]

Mike Mills - background vocals - add a lot to many of their songs. Unique and beautiful!

[@gilbertotrevino7516]

I love the band and this is my favorite song from R.E.M.... I have a lots of years listen this song and I never got tired of that.... I think this is the best played music on a song... I got special feel about the one I love

[@chmick50]

Bill Berry’s unibrow raise at 2:12 is everything. Exceptional

[@AineSabine]

This is the first REM song I heard when I was in 7th grade. Forever changed my music course. Thank you.

[@l.nunndavid8284]

This song does NOT sound 80s at all, it sounds timeless.... Bill has the best unibrow in music. Michael's voice and R.E.M. will remain in our hearts forever. Wow. It really takes me back hearing and seeing this. Just awesome.

[@michaeldonovan3959]

This is great footage to jar memories of youth!

[@detonator82]

Love this version, especially the intro!

[@Craigm711]

There’s something so captivating about Michael’s voice on this song, so effortless, it draws you in. It’s so timeless, this could have been recorded yesterday.

[@utubediegolara]

Life passes by and I keep digging that song as much as I did back in the days

[@RT060789]

I have seen REM live twice.This song is always a live highlight. It is also great when they play the really early songs. The folks who know the early (Murmur,Reckoning etc.etc) are the hardcore fans. I will miss this band. Thank you REM!!!

[@bhuvidya]

Their first 5 albums are one of the greatest runs in rock music history I reckon. Still love them all, 30 years later.

[@mattgilbert7347]

IRS years are the best! From Chronic Town to Document. Green was the last great album they did

[@mattgilbert7347]

Such a dark and misunderstood song. I remember couples playing this at their weddings! If only they knew what it really meant....

[@danpearce4547]

Favourite version of this song.

[@ubujacks]

I love you REM, you have helped me through the toughest times of my life. You will help me through the tougher times in life too. Thank you !!!!

[@ddrover2243]

Great tune...I never tire hearing it...

[@orangeyeliner]

For me this song is like about one looking for love. Possibly having too much of love, but not completely sharing it, maybe for a fear. Sadly, not appreciating love given by others, and all anguished, regreting for such behaviour, yet running in this circle. This song became hit not without the reason. Not all songs have to be sweet melodies. Love R.E.M. for the diversity of themes of their songs and how the whole song or a line of it can have a big and often different meaning for many people.

[@joebaxley1503]

REM, the Smith's, Depeche Mode, and the Cure were the best bands of the 80s

[@smileforeleanorfrancis]

Michael Stipe looks so badass in this video.

[@dez1989]

He said that he took this look from David Byrne from the Talking Heads. He just changed his hair style and put som black under his eyes to make it edgier. It's a good look on him.

[@totallyremiss]

Yes 👍

[@GodslaveRocks]

I love that version of my second-favorite REM song (behind Texarkana)!

[@nagygyurisirina]

thank you for this beautiful music.is new for me,today i saw first time this video.you know,i am 64 today,but i feel me as somebody with 40.i like the music very much,and i think,the music can make longest my life...the best gift from God for the humanity is the music,and without music the life is nonsens.

[@KevlarVTX]

Peter Buck, underrated guitar player

[@bneyens]

Not if you ask Peter Buck

[@oehoe]

Indeed. So are Rickenbacker guitars.

[@RT060789]

Best version

[@IQof20]

[@Nevets1073]

I love the guitar solo in this song. It's a great all around R.E.M. song, it fires on all cylinders.

[@christianbelanger621]

Love this version. Slow picked intro, then boom, drums and we're off to the race

[@koenigwell]

REM you were and will remain the soundtrack of my life. Thank you.

[@lindaflynn68]

Listening in 2021 still an amazing song and band 💜

[@Hoxeyville57]

Hair style has changed, microphones have changed. What hasn't changed is that is still a great song.

[@kedgwell]

It's great to see a nice high quality live recording of this on KZbin.

[@charlesdjones1]

This rendition is much better than the latter years where it was heavier.

[@SandG89]

This one goes out to the one I love..!!!

[@bernie_smith]

Saw them on this tour, Manchester UK, including the metal tubular zed chair Mike used for percussion, did it have its own flight case!!!? Tour film is my favourite live band video, perfect songs and Stipey such a showman!!!!! You just know that they love and care about each other too!!

[@earlcampbell8927]

Bernie Smith I saw them twice on the Document tour, which was a total trip because::: They had JUST exploded into a bigger level of radio hits, so we saw them in a large arena in Cleveland (18,000ish)... Where many in attendance were youngsters who only knew a couple hits; and many sat looking bored for 90% of the show. The large arena crowd lacked excitement. THEN we decided to see them when they came around to a small arena on the _campus_ at Dayton... The crowd was on FIRE, knowing every song. Amazing show!

[@somethingyettocome]

I just love Bucks guitarwork! Simple, maybe...but not really. Just really unique and atmospheric

[@KevinJohnson-ws1nh]

I saw them on the Green Tour in Memphis in 1989.

[@mattwilliam4803]

so did I !! At the amphitheatre. Got a t-shirt.

[@seanmcd72]

Saw them open the tour in Louisville!

[@bullfrog1954]

Really brings back memories! This old frog was still able to hop around when this song came out, and images of back then pop in my head! I'm normally not too big on live cuts-they almost never sound like the record! But this is great, considering that! All live stuff sounds great in person, but taking it to a video or album takes a special talent to maintain the live feeling! Not a bad effort here! Classic!

[@RastaSaiyaman]

I miss Michael Stipe's voice, the man should make a comeback.

[@kevinharris6484]

Rem defined a large part of my life. Thank you

[@valeriewilliamson6544]

I like this version. alot of slower and you can understand the words.

[@dexadrinepancake]

I saw them at Savannah Civic on the Green tour in '89. Stipe kept teasing the audience with "this one goes out to...Westinghouse for polluting the Savannah River and this one goes out to... but they never played this song.

[@oldwight]

Takes me back to the Green World Tour in fact! They didn't play this track at the show I went to, and I was disappointed, but what a fine gig it was.

[@acercade439]

2021 R.E.M

[@jimmycerf]

Awesome!

[@Jasy1988gr]

thank you

[@orangeyeliner]

The 1st time I heard it, I was surprised R.E.M. could write such song. The line 'a simple prop to occupy my time' was really offensive, conflicting to the 1st line that makes a listener to be ready to hear a sweet song. I was like: how can someone you love be a simple prop? Kind of love song, kind of not. When R.E.M. play it live, it seems kind of appropriate song: it's sung to this audience, then to other and so on. It's very impressive hearing the whole audience sing it along with the band.

[@UNITEWAD]

Classic.

Bill has the best unibrow in music. Tune in TONIGHT for an action packed episode of DEPUTY at 9/8c on FOX! This song does NOT sound 80s at all, it sounds timeless....

[@jangodreams]

The guitar is supposed to be very dominant in this kind of rock. It's like the sounds that Tom Petty makes with his guitar. Fantastic song...and fantastic performance. Rock 'n Roll ain't supposed to be perfect.

[@earlcampbell8927]

gordy hanson Interesting- -both tom petty and REM consider The Byrds as a primary influence

[@AmyDSRQ]

Often misinterpreted as a love song, this is just the opposite. Michael Stipe describes this song as about using people over and over. It's deceptive because it could be a love song until the line, "A simple prop to occupy my time." Songfacts

[@matthewstetson711]

Yeah, you'd think that there wouldn't be so many stories about couples having this as their very own special love song but people hear what they wanna hear. Never liked it much because it sounds to me like formula REM and the lyrics are very uninspiring. And the twist of 'Another/a simple prop' did not save it for me. I suppose I was hoping they would 'make it big' with a better tune. This made it into the Top Ten and that still astonishes me.

[@earlcampbell8927]

Amy D Gotta wonder about the lack of brain power in someone who thinks it’s a love song. “... the one I’ve left behind... a simple prop...”

[@dez1989]

People often don't really listen enough. Most hear "one I love" and they just go with it. People blow my mind. Michael often stated that this song is a very vicious song. Most people are simply pop music lovers. They aren't deep enough to dig in to a song. Even though you don't have to dig in too deep to know that this one cuts. But to pop music lovers this sounds poppy, slightly melancholic yet fluffy to them. However that Rickenbacker that Peter plays can cut to the bone.

[@AsafYus]

More from this tour!

[@Fakename70]

I think their best days in the studio were ahead of them, but, for me, they were never able to top this tour as a live act.

[@anaamore1097]

Lov =

[@raya5090]

A simple song with nothing much to it no Deep lyrics seemingly no deep meaning but stands the test of time and sounds fresh no matter when you hear it.

[@earlcampbell8927]

Ray A Maybe not deep, but strangely satisfying for its shock value. Who else would write those lyrics... “you were just a prop” But aside from lyrics, the 4 instruments (including voice) were arranged so well in this band... (I never really gave a crap about words😁)

[@josefinebliss2801]

You'd have to be shallow and lazy not paying attention if you think it has no meaning. It's not even hard to decipher. It's about using people over and over... seeing them as nothing but props... Stipe has even said so himself because somehow there are people taking it as a love song. I guess a song only needs to contain the word "love" for people to think it's a love song.

[@TheMusicalElitist]

Bill Berry doesn’t get enough credit as a drummer

[@TrashBabe0705]

orangeyeliner because it supposed to be about drugs. or 'a drug'. or sth. and not about 'loving a person'. at least that's what i've read not so long ago. and I also used to think it's dedicated to certain someone. that's why? it makes sense ...
