When Stipe misses his cue at 1:48 for the tag line, you can see Mike Mills quietly whispering the words ("And waste another year"). Then Stipe sheepishly smiles at his miscue and carries on. The gaff actually makes this video more endearing.

Didn't notice that before (and you're right, makes it fun). Looks like Mike was whispering his lyrics the whole way through, so Stipe's omission just stood out a bit more there - and his grin really captured the moment.

I was pretty sure I heard Mike's voice harmonizing in this song and that helped me figure out it was an REM song I was hearing for the first time. I heard a different rendering of the song, more heavily produced, and it was very hard to recognize who the band was, who the lead singer was. In this version, I immediately knew it was REM . Great song!

Used to cover this song w my band at Rollins College(X Club), 92 or so - I'm a drummer. In 2000 I was hanging out w Mike Mills late night after some drinks at my place in Atlanta - told him we'd played this song many times live - along w Driver 8, One I love... He was dating a girl friend of mine from school at the time, Brooke . Super nice guy, Mike was. It was about 2am, we were smoking a cigarette on my porch - he seemed to like the idea that we covered some of their music. I liked that he liked it, honestly. He's a gracious, kind and warm individual. I hung out w him maybe a half dozen times - only once talked about REM with him, it was that night. Before, I didn't want to sound like a douchy fan even though I was and still am a huge REM fan. What a swell fellow - my best to Mike Mills. Fond memories of hanging out for a bit in the 90's. Yes, the 90's - if you weren't there for it, I'm sorry but you'll never understand. No cell phones, no social media - just present people living present lives. Interesting people - records, books, instruments, shows, coffee, drinks, talking about these things with no 'audience' other than those who were present and no desire to expand upon it beyond that. I wouldn't trade it for youth - not todays' youth - not if I couldn't have experienced those times. Thrilled I had it then, happy to ride it out from here - lots of peace and love, y'all 🙂

I heard this song on my radio this morning. It was a different version, not this bare bones style. It was the first time I'd ever heard this song and I really liked it. In the recording I heard on my radio , it was very hard to recognize who was singing. It was more heavily produced, like an album cut. I'm pretty good at recognizing bands and singers and lead quitarists, and I had a fairly good idea I was hearing some EARLY REM . I couldn't wait to hit utube and type in what I thought the song title might be. SURE ENOUGH! I was right. Micheal Stipe with HAIR early! Now in this pared down acoustic rendition I knew immediately it was REM. How did I miss this little beauty for all these years? Very cool finding this tune and then seeing this great video of the band. Awesome! I love playing musical trivia with myself and I must boast a little that I am VERY good at it. I've not met too many people that are as good as I am. I am so sure of myself that I once bet my original 1987 Pontiac Firebird GTA against a guy with a brand new Corvette Stingray. I won. It was a sweet win! I'm 68 and live and breathe music from The Beatles to Death Metal to Grunge, everything from 1964 and on to today. Anyway, great present whenever I find a great new song or some new steller artist.

Don't go back to Yountville or any town that ends with a ville. I love Michael Stipes Jumbo Guitar/Percussion Instrument.

Transports me back to a sunny day in the south - even though I never experienced one. Great thing about music is that is has that kind of power. REM will live in my mind with grace forever.

Je suis fan de REM, et j'adore cette version, super groupe, pourquoi ont-ils arrêté les concerts? heureusement que youtube est là pour nous permettre d'assister à leurs shows. Jeunes ou moins jeunes ils sont géniaux. On ne s'en lasse pas.

J’ai passé une année en France quand j’étais jeune et j’ai enseigné cette chanson dans mes cours d’anglais au lycée. ❤

r.e.m. started to lose me around 1987 when they sold out...
@edvonblue9 жыл бұрын
The 60s and the 80s/90s were two very different periods, but in both eras selling out (to me) meant tailoring your music for mass appeal in order to make money. By the 80s, when a band signed to a big label so that they could reach more people having pressure from corporate folks came with the territory. Band members shouldn't be thinking about how many units a song is going to move while creating a song.

Roflmao. Me too my friend. In mind I thought I was the shizzle in college back in the 80's. God take me back to those years. Great music, great health and extreme optimism. What the heck happened? I know. Time passed and I got older.

For the sake of this super fan that has listened since 1980. Just reunite!
