REM - Let Me In - 1994

REM play Let Me In - 1994.

[@summersover_zero]

i came from 2024 just to hear this song again.

[@dummytree]

"Automatic for the people" is the CD that was found in the greenhouse where he died. Probably the last music Kurt ever heard.

[@kevpearson2332]

dummytree yep it was playing in the background quietly

[@JS-xz7lk]

Wasn't it the tape? I mean we could all look it up if we really wanted to... If so I've always wondered what side it was on. Speaking of which the sidewinder single and lion sleeps on the reverse .99$ thrift shop score last week @&^$ Namaste everybody peas

[@JS-xz7lk]

That feeling when you go to make the same basic comment again.

[@garrickbisogno8809]

It was playing in his bedroom. There wasn't shit in the greenhouse.

[@Chegolas]

This is one of the best R.E.M. songs out there, it's a perfect tribute to Kurt Cobain.

[@tripleA17]

This really is a beautiful song, and him playing Kurts guitar just adds to the overall sadness that makes this song so beautiful..

[@shane34lv]

Kurt wouldve liked this song , he was a huge rem fan anyways but this songs different than anything they ever did.

[@dustra5000]

+shane armendinger Also that is Kurt's Jagstang he is playing.

[@Potstan]

What a great song... Yesterday, I was at REM's show in Prague and they played this song acoustic... I've never seen anything like this before. This was the best thing ever happened to me. I'm so grateful for that!!!

[@increiblepelotudo]

Time flies. Greetings from 2022

[@martync5945]

Still listening to this in October 2023...

[@jilldinardo9061]

This song always gave me a feeling of sadness, and loss ... now I know why. R.I.P. , Kurt.

[@TheLeftyGrove]

I had a mind to try to stop you. Let me in, let me in But I've got tar on my feet and I can't see All the birds look down and laugh at me Clumsy, crawling out of my skin Crushing.

[@heidigretel]

I saw REM play Let Me In acoustic in Salzburg. I agree it was wonderful. :)

[@jsm408]

every time i hear this song i am reminded of kurt cobain and how much his music meant to me and still means to me. the fact that another one of my favorite bands wrote it makes it all the more special

[@AlanMaidanaOficial]

During this performance of "Let Me In", Mike Mills plays Kurt Cobain's guitar (upside down because Cobain was left-handed).

[@trentanderson1685]

What a stark and haunting epitaph

[@rossellacasati4383]

Si può non amarli? impossibile!!! REM MERAVIGLIOSAMENTEUNICI ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@BladesofSteel97]

A truly raw song...love it!

[@heidigretel]

i agree :))))))

[@RevenantEternal]

Kurt and Michael were working on a musical project at the time of his death but nothing was recorded. There was a recording session scheduled in Georgia with Stipe but Kurt cancelled at the last minute for obvious reasons.

[@snbORdie]

because of the bands like REM my life has started to be about something. this is hard life to life. this music make it easier. thank you.

[@zyra3244]

I never knew REM was so amazing

[@ktc67hb]

it’s got that roller rink sadness. perfect.

[@johncole3124]

We miss you Cobain

[@brettlarson3801]

This song makes me feel... and I’m so grateful for that.

[@AlvaroMev]

Last Monday this song was played acoustic!!! Amazing!! Thanks for that guys!! REM Chile fan

[@TheMusicalDeity]

wow ......such a great song .......it's hard to believe in a blink of an eye a life somebody's life can end

[@spillsndebris]

It's kinda funny how simplistic the keyboard part is, because it's this whole layer of sound and feeling

[@Junkiespop]

Transcendent man . . . stuff like this won't happen again.

[@AlGoreFan]

Love this song. Thank You.

[@bobasquid3339]

Morrissey "The More You Ignore Me The Closer I Get" ".......Oh let me in... . . let me in."

[@PunksInVegas]

This song is so haunting yet so beautiful at the same time.

[@increiblepelotudo]

I want the keyboards isolated. Just gorgeous.

[@crewger13]

great great song, drags m into it every time i listen. R.I.P. kurt.

[@jimmyfabs78]

Kurt was a big fan of Michael, R.E.M and they were friends. I believe I read something once that said Kurt and Michael were working on some songs together not to long before he died. Anyone know anything about that?

[@barbrapfeifer6900]

those were the BEST and the worst of times.

[@peterbuckisgod]

Today is R.E.M. 's 31st anniversary - its also the 17th anniversary of Kurt Kobain's death - today we are celebrating 2 icons in Music!

[@v1per187]

Thank you!

[@ShinyHappyPurple]

This song has an eerie feel to it. REM forever!

[@CristhianRodriguez84]

tan triste y tan hermosa al mismo tiempo.. de esas canciones indescriptibles que solo bandas de la talla de R.E.M. son capaz de hacer

[@mrblisterfist]

[@shotterslife]

[@PolitiekincorrectTV]

[@DeStiple1971]

Completely amazing video. Thank you so much for sharing. Where did this come from?

[@heidigretel]

Thank you for this information, I did not know this information about Kurt Cobain's guitar. :)

[@delboy20091]

@gmabsetiawan99 2 of my top bands of all time,along with oasis & the beatles ... & now beady eye :-)

[@kowtpr187]

@MsTABproductions the guitar yes, but it is strung to play right handed. It was kurt's guitar so he had to play it upside down and re string it.

[@kowtpr187]

@MsTABproductions the guitar yes, but it is strung to play right handed. It was kurt's guitar so he had to play it upside down and re string it. i mean he had to play it upside down instead of restring it...duh....oops...haha

[@heidigretel]

[@t0mm180]

Linda Daniel In the video it looks good !! The strings were invented, the guitar is played backwards ... that is Kurt's Fender jag-stang !!

[@FaithSmith81]

[@jas22]

wow-- was "monster" really from '94!!? it doesnt seem that long ago.

[@iancurtisspectre3744]

A friend of mine wasn't a fan and I played monster for him when we were tweaking and he said "they finally got it right!" They always had it right

[@jcmaybe]

[@ChristinaSpringsteen-on5vm]

This song is to Kurt

[@heidigretel]

@AlGoreFan you are very welcome :)

[@heidigretel]

@gmabsetiawan99 you are very welcome :)

[@Pathfinder2708]

@ramenxnoodles11 I read you...but if anyone had to play it it had to be R.E.M.

[@remlive92]

They ever played this song in the American Tour. p.s. thanks!

[@binzing]

Thats Kurt's custom made Jag-Stang.

[@mnky47]

why did this have to be in black in white? cheer the fuck up guys...love this band love this song rip Kurt

[@MsTABproductions]

i just noticed that the guitarist is playing it upside down.

[@clone63742]

is it weird that i tried to write a movie about kurt cobain and i used this song in it before i knew it WAS WRIITEN for Kurt?!

[@xavierf1979]

Jag-stang.

[@CatalinaSafari73]

Mike Mills is playing it upside down because it is Kurt Cobain's guitar who was left handed. Mike Mills is right handed and had to flip the gutiar in order to play.

[@didiergenin3671]

I love Rem and I know I'm gonna sound daft, but how do the lyrics relate to Cobain ? Is the song so evidently a tribute ? Do people only know that because they stated so in interviews ? Can someone explain ?

[@stonecutter2]

didier genin So anything is speculative unless taken straight from the artists' mouths, but nevertheless speculating on lyrics is what people tend to do. Anyhow, the references that most jump out to me are "I only wish that I could hear you whisper down, Mister fisherman, to a less peculiar ground." Kurt in his suicide note called himself a sad little sensitive unappreciative Pisces Jesus man. The pisces astrological sign is associated with fish. Perhaps he is Mister fisherman, that Stipe wants to hear whisper down to him? Also, "I had a mind to try and stop you" is fairly obvious. I don't think the ENTIRE set of lyrics continually references Kurt, however the song has references in it that seem to make sense. I don't consider you daft at all by the way, as I said - these things are speculative and some speculate...and some perhaps don't. I know that Stipe and Cobain, based on interviews I've seen, were considering a collaboration...and it was imminently to start, but Kurt called it off. Stipe wishes he could have just gotten together with Cobain and just had a good time, seen if he could have gotten Kurt to let him in, to let him think beyond what he was dealing with at the time (now I'm not saying this was word for word, but from what I recall of an interview).

[@KOS1Productions]

its about micheal stipes failed attempts to intervene in kurts struggle

[@didiergenin3671]

I see ... Thanks to Mike and Kos1

[@gretap4198]

Have you listen to the song? In 1:18 they literally say that the song is written about Kurt :D

[@MsTABproductions]

@PivotMakeranimations yes, i am aware.

[@Arthounot]

@clone63742 it probably had to be that way :)

[@TimV93]

0:27 Kurt's old guitar

[@kkwillsaveus]

Whose the girl at the end of the video?

[@gamingNFTs]

..but Kurt was a southpaw. that guitar (if you are refering to the one here: 0:37) is clearly right handed.

[@NicWorrell]

Who's here from 2035?

[@GigglingChinchilla]

@refrigeratedmilk Well, he's not the guitar player, he's actually the bass player, but he plays the Kurt's guitar. I don't know why they switched. The guitar player plays organ. (Coming in @ 2:05.)

[@jaythirdman]

Kurt's jagstang.
