REM- "Losing My Religion" on Countdown 1991

[@robbiepeterh]

I love how the crowd are just like “yeah, this is the new REM song. It’s really cool!” and little do they know it will go on to be one of the greatest songs of all time.

Great song..R.E.M excellent band Can't stop listening to it

[@norbertoairizarrycruz5141]

Impressive how he delves into his interpretation!!! You live the song, you feel it to such an extent that it touches your soul in every verse, in your heart.😊

[@natalieps2387]

This song is a great example of something that hits huge & u dont know why. Like a phenomenon , right place right time something u cant put ur finger on. R.e.m. had college radio success & a huge cult following . Then this song was 5 min long ( most commercial hits are under 4 min ) theirs no chorus & it has a mandolin. This song blew up. From feb 91 to Sept 91 it played over & over . It's a great song but it was shocking the public took to it so much. The video as well won like 6 mtv awards & was def not the mtv kind of video. They capped their year of with 4 Grammys. Imagine kicking around busting ur butt for 10 years then u finally decide no promotion ( no tour) after touring every album. To me a song like this is something In the stars.

[@markchoate9021]

Just plain ole good music. thanks REM

[@RonanSmith-wn5zl]

Just like the studio version. Love it

[@williamgrissom9022]

Perhaps their best performance and one of the earliest. The instruments and lyrics flow together perfectly. A young Michael Stipe sings with emotion, which you can see in all his body motions. A unique sound, and much different than their other songs, though they do still play with rhymes, as did Nirvana.

[@mizztery2994]

What do you mean by one of the earliest? They had been around almost ten years at this point.

[@sophiegrisom]

@@mizztery2994 Major performances or just little clubs around Athens, GA?

[@stevehood444]

@@sophiegrisomREM was big in the early 80s!

[@yungng8089]

Unfortunately idk for what reason but I notice a trend with bands when they perform early in their career back in the day they have to lip sync the whole thing. This is literally just the song playing and he isnt really singing. Not denying his singing capability but thought it would be worth mentioning.

[@jonnysongs]

It's a mime performance, not a music performance, and they had probably done at least 1000 gigs by this point

[@alexlevine2522]

An amazingly innovative piece for of songwriting. It builds and builds, creating tension that will resolve from minor to major in a chorus that, alas, never comes.

[@jaylinn7763]

I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing isn’t the chorus?

[@violetjm]

@@jaylinn7763 - I was wondering about this too. I found this on a music site: "But “Losing My Religion” doesn’t use a chorus. It’s a verse-only structure. In many, maybe even most, songs that don’t use a chorus, they usually use a refrain, but this song barely does that." So it may be that the part you quoted is more of a refrain, which I guess is shorter than a chorus. I am not sure but I think this is the difference between a chorus and a refrain.

[@regonzalezayala]

What an extraordinary performance!

[@liamwaterman712]

Michael Stipe is without question the most beautiful man I have ever seen.

[@soulonsoul8035]

lmao this is lip synced

[@humanchannel7825]

Are you dumb

[@ZedwardHD]

@@soulonsoul8035 No, compare this to the original version you hear he articulates the words differently

[@SuperRetro64]

@@ZedwardHD Stipe always changes how he sings songs live, very rarely does his vocals sound exactly like the original recording. But this is most definitely lip synced, you can tell it’s pre-recorded by the strings that magically appear despite no cellos or anything are being played on stage.

@@ReelinInTheYears66 being familiar with the song it's obvious to me that it's lip synced. But I'm amazed at how closely Stipe is syncing it. The other question I have is why they took the trouble to have an extra guitarist, not a regular band member, when it's being lip synced?

In some shows they had to lip sync. Some of the greatest bands had to lip-sync live because they had too!! Queen, one of the best live rock bands ever did it as well and hated it. So give applause to this band. Lip-syncing happened

[@Knaeckebrotsaege]

Talk Talk used to intentionally fuck up or make it VERY obvious when they were forced to lipsync for TV (synths on show with nothing plugged in, bassist plucking along on a guitar instead of his bass, very overdone "playing" in general etc). They could play live and it sounded absolutely awesome (look up Talk Talk Montreux 1986) and they saw forcing them to lipsync as an insult and treated the performance accordingly :D
