R.E.M. - Drive (Official HD Music Video)

[@ennoch]

My 13th birthday gift from my dad was a Sony walkman and the 'Automatic for the People' album. Nothing hit different like drifting off to sleep with that playing on my walkman.

[@michaeldavis146]

I painted a duplex , my mom got screwed over by some painters , they took the payment and ran . So I told her I wanted a Walkman to listen to automatic for the people , while I painted the duplex , that was my payment a Sony Walkman to listen to automatic for the people. There was a time I was a good son . It was funny my son Joey helped me paint the house like 20 years later getting it ready for gram to sell it . Another free paint job .

Great album! When I was 13 I drifted to sleep with a stereo combo, which included a phonograph which automatically shut the whole thing down at the end of a record. Soothing and convenient...

My boyfriend , my soul mate, passed away 6 months ago unbelievably suddenly. It’s insane that someone can walk out the door one morning, and you’ll never see them again. He loved this song. He had eclectic music taste and played R.E.M. a lot. He loved this song. My favorite memories are of him and I sitting and listening to music and talking. I don’t myself connecting with many people to be honest. He and I could talk about anything for hours, even after 13 years together. This is the first time I’ve listened to this song since it happened.

As a Muslim from the Middle East, it is through the brilliantly crafted songs of R.E.M that I first became exposed to the greatness of Western culture. R.E.M songs remind me of the happy times of my childhood when optimism ruled the day. Things have changed for the worse since then, but I will always have R.E.M hits to fall back on. Thank you Michael Stipe for brilliant works of art! I'll be forever grateful.

Automatic for the People was 1 of the great albums of the 90s. R.E.M. at the top of their game. Profound, emotionally driven & brutally honest.

[@shawnmichael2593]

I remember being like 13 when MTV released that video. I remember watching it with my uncle who was 41. He said " Shawn I'm not old! " I thought , your old dude. Now I'm 41. And screaming " I'm not old!!

[@kingdeadpool20]

your not old I'm 12 and I like this stuff

I'm with you. I'm still 12 in my soul. My body just on another timeline

[@lolamagenta]

A really haunting song and no one finds nuances to a note like Michael Stipe. The freedom of crowd surfing combined with lyrics telling us to be free is brilliant for this video. It is one of my favorites from REM.

It would be interesting to hear Stipe's thoughts on those lyrics. To me it seems to suggest the kids are not free, but are given the illusion of freedom. Especially in the line - "Maybe I'll ride, maybe you walk, maybe I drive to get off, baby." In other words those really driving the direction of the world get off on their power over others, while kids are encouraged to be rebellious and rock n roll and feel free as long as they don't get in the way of the drivers.

R.E.M's songs appear to grow with me. While these songs meant various things to me when I was younger, they signify something new now that I'm 40. It's like a philosophy book that delves deeper and deeper.

[@tateyambrose7290]

Hauntingly brilliant, and one of the most underrated guitar songs of all tine.

[@redskies4530]

Hi I recommend checking out a song and video called 'Where I Come From' By Robert Nix

[@NickNxNx]

I haven't heard this in decades. Memories of being a young teenager. Goosebumps. What a haunting, beautiful track.

[@heiketheis7738]

👍... All it is ❤️... From Germany, 🙏💕

[@richardbernido6977]

One of the best music videos from one of the best 90's bands

[@jaym9623]

If it wasn't for Losing My Religion, this would be the best R.E.M. song ever made

John Paul Jones string arrangements coming in at the absolute perfect times takes this song to another level

JPJ did the arrangement on this song? Didn't know that.

[@mariamaltesegould4990]

I’m so sorry. Loss is profoundly heavy. Music has helped me through my grief

[@שמחהמיכאליקלגל]

A band with a tremendous volume of sound and music always vibrates my heart every day I must hear one of their songs in love with them.

[@luisfilipedeftones]

Que música, que época, alguém precisa criar a máquina do tempo.

[@marcd73]

"Drive" is their masterpiece, "What's The Frequency, Kenneth" is their zenith, and "Imitation of Life" is their triumph.

[@dashx1103]

Oddly "Voice of Harold" is their most surprising success. How does that song possibly work? It shouldn't ... but they made it brilliant.

[@timothymattson5369]

I heard this on the radio about ten years ago, and thought "Neat song". Then it grew on me, and grew on me, and I became obsessed. I bought the song back then, and I still can't stop listening to it.

[@RTerrence]

The beginning of one of the finest rock albums ever created.

[@cadavher]

Glad that new shows introduce great music to the younger generations. Was pleasantly surprised to hear this opening goosebumps.

[@tedmosby9409]

My mum loves this band I have loads of memories with R.E.M playing in background. They grew on me literally

[@thewalrus5878]

The 90s were an amazing time to be a teenager. It was the music but also a movement. Kids today have no idea.

[@jaganboson]

As a twenty year old also.

[@tonyr3557]

VERY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! The most beautiful REM song in my opinion. It will always remain BEAUTIFUL !!!

[@TrickyRickyDicky]

I feel that way about EVERYBODY HURTS too

[@doncook2054]

Rediscovered REM just two weeks ago; Drive was the first song i listened to ... then, for the first time in eight years, was able to write poetry again.

[@lkhkjgh]

I'm really happy, that you started write again! God bless you! This song is near to perfect. Nothing should be perfect, cause if it's perfect, the thing can't change anything, and this song always change me so happily!

[@kayleighpiercy9658]

Maybe yur crazy in da head

[@fabiogasperini4809]

We're all crazy in the head. This song is calling all of us, listen to it over and over and over, never get tired.

[@kathymyers7279]

[@Filibie]

God that's powerful stuff indeed. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. God bless

[@SmartWentCrazy]

Damn I miss the 90s

[@Adrian-vt1rm]

This song stirs up so many emotions for me. One of the greatest songs of all time ❤

[@kakhak]

What an impossibly gifter band, musician ,songwriter, lyricist... This is out of this world. Absolutely the best.

I was 15 years old, the album was one of the gifts for my sixteenth birthday. 😢

[@mal0u111]

this was filmed beautifully. i’m still in awe decades later ❤️

[@dagenceto]

With some friends we had a band in the high school back in the 1993, and when we played this song in front of the whole school mates and teachers, their reaction was just to stare with open moutnts during the performance and all steyed quiet and remeined silent for a few minutes after that. I love my memories with R.E.M. a lot.

[@sea80vicvan]

The first song I heard off Automatic For The People, and for me one of their best songs. Everything meshes together so well, from Michael's lyrics and vocals to Peter, Mike and Bill's instrumentals to John Paul Jones' magisterial string arrangement (the unsung genius in Led Zeppelin). I know Everybody Hurts and Man On The Moon are the songs usually referenced when speaking of Automatic, but this set the overall mood and tone of that record much better. A big part of the sound of 1992.

[@crissybrown705]

Im here because this the first song playing in the new goosebumps series. Incredible piece of music.
