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 .

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.

Que musica! O solo da guitarra é incrivel!

[@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

[@gustavofranciscoschierholt6095]

This was the first video clip I watched in my life. I remember as a child going through my father's things and he had a videotape that said "MTV best clips". I put it on the video player and was transfixed watching a whole new world in front of my eyes. He recorded videos directly from the TV broadcast. Pure nostalgia.

The thing about really good music is, it brings you back to a time, whether good or bad, doesnt matter always soothing.

[@racefiero14]

Well said.

[@darrylstanley-xu9ez]

One of their best songs So underrated

[@janeperkins8870]

Said it once and will repeat a thousand times.........Michael Stipe's voice is truly an instrument.....mesmerizing, hypnotic, butter, sugar and all things good pouring out of his vocal chords combined with emotion expressed with every hand and body movement.......He and Gord Downie are so much alike with their moves. Love them both

[@Adrian-vt1rm]

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

[@Will-lo7ps]

Essa música é um diferencial e não uma poluição sonora que temos hoje .

[@brighteyes8474]

Stunning song. That guitar breakdown blows me away.

[@robertocarranza1877]

El solo de guitarra es increíble, las cuerdas, la voz. Una de las mejores canciones de los noventas.

[@RenaBissonette]

Michael Stipe is a genius!! On a whole other level!

[@RTerrence]

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

[@eagan79]

Almost 2023 and still loving this song. Wish these guys would come back just one more time!

[@gessiizidoro7041]

seria maravilhoso esse retorno ..

[@benkkonzsella8544]

Amen to that bro 🎸 👍

[@egelund1976]

This was before generation X

[@kabukikommandofourthworld5266]

It's 2023, dude. I can attest to this with this comment.

[@albertogallego1187]

Nno

[@corshawnhughes8325]

I swear it’s like if you were a teen or in your early 20s during this time you had the best youth like from the late 80s - early 90s generation x is extremely lucky to grow up in this time period

[@raypadgett6569]

a thousand times yes! I turned 21 in '91 and let me tell you me and my friends had an epic 90s! 😎❤️❤️

[@garyblanchard8570]

Or for that matter late twenties......

[@lewismartin4306]

if you believe 'His Story'. We are languishing

[@dottiespurlock3113]

Yes, Best day's and music 🎶ever!!!!!

[@RCDetanico]

The world was smaller then, everyone was more inocent. Now we know shit that hapens all over the world, like, instantly. But everything from those days seems to have an autenticy that nowadays, just doesn't exists anymore.

[@Nunyabuisness80]

Just watched the movie Flag Day and heard a cover of this. Had to come and hear the best version. R.E.M are such a huge part of my life growing up and nobody can do justice imo to a already classic song.

[@robertoc.dominguez6856]

El sonido de los instrumentos en esta canción es impecable. La perfección.

[@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.

[@boraboris2008]

With this song, R.E.M. finally inducted to Classic Rock Hall of Fame. Thanks to Mr. John Paul Jones' magical orchestral touch.

[@msturn1975]

Jonesy! If a casual observer knew the stuff he did in the 60's, they would have never pictured him going into the Zeppelin.

[@mariamaltesegould4990]

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

[@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.

[@CarlosRoberto-re9gu]

Te ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@the_microbiologistcat4339]

2:00 🔥

[@time8871]

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.

[@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, 🙏💕

[@omarvgarcia]

After all this time.. This song still gives me goosebumps!

[@ashleylyng8355]

It's funny you say goosebumps. There is a new show on hulu called goosebumps, and this song plays on the first episode in the beginning.

[@lordaces1079]

Pun intended 🤣😝

[@frenchielove200]

Goosebumps helped me rediscover this song!

[@OpiatesAndTits]

@@ashleylyng8355hot take he already knew this?

[@TheNoniebaloney]

Me too!

[@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.

[@eminou-s4i]

Funny isn't it? The first time I heard this was on MTV when I was a teen...loved it instantly and still do as a 49-yr-old. I may be old, but the song stays young and fabulous.

[@MacIntoshMann]

One of their most underrated tracks in my opinion.

[@derekpalange6247]

Gabriel Tiller true

[@dimosk7389]

I can hardly call this underrated

[@jackreed7287]

It's arguable their best song and video.

[@TheVandermann]

@@jackreed7287 ....and don't forget Country Feedback

[@Soldmysoulforablurayplayer]

It is top 10 for sure. 1. The Great Beyond 2. Imitation of Life 3. Night Swimming 4. Man on the Moon 5. Bad Day 6. Drive 7. Orange Crush 8. End of the World 9. Everybody Hurts 10. Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight.

[@diegodz7510]

still listening to this masterpiece support from Italy 🇮🇹

[@adanperes7203]

This is not underrated it's one of the most greatest songs of the history of music. The " maybe you rock around the clock , tick- tock" it's the spirit of the times an apology of 60's bill haley! Rock around So if you are young now its hard to understand' but Its " priceless" Those are the days"

[@SunnyLyngdoh]

As an Indian I can safely say this is underrated. Many of my peers grew up listening to Pink Floyd, for example, and are familiar with Comfortably Numb, High Hopes, etc. But mention this song and you are likely to get blank stares. Undoubtedly, as you say, one of the greatest songs in the history of music.

[@martinlange6307]

I'm the old man and am listening REM it's very good march people in Germany like it good wishes Martin

[@Kinnakeeter]

I love R.E.M. What an unbelievable band
