Lyrics:
Shiny happy people laughing
Meet me in the crowd, people, people
Throw your love around, love me, love me
Take it into town, happy, happy
Put it in the ground where the flowers grow
Gold and silver shine
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing
Everyone around, love them, love them
Put it in your hands, take it, take it
There's no time to cry, happy, happy
Put it in your heart where tomorrow shines
Gold and silver shine
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing
Whoa, here we go
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy…

[@Wyattherrold]

@Re Nera same I didn’t cry for 43 minutes straight watching greys anatomy

[@Random-sk6hm]

Goodbye evil spawn 🥺

[@tonymk5506]

I had to look up this song “Grey’s Anatomy” is one of the greatest series I ever watched and when I saw this episode I had to listen to this song

[@a.c.8183]

[@AyoTexxx]

Just watched this episode today. But I’ve known the original song for years

[@ninaaac92]

Exactly why I'm here I couldn't get this song out of my head

TCM using this song as a tribute song to all the actors that passed away in 2021…..love the tribute!!

[@seasandmeet5634]

So beautiful, isnt it? I had to search it - at first, thinking it was Damien Rice.

[@wallissadberry8460]

Me too,worked well with the celebs,other award shows should watch TCM !

[@danielcox-gonzalez7430]

The annual tributes are always so moving.

[@kathybest741]

That's where I heard this! I like this version better than the original, I think.

[@danielroyer6005]

R.E.M.'s Shiny Happy People was as well used during the beginning of a 2008 live action family dog movie "Marley and Me" starring Owen Wilson and Friends TV Sitcom alum Jennifer Aniston!

[@sarahakm]

I'm here because of TCM's 2021 memoriam. Anybody else?

[@pampruett245]

Me, too. I'm trying to find something out about the band, I've never heard of them. This is one of my super favorite songs (REM), but this version is so apropos for the TCM thing. I'm going to keep looking for some info.

[@bobbie6468]

Same here. Love this version of this song better than any others.

[@carterbentonjr399]

Same here. It brought tears to my eyes.

[@70sgirl1961]

TCM's Tribute to those we've lost in 2021 used this song. This version of the great REM song is such an excellent rendition.

[@danisland9205]

Alex Karev ❤️❤️❤️

[@pedxing]

performed this way it seems a prayer for the lonely. beautiful.

[@andymadrid5626]

Had to look this up from seeing the TCM montage of passing Hollywood denizens. Very moving and emotive.

[@amani6784]

thank you grey's anatomy. you will be missed, alex karev ♡

[@lorenamartines4639]

I will miss you Alex Karev 💔

[@pendambahidayah4712]

Broken family. Shattered dreams. Rejected. The violence. The darkness. And finally, auto build the most constructed wall that no one can see. Almost 50 years now, still rushing to find a corner to hide, to sit, to stuff ears with earphones and to listen to this song...to help the mind to delete all those evils that was done unto this life by people and finally, as i sat silently in the corner, tears flushing out bcoz i'm blessed to be alive among all this shiny happy people. No, i have never being taken for granted nor was i being bullied whatsoever. I secretly hugging everybody...bcoz love conquers everything now!

[@natalieedelstein]

I'm shocked that this song has only 6k views many days after it aired on Grey's Anatomy! It was such a moving song in a very critical episode! I absolutely love it! May this song's viewership skyrocket soon!

[@esmd8096]

patience

[@Wyattherrold]

I think it’s because the couldn’t here the songs because the first note caused millions of viewers to Sob

[@drworm12345]

I looked up "shiny happy people sad piano cover" and this did not disappoint.

[@AshleyistheGOAT]

Absolutely stunning! Such a great song!

[@jamessandsmark226]

REM is one of my all time favorite bands and this is such a fine interpretation of this song. TCM remembrance video brought me here as well.

[@aftp6646]

In this key it sounds more like an R.E.M. song than the actual R.E.M. version.

[@Random-sk6hm]

@@aftp6646 Fr I thought this was the original so looked up and listened to the R.E.M. version and it sounds like a parody

[@ProfessorRex]

Just heard you live on Greys! So excited to hear your voice on TV again!!

Great cover. Did you make an album where will be all of these songs from "Reuben And The Dark x AG" line? (Humankind, What A Wonderful World, Bad Feeling, Hold Your Head High and more) Want it so much.

[@e.l.s.3048]

This is one of those instances when the cover version is better than the original version. And I say this as an REM fan who owns all of their albums.

[@mayloo2137]

What a downer of a song. The original by REM was such a lovely, HAPPY song! And it was used as a song for a sad scene in Grey's Anatomy? Whhhyyyyyy.....?

[@charlenecoombes7526]

This song, is “actually” about the Chinese government, clamping down on the student demonstrators, and the hundreds of people that were killed in Tiananmen Square. Not “really” a happy song, if you look it up.😓. Song was released a couple years after it happened in China. “Shiny Happy People” was taken from the Chinese propaganda posters that were being used, to con the world into believing something very different was going on.

[@whaaaa869]

Ppl who watch grey's anatomy confuse kitsch and profundity.
