Tribal People React to R.E.M Losing My Religion (Official Music Video)

[@sorchatheraven]

Glad as always that Chacha seems to be feeling better. Hope each and every one of you is safe and fine, seeing you always cheers me up. Best wishes from Spain

The moment a Trybals video comes up, I go there. Their discussions are so deep, like when I was young and hippie ( 50 or so years ago). My only real critique is that there are no women involved any more. I do understand that the culture there is very different, but I'd love to hear their observations.

[@LittleGrayMouse]

I'm an old woman and this song always makes me cry. Losing your religion means you can't take it anymore, you're at the end of your rope. You can't go on anymore. You've just given up. Trapped in a corner, no longer dreaming of an escape.

[@arabspring5218]

That is a beautiful take on it, thank you for sharing that!

[@cademosley4886]

The images of welding the wings comes from the ancient Greek story of Daedalus (the father) and Icarus (the son). Daedalus made wings for himself and Icarus to fly and escape their prison island. But they were made with wax. Daedalus told Icarus not to fly too low (and crash into the sea) or too high (where the sun would melt the wax), which is a Stoic philosophy (the best life is one where you are not too sad or too happy but balanced) but Icarus flew too high, the sun melted his wax, and he fell into the sea. The idea is Icarus was young and had a fantasy to become great and aim for the sun, like it was a paradise, but the fame and fortune of the sun burned him and destroyed his life. I think the song is about realizing the life you thought was perfect and happy, especially this other person in the song being happy (maybe an ex-lover?), is actually just a fantasy and not real, and he's realizing the sad truth and his life is falling apart by the knowledge. That was my interpretation. I love hearing all of your thoughts as well. Thank you for these, as always.

Don't you know you are a shooting star.... Johnny is also Icarus.

[@cademosley4886]

Good example. Eddie in Tom Petty's "Into The Great Wide Open" is the one I was thinking about (also played by Johnny Depp who is himself also a kind of Icarus). But I think there are so many examples.

[@moorek1967]

Just a side note, the images in the video are from Greek and Roman mythology. There is the scene of Leonardo da Vinci showing Icarus as an old man. There is another song that expresses the same idea as this, that when you reach the height, you can tumble back down to earth, that song is Shooting Star, and the words are "don't you know that you are a shooting star" about a boy named Johnny who wanted to become rich and famous as a rock singer and got there by cutting off all he knew of good people and good things.

[@17losttrout]

Nice choice. And, as always, the guys come across as very intuitive, kind and decent. Thank you.

"(E)ven if you lose everything, don't lose hope." - Muharam I have lost everything 3 times in my life. Everything. And everyone. To hope was to hurt more....yet I hoped for better. And I still do. God let me lose all those things so that I would find Him. I may never understand any of it, but I will continue to hope for better. Even if it is to spite myself. Please give my love to these brothers, these teachers. Each one of you bless me every single time, and I am so very grateful for all of you. We need Y'all. The world needs Y'all. ❤

I love your opinions! I hope you are all good in your beautiful country. ❤ it’s always nice to see these videos.

R.E.M. is indeed "Rapid Eye Movement" but while the band pronounces its name as R-E-M, they have stated that's not the meaning of the name. The discoverer of the sleep phenomenon reached out to the band to ask if that's what it meant but they deny it, saying that they picked it at random from a dictionary.

[@folkadelic273]

Gotta love how mr. Abdul Aziz Rind Baloch rock solid stone gaze at each of this pieces he listens and watch. A rock doesnt reacte to stimuli - rock experience it..

[@0711mama]

2024 and I hear and feel this song from a whole other perspective as an adult since this album came out when I was a teen and very naive. It’s much clearer now

[@greghamann2099]

One of my favorite bands. A great song I haven't heard it in a long time. I love how the song was interpreted by all the gentlemen here. Excellent job.

[@SherriLyle80s]

Exactly, losing one's religion in the south means, being angry or frustrated with something.

[@moorek1967]

Yes, one could say that about anyone who annoys them like "that driver was brake checking me the whole way, he is making me lose my religion" which means you want to do something violent to them but you can't because your religion does not allow you to.

[@MrMegamike2k]

After all these years, I never looked into R.E.M.s acronym stood for. I just loved their music and assumed it was initials if the band members. 😅

Have you visited 'The Living Years' by Mike and The Mechanics? I think they would appreciate it ❤

[@GRelayer]

I love this channel. I swear. Revolutionary. :)

[@jean-marcknight8816]

I'd like to see what they think about Django Reinhardt

[@deandee8082]

have you listened to these bands before? Crowded House, "dont dream its over" . . Tears for Fears, "everybody wants to rule the world"

[@arabspring5218]

Hello, Adnan, I am a big fan of your channel and work and appreciate all of these people offering their insights. I was wondering if you could have them react to the video of the elephants painting pictures. It is on youtube for the public consumption and I do not think you would have copyright issues. Thank you for everything. Please take care, all of you.

[@Caperhere]

Those elephants are tortured.

Maybe they are ‘tribal’, maybe they find all this new technology and concepts difficult, but one thing is for sure: they are wise people.

Hi, any chance you guys can do Fade To Black? Specifically the live performance ""Fade to Black (Lincoln, NE - September 6, 2018)""

[@Howfar9]

Find the river is another great song of theirs, would love to see a reaction to that

[@johnthompson6374]

Thank you Prometheus for my hot meal. Peace/JT

[@arithaamaneth-mk6le]

Bro I like to suggest some classical music like Beethoven's Fifth, Paganini's La Campanella, Schubert/Ernst Erlking to add variety with the metal and pop classics

[@ch1cken690]

Show them some Jimi Hendrix or Beatles next

Hello! Love your videos! Please , show them a performance called Diana Navarro - El tránsito 2005 (It starts at 02:14). It is a popular religious acapella song. I think Abdul will love It.❤❤❤ Regards from Spain

Familiar with the song, have never bothered watching the video before...

[@Caperhere]

Nice song, interesting interpretations. I tried the link to make requests, but it’s not working. Be nice if you find the time to do Wheat Kings by The Tragically Hip, or Bruce Springsteen singing 41 shots, live in Tampa. Thanks.

[@TRYBALS]

Thanks for your suggestion, I'll try my best 😊

[@hatorade87]

You just keeping enough distance to throw a left hook.

[@susanmontgomery7121]

Have they seen "Zombie" by The Cranberries?

[@Martyk1968]

If you had just typed, "trybals zombie" in to the youtube search bar rather than asking via comments, then you would have found out by now.

It's ok, comments do help us 🤞🤗❤️🌹

@@MartinaNugent-yt8ig If you give a man a fish then you only feed him for one day. If you teach a man to fish then he can feed himself every day. Hopefully my comment has educated the original commenter a little more on how to find videos on youtube without needing to be spoonfed by random strangers. Also, if you had done your due dilligence then you would know that the original commenter has had a youtube channel for almost 11 years, so it's not like they are new to this. It smells of apathy and laziness & if anyone validates it, then they are only encouraging more of the same behaviour. Todays philosophy is - Teach people how to fish.

May I ask how old Uncle Abdul is

[@TRYBALS]

Even he himself isn't sure but definitely he's above 75

[@joshuamartinpryce8424]

Its good to lose religion but focus on The Sons efforts.

[@JohnHazelwood58]

You told them, that the song was about "coming out" beeing a gay person beeing no longer accept by god, right? o_O

[@brethren111]

Singer himself said it's about how significant it is for a southern man to lose his religion

[@moorek1967]

@@brethren111 As someone who has very deep southern roots, the truth is that men in the south are not really that religious. For them, it is because momma or granny went to church so they identify with the place where they went, not necessarily the religion. More women tend to be religious than men.

[@moorek1967]

Yes, that is what the song is about. And the images in the video are from Greek mythology.
