R.E.M. - 10/02/85 Germany 9. So. Central Rain 

I loved him like forever, even his acne scars , he s just so real, he always stayed true and never changed for anyone. Everyone let’s you down but he’s like this lighthouse in the storm. When the pandemic first started quess who I started listening again? REM is the one to go to , bands come and go but this music means something and it lives on forever ❤️❤️❤️

its interesting how he sang so much differently back then. He sang more like a rebel punk rocker, and with the athens accent. its so cool how they evolve but undeniably this was where their magic was.

One of my all-time favourite R.E.M tracks. Michael was seriously a dreamboat back in the day.

I will swim the ocean deep, climb the highest mountain peak .... Gorgeous Michael Stipe!

I was in a store some years ago and I was about to leave when this song started playing; I went back inside just to hear it.

mike's howl gives me the shivvvvers. slammin bass slammin drums and that forever thick REM jangle by Buck

Michael was never as haunting,ethereal and beautiful as he is here....

Last year I didn't even need this, but 2020 screwed people up so badly that I started looking for some kind of emotional support. Fortunately I discovered that drinking red wine and listening to these here guys' music sort of helps. I hope next year I wil be doing all right on my own and won't need this music any more.

one of my favorite R>E>M> songs..Michael looks so beautiful here,

"...i'm not bound to follow suit...."

. . . the wise man builds his words upon the rocks but I'm not bound to follow suit . . . Damn.

ooh, the way his veins pop out of his neck, so intense.

It's so amazing watching them in this video and see how time has passed....how they have evolved into their current state of musical creations. I'm so glad to be a fan of them and never get tired of their music. R.E.M. Forever!! YNWA!!

Brilliant

Thank you !!!!!!!

So true. I wish I had a time machine.

Wow. Great video.

My fave bros

they dont make bands like this anymore. how freakin great were they

wow, i never saw this before (and michael is blond!)

Gotta love the electrical tape holding the mic to the stand!

Eastern to Mountain, third party call, the lines are down The wise man built his words upon the rocks But I'm not bound to follow suit The trees will bend, the conversation's dimmed Go build yourself another home, this choice isn't mine I'm sorry, I'm sorry

Like how he swaps in new lyrics. Not too precious about keeping the song predictable.

whoa he has hair!

Stipe looks like Gerard Way here
