I listened to this song five times straight when I got word my son was killed in Afghanistan. I had in 35 years of service lost lots of friends but losing my son almost made me kill myself. This song pulled me back.
Chris, what words can I type to express my emotions when reading your post? They don't exist ... please know how very sorry I am and that I BELIEVE you will be reunited. God bless and strengthen you as you take one step at a time. Love, Sean P.S. God bless you, Onyin.
That's a fucking song... everybody needs to hear that at some point.. I'm 300 pound bearded dude and that shit makes me cry... we need to come together people...
I first heard this song when is was released in 1992. My father died, drowning in his own blood, in front of me on the kitchen floor, 16 days after in my 18th birthday, in 1992. That song helped me survive that year. And ever since, each and every time I hear it, I burst in tears. It hits SO deep, SO true, for EVERYONE, ever, all over the world. Take comfort in your friends, indeed ... without my friends in that 1992 year, I would have thrown up my hand and let go of life.
The lyrics are so simple yet the song hits really deep... I hope anyone who is feeling sad or alone would find some comfort in this song... May God bless you!
Yes, this is a powerfully emotional song. I love how you allow yourself to show us how such songs affect you. God bless you and thank you for your real reactions.
Girl it is hard. I have depression too. Knowing we’re not alone it helps. This is a year later but if you want to contact me do. I’m a 57 year old woman. No weird stuff. Was a teacher for 20 years. A mom. I hate to see children suffer. ❤️🙏
and theres no race ...no age...no status...no whatever...loss always feels the same...despair does...in a way we are all united...im pain...but as well the positive vibes...first love...hope dreams...it all feels the same to us humans...we are more connectedt than there could be differneces between us!! Luv from Berlin!
Your reaction was beautiful. This song still brings tears to my eyes, though 'I've heard it many, many times. I have been on the precipice of giving up everything, but managed to back down before it was too late. BTW, R.E.M is a band, the singer is Michael Stipe.
Every emotion has an equal and opposite power in this one. Embrace your fears and doubts. You'll find yourself less scared and sad when you face those scary emotion. I often cry at beautiful works of art, and when I do it makes me feel so alive, showing and embracing truth, because as the man said, "The truth will set you free" You made a lovely, moving video, and I want to thank you.
I like that song , but I hate to see you cry. Please watch Total Eclipse by Klaus Nomi. It`s a crazy song , but it might make you smile. You have a beautiful smile.
For my bff Meredith, died of cancer aged 34. She wanted this at her funeral, and it will forever remind me of that beautiful girl. I miss you so much my lovely!
There’s something so magical about sharing a song you love with someone who appreciates it as much as you do. Thank you for giving us all the gift of sharing a song we love with someone who so clearly ‘gets’ it...🙏🙏🙏
I play this on ukelele and guitar all the time, holds a special place in my heart as my younger brother took his own life two weeks before his 28th birthday, not super difficult to play and a beautiful song
This song is the truth! Great reaction! Can you react to Mariah's "Can't Let Go" live on SNL ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cQodEESU4U8.html and music video 💙😊
Your reaction was beautiful. You're obviously a very deep-feeling woman. This song is soooo moving, right? It still makes me cry....every single time. By the way, the name of the band is spelled out in letters: it isn't "REM", it it pronounced R then E then M. ❤❤❤
Ooohhh this one got me ... Again!! I just can't listen to this one without crying, the words are scarily true for my family as my son tried to take his own life. If anyone is feeling scared and alone "Hold On" ❤️
#onyinpearl - You are a beautiful human being!!!! I share your same powerful reactions and emotions to this song, "Everybody Hurts!" Thank you for being YOU!!!! LOVE YOU!!!!
Pearl, I love watching your reactions, especially to these emotional songs. Like Jamel, you really FEEL the music and it is to your credit that you are not afraid to let your emotions show. This is a most beautiful song, if very sad. Keep on doing your reactions and we will keep enjoying along with you. BTW the band is pronounced like the three letters, Are EEE, Em, not Rem like one word!
Such a powerful and uplifting song!!! When I was young, I thought it was extremely sad (because I always cried hearing it). Now I’m an adult and have been through a lot...this song is my positive go to! You should watch the Live version from Glasgow, I think. 🤍
I just watched this video and I am moved by how you were moved. If you've never seen the movie, Magnolia, may I recommend it? It is a powerful movie about pain, suffering, and isolation -- but in the end, healing. This clip from the movie (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aNmKghTvj0E.html) could easily be the point just before the Everybody Hurts video begins,
3 Thoughts-don't apologize for your emotions, you could very well save someone with this, when someone does this, they need to first consider the pain they will cause the loved ones, and friends they leave behind, and until they make that last move there might just be a road up, and out of that dark pit. About 2 years ago I was almost there, with physical pain gradually going off the chart(a 6-month undiagnosed infection-the doctor thought it was muscle spasms, had fractured my top 2 vertebrae, and made a disconnect with my skull, I had been refused effective pain meds, and had more than once shouted to the sky "If this is how you are going to kill me let's git er done!" A Phys. assistant(and I owe her my life) sent me for an MRI, while in the large Med Ctr. a doctor came to me saying "I've called an ambulance for you, and you're going to(a huge Med Ctr.) and going now,-(not a good sign). as it turned out (they had not told me what the problem was) it was the very beginning of the road back up and out. meds including "Sister Morphine", two operations in 12 days to fuse my spine and reconnect the skull, a halo for 7 weeks, months of therapy, and in a few days I will have my last follow up, I feel great, almost like new again, so glad I hung on, and will forever bless the Assistant who listened to me, she turned me away from a dark road,- arriving at the 2nd hospital, a collar, and meds stopped the pain like a miracle, and through it all the support of my wife kept me going and still does. Remember Its always darkest just before the dawn, I had heard that said many times but now know the meaning-well that's probably enough rambling,so keep the faith people!
when you can't hold on anymore....when your grip is slipping...think of the pain and suffering you put onto your family...and hang on...you will get there
The truth of the matter is this isn't even R.E.M.'s best song. The lyrics, the vocals and the music, we will never hear anything like this again. A supremely talented band that basically invented the term alternative rock.
Wow, I did not sense a young girl like you would understand... I lost 4 friends this year and my mother, but of course I cant trell who you already lost in your life... But hang on.. life is still worth living and beautiful!
friend it isnt rem, it is R E M.....i think we all cry ...more than anyone thinks,,, you are just a kid, well, life does hurt, mostly later. but it is the best going
If anyone goes through this life and says they never felt alone. Or hurt so deep inside they wanted to give up... they lie. Just know that, tommorow will be better, and the day after that will get better. Leave the things behind that hurt you. And if ya still just dont understand why you feel helpless, Look to your inner self, and make up your mind to survive no matter what.
HELLO ONYIN, THANKS FOR YOUR CANDID HEARTFELT FACIAL EXPRESSION. THE LYRICS SAID "EVERYBODY HURTS" WHICH IS A REALITY, BUT THE LYRICS ALSO SAY "HOLD ON". BUT HOLD ON TO WHAT OR WHO ? WE CANNOT TRUST THE WORLD AND EVEN SOME FAMILY MEMBERS COMPLETELY. CAN WE LEAN ON AND TRUST IN JESUS CHRIST WHO DIED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS THAT WE MIGHT BE RIGHTEOUS ? WELL- YES TAKE CARE ONYIN FROM EMILIO IN ADELAIDE CITY IN AUSTRALIA
Can you please react to Evanescence “my immortal” such a timeless beautiful song sang by Amy Lee’s with an awesome haunting voice. This song will move you cheers
yOUNG LADY I AM A 76 YEAR OLD MAN YOU ARE MY SISTER WE BOTH ARE GODS CHILDREN . I AM WHITE AND I KNOW THIS I LOVE YOU WE ARE ONLY DIFFERENT IN SKIN COLOR IF WE GAVE EACH OTHER BLOOD WE WOULD BE OK WE ARE NOT MONKEIES OR ALIENS THEIR BLOOD WOULD KILL US . THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO THIS OLD MUSIC IT COMES FROM LOVE IT DOESN'T CALL YOU BITCH OR ME WHITIE LOV MUSIC THAT LOVES YOU . HATE COMES FROM SATAN LOV IS GOD WE JUST MADE IT THRU THE VIRUS OF ALL TIME LETS COME TOGEATHER AND HUG EACH OTHER AND BE A FAMILY
I've been talking to God alot and asking him for help. I found you for a reason. I'm on the edge now, the past 2 years have been hell for me. My Dad hates women, for years he verbally abused me. I took up for myself and he disowned me, but still helps my bro who isn't disabled. I suffer with mental illness and was tortured in school for being different. I even had a teacher as a ring leader. Although I'm on social security for my illness, I rescue and rehabilitate animals. Thanks for crying with me I needed that. I'm so alone and my world is so jacked up right now. Thanks for what you said, I'll stay strong. You're a very sweet and special lady, don't ever change.
May god watch over you and always stay safe and good to yourself. I lost my lil bro last year and im still hurt, hes my only sibblings and now im all alone in this world.
Prov.3 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths...because God loves you and do not listen in your mind with negative thoughts. My husband was mistreated terribly in school when he was young, by girls and teachers. Females were the ones who made ugly comments and only females have ever slapped or hit him and yet he loves Girls and just talks about them as if they were his daughter, wounds in Nam prevented him from having children and yet he is so kind because he has always had Faith in Gods Love. If you think Bad things, especially of the past, you will never be happy.1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Philippians 4:6-7 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. Dwell on His Word not yours or the Devils
powerful song & video for sure, I remember when I first watched it when it came out. The whole album that this song is on is even better again, a MUST listen. 'Automatic For the People' 👍
