R.E.M. - Losing My Religion | FIRST TIME REACTION 

Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me . I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤

R.E.M. is the most 90s band of the 80s.

The expression Losing My Religion in the United States means "losing patience" or "losing your mind", nothing linked to religion. Furthermore, the band's song is about unrequited love and not a departure from religion.

"Everybody Hurts". Thats one of the best of REM. I remember seeing this video for the first time in MTV. I was in my first year of high school and I was mesmerized by the art.

''Everybody Hurts'' and ''Shiny Happy People'' are some of the greats from them

I was a teenager in the 90s. When MTV came along, i never switched off the TV for 3 years.

Absolute classic; definitely deserves to be a part of your music journey. ❤‍🔥

"Drive" and "It's the end of the world as we know it" are great songs.

Oh alright! R.E.M. (pronounced as reading the letters separately and not as word) is a good band! They have lots of good songs, but "Everybody Hurts" is one that's really popular to react to, but you have to do the official music video version. Or if you want an older, more up beat song of their's "It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" is a personal favorite that's been used in lots of movies and TV. Or "The One I Love" is another favorite.

My my, more than 30 years ago. I'm getting old. R.E.M. had a huge influence on pop music. Ushered in the the age of introspective indi pop. Old time rockers still resent them for that.

People have taken the title too literally for years, but as Michael Stipe explained, the title is a US Deep-South phrase (the band is from Athens, Georgia) meaning to lose your temper or run out of patience. Which makes sense given that he also said it’s about having a crush on somebody.😊

You pronounced the band name great! No worries! R...E...M. This is my favorite of many R.E.M. songs. A rock song that has no electric guitar, but a mandolin, an amazing bass line, and a bopping beat. Add a lyric that really can be open to fun interpretations...it's awesome!!! The phrase "Losing My Religion" comes from the southern United States (specifically Georgia, where R.E.M. is from). It basically means losing one's temper or feeling frustrated or desperate. The song itself is mostly about romantic feelings and needs. The official video won all sorts of awards and the song was everywhere in the 1990s...a huge hit.

oooohhhh... this song is masterpiece

Deep dive into this massively talented group is a must bisscute

R.E.M. were such a talented band, not the best musicians in the world, but capable of crafting some of the finest alternative rock songs of the 80s 90s 00s. Check out Fall on me, The one I love, Man on the Moon, What’s the frequency Kenneth, Imitation of life

This band sings one of the saddest but also greatest ballads of all time called "Everybody Hurts" Very emotional song

Your rolling "R" is soooo cute.

R.E.M. (Rapid Eye Movement... also called "rem") were an 'alternative' rock band formed in the early 80's in Georgia (in the USA 😁) They were signed to an indie label and released a string of fairly successful albums... They were signed to a major record deal in 1988 for a multi-million $$$ contract and delivered the album 'Green' that sold 4 million copies worldwide. 'Losing my religion' was a massive hit single in 1991 that set the whole 90's scene for the 'alternative rock' revolution... R.E.M.'s album 'Out of time' became an international hit, selling 4 million copies in the US, 12 million worldwide... and thrust the band into the spotlight w/ newer bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Green Day, Blur, Oasis, Weezer, Rage Against the Machine, Soundgarden, etc. R.E.M. recorded 'Out of time' and the next album 'Automatic for the people' (1992) acoustically and both albums were huge hits... 'Automatic for the people' sold 15 million copies worldwide & delivered hits like 'Drive'... 'Man on the Moon'... 'Everybody hurts'... 🔥🔥 Their 1994 album 'Monster' was a return to electric rock, followed by a tour and was R.E.M's biggest to date... more hits like 'Bang and blame'... "What's the frequency, Kenneth?" ... However, the band was wilting under the spotlight. R.E.M was originally - Michael Stipe (vocals), Peter Buck (lead guitar), Mike Mills (bass/ keyboards) and Bill Berry (drums)... As they became international superstars, Stipe was revealed to be gay under scrutiny, and he suffered a loss when Nirvana's Kurt Cobain (who was a close friend) took his life in 1994 ... Then drummer Bill Berry began suffering health problems... R.E.M. released 'New adventures in Hi-Fi' in 1996, but sales dropped to 4 million worldwide because of the decline of 90's 'alternative rock'. In 1997, drummer Bill Berry left the band and R.E.M. became a trio, using session drummers. Subsequent albums like 'Up' (1998) and 'Reveal' (2001) sold well, but not as much as the previous albums... After a few more albums, R.E.M. announced in 2011 that the band was ending after their 15th album 'Collapse into now'... Michael Stipe has stated that he has no plans to bring R.E.M. back. Other R.E.M. hits - 'Stand'... 'The one I love'... 'Orange crush'... 'The great beyond'... "It's the end of the world..."

I love this song! It's great that you have listed this masterpiece Love ur reactions!

This song from the album Out of time was their breakthrough song. You could hear it everywhere. From the same album Shiny happy people is a happy catchy song. The followup album Automatic for the people has brilliant melancholic songs. I like most Man on the moon.

R.E.M.'s songs are so great, sometimes catchy, sometimes melancholic or both. That's why they are one of my favourite bands. I'm glad that you give their music a chance. You should listen to more of their songs, they were quite rightly famous. I remember reading that they chose the name out of a dictionary because "they liked the dots" in it. Also, I always wanted to see more of that weird but fascinating dancing in the video.

The three albums that stay with me from the 90's are R.E.M. -"Out of Time" (with this song), Hootie and the Blowfish - "Cracked Rear View", and Alanis Morissette - "Jagged Little Pill." I enjoy them just as much today as I did when they came out. Thanks for this reaction.

Just love from this viewer. I appreciate your honesty in everything you bring to your channel. :)

Yes that is milk in that jug, this reference is likely due to the english expression 'don't cry over spilled milk' (which means don't get too worked up over small things you can't change) as that appears to be what it's symbolizing.

"Losing my religion" is a Southern USA expression meaning "losing my calmness/cool/sh..t". The dance is likely awkward on purpose based on the motivation and meaning of the song (easily googled). Everybody Hurts is a great video as well.

This song, if memory serves, is the biggest hit to ever feature a mandolin. If you want an alternative music cornerstone, I recommend What’s the Frequency Kenneth by REM. Thanks for the reaction, Bisscute.

Fantastic video and one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.

Awasome reaction biss 🤘💀🤘

One of my favourite songs

Great, great band. I consider myself privileged to have had the opportunity to see them live. One of the greatest concerts I have ever seen.

I love how you always find the change in emotional temperature of the song and react to it. 🙂

Eres, desde ahora. La N° 1..👍👍👍

REM one of the great American bands.nightswimming is a classic.everybody hurts I guarantee will make you cry.they are an amazing band

You've got to here Drive, one of the most underrated songs they ever released. A true masterpiece, and the composition is genius, it builds with such perfect timing of increasing moments of tension and releases all the way through that just get more and more intense each time. If it doesn't blow your mind, nothing will 😂

Other songs i think youd like: “radio free europe”, “you are the everything”, “its the end of the world as we know it”, “man on the moon”, “everybody hurts”, “perfect circle”, & “orange crush”.....but there are a ton of great ones from them & u kind of cant go wrong with anything from them pre-1992 ... i think after kurt cobain died, something inside michael stipe died too (the lead singer & lyricist), they were quite close & had plans to make an album together, but it never happened.

Perfect. Love the way you roll your "R"s.

Beautiful song beautiful reacction

Just watching again,,i love watching good to hear❤️❤️❤️

Great reaction

Wow Bisscute picked up on a note/chord I have never heard before and will now never forget hahaha well done girl.

“Everybody Hurts” is a banger and has a great music video.

I love everything about this one. The rhythm, vocals, lyrics, instrumentation. And yes, this one flows perfectly! Consider it has NO chorus but it is still super catchy and you can sing along to it. I would suggest you give it a couple more listens focusing on all the instrument layers. Great video as always.

Ahhh Rapid Ear Movement... absolutely LOVE this song. (so many memories) Glad this is part of your journey :) x

hello there , i love watching when you post indie / alternative videos , i subscribed to you , this is one of my favourite videos ever xx

My & my kids loved that dance 😂

I love your channel Bisscute. I love hearing ESL people's take and pronunciation of English. It's fascinating. Keep up the great work you do.

Great band of last 40 years - SO influential - best song to go to next is hard, but "Everybody Hurts" may bring you to tears in all the best ways, so that is my vote - you rock always!

I grew up in ATL in the '80s (yep I'm old af) so I actually saw them live in the fox theatre in 1988 for the life's rich pageant tour - insanely good

Hello Bisscute ,I also love the title " What's The Frequency, Kenneth? " this group is for me one of the symbols of the 90s, the best years musically speaking

You're doin' great!

This was a very notable milestone in the band's history, as while there had been music videos made for their previous songs, they had long resisted actually acting in them, sticking to cameos or comic posturing. The director was Tarsem Singh, who later made the gorgeous films THE CELL and THE FALL, and this is a good capsule of the style he would bring to those films.

One of my favorites songs of all time, and yes, you said it well (R.E.M.), an alternative rock band from de later 80´s and 90´s, the time of their best successfull era. You must to react to "Happy People" or "Everybody Hurts". Nice react. Kisses...!!!

The best collab he did was with Kristin Hersh, the song your ghost, is incredible…

Wow there is so much, dont just listen to the hits but explore deeper - Uberlin, It Happened Today, Accelerate, Nightswimming, Man on the Moon, Bad Day .... there is so much to explore from this fantastic band

"It's the End of the World" was the first of their songs that I heard. It was in 1989 in an irish pub and it was played louuuuuuud, just the way it's meant to be heard. That made my otherwise shitty day and put me in a really fun mood ☺️

In Brazil we say REM too hahaha. Nice vid Biss

The other comments already said almost everything! REM were very big in the 90th. Around this time me and my girlfriend departed and whenever I hear this song I still remember her. Hope she is fine and not loosing her religion.:-)

Great Band This inevitable theme in my playlist Greetings

So many great REM songs to try, I envy your journey - Imitation of Life, Bad Day, The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight, It's The End of The World As We Know It, Man on the Moon, Everybody Hurts, Shiny Happy People, Stand, Night Swimming, The One I Love,

You are doing great, Young Lady!!!

I'm glad you liked this song. I was a teenager when this song came out, and at the time, I was a shy, introvert, so I really related to the lyrics.

Stipe's as you said "awkward" dance here it's just on point! It fitted just perfect. It's been 30 years already since I saw this masterpiece for the first time. Those movements amazed me so much then. And they still amaze me. They just catch you once and forever.

it is a good song .. does make you think .. thanks for doing this reaction Bisscute ..

This was my favorite song for 20 years

I can't wait your reaction on this one ! One of my top 3 songs of all time

Love... You are awesome Bisscute... He's torn... doesn't know who to please... Equals faking out everyone.. ..

The whole album is a masterpiece Biss. I love it to bits.

Watching somebody listen,,,,,, I waited all my life for this ,,,thanks

"Gardening at Night", yeah that's a song. I fell in love with their sound back when it was new.

You said it all just fine! I dunno who is giving you grief? You nailed it. I love your accent, so even if you say something "wrong", it's endearing and adorable. 🙂

*"The lengths that I will go to, the distance in your eyes"* Pure Gold!

I love the "rennaisance'ness" of the visuals, the colour palette, it's very cool, along with the funky tune and movement, it's great.

Truly one of the greatest songs ever. Absolutely phenomenal and rem are a very incredible band. A true classic. Amazing video. If you haven't yet i highly recommend listening to some songs by muse.

We love you!❤

REM stands for rapid eye movements which is something everyone does when they sleep

It gets you in a deep place.

would love to see your reactions on........ 1 - Amanda Lear - Follow me 2 - Grace Jones - i've seen that face before 3 - Kate Bush - Wuthering heights all unique female singers with a unique voice

"Fall on me" and "Driver 8" are great songs :)

R.E.M is great, noice choice🤌

Saw them at Stirling Castle, brilliant concert.

this song is evergreen...awsome

Love your reaction.. REM are one of the most original bands.. you must listen to "Everybody Hurts" a classic. My favourites "Orange Crush" and "The One I Love" enjoy 👍🏻

automatic for the people an all time great cd

A classic!!

This is one of the best videoclip I have ever watched and one of the best song I have ever listened to!

Love R.E.M. so many great unique songs. The End of the World as we know it is one of my favorite songs.

„R.E.M.“ (each letter pronounced individually) is perfectly correct. The three letters are an abbreviation of the term „rapid eye movement“, which happens in a phase of sleep, when you dream.

I cry when I hear this song 😂❤

My favorite and the only song i know and like very much from R.E.M. collection , beautiful song which i'm listening everyday ❤

LOVE this video. One of rock's best. ("don't cry over spilt milk" is an old English expression)

R E M, Rapid Eye Movement! I think this is where their name originated from? The part of sleep when you dream.

REM shyni happy people. Buen video, Bisscute. Saludos

I love this song and this video.

I heard this song more of 100 times,but until this year I didn't know that I can do a good cover for this song,it was a big surprise also for me.

REM is a veritable gold mine of interesting songs. "Orange Crush", "Fire", "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?", and "Everybody Hurts" are the ones I would recommend.

Everybody Hurts and It's the End of the World as we Know It are definitely required listening from this band. These guys were pretty much untouchable during the 90s.

R.e.m is a Georgia based band who has been playing for 35, 40yrs and another great song for a amazing reaction is called orange crush,or what frequency Kenneth is a good one one for a reaction video 😮❤

Probably my favourite band of all time. Great song writing, great lyrics... And as many already suggested here in the comments...you should check out "Everybody hurts" next.

REM's music spans many sounds and generations, truly one of a kind band!

When i was watching the great drama school show Boston Public and REM sang the accoustic version of this song in it, i was so happy ;) REM were one of the best musicians/band ever. Their songs and music videos had a lot of influence. you should listen to: Everybody hurts, man on the moon, drive, at my most beautiful, the one i love, it’s the End of the World as We Know It. but at the end you should listen to all their songs :D
