Truly one of the best songs ever sung. Thanks guys, your music transcends time and makes me believe the garbage on the radio today will go away. That would be so great!
It's funny because if you didn't know who he was, you wouldn't expect this skinny and sometimes even sickly looking quiet unassuming guy in a basic t-shirt to come out and belt out THAT. When the music starts, Michael just has this complete and utter command of the song and the stage. While he may not look like it in the traditional sense, he's a rock star in every sense of the word.
I’m a french girl so excuse me for my bad english. This song is magical, I remember the first time I hear this song, yes it’s 30 years agon. You miss me REM !
Michael Stipe posesses that intangible trait of being able to make all of the lyrics sound meaningful and memorable. And thats on top of having a voice that simply cuts through the music to dominate, even though he's not that loud. The perfect lead singer basically.
Quite simply the best live performance of a great song of all time, if there was a worlds got live talent show at that time, They would be head and shoulders over everyone else. Simply the best...
MICHAEL tes chansons sont des merveilles je les aime toutes elles sont tellement vraies parfois tu donnes de l'espoir à beaucoup de gens qui vont mal et qui grâce à tes chansons restent la tête hors de l'eau.pour tout cela MERCI d'exister LOVE LOVE LOVE 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
I remember hearing this song for the first time when I was 11 and thinking it was the best thing i'd ever heard...R.E.M were the best thing through my teens and music now on a whole is so important and a daily obsession. Watching this now and I realise that i'll never get that buzz of a new release again....They were and still are great... such a shame.
Just like a lot of people think that The One I Love is a love song..but it is far from a love song. In fact..it's about as far away from a love song as one can get. And yet..people use it as their Wedding song. :-) :-)
They keep the tempo slow like the original. Brilliant drumming as most drummers would get over excited at playing such a brilliant, crowd pleasing song. But the drummer just keeps it slow and the slow tempo of this song is what makes it more powerful, more moving. There are so many times in the song where you feel they’ll speed up, but the drummer just keeps it steady. This enables the whole crowd and the band to really bask in the song, really enjoy it, savour it.
Pretty sure Bill plays to a click track to keep him in time. Not trying to insult you by what I’m about to say, but gonna leave it here just in case it may help you or someone else.. 😊 A click track or a metronome through an in ear system is just a constant pulse in the tempo of the song so the drummer can line up their kick drum on 1 and 3 and the snare on beats 2 and 4. I always place my click to the exact bpm of the song so each hi hat or ride strike lines up with each 1/4 or 1/8 note, depending on what the song calls for. This song would be 8th notes. Lastly, you are exactly right. He does such a great job of leading the band in tempo and rhythm. Bill is one of a kind! There is another live version here on YT that he really pushes the tempo. He would be off beat if he sped up any faster. I’ll edit this comment and link it to you! REM!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2JAjC7BSqAA.htmlsi=03XQWbWKrcUWidr2
Es difícil hablar de canciones favoritas...porque cada día van surgiendo nuevas...Rem...si que puedo decir que estás en el ranking de lo mejor que he escuchado en mi vida. Les admiro. ...como me gustaría estar en un concierto de esos contigo!, bailando como locos, sin importarnos quién nos vea alrededor...algún día. Te anhelo.
I was only about 6 years old during this, but man, crowds like this hardly exist anymore. Now everyone has to have their stupid phone out while not moving around at all to the music.
@@Alan-gi2ku, yep. That's the primary, but the violin in this (and the original) brings a gravitas to the song that is essential. Now I have heard this live, I miss it terribly on other live versions.......
Michael Stipe... You Put Your Eyeliner Better Than I Put Mine On. I Poked Myself in The Eye Once. HAHAHAHA. Ouch LOL LOVE ALL IF YOU GUYS!!! GO REM!!! ❤❤❤😘😘😘
Still praying for a reunion tour. Or at least a concert. A song maybe? C'mon guys!! They said they felt it wouldn't be right to have told people about their plans sooner, but I, for one, would rather have known the last time I saw them was going to be the last time I saw them :\
One direction ; popular since 2 years ago REM ; begin in 1979 and they are popular in the 90 But in the future (10 years for exemple) between one direction / REM ; who is in the memories ??
