"Put simply, R.E.M. wrote ‘Everybody Hurts’ to save people’s lives. Everything about the song was designed to stop teenagers from committing suicide; from the straightforward lyrics to the dramatic string arrangements to the beautiful melody, the song hits directly where it counts - the heart." Drew Wardle

@mspicer3262 3 года назад

As somebody who has been there, I can tell you that when you are in that place that is so dark, so crushing, the only way you see to get out, is simply to not exist anymore... you *won't* call a crisis line, you *can't*, because you don't see yourself as something worth saving. If you don't get lucky, like I did, and have somebody from outside of your situation intervene directly, you probably won't survive. I nearly didn't. Check in on your friends. Especially the ones you have always seen as strong. I was always the rock, the one who was there for everybody else when they needed somebody. I think knowing that I could break really scared a lot of my friends. I lost quite a few in the years since. The road to recovery is a long, arduous one. It's never one that has to be travelled alone, share your load with those who offer to help, and be willing to help shoulder the load of another. Together, the load becomes lighter. And look for the ones who have isolated themselves from any group, they're usually the ones who see themselves as outcasts, or not belonging. A compliment, or a brief conversation about the weather, could be the bright spot in their week. Never underestimate the power of your words, or of a single, random, act of kindness.

@davidpost428 3 года назад

@absgbkm 2 года назад

I agree. I've battled depression almost 35 years after one suicide attempt. I wasn't a teen but when my mind goes to dark places I have a tendency to shut myself off from people. The only thing that helps is medication, my fur babies, and music especially this song. I have played it so many times. The past year has been the worst so far. I lost my lab mix to cancer, then found my husband dead. He was sick but I always thought he would die in a hospital so that was traumatic. I had to sell my house of 26 years and move to a mobile home that I only could afford as is which means it needs alot of work. I'm also in a part of town away from all my friends and I don't have family. Two months ago I lost my chihuahua who was closest to me out of all the animals I have had to cancer. I've finally agreed to try therapy again but I'm on a waiting list. I'm a strong person and people keep telling me that but a person can only take so much so I am thankful for music because it's always there when no one else is.

@mspicer3262 2 года назад

@@absgbkm I'm so sorry for your losses, that's heart-breaking. My deepest condolences. "To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die". You need to make sure that your friends know that your strength doesn't just come from within you, it comes from within THEM as well. As another adage goes, "no man is an island". Or woman, for that matter. Be well :)

@bhikku23 Год назад

There have been times when I was younger, closeted, and unmedicated that what kept me going was just knowing that I was not alone, that other people had felt like I did and I was not beyond being understood. This song definitely reaches out to give people that connection.

@_bats_ 4 месяца назад

I think that's the real power of this song. It's so sort of direct in a way that can, in so many cases, come off as ignorant or condescending because telling someone in a dark place to just stop feeling that way is so deeply unhelpful, but then it completely flips the script by putting that imperative ("so hold on") into the context of absolute validation and understanding of that dark place.

I actually met the lead singer, Michael Stipe, a few years before they released this song. They were just starting to get known. In the midst of pre-concert chaos I found him to be one of the most intense, focused, and engaging personalities I have ever come across. It was strange. Mayhem was going on around us, but there was this bubble around him of....calm.....We spoke for a bit, he asked some pointed questions then went to get ready. Really a great personality.

@bernardreeves3382 Год назад

Having seen him in many interviews, I really relate to the picture you’ve painted of this meeting. Not that I doubted he would be genuine, down-to-earth and curious, but it’s still really nice to hear it affirmed. Thanks for sharing!

One way to take the end of the video: Everybody has chosen to leave their problems (represented by the traffic jam) behind, and have gone on into some unknown future.

I think I remember Jay saying that he likes the piano, so I would recommend REMs Night Swimming. It's another slow song, but the piano and lyrical imagery more than make up for the tempo.

Another great song that has been credited with helping many people change their minds about hurting themselves or suicide is "Don't Give Up" by Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush. It's an incredible duet from two musical geniuses (in fact Elton John said this song saved him from drug overdosing). ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VjEq-r2agqc.html

My bestie died on the 12th April 1997 from cancer aged just 34. She had already chosen this to be played at her funeral months before she died as she knew she was terminal. I sat with my darling friend the night before, she was in a coma in her room at home, and I told her how much I loved her and what she meant to me, fully believing that she would still wake up. Her little 2yr old daughter Grace came into the room and called Mumma, and there was no reaction, and then I knew and started to sob. We came home that night, and we’re coming back the next day and my husband had a phone call and walked over to me and said Cass (her older daughter) had just rung, and I said please don’t say it, I don’t want to hear it!! She had just died and they wanted us there so we got into the car and I was sobbing, and this bloody song was on! I knew it was her, trying to help me, and comfort me but I just cried harder. I sat with her for ages, stroking her hair, talking to her and thanking her for her love and loyalty. This song has come on at various times in my life since, usually when I need her, and I know it’s her. I miss that beautiful girl every day of my life. I love you so much Meredith ❤️

@craigdugan3443 2 года назад

Thank you for this. I am almost 54 years old and still cry my eyes out at this song. It hits so hard. I used to be in a very dark place and probably thought of suicide more in one day than most people do in their lifetime. I felt as if I failed at everything. That feeling, oddly enough, is the only reason I never tried. Because I thought I’d fail at that, too. I managed somehow to change my thoughts and with that came a change in my life. I’m somewhat successful, I live in a beautiful home with a beautiful wife, I have 4 incredible grandchildren and life is good. I’m so blessed to be here today and every day. My wife and I do a thing every single day at dinner where we say one thing that we are grateful for. That alone keeps us grounded and humble. So please, if anyone is reading this and struggling inside, message me. Talk to me. Talk to someone. You are special. You are loved. Please hang on. It’s worth it, trust me. ❤️❤️❤️

They should react to the film. It’s great to watch the band perform. I’ve seen them many times beginning with small venues, like CBGB’s. First time I saw them was at a public school auditorium in the east village or lower east side (NYC). Thry didn’t have an album out yet but they already had a sizable following. Saw Tom Tom Club at CB’s too. I love the TH’s earliest stuff but best was the Remain in Light tour at Radio City (NYC) with added musicians, e.g., Adrian Belew, one of my favorite guitarists: saw him with Bowie, with King Crimson, and solo several times in small venues like the Bottom Line (so sad when it closed: one of my favorite venues-who Didn’t I see there?): almost 40 years ago, right after his first solo album, the delightful Lone Rhino; 10 years ago or less at Joe’s Pub-a tiny space, and a couple years ago at a jazz club he would play at annually); Nona Hendrix who I love, etc... Angélique Kidjo did a performance of the entire Remain in Light album! She’s so good. At Carnegie Hall’s smaller, new, performance space, David Byrne came as down from a tier seat to join her in a song. Pretty sure it wasn’t rehearsed, as it took a few minutes for them to harmonize... the beginning was so off. I videotaped that and a few other songs with my cellphone. The following year she performed it outdoors for free! Ok, the concert knocked me out... but when they toured Speaking in Tongues, I was moved in a different way. I love that album so much and Naive Melody (This Must Be The Place) is my favorite TH’s song. That and Book I Read, and Don’t Worry About the Government from their 77 album. When they performed that song I was literally in tears. Not something I ever do. Guess I got carried away with stream-of-consciousness writing, so I’ll stop now. As a NYorker who loves music and who has gone out to hear it live, often, since I was 14 . . . 1/2 a century ago...I could go on writing forever.
