  I thought the recorded version couldn’t be topped. I was wrong. Phenomenal. I could watch this on repeat forever. 09/01/2026

  It’s the middle of the night and I have just rocked my newborn daughter to sleep to this beautiful soundtrack, and tears of joy rolled down my face.

  This song is my secret. Too good to play for the unworthy, not sure they would understand. It is pure nostalgia, pure pureness, so bittersweet. Sadness and euphoria at the same time.<br>Deeply important and nonsense at the same time. A fraction of a lifetime that sums nothing up and makes it all complete in a few minutes. Thank you REM for making this piece of art.

  If you are alive while this band is still here, consider yourself blessed.

  This gives me all kinds of feels that I can’t explain. It’s part nostalgia. Part pain. Part love. Part longing.

  It&apos;s 2019, I&apos;m a sophomore at the University of Georgia. It&apos;s a Thursday night and I have a big exam tomorrow. I&apos;ve just spent the night studying with friends on campus. We head to snelling for a late night breakfast before going our separate ways. We have not only prepared ourselves for the test but strengthened our bond of friendship. With heavy eyes, I sit at a red light on my way back to my apartment. A cold January rain falls and the light dances across my windshield with each drop. This song comes on and I think to myself, &quot;I will never forget this night, this moment, this chapter in my life.&quot; And I never will.

  I love the look on Michael Stipes face towards the end of Mike Mills piano solo. A genuine love and admiration between band mates. What I’d give for an R.E.M. reunion.

  Wow. The respect in Michael Stipe&apos;s eyes for Mike Mills&apos; piano playing is just worth its weight in gold. So is the song. It never gets old. Still gives me a lump in my throat 😘😎
