“Losing my religion” a Southern term meaning I can’t take any more, there’s nothing left. It’s about a relationship where trust is lost or you’ve lost faith in a persons commitment. “The lengths that I will go to The distance in your eyes”, “Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it”, “Trying to keep an eye on you Like a hurt lost and blinded fool”.

According to the singer, the expression 'losing my religion' is from the South. It means giving into your anger, losing your cool, or being at the end of your rope. You're just beyond your endurance. Although some one CAN apply it to a loss of religion that is not the main meaning. It is about being pushed beyond your 'polite public' face. He's standing in corner. He's trying to stay out of it. Then, he's put on the spot (spotlight). He's being pushed. He's tried to stay out it---but you keep shining the light on him. He's losing his ability to put up with this crap. But he's not supposed to get pissed. He should keep his mouth shut before he says too much. Before he says things he can't take back. Yet, he hasn't really said the truth that needs to be said. Is that just a dream where he expresses what he thinks? He has to keep his civility but he can't quite do it. He's 'losing his religion'. Video is weird though. He comes from a Methodist minster background and always had an interest in Buddism which peeks out in the video.

Orange Crush is what they used to call Agent Orange. Once you know that, it contextualizes the whole song.

My son who’s 31 now could sing this word for word when he was 2 . One of my favorites.

Losing My Religion, released as the first single from the R.E.M.’s 1991 album Out of Time is definitely a remarkable song. With its beautiful, and rather surreal music video, it listed 4th on The Billboard Hot 100, was nominated for several Grammy Awards from which won two, and was constantly spun on the MTV. The music video was directed by an Indian director - Trasem Singh, who admitted that it was modeled after the Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s short story A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings in which an angel crashes into a town and the villagers have varied reactions to him. The clip has a moody art house feeling to it, and was created in a style of a type of Indian filmmaking, where according to Stipe everything would be “melodramatic and very dreamlike”. The video was also based on the inspirations drawn from an Italian painter Caravaggio, as the scenes from the clip strongly resemble the style of the painter’s work, and filled with religious motives and tableaux, or, so called “living images” portraying Indian deities. Many controversies occurred with the song’s questioning of faith, however unlike it may seem, it actually is about unrequited love. The phrase “losing my religion” is an expression from the southern region of the US, that means “at my wit’s end,” meaning as if things were going so bad you could lose your faith in God

Now , you gotta try thier masterpiece " Everybody hurts "

What I absolutely adore about songs like this, is there are so many ways we can interpret the lyrics, & it is really up to us, as how we feel the song relates to us! **Great reaction**

According to Wiki: The music video for "Losing My Religion" was directed by Tarsem Singh. As opposed to previous R.E.M. videos, Michael Stipe agreed to lip sync the lyrics. The video originated as a combination of ideas envisioned by Stipe and Singh. Stipe wanted the promo to be a straightforward performance video, akin to Sinéad O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U". Singh wanted to create a video in the style of a certain type of Indian filmmaking, where everything would be "melodramatic and very dreamlike", according to Stipe. Singh has said the video is modeled after the Gabriel Garcia Marquez short story "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings" in which an angel crashes into a town and the villagers have varied reactions to him. Director Singh also drew inspiration from the Italian painter Caravaggio and the video is laden with religious imagery such as Saint Sebastian, the Biblical episode of the Incredulity of Thomas and Hindu deities, portrayed in a series of tableaux. The music video was nominated in nine categories at the 1991 MTV Video Music Awards. The video won six awards, including Video of the Year, Best Group Video, Breakthrough Video, Best Art Direction, Best Direction, and Best Editing.

This takes me back to being little in my grandma's living room watching MTV when they still had music videos damn I feel old😂❤

R E M stands for rapid eye movement. It’s when you are in deep sleep and someone observing you can see your eyes moving back and forth under your eyelids. Most likely in a dream watching the action.

Video, The title of the video refers to an old expression, often used by Grandma's in the deep South, when someone makes them so mad they almost forget who's they are, lose their religion, and say something they'll have to ask forgiveness for later. It's a song about frustration, living in the unknown, and existential crisis. If you notice, scattered throughout the video are numerous religious and mythological references, including Icarus from Greek mythology and Doubting Thomas from the Christian Bible. REM (pronounced like an acronym: r e m), started in the early 80s in Athens, Georgia. With a foundation of southern culture and roots music, "Losing My Religion" typifies the band's early '90s sound. Compare "Losing My Religion" to 1994's, "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?" It's a huge shift from one album to the next, but this has always been my favorite track, after "You Are the Everything," from their 1988 album "Green." Dr.L

I heard this song over and over again in the 90's. It sounds so fresh today 25 yrs later! Thanks for the video, and the people who analyze it, it still confuses me

Ohh dude, you are doing my favorites todaaaay. R.E.M. (said as separate letters) was my obsession in my teenage years. You are right about Michael Stipe's voice! It is unique and instantly draws you in, and the band has a signature sound once you get to know them. You might fall down another rabbit hole as the band has a very deep catalogue--they didn't start out mainstream, in fact when they did get more acclaim they fell into the "alternative rock" category. Losing My Religion was their biggest hit and the video won an MTV award. The director was an avant garde filmmaker, so what she envisioned might not have been what the band was actually singing about, but it worked! On the whole, their videos are pretty arty anyway. But sooo many great songs to check out: Radio Song (nobody has reacted to this yet!! it's SO GOOD! maybe do it with Queen's Radio Ga Ga, lol), The One I Love, It's The End of the World as We Know It, Stand, Fall On Me, and be prepared to cry during Everybody Hurts. It's incredibly moving and the video is breathtaking.

I was born and grew up in Georgia (Atlanta, Athens, etc) and remember this song being MASSIVE when it came out in the late 80s - as a little kid, I was hooked on it. 'Losing my religion' is a very old southern saying when you're fed up with something/someone, as in 'boy if you don't behave, I'm gonna lose my religion with you!' (and proceed to whoop the devil outta him!! LOL ;)

I wish I could go back in time to when I heard these songs for the first time. Glory days

Some 90's suggestions: Scatman John - Scatman Mr Big - To be with you Snap! - Rythm is a dancer Coolio - Gangsta's Paradise Toni Braxton - Unbreak my heart Aqua - Barbie Girl And an 80's: John Farnham - You're the voice

The dance came in last minute, they had an original concept, it wasnt working, so Michael Stipe said hey just let me dance. He was inspired by the talking heads and his weird sporadic dance moves lol

The song is about an Unrequited love but I think we all found deeper meaning in this gem of a song.

I love R.E.M. please please please keep reacting to them! Shiny Happy People, Everybody Hurts and well all the other songs everybody else is suggesting!

Please react to REM Everybody Hurts.

That mandolin specifically and the overall instrumental is exquisite...peak R.E.M. territory

Omg you never ever heard this song before? I love this song since 15 years 😍 I not living in the US at all :) But really good that you explore it now.

Thank you for feeling the lyrics...the sympathetics are classical works of art brought to life

Apparently this song was written when he had a crush, and he was trying to drop hints to this crush and getting frustrated because he wasn't sure whether his crush was getting the message or not. Losing my religion means "losing one's temper".

R.E.M. Oh yeah, another great band. 💜

imagery is religious, catholic, old. Very old. But I'm a southerner and if somebody says, "You're about to make me lose my religion", it means they're about to cuss or go off on you, which is, of course, against most religions.

This is one of those songs that can mean different things to different people There’s a whole lot of songs from the 90s that are damn near impossible to understand because it’s not straightforward It’s a song filled with metaphors💯

Musically, this song is a masterpiece. So much complexity going on. In the music and lyrics. Just brilliant.

R.E.M IS AMAZING! HE WAS GREAT FRIENDS W/KURT COBAIN❤ Michael Stipe, the singer inducted Nirvana in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame

This is one of my favorite songs from the 90s. I get super hype when it comes on. Lol.

I thought it was when you meet someone so perfect, that you'd do anything for them. Seeing them for the first time makes you think, I'd lose my religion to be with that person.

This song is, like a lot of people have pointed out, about the end of a relationship or rather a specific commitment. However there is more to this tune: the singer, Stipe, was at the time struggling with his sexuality. Lines such as " I'm choosing my confession " expresses how he struggled to come out and thus put on an act when in society. " Consider this the hint of the century " will echo with a lot of queer folks who throw hints here and there to the people around them to test the waters. Stipe was raised in a very religious household and while, yes, the title is a southern term - here it also deals with his mental health and the way he felt alienated from himself due to his sexuality.

One of my favourite songs...have loved this since the first time I heard it...Thanks for doing it!!! 🖖🏻🇨🇦😊

This song was one of the only Billboard top.ten hits to feature a mandolin. A fun fact.

others have explained what "losing my religion" means. Coming from Michael Stipes lips (he is a distant friend of mine) This song is about the control the recording industry was trying to exert over the band, he was trying to keep his mouth shut but it was coming to a point of him losing his religion on the executives that wanted the band to become more pop-oriented.

'Drive' is a freaking awesome song and video, 'Stand' and 'Radio Free Europe' will have you dancing, and 'What's the Frequency Kenneth' rocks.

He's pulling some shaman shit with his dancing.....absolutely adore your joining in with all you videos! Love ya man! 😽💘

One my favorite REM songs! Everybody Hurts is another!

My absolute favorite song of theirs.

This song/video are so legendary. Thom Yorke from Radiohead did a video for Lotus Flower where you can clearly see some of these dance moves from this video going on.

This is a beautifully filmed video. They are recreating famous paintings, several by the Italian painter Caravaggio and at least one by Vermeer (he was Dutch) with religious and Classical Greek themes (such as the story of the inventor Daedalus' son Icarus, who tried to fly to the sun with wings attached to his body with wax). Keep your reviews coming--you are really fun and spontaneous!

I like this song a lot but have always been confused by the video. Try “everybody hurts” next. Great song and much easier to understand! 🔥🔥

Their song "Everybody Hurts" will tug at your emotions ❤️

I heard the lead singer/writer say himself that this song is about being in love with someone, but not being brave enough to tell them or make a move.

R.E.M. Rapid Eye Movement. The stage of sleep when your eyes flick inside your eyelids when you dream.
