I heard in an interview R.E.M. recorded this song in one take down in New Orleans one night around 2am. Stipe totally blew Peter Buck’s mind as most of the lyrics were being made up on the spot. Sometimes artists and athletes get into the zone and can create magic.

This particular version is just out of this World. The music arrangement is stunning, and the steel guitar player is from another planet, what an incredible sound. Total respect to a band that has stood the test of time. ✊👏✊👏✊👏🙏

This has always been my 2nd fave REM song. Some stunning songs came after it, I don't know if any bettered it though. This has so much heart and soul in it.

This is the best version of this song in my opinion. I remember seeing this as it was aired and still have the VHS tape with the full concert. It is nice to see negative comments, it is what makes us human. Even tone deaf people have a button to press then. :)

Oh wow - I didn't catch this when it aired! Michael is such a beautiful man.

Saw this on Later the night it came out , stunning performance ..love the lap sterl... apart from comfortably numb - Pulse this is still my favourite live performance by anyone.

I have this on loop right now - hits all the spots

I love this song so much. this is a great version, but i wish peter had let loose with some feedback like on the record. bj cole is doing a beautiful job on pedal steel. he walked past me when i was sat at work fixing bikes on the street in palmers green the other week. made me smile to think of all the great recordings and performances he has created in the last 40years... and there he is with a bag of shopping.

Been listening to this song for 31 years. Just watched this with tears in my eyes. Spine tingling stuff. Michael is unbelievable.

Love this song. Always one of the highlights of their live shows. Was lucky enough to get to see them 5 times.

One of my favorite R.E.M songs. Michael Stipe's voice is one of God's most beautiful gifts.

Souls would stand up shoulder to shoulder 😢this is very touching and amazingly performed by singer and musicians alike perfect harmony from start to finish ❤

saw them live a number of times, great musicians, sounded as good as their records, few do. this is just a sad, beautiful song, and an outstanding performance

Michael so magical, the world we live in is very depressing that song lift me up everytime I listen and watch it. Thank u youtube, thank u REM. Remember every moments.❤❤❤❤

This song and particularly Michaels voice in it, haunts me. Love the words. I need this !!!!!!!

For the first time in my life, I've stopped this song halfway through. I'm going to hug my wife- I still have her. :)

I thought I'd found the best version by now. This one tops them, maybe. Or maybe it's just an awesome song and every new one blows you away again.

One of my favorite REM songs... performed brilliantly. God, Jeremy Clarkson is a really good steel guitar player.

My favorite R.E.M. song. Nightswimming is #2 -may sound macabre but it’s on my funeral list. One of my favorite groups.

I remember singing this while watching an R.E.M. video on vhs at 14 years old. I didn’t understand the intent, but the emotion captured me forever.

I saw them on tour for the Around the Sun album (not their best album by far) however they took fan votes every night for a song request. Country Feedback beat Losing My Religion by 2 to 1 pretty much around the world, Peter Buck ripped out a guitar solo in the middle of it which surprised me as he is quite tame on the albums when it comes to solos most of the time but he put it in the pocket live and the crowd went nuts at the end of the song. It is one of the best indi songs written in the 90's and it's in my top 5 favorite songs of all time. And that album also has Low, Belong and Half a World Away any band would kill to have written just one of those songs. Out of time had so many songs that could have been singles. For me it's up there with Neil Young's Needle and the Damage Done and Nine Inch Nails - Something I Can Never Have. Having said that Leave of New Adventures in HiFi is amazing as well. Check out the version of this song that Neil Young does with Michael Stipe as his annual benefit concert he rocks the nuts out of it. REM were one of history's most consistently amazing bands, there were two low point albums but they came back strong and finished with a couple of really solid releases. Now I just have to hope Spoon and Radiohead keep releasing albums otherwise it is quite bleak out there.

You and I share a brain. And a heart.

I always feel like I have a friend when I listen to REM music. This and bang and Blame are my favorites

I miss REM, too. Such an iconic band. I love everything they've done. Michael is beyond moving.

I never knew I needed this as much as I do, outstandingly mesmerising 😍

one of my favorite R.E.M. songs, these guys are so freaking underrated. It's a travesty! Beautifully honest songwriting here and an ethereal atmosphere with that slide

Underrated? You haven’t kept up on stuff. REM is everywhere, and in every Rolling Stones heart too. One of the greatest bands ever. This is widely known.

25 years ago? That’s crazy. To quote Michael Stipe “I need this.” What a song.

Absolutely stunning version, especially with the pedal steel

REM..We Miss You. I still remember your live gig at The Balloch Castle Country Park ( early 2000 !)..After I & a couple of friends had travelled to Glasgow Barrow Lands To See Travis Live... Brilliant!

One of my all time fav tracks, when performed live REM always lift it to even higher levels-Michaels vocal 😮amazing , its fckn 'Crazy...' 😅

So deeply missed. This outstanding band have change my life and a big live savior to me. Thanks guys for all these beautifull memories i have saved in my heart and soul❤

That steel guitar sound is haunting. Beautiful version.

They like Little Mix ?

There are a very select few along with Stipe that get such feeling and emotion through their performances. This song is just beautiful in its sadness.
