Sometimes.

This song is about being obsessed with someone while being so wracked with insecurity that being in love drives you crazy, and trying to hide your feelings from them. It helps to know that "losing your religion" is Southern (R.E.M. is from Georgia) slang for "at the end of my wits/losing my shit," and also to know that Michael Stipe, the lead singer/songwriter, is gay, and so he's really talking about being in love with another guy, a guy who probably isn't gay, and being afraid of giving himself away. Also, just for future reference, the name of the band is pronounced "Arr Eee Emm," with each letter said separately. "R.E.M." is an acronym for "rapid eye movement," which is movement in the eyes that occurs when you're asleep and dreaming. They're a great band, one of the major players in 90's Alternative Rock. You should check out their songs "Stand," "Happy Shiny People," "Everybody Hurts," and "What's The Frequency, Kenneth?"

Very spot on. A point to it with this song and the band in general. When he grew up, and when he made this music, the world had a very different view on being gay. Putting the lyrics into the context of him living in a world where in general people thought he was doing something wrong ( and not like today where in general people think its normal for people to follow their heart ) A bit like with Queen, it was something that could ruin people, and there where aids, that also was used against gay people by society in general. And putting that into the lyrics makes them stand more clear. its not just to fear to say to much because of love, but because if you say to much in a world where what you are saying can be used against you. And many things, there are really layers to these lyrics.

“Losing my religion” is actually an old southern expression for being at the end of one’s rope, and the moment when politeness gives way to anger. But if you were missing that key detail, you’d think that Stipe’s vague imagery was clearly a comment on the Judeo-Christian tradition.

That’s it’s literal definition, yes, but Michael Stipe has empathically declared that the song has nothing to do with religion. He said it’s about unrequited love; someone who pines for someone who doesn’t love them back. He’s never said anything in reference to song being about the literal expression or religion, though.

It's a double entendre. On the surface, it could be about somebody getting cussin' mad, but on a deeper level, he could be hinting that he's literally ready to give up on religion in all forms.

One the biggest songs from the 1990s, HUGE song

R.E.M. (and when you say it, you spell it out, like R-E-M) has decades of singles for you to choose from, so it's only right that you start with what is undeniably their biggest hit. Michael Stipe is one of the preeminent vocalists and songwriters of the 80s, 90s, and beyond. There are too many great songs for me to recommend, so I'll just list a few of my favorites - "Everybody Hurts" (one of the greatest songs EVER), "Radio Free Europe" (their very first hit), "Bang and Blame", "Man on the Moon", and "What's the Frequency Kenneth?" And yes, R.E.M.'s music is very artistic. They make you think. The lyrics are deep, often so much so that you can't discern a meaning. But that doesn't make it any less enjoyable to listen to.

The featured string instrument in this song is an acoustic mandolin. It's an instrument that has been around since medieval times and it has survived in the folk music of Scotland, Ireland, England, Wales, and American Appalachian and folk music traditions. You hear it in some rock songs, but it's rare enough that people who are not familiar with those other styles of music often can't place what the instrument is.

You forgot the most important country. Italy. Germany too. But the mandolin comes from Italy. A man named Pasquale Vinaccia of Naples created this instrument.😊

"Losing my religion" is a southern phrase meaning about the same thing as "being so disoriented that you can't point to which way is up", just way more picturesque and way more serious.

I love that you picked this one, but you have to listen to the lyrics very carefully. This one's really deep and surely can have different meanings for everyone listening. For my understanding it's about a man losing his faith in himself, people and God. He's lost trying to find himself again, questioning everything he thought he knew, felt and believed. I love REM and miss their performances. Just great artists all around💛

This song is about having a crush on someone and never having told them - and then standing on the corner at a party and losing your temper while you watch them with someone else. The lead singer is gay, so probably didn't tell most of his crushes in his teens, and had to watch them with girls at parties. 'Losing my Religion' in an expression meaning losing your temper. The song is nothing to do with religion.

"Everybody Hurts" is one of the Top 10 songs EVER. And the video is pure art, it will make you cry, guaranteed.

REM is REM. Hard to really classify beyond "alternative rock." As a Georgia girl, I grew up with their music and I never get tired of it. Every album sounds different, but all sound like REM. Highly recommend some of the older stuff "It's the End of the World As We Know It" and "Perfect Circle." Maybe "Driver 8." Also "Bittersweet Me," "Orange Crush".... I could really go on and would eventually have covered all their albums.

This is what is known as alternative music. R.E.M. pronounced R - E - M are their own sub genre within the genre of Alternative music. They started losing something of what made them R.E.M. after their album “Monster.” I remember the VMA’s the summer of 1991, right before my freshman year in high school. They won a lot of awards that year. Michael Stipe, the lead singer, wore layers of t-shirts so every time they came up he wore one with a different saying. For their last award he kept stopping during his speech to take a shirt off because he wore one for every award that they had a category for and he wanted to show them all.

The instrument that stands out is the mandolin. It's like a little acoustic guitar sort of instrument and once R.E.M. played this tune on SNL and it was maybe one of the 5 greatest musical moments of 50 years of SNL. 😁

Mike Stipe ( singer) was dear friends with Kurt Cobain. Mike Stipe and Patti Smith, the poetess of New York punk and CBGB's, did a gorgeous song together, called Ebow, the letter. It is serenely, hauntingly addictive.

I agree that "Everybody hurts" should be next. Such an exceptional song

"Losing my religion" is a southern thing meaning losing control and doing or saying something you would regret later.

Losing one’s religion is giving up hope

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.

This brings me back. I'm 37, so I guess I'm getting old, but I remember listening to this as a kid in the 90s, driving in my dad's Firebird. Can I just say, it's so cool that you're diving into older music. Not just music you like but other genres. Seeing you getting into Eminem and Linkin Park just geeks me out. I love seeing people appreciate music.

I met these guys in the 80’s when they were recording their second album. They are definitely some of the most down the earth artists I’ve ever met.

it was thought that the bands name came from the acronym R.E.M meaning comes from the dream stage of sleep known as Rapid Eye Movement however the band says it doesn't but I still question that as their songs tend to be dreamy lol

It is the crying of the soul, nothing calm about a HAUNTING story of loss!

It is a very moving song that speaks to your soul with every beat and heart beat.

This was a huge hit when it came out. That was around 1990, and signaled the beginning of alternative rock in the mainstream. R.E.M had been around since the early 80's, but this was a breakthrough.

Think about what it would be like to literally lose your religion-to discover that everything you believed was wrong, that you had to find the strength to carry your truth through all the hurt of feeling like you failed, wasted your time, made a terrible mistake. Now apply that to a relationship: your doubt and insecurity overcome you, you question your beliefs and actions, but you can’t unlearn your truth.

'Losing My Religion' is an expression meaning to lose your temper. This song is about having a crush on someone and not telling them, not about an existing relationship - and then being at a party while they're with someone else and you're in the corner losing your temper. The singer is gay, and so probably didn't get to tell his teen crushes, and also had to watch them with girls at parties. It's nothing to do with religion/belief.

Stipe has repeatedly stated that the song's lyrics are not about religion. The phrase "losing my religion" is an expression from the southern region of the United States that means "losing one's temper or civility" or "feeling frustrated and desperate. Stipe told The New York Times the song was about romantic expression. He told Q that "Losing My Religion" is about "someone who pines for someone else. It's unrequited love, what have you. Stipe compared the song's theme to "Every Breath You Take" (1983) by The Police, saying, "It's just a classic obsession pop song. I've always felt the best kinds of songs are the ones where anybody can listen to it, put themselves in it and say, 'Yeah, that's me.

This is my favorite song and i listened to it lots of times. He said things that I had no idea about. He really knows his music.

This video is well known, so I'm happy you did this version. Going forward, pick live versions of songs, they are the best! Try "Everybody Hurts" next.

This is one of the greatest songs EVER! And I mean it when I say ever.

To me this IS about love. All the insecurities that are felt when you try to tell someone how you feel. Afraid to be rejected. Not trusting yourself to know how you really feel and losing your confidence. Afraid to not meet the other persons expectations, or afraid to even try. The 'Spilt Milk' imagery at the beginning may represent regret for failing to take a chance. But it could also be regret for trying and being rejected. Now it is over and you can't take back what you said and all you can do is cry.
