Everybody Hurts

When your day is long
And the night
The night is yours alone
When you're sure you've had enough
Of this life
Well hang on
Don't let yourself go
'Cause everybody cries
And everybody hurts sometimes
Sometimes everything is wrong
Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone (hold on)
(Hold on) if you feel like letting go (hold on)
If you think you've had too much
Of this life
Well, hang on
'Cause everybody hurts
Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts
Don't throw your hand
Oh, no
Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone
No, no, no, you're not alone
If you're on your own
In this life
The days and nights are long
When you think you've had too much
Of this life
To hang on
Well, everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody cries
And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes
So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts
You are not alone

 

Good song, but it saddens me to see you posting it.

 

Used to hate REM with a passion.

But after about 2 hit singles you never heard from them again, so now I feel sorry for them

 

This is because you are a fascist misanthrope.

 

REM rules.

 

I really like this one. Very hopeful for when someone finds themselves in a terrible dark time.

A little secret: I find regular pop songs and find ways to tie them to the Supreme Love (i.e. God, I'm a Unitarian Universalist so our idea of God is fluid and is all about love and acceptance).

This some could easily be said to be God or Love talking to someone who is deeply depressed. In my opinion.

I like it though, really good one.

 

I'm sorry I said this it was pure impulse. I do like you whatever your take on life.

 

.....and becuase Stipe was one of those tossers who thought people actually care about a musicians political opinions because they like a few of their songs

 

I like REM's music but can understand why people have a problem with Stipe. He did get a bit up himself. But, you know, everybody hurts.

 

Live Aid, the whole time Bob Geldof was just doing it to get himself rich, and everybody fell for it, current net worth $150 million

Whats that got to do with Stipe?
Same thing, plenty of wealthy people out there that give to causes you dont hear about becuase its not about self promotion

 

I like REM we played that song at my wife's brothers funeral he was a Schizophrenic and always trying to hurt himself ! Sad song but of hope
