HEY! Notice that its done that way. The zooming its on "the video" itself , not on the image. Also , it was 2001 and the monkey is playing mandolin. Why? I dont know, but i think Mike Stipe its cool .
@@RodrigoNishino Unfortunately AI doesn't create perfect images from such low quality. You would just end up with a video that has a very clear "AI" look. The only way for this video to look better would be if it were recorded on film but thats unlikely in 2001.
Did you know? "The entire video took 20 seconds to shoot. What you're watching is a loop that goes forwards for 20 seconds, backwards for 20 seconds, forwards for 20 seconds, backwards for 20 seconds, with one camera, static, and then using a technique called 'pan and scan', which is a technical thing that is used when they go from a widescreen format and reformat to fit your television or DVD, moving in on certain parts of the entire picture." How amazing

It's fascinating how sometimes u can wonder what bad you're listening to. And as soon as the singer with the super unique/recognizable voice starts singing it's completely clear haha
I have searched for years and years and years and years AND YEARS for this song. I remembered it from when it came out but didn't know any of the words. What a day
I'ts been the same for me until today.. always knew and remembered it since it came out, (and loved it SO much at that time!) but never felt the emergency to buy it or even go for it here on Utube, don't know why.. just enjoyed it when heard on some radio.. and since yesterday I've replayed it 4 times.. and realize this chorus is one of the 5 or 6 best I know.. Sure I'll go humming it for 2 or 3 days now.. that's what I call genius !
3:45 - 3:54 The little girl at the end of the video, she reflects shyness, tenderness and innocence, this scene brings tears to my eyes. After several years of watching this video, the message that I keep is life is made of moments, years go by, and the most important is being happy, enjoy the ones who make our life glad, and keep the innocence , pureness and happiness that children have. Other scenes that I like: 1:45 - 2:00 While the grandpa is going up by the stairs, he's singing: "That's sugar cane, that tastes good, that's cinnamon, that's Hollywood, c'mon c'mon no one can see you try". 2:52 - 2:55 The little girl cheering up a boy to be jumping into the pool.
Imagine having the creative brain power to come up with such concept for a video. And then executing it. This is a visual masterpiece, with a no less great music to inspire it.
There's so much more to it on a deeper level as well. 20 seconds of life passes by but we see it viewed from many different perspectives. I believe this is one of the most creative indepth music videos ever created.
And then Alt-J redo the concept in their video for "Tessellate". I thought that video was original, until now, now I see where they got their idea. However theirs is more artsy.
@@CelesticaDemonix Crowded House also did it, but only with a choir of kids singing their song. After this song was released. She Called Up. seriously.
@@NZBroadcaster And I can't help to wonder what other stories are buried under the main ones. I would like an aniversary edition where we could zoom at will and not what the director choose to show us. Now we have the technology for that. It won't be as impressive as this one, since the director's work is such a huge part.
Time passes so quickly. It's been longer since this song was released (22 years) than it was from the very start of REM as a band to this song being released (21 years).
For me, that`s the title track to being in Morocco without my family knowing because I was studying in Spain and phone calls were still so expensive we scheduled them by email. That trip when I was the sensible one insisting we should spend the last of our money on water and return tickets instead of weed ;-)
I can never stop myself feeling sad when listening to REM. As much as I love them, they were one of my Dads favourite bands. He died 15 years ago, but I just think of him singing to REM whenever I hear them.
Dr. Bombay - You’re right, I’ll try to remember some good memories! There aren’t many things which make me feel sad, but REM always was just one of those things. I think maybe one of the reasons I love them so much is because of the personal feelings behind it anyway.
I have no words to describe how much I love this song. The lyrics and the way Stipe sings are magical. This song reminds of one of the best times of my life, how I miss them :'-(
@@DineshJ I adore this song and video, but unfortunately it's inextricably tied to 9/11 for me, because i remember being in college and going to the student union building at the time of 9/11 and seeing this video. Always makes me feel a whole host of emotions and I get weepy every time I hear it.
I love this song so much. I loved it when I first heard it as 16-year-old back in 2001 and I still love it 20 years later. Definitely one of my favourite songs of theirs, and that's across all their eras.
Hard to believe this song is 20 years old already! I was 16 when it came out and one of the songs that really got me into listening to the group. It’s still a favorite for me and definitely a highlight from their years as a trio.
Positive energy and the catchy melody are just two of the reasons why this song is so addictive, but what really sets it apart is the lyrics, which invite introspection and reflect on the nature of life and reality.
Why doesn't this video get more love? Truly a work of art and I never tire of watching it. So glad I've been a "Chronic Town" life long fan of R.E.M. (next to RUSH, R.E.M. is my favorite band)
This is my favorite music video. Not because of the song, just the video. To me,it shows that every single thing that's happening is important. That while something seemingly important is happening, there are tons of diffrent little things that make the moment special. I don't know if I'm overthinking this as I always do, but yes, I love this. And the song is nice too.
Something I've only just realised is that some of the lip-synced parts are during the reversed bits (preseumably the actors has to mouth the words in reverse)! Like the woman sitting on the rock at 2:40, she's singing while her kid is reversing up the waterfall. I swear every time I see this I spot something new!
Me lembro com muito carinho eu tinha 5 anos e era uma madrugada e eu acordei com o volume da TV Meu pai tava sentado no sofá enquanto assistia uma coletânea de clipes do Rem Nós dois ficamos a noite inteira assistindo os videos e cantando as músicas Esse foi um dos bons momentos que compartilhei com ele enquanto ele era vivo E é impossível suprimir em palavras como esse pequeno tempo que eu tive com ele foi importante e mágico Kkkk hoje tenho meus 17 anos e sou um grande fã do REM por causa do meu velho Que deus o tenha
Well it was shot on film, probably 32mm, so it's basically equivalent to 4K in image clarity - you can see it better here th-cam.com/video/fJrgbCv6kcE/w-d-xo.html & th-cam.com/video/4Ew-E3jfK5U/w-d-xo.html - though if the video was shot on something like 70mm IMAX, you'd basically be getting the analog equivalent of 12K, but that wasn't very accessible or affordable especially back in 2001. The tricky thing & reason for blurriness beyond resolution though is that the camera is having to stick to a single fixed focal point as it's all one shot, in a scene with significant distance between the foreground & background relative to the camera, so regardless of resolution, some things are simply going to be out of focus because of how photons work. A modern digital 4K camera would still have this issue short of the method of multiple lenses to shoot multiple viewpoints in parallel & then using some algorithmic slicing to stitch all the elements together. The old tech version of this was split-focus to simultaneously get two focal points, but that's only useful for cutting a whole frame image in two, and the sections of the image in focus can't cross each other both horizontally & vertically at the same time. VHS only has a vertical resolution of 240 lines, so this is definitely not that lol. The colour grading looks like it's done to imitate a home video of the time though so that's probably what gave that impression.
I bought this alblum in 2001 because of this song... turns out over half of the songs on this album are amazingly great, R.E.M. thanks for the awsome music!
I feel like this song is calling me. Like if it’s saying “wake up! Wake up!”. First time I ever heard this and still it feels nostalgic. No song had ever touched me like this one
Gloria Head You are right. This song reminds me my childhood in the 90's and I think it's from this decade too. 🤔 I love this song❣ It's full of memories, feelings and nostalgia❣ 😍😌🎤🎚🎸🎹🎻🎵🎶♪♫♬❤💘💓💕💖💗💜💝💞💟
So clever, what a master piece. It moves something inside of me, the circle of life, the constant experience, the hidden details and different perspectives.❤I cry every single time
REM são um extraordinário grupo que nos deixam música de elevado nível melódico e estruturalmente muito bem construída, por músicos de elevada categoria! Ao longo dos tempos nunca nos desiludiram na sua constância e cada vez mais complexa sonoridade, típica de bandas de elevada estirpe musical. REM Forever and ever!!!
Oh this is just fabulous! I only discovered this a few months ago, and every time I listen to it, it just gets better and better. I've loved REM for years, they're just such a fun and charismatic group. And the lyrics in this song are so personally inspiring to me, so, even better!!!!!
Michael Stipe: "The entire video took 20 seconds to shoot. What you're watching is a loop that goes forwards for 20 seconds, backwards for 20 seconds, forwards for 20 seconds, backwards for 20 seconds, with one camera, static, and then using a technique called 'pan and scan', which is a technical thing that is used when they go from a widescreen format and reformat to fit your television or DVD, moving in on certain parts of the entire picture. And you'll see that we do that picking up various people within the frame."
Garth Jennings & Michael Stipe directed. They must've rehearsed really well before the "Action!" though; so much going on. It's a brilliant concept for a video too ofcourse.
I completely agree. I was never a huge fan of REM, but I vividly remember the first time I heard this song (from the music video) playing on TV. I was blown away and deeply moved. I finally understood what people saw in REM, and it was from a single noone else paid attention to.
LYRICS Charades, pop skill Water hyacinth Named by a poet Imitation of life Like a koi in a frozen pond Like a goldfish in a bowl I don't want to hear you cry That sugarcane that tasted good That's cinnamon, that's hollywood Come on, come on No one can see you try You want the greatest thing The greatest thing since bread came sliced You've got it all You've got it sized Like a friday fashion show teenager Freezing in the corner Trying to look like you don't try That sugarcane that tasted good That's cinnamon, that's hollywood Come on, come on No one can see you try No one can see you cry That sugarcane that tasted good That's freezing rain, that's what you could Come on, come on No one can see you cry This sugarcane, this lemonade This hurricane, I'm not afraid Come on, come on No one can see me cry This lightning storm, this tidal wave This avalanche, I'm not afraid Come on, come on No one can see me cry That sugarcane that tasted good That's who you are, that's what you could Come on, come on No one can see you cry That sugar cane that tasted good That's who you are, that's what you could Come on, come on No one can see you cry
This whole album feels like an artifact from a different timeline for me. I just remember listening to this album constantly when it first came out at work (at the former wtc) and being so hopeful/sure about everything. Before the songs seemed so uplifting in general and after 9/11 EVERYTHING was gone. It's so weird now because I still like the album but they just seem from another life/me that might have been.
My favorite R.E.M. song and one of the most underappreciated videos ever made. Brilliant. Genius. Whoever came up with this concept deserves massive recognition. How do you even plan out something like that? And the song...is beautiful.
@@fraserbailey6347 I don't know if there is a thematic concept other than suburban things all happening at once, just kind of a dull, middle-America day with tiny dramas happening. But the concept of filming 20 second bits, with several different cameras and having all the actors lip syncing along to different parts of the song, only to have the video focus on them at that exact moment...just a weird idea to try and it worked brilliantly.
@@fraserbailey6347it’s about how even in everyday life, not everything is always as it seems. In both good and bad moments, there’s always something to discover about yourself and the world around you.
If this isn't a masterpiece of recording, then I don't know what is. Imagine that the whole complex set, everyone having their part assigned, everyone performing their part simultaneously. And then they had to find each part and arrange them in the correct order and do the panning thing to get here 👌
I read that the video is actually only like 9 seconds long. They recorded for those few seconds, and they pan and rewind and such for the whole video. That, to me, is amazing.
Lembro quando esse clipe estreou na MTV Brasil, ano de 2001, eu tinha 16 anos, que saudade imensa dessa época, sou de Araçatuba SP, época da escola, 2°colegial, chegava 12:30, almoçava, e as 14 horas ia ao meu primeiro emprego como empacotador no antigo Supermercados Champion! (Carrefour), tempo bom que nunca mais voltará!
This strange,yet familiar melody takes me back to 2001,when everything used to be so easy,less-industrial than now.When we used to have little Nokias and Motorolas in our pocket,....all that is in the past now. ---- This song is lovely.
"less industrial" and "little nokias and motorolas in our pockets". Who would thought that brands will carv so hard in our society that someone thinks it's not industrial
Wow, I remember when I saw this debut on MTV back in 2001. I had just moved into a brand new furnished apartment and was busy moving all my crap in and took a 10 minute break to watch TV. It felt like a new day and new era for me and I remember this video leaving a strong impression as this song carried over in my mind in the months to come in my new town and home.
yeah I'm with you.At times I think I got it all figured out until the next 'scene' and I scratch my head again.Definitely one of the most creative videos out there.
I'm here, December 10 2024 my 80's child best freind shared this from serbia, it was playing in the market, forgot about this song, these guys are great and this video 😄
this song is like an old friend you haven't seen in ages.
Nostalgia
You are damn right
Emily Pollifax YOU GOT IT IN ONE.LOVE IT💝
I feel you!

Greatest video ever made and a top 1% song also
Absolutely right! Simply genial :D
Man I wish there was a 4K version of this video...there is so much detail, so many fine elements. Just a genius video to match a genius song.
There is too much zooming in it. I donT know how much the picture quality could be improved.
I don't ever remember it being anything other than grainy, even when it was on TV back in the day.
HEY! Notice that its done that way. The zooming its on "the video" itself , not on the image. Also , it was 2001 and the monkey is playing mandolin. Why? I dont know, but i think Mike Stipe its cool .
Sooner or later someone will come up with an AI enhanced version... I can only hope
@@RodrigoNishino Unfortunately AI doesn't create perfect images from such low quality. You would just end up with a video that has a very clear "AI" look. The only way for this video to look better would be if it were recorded on film but thats unlikely in 2001.

learning i s equired to undo mistakes

you here bro? love your channel. More grandpa stories plz
Brilliant. To me this music video is about nothing but life as it is.
I always found this song haunting--it's upbeat, but sad. I find myself listening to it over and over again.. Such a masterpiece!

Me lembro com muito carinho eu tinha 5 anos e era uma madrugada e eu acordei com o volume da TV
Meu pai tava sentado no sofá enquanto assistia uma coletânea de clipes do Rem
Nós dois ficamos a noite inteira assistindo os videos e cantando as músicas
Esse foi um dos bons momentos que compartilhei com ele enquanto ele era vivo
E é impossível suprimir em palavras como esse pequeno tempo que eu tive com ele foi importante e mágico
Kkkk hoje tenho meus 17 anos e sou um grande fã do REM por causa do meu velho
Que deus o tenha
Me emocionei com seu comentário, meus pêsames, seu pai está num lugar melhor
Quem me dera ter uma afetividade assim com o meu pai. Bem afortunado aqueles que tem seus pais como melhores amigos.
Não tive tanta sorte.

IL MIGLIOR VIDEO MUSICALE DELLA STORIA!!! E CON DISTACCO!
For some reason, this song fits so well with all we've been through lately...
Hi I recommend a song here on youtube called 'Looking Into The Mirror'By Robert Nix
It fits with everything you go through
Imagine if this was in 4k, those zooms would be so high def. The zoom on low quality VHS quality is charming though.
Well it was shot on film, probably 32mm, so it's basically equivalent to 4K in image clarity - you can see it better here th-cam.com/video/fJrgbCv6kcE/w-d-xo.html & th-cam.com/video/4Ew-E3jfK5U/w-d-xo.html - though if the video was shot on something like 70mm IMAX, you'd basically be getting the analog equivalent of 12K, but that wasn't very accessible or affordable especially back in 2001.
The tricky thing & reason for blurriness beyond resolution though is that the camera is having to stick to a single fixed focal point as it's all one shot, in a scene with significant distance between the foreground & background relative to the camera, so regardless of resolution, some things are simply going to be out of focus because of how photons work. A modern digital 4K camera would still have this issue short of the method of multiple lenses to shoot multiple viewpoints in parallel & then using some algorithmic slicing to stitch all the elements together. The old tech version of this was split-focus to simultaneously get two focal points, but that's only useful for cutting a whole frame image in two, and the sections of the image in focus can't cross each other both horizontally & vertically at the same time.
VHS only has a vertical resolution of 240 lines, so this is definitely not that lol. The colour grading looks like it's done to imitate a home video of the time though so that's probably what gave that impression.
@@InnuendoXP I'm almost certain it was shot on Super 8 or maybe 16mm in order to get the grainy look.
This video is a piece of art
R.E.M itself is art
Absolutely
Correct.
Like bosco
Happy music 😍
Unforgettable.. just love keyboard solo and Michael Stipes voice. REM - forever.
Una delle mie canzoni preferite. Mi ricorda tempi spensierati, come capita a tutti con le canzoni della fanciullezza. 💙
I love this track
R. E. M. my favourite group
Who'd you put so many spaces between the letters?
One of the greatest, most creative music videos... ever.
Simple idea + good execution = MASTERPIECE!!!
This song recall memories of my first love at high school, it was famous at that time, that autumn never I can forget ...
Essa banda é inexplicavelmente maravilhosa. Melodias simples e tão profundas...haja personalidade!!!
I bought this alblum in 2001 because of this song... turns out over half of the songs on this album are amazingly great, R.E.M. thanks for the awsome music!

My favorite REM song. Strange too since there are so many great songs. Something about the tone that's so pleasing.
One of the best songs in music history, so sad it doesn't have billions of views.
Essa musica me lembra a infancia, ouvindo a Radio cidade RJ 102,9 , a rádio rock. NOSTALGIA PURA !!!!
96.7fm local radio station in our province.. they playing this type of music during Sundays "Sunday slowdown" is what it called❤
The whole thing is a masterpiece
J'aimais énormément le " leader " .. du groupe ! .. 🎶💙
Michael Stipe: That's me in the corner.
That (comment) tastes good.
that's you in the spotlight.
He always liked it)
Fat Mike: That's me on the back of the bus
He's in the corner because he thought: Please don't take a picture, it's been a bad day.
A masterpiece. Despite the summery atmosphere, I think it's the saddest R.E.M. song in terms of lyrics
I would say 'Leaving New York' is the saddest in terms of lyrics, but I respect your opinion.
@@witekm2152 Leaving New York is so underrated for sure
In terms of lyrics and in terms of melody
I would say "Losing my religion" is but it's nice to see other people's thoughts
I think Aftermath is the saddest.
14/07/2023, Brasil. E eu ainda me surpreendo com a riqueza de detalhes desse clipe. É maravilhoso 👏👏👏👏
It’s truly amazing
Thank you Michael. You have been such a light in my heart.
I feel like this song is calling me. Like if it’s saying “wake up! Wake up!”. First time I ever heard this and still it feels nostalgic. No song had ever touched me like this one
Stipe you're great,the greatest .... :( 90's please come back
Gloria Head You are right. This song reminds me my childhood in the 90's and I think it's from this decade too. 🤔 I love this song❣ It's full of memories, feelings and nostalgia❣ 😍😌🎤🎚🎸🎹🎻🎵🎶♪♫♬❤💘💓💕💖💗💜💝💞💟
@ellengulinski7188 this came out 2001
Minha nossa, como o tempo passa.
Eu lembro deste clip quando era jovem.
Tempo que eu tinha prazer em asssitir clips de músicas lindas.
So clever, what a master piece. It moves something inside of me, the circle of life, the constant experience, the hidden details and different perspectives.❤I cry every single time
REM são um extraordinário grupo que nos deixam música de elevado nível melódico e estruturalmente muito bem construída, por músicos de elevada categoria! Ao longo dos tempos nunca nos desiludiram na sua constância e cada vez mais complexa sonoridade, típica de bandas de elevada estirpe musical. REM Forever and ever!!!
Good music is like a time machine transports you back to moments you thought you'd forgotten.
Well stated.
Sure does. Lots of airplay on WDST Woodstock NY listemimg back in happier times
Oh this is just fabulous! I only discovered this a few months ago, and every time I listen to it, it just gets better and better. I've loved REM for years, they're just such a fun and charismatic group. And the lyrics in this song are so personally inspiring to me, so, even better!!!!!
The thing about REM is that they are so dynamic, all the albums aren't the same for me thats a sign of truly talented and amazing musicians
Michael Stipe: "The entire video took 20 seconds to shoot. What you're watching is a loop that goes forwards for 20 seconds, backwards for 20 seconds, forwards for 20 seconds, backwards for 20 seconds, with one camera, static, and then using a technique called 'pan and scan', which is a technical thing that is used when they go from a widescreen format and reformat to fit your television or DVD, moving in on certain parts of the entire picture. And you'll see that we do that picking up various people within the frame."
Thank you so much for that!
Garth Jennings & Michael Stipe directed.
They must've rehearsed really well before the "Action!" though; so much going on. It's a brilliant concept for a video too ofcourse.
Rock in rio 1985 lo mas
Wow thanks for the explanation
"Pan and scan", as in zooming and moving around.
This video deserves way more views than it has. What a shame. Who's with me?
I completely agree. I was never a huge fan of REM, but I vividly remember the first time I heard this song (from the music video) playing on TV. I was blown away and deeply moved. I finally understood what people saw in REM, and it was from a single noone else paid attention to.
Fuck yea
I am 👌
memories smoK Classic Video. Very authentic.
@@Shan20x Totally agree.. :) It taught me to cherish small things in my life. All the best, my friend!
What a mind blowing video. The amount of preparation that went into this as well as the editing is insane.
This song is perfect!
LYRICS
Charades, pop skill
Water hyacinth
Named by a poet
Imitation of life
Like a koi in a frozen pond
Like a goldfish in a bowl
I don't want to hear you cry
That sugarcane that tasted good
That's cinnamon, that's hollywood
Come on, come on
No one can see you try
You want the greatest thing
The greatest thing since bread came sliced
You've got it all
You've got it sized
Like a friday fashion show teenager
Freezing in the corner
Trying to look like you don't try
That sugarcane that tasted good
That's cinnamon, that's hollywood
Come on, come on
No one can see you try
No one can see you cry
That sugarcane that tasted good
That's freezing rain, that's what you could
Come on, come on
No one can see you cry
This sugarcane, this lemonade
This hurricane, I'm not afraid
Come on, come on
No one can see me cry
This lightning storm, this tidal wave
This avalanche, I'm not afraid
Come on, come on
No one can see me cry
That sugarcane that tasted good
That's who you are, that's what you could
Come on, come on
No one can see you cry
That sugar cane that tasted good
That's who you are, that's what you could
Come on, come on
No one can see you cry
valeu seu zé ruela
Thank you for this
Thanks ♡
Thanks
Valeu meu mano 🇧🇷
This whole album feels like an artifact from a different timeline for me. I just remember listening to this album constantly when it first came out at work (at the former wtc) and being so hopeful/sure about everything. Before the songs seemed so uplifting in general and after 9/11 EVERYTHING was gone. It's so weird now because I still like the album but they just seem from another life/me that might have been.
I feel that so much
My 14 year old son has been obsessed with rock since he was little, he grew up listening to these songs ❤️🔥
Great song,brings me back,way back.
My favorite R.E.M. song and one of the most underappreciated videos ever made. Brilliant. Genius. Whoever came up with this concept deserves massive recognition. How do you even plan out something like that? And the song...is beautiful.
I agree. But much as I love the video I still don't really get what the concept is. I guess I'm missing something.
@@fraserbailey6347 I don't know if there is a thematic concept other than suburban things all happening at once, just kind of a dull, middle-America day with tiny dramas happening.
But the concept of filming 20 second bits, with several different cameras and having all the actors lip syncing along to different parts of the song, only to have the video focus on them at that exact moment...just a weird idea to try and it worked brilliantly.
Im with you
@@fraserbailey6347it’s about how even in everyday life, not everything is always as it seems. In both good and bad moments, there’s always something to discover about yourself and the world around you.
the whole thing that is called R.E.M. (videos, music, aesthetics) is what made me go and study film arts, such a great inspiration
Um dos clipes mais criativos já realizados. Uma obra de arte. Eterno. 👏🏽👏🏽💜
Man, I miss the early 2000’s.
If this isn't a masterpiece of recording, then I don't know what is. Imagine that the whole complex set, everyone having their part assigned, everyone performing their part simultaneously. And then they had to find each part and arrange them in the correct order and do the panning thing to get here 👌
I read that the video is actually only like 9 seconds long. They recorded for those few seconds, and they pan and rewind and such for the whole video. That, to me, is amazing.
At first I thought you were talking about the recording of the song lol. I was going to say "dude, that's how most songs are recorded"
Perfect music Video , also perfect for making a memory game
Parlate della musica dei rem grazie... 😮😅
Okay yeah, but go and watch Russian Ark if you really want to be astounded by such things.
Nevertheless, a great video and song.
Lembro quando esse clipe estreou na MTV Brasil, ano de 2001, eu tinha 16 anos, que saudade imensa dessa época, sou de Araçatuba SP, época da escola, 2°colegial, chegava 12:30, almoçava, e as 14 horas ia ao meu primeiro emprego como empacotador no antigo Supermercados Champion! (Carrefour), tempo bom que nunca mais voltará!
Saudade dessa época também!
musica sensacional.....
Absolutely worship rem have all the CDs Michaels vocals are exceptional and beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ my family love em ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ amen
I could listen to it for hours. Love it
This strange,yet familiar melody takes me back to 2001,when everything used to be so easy,less-industrial than now.When we used to have little Nokias and Motorolas in our pocket,....all that is in the past now.
----
This song is lovely.
"less industrial" and "little nokias and motorolas in our pockets".
Who would thought that brands will carv so hard in our society that someone thinks it's not industrial
It was easy because you were young and still not as worn down by life as you are today
Best piece of art.
never getting to old its brilliant
Beautiful video, like real life, R.E.M is one of the greatest bands ever, they deserve more recognition and respect as pop artists
Wow, I remember when I saw this debut on MTV back in 2001. I had just moved into a brand new furnished apartment and was busy moving all my crap in and took a 10 minute break to watch TV. It felt like a new day and new era for me and I remember this video leaving a strong impression as this song carried over in my mind in the months to come in my new town and home.
I remember first time I have watched this musicvideo was in February in 2010 here on TH-cam, because I have heard it on the radio. 🤔📻
A furnished apartment? Lucky you
I have to keep going back and forth in the video to see how they did this. That's how great it is.
yeah I'm with you.At times I think I got it all figured out until the next 'scene' and I scratch my head again.Definitely one of the most creative videos out there.
Odin Son The real video has only 20 secs but imagine how long it took for the director to sinc it
Luis Felipe Nogueira do you know how they recorded it? It was from real actors? they had casting and etc?
I'm here, December 10 2024 my 80's child best freind shared this from serbia, it was playing in the market, forgot about this song, these guys are great and this video 😄
