      @@FlickanIDetKroktaRummet It's not a disgrace if you understand a little something about context. REM were ahead of their time musically and lyrically in the context of English-language popular music of the tail end of the 20th century. Leonardo da Vinci was one of maybe a handful of people in human history whose life and work continue to inspire and provoke centuries after his passing. He's timeless.

      I know that feeling when it comes to other great bands I wish I had given a listen to sooner. I'm 57, and although I've loved R.E.M.'s sound since I first heard them when I was around 20, I've only recently discovered a host of other great bands - The Hoodoo Gurus, The Feelies, The Dream Syndicate, and The Church. I have to admit, the Internet and sites like TH-cam make it much easier to discover new music than it was back in the day.

  • @katherynemero9355

    I remember growing up listening to REM. I liked their songs. But nothing touched me the way that "Monster" did. The first time I saw the video for "Bang and Blame," it floored me. They had my complete attention. It was so emotionally complex. It tapped into feelings that I didn't know how to express, and maybe still don't. It's really hard to admit that I always worry that I'll end up being one of my parents- I'll either be the banger or the blamer. That fear is kind of crippling. I don't feel like I can have any serious relationships because it's too risky. This song (and the amazing video) felt like the first and only time anyone understood that feeling. It's still a personal favorite.

    • @katalinhartai3977
      @katalinhartai3977 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      I also totally feel that R.E.M. hold something very deep, universal and almost mystical...poetry and emotions and feelings of the soul that you cannot express with words...only with the music, the amazing photography and art of the videos and the poetry of Michael...when I was studying American Studies in Budapest, and Halloween was coming up, and the turning of yellow and red of the leaves, my heart and mind exapnding with my studies and the poetry I was reading and writing at the time, the critical thinking our professors challenged us to, the feeling of the whole world and life ahead of me, and those nights, the crisp cool of the air, and then Christmas, when one year I think 1995 I asked for the Reveal album...sometimes, when I had no words to describe it, just these feelings and emotions of something bigger, something poetic and unexplainable, of love, lust and magic...I would say to myself: I've got that Michael Stipe feeling again. 😊 I still can't really explain the wealth of feelings and emotions this means to me, and a lot of us, something to do with the U.S., something with all of humanity, spirituality, and art. I love you, R.E.M! ❤👍🙏😊🌟❤

      @SuperYermother 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I hope to God you don't still feel this way. you are you, and you recognize something that is not you. That is a HUGE achievement on your part. Bravo! So you can move on, but you don't have to carry that into any relationship. Instead, if you see it happening address it with the person you're in a relationship with, and pray, pray pray to get over it, because, despite what all these agnostics believe (or profess they "don't believe") prayer does work. It got me over my dad's PTSD that I had somehow allowed to inhabit part of me... Don't ever give up.

    When I listen to this song it makes me think of my childhood. My parents had money and professional jobs, so everyone thought that I had it made, but really, they were both emotionally abusive. They tore me down and told me that I would never amount to anything because of my disability. My Mom was very obsessed with society's standards of beauty and told me once (when I hit puberty) that if I gained anymore weight she would wire my jaw shut. My father told me not to go to university because he felt my IQ was too low (I had the top mark in my psychology in University.) I used to think I was a failure in every aspect of my life and and then I realized the only reason I fail at a task is because I give up. I struggle daily with the voices that still haunt me but I tell myself "It's not my fault so let it go." I now realize my parents were the ones who had the problem.

    Monster is such a great album. I'm glad it's getting more love over the years because when it came out people were very critical of it. My favorite r.e.m. albums are automatic for the people, monster, and adventures in hi-fi. They took risks on those album without losing their voice. When my band opened a R.e.m. tribute show we had to choose from a list of songs (the headline got first pick) and this song wasn't taken. Hell it wasn't even on the list! So we opened the show with this song and the crowd LOVED it!

      I think it was obvious they were romantically involved despite stipe always said he was "my little brother" I mean almost all the songs he wrote about him was love songs. And the fact that stipe visit river in Utah and stay with him for few days to accompany riv shooting his movie dark blood despite stipe busy schedule to prepare new album said enough. Lately stipe said he spent 5 years grieving him. And 'at my most beautiful' the only love song stipe ever wrote about river too, the clue was all over the lyrics. The video even staring riv's sister Rain phoenix.

    If you could see yourself now, baby
    It's not my fault, you used to be so in control
    You're going to roll right over this one
    Just roll me over, let me go
    You're laying blame
    Take this as no, no, no, no, no
    You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
    Then blame, blame, blame
    You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
    It's not my thing, so let it go
    If you could see yourself now, baby
    The tables have turned, the whole world hinges on your swings
    Your secret life of indiscreet discretions
    I'd turn the screw and leave the screen
    Don't point your finger
    You know that's not my thing
    You came to bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
    To blame, blame, blame
    Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
    It's not my thing, so let it go now
    You've got a little worry
    I know it all too well
    I've got your number
    But so does every kiss and tell
    Who dares to cross your threshold
    Happens on you way
    Stop laying blame
    You know that's not my thing
    You know that's not my thing
    You came to bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
    Then blame, blame, blame
    Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
    It's not my thing so let it go, you
    Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
    Then blame, blame, blame
    Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
    It's not my thing so let it go
    You kiss on me
    Tug on me
    Rub on me
    Jump on me
    You bang on me
    Beat on me
    Hit on me
    Let go on me

      It was a bit of an experiment with Harder Rock and a lot of Back-Tracking. Playing music backwards live is difficult. And the album did not sell as well as their previous two. I liked it though. But New Adventures In HiFi was better. At least to my aged ears.

    I loved this song since I was twelve at that time not only did I have a crusty home life, but I was being bullied, and a gang member from juve in my school was trying to force me into being his girlfriend with the help of his friends and abused me terribly -so this song always meant the world to me. Reminds me people have choices on who they wanna be.

    Fall of 1994 when this album came out and I’m listening to this song in my 1983 Mazda RX-7 driving home from work on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago during my first year of teaching high school English after finishing grad school. Such a magical year!

    REM were the quintessence of rock alternative with this kind of track..
    I think many musician were hoping to be even close to their music

    I wish to dedicate this song to the precious souls we lost on Valentine's Day in South FL. May the Wind carry you home.

      Naw... The song has special meaning to many of us who have suffered pain from "soul-less" ones. Being an innocent, as we all are at one time - we all feel the pain.

    ...was in high school back in '94 when I first heard this song on VOA's medium wave band...the reception was not good but I tried turning the radio in all directions just to get a good reception. Just imagine the sheer frustration I had to go through when such a good song is being aired. It turned out I was only able to hear about 80% of the song. The good Ray McDonald was the host of the program Now Music USA... A lovely song I thought of it then up until now.🇬🇾

    Got this album in 94 from Columbia House records as an 8 year old. Used to take baths exclusively.. this gave me a half hour in the bathroom with the tape player. Put that thing on the toilet lid and rock out to this album
