📌 Losing My Religion. R.E.M (Liric) Oh life is bigger It's bigger than you And you are not me The lengths that I will go to The distance in your eyes Oh no I've said too much I set it up That's me in the corner That's me in the spot-light Losing my religion Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no I've said too much I haven't said enough I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try Every whisper, of every waking hour I'm choosing my confessions Trying to keep an eye on you Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool Oh no I've said too much I set it up Consider this Consider this the hint of the century Consider this the slip That brought me to my knees, failed What if all these fantasies come Flailing around Now I've said too much I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try But that was just a dream That was just a dream That's me in the corner That's me in the spot-light Losing my religion Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no I've said too much I haven't said enough I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try But that was just a dream Try, cry, fly, try That was just a dream Just a dream Just a dream, dream
Wonderful. Always fantastic to hear a song with deep and meaningful lyrics. Great husky vocals by Audra and brilliant to see Sam smiling and driving the song along because this song's backbone is truly the percussion rhythm.
Fantastic comment. You perceive sensitive details, husky vocals and rhythmic driving smile and at the same time you sense that the lyrics contain deep meanings. Could you share what you think they mean?
Thanks for your compliments. If I don't immediately understand what a song is about, I either listen to it a few times or look up the lyrics and read them separately or look at the lyrics while I listen to the song again. If I still don't fully understand what a song is fully about, I type in "[insert song name] lyrics meaning" into Google and either read a music website or the Wikipedia article on the song. If you look up the original song on Wikipedia, you will find out like I did that "losing my religion" is a southern US expression meaning losing one's civility and this is song is about unrequited love.
@@kiwichrix Thanks for your detailed explanation. One of the qualities that I most appreciate about Art is its interactive nature. When someone perceives a work created by another, they can recreate it in their own way according to their imagination, sensitivity and subjective emotions. In a way, this connection can awaken creativity in the other person who is no longer a mere passive spectator. We see a very clear example in the work of the actors. The same script can be interpreted very differently by each actor who, if he is good at his job, knows how to reinterpret the role, bringing his own vision to the character, his way of living it and making it believable. It happens in all forms of artistic expression and of course in music. That's why I love many F211 Covers, because they are not a strict copy of the original but rather they arrange and reinterpret the songs with their personal touch. And that is why I do not read the comments that only applaud and do not contribute anything of their subjective perception and instead I value opinions like yours in which you shared details of how you perceived this Cover by R.E.M. But that creative reinterpretation can not only refer to formal details of how you feel their music, but also about the meaning of their lyrics. Obviously the first step is always to try to understand what the author means, and if it seems confusing or too encrypted, it is advisable to resort to Google or personal interviews in which the author explains specifically what he is trying to say with his song. But then one can understand it from one's own perspective according to one's own ideas and experiences. That's why I was asking you if you had any additional interpretation to what Wikipedia provides according to what it could mean for you,
@@cesardelcastilloyurrita9344 I don't have any additional interpretation over what the original R.E.M. songwriters intended - that is how I generally enjoy songs because it is getting to know the singer/band a little bit more because they wrote the song to share their feelings about something. Yes, I agree art can be interpreted in different ways. Some songs are overinterpreted - the most famous example I can think of is the Beatles' "Lucy in the sky with diamonds" (this overintepretation annoyed John Lennon) and some songs are misinterpreted - the most famous example I can think of is Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA". This said, if a song particularly resonates with a personal experience then I would sing it with the memories of the personal experience that the song matches or at least listen to the song with the memories of the personal experience.
This is an amazing cover of a very hard song to get right, double as hard as a female singer. The intonation behind the vocals is perfect, adding the correct later behind the words. I specifically liked the way the line "that brought me to my knees" is sung, the small hint of shame in there is perfection.
The new little princess of Rock... Sensational, besides being beautiful, very talented... That back vocal of herself is so beautiful... In fact, she's about to become the new queen of rock...
That was an awesome job on this REM cover, I can honestly say that it’s one of the best I’ve heard. In 1993 I happened to be driving on a street above by I-10 when I noticed people gathering around and looking down on the freeway. I stopped to see what was going on and they were filming the “Everybody Hurts” video. I didn’t have a cell phone back then, otherwise I would have taken some pics. Looking forward to seeing you all in April here in SA
How many times have I heard this song... This is the first time I've been able to understand the lyrics, and you didn't sacrifice anything for it. Thank you.
Awesome job bring this gem back to life. You all knocked it out of the park. Wow, Audra i like your singing both low and high, which is a hard thing to do.
Damn. The leads vocals down in that lower register with the high counterpoints sprinkled in was hypnotic as fuck. Like, some soul-shivering shit right there. Loved it, keep it up.
Naw it was lifeless. No vocal inflection and flat…. Sorry but she did a D- in the whole thing. Layering the highs towards the end only made it less special. It was a flat experience. Listen to the first one and compare the vocals. The instruments were on point…
@@413xxx86 I heard the original version many times before....but Audra really nailed it... A Michael Stipe song is already very hard for a female vocalist as the vocal ranges contradict(baritone to contralto, mezzo-soprano,soprano)...despite the difficulties Audra made it her own.
What a great voice! I really wasn't expecting anything so awesome. I love the way you added original touches and enhancements, while keeping the sound and feeling of the original. Really well done! Thanks!
I have been listening to this song by R.E.M for at least twenty years. For some reason I loved it very much. You did a great job too. Yes, music is universal. Thank you very much. With love from Turkey.👏👏👏👏👍👍👍🧿🧿🧿🇹🇷🎸🪕🎤🪘🥁🎹🎼🎧
I did not expect such a faithful rendition of the original. I do not say that covers which modify a song are bad. Sometimes they are fantastic. But among the covers which try to be true to the original, this one is one is in the top 1%.
Cannot believe you guys did one of my most favorite song ever! this one is is too close to my heart, and Audra your voice is so resonating in this one, very well done buddy!
REM... i remember listening to this song with my dad. He was driving of course and we were on our way home from my baseball practice. He wasn't a great person but he was a great Dad.
Just a really fine one - and one of REM´s best known songs - here in a clearly harmonic way. Audra´s voice is pickin´ up the real emotions of this song accompanied by a well-harmonic sound. Fine and marveless !!! 😍😍😍
I really think i was dreaming because Doing as well as R.E.M I juste can't believe !!! But i must admit you've done it !!!! You're excellents !!! Bravo !!!
Stunning performance! Bravo. Amazing voice, amazing guitars and drums. Total synch. Better than the original. You guys take the cake. Audra is fabulous.🎉❤😊.
Tengo muchos años siguiéndolos y me parece excelente lo que hacen. Cantas muy bien, todas las canciones de diferentes autores y cantantes lo haces muy bien. Me gusta tu voz.
Ah, you guys did that with such a nice slow, smooth grove. It would be so easy to overplay that one but you guys did a great job! Nice F211 spin on it.
This is a brilliant cover of my favourite R.E.M song but hearing this also because I've been an R.E.M fan since I was five years old and I've seen them live and what really pains me is the fact that because They have retired or broken up or whatever happened t he one thing that I will never get to do is see one of my favourite bands live 😢😔
A good song stands up no matter what the singer and musicians decide to do with it, and this is a very good song. This is also a very good cover. You've made it your own, and it sounds great.

There’s no emotion….
Editing the secondary vocals are a hack move.
The instruments did a great job.
¡YOU'RE AMAIZING!
Audra your vocals are 100 percent phenomenal and you rock guys ❤️❤️❤️
Stunning performance, fantastic vocals fantastic band.
Agree 100%!
📌 Losing My Religion. R.E.M (Liric)
Oh life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spot-light
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
Every whisper, of every waking hour
I'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up
Consider this
Consider this the hint of the century
Consider this the slip
That brought me to my knees, failed
What if all these fantasies come
Flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
That was just a dream
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spot-light
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
Try, cry, fly, try
That was just a dream
Just a dream
Just a dream, dream
Omg this is one of my all time favorite songs from back in the day!! You rocked it!! Awesome job!
my mom can sing much better than her.

Тембр голоса очень необычный-красивый, по крайней мере к этой песни подошло идеально, удачная идея, тем более с такой солисткой. Спасибо и браво.❤
Audra, at 3:04, I loved your added background vocals!
You are amazing!
Matt, Ryan, and Sam, as always, you nailed it!
Great cover…
''If i can do it'' part really got me
Loving this era of putting out covers of older songs!! You guys are doing them justice, which most covers don't tend to
И да, ещё спасибо вашей группе музыкантов. Большой респект. Професионально, браво ребята.❤

I agree, I'll take her over taylor swift any day of the week. The best part of the video was the leather pants.
Audra just nailed those backing vocals, and all the little changes in the instrumentals are great, amazing work guys!

Wow, regarding the EH video. I always wondered how they shot it without affecting traffic, etc. Thanks for the info.
How many times have I heard this song... This is the first time I've been able to understand the lyrics, and you didn't sacrifice anything for it. Thank you.
Вы попадаете каждый раз на мои любимые песни, спасибо и браво. Очень удачно.
NEVER CLICKED ON A VIDEO SO FAST. I hope this one is available on iTunes. Great job guys Patiently waiting on The Unforgiven!
Its on spotify and thats all that matters spotify is king
@@Mitch-wc9zx far from it
Great cover! Very well done. Audra your vocals are incredible!👍😎
I love it when bands just nail these covers…well done…
Such an amazing cover of an already fabulous song. The guitar, bass, drums, and vocals, just wonderfully done.
Awesome job bring this gem back to life. You all knocked it out of the park. Wow, Audra i like your singing both low and high, which is a hard thing to do.
ALWAYS CLASSY! Love your covers!! Rock On! 🎉😎😎😎
I was literally searching for a decent cover of this two weeks ago and F211 comes in clutch with an excellent rendition!
Damn. The leads vocals down in that lower register with the high counterpoints sprinkled in was hypnotic as fuck. Like, some soul-shivering shit right there. Loved it, keep it up.
wow fantastic, excellent musicians and Audra's voice like an angel
It's really hard to put out a Michael Stipe song as a female vocalist.But Audra,you nailed it perfectly.
Naw it was lifeless. No vocal inflection and flat….
Sorry but she did a D- in the whole thing. Layering the highs towards the end only made it less special.
It was a flat experience.
Listen to the first one and compare the vocals.
The instruments were on point…

Good softer acoustic cover, agreed. If you want to hear a good(IMO) cover in the opposite direction, Lacuna Coil did one..
@@413xxx86It's her style
I agree! The band is really great too.
Already one of my fav chill songs along with Fix It, Chasing Cars, The Reason, Patience, and Let Somebody Go!!!
Sensacional!!! Além dessa icônica interpretação, parece-me que ela faz o backing vocal também... Ficou Show demais...
What a great voice!
I really wasn't expecting anything so awesome. I love the way you added original touches and enhancements, while keeping the sound and feeling of the original. Really well done! Thanks!
Got a goosebumps when I listened to this track . Really very nice band . Keep on playing guys you all rock . From India
Très belle interprétation d'Audra, bravo à tous pour votre belle version acoustique 👍❤️

Cannot believe you guys did one of my most favorite song ever! this one is is too close to my heart, and Audra your voice is so resonating in this one, very well done buddy!
The high power chords on the guitar in place of the mandolin was a creative touch.
Damn okay this is my favorite cover of yours so far. All the little added vocalizations are a REALLY nice touch!
REM... i remember listening to this song with my dad. He was driving of course and we were on our way home from my baseball practice. He wasn't a great person but he was a great Dad.
One of the greatest hits of all time. Well done!
Probably the best cover of "Losing My Religion" I've ever heard! Wow!
The best cover is from Gravewom. This one is too happy
The bloody best cover I've heard so far!
Great music from a great time.
What a wonderful rendition. As always you did this song justice. Love it!
This song has a really special place in my heart. You really nailed it with this version you performed! ✨
There are so many subtle variations in tone and pronunciation that it changes the overall tone of the song. Very well done
This has always been my mother's favorite song and band.
Just a really fine one - and one of REM´s best known songs - here in a clearly harmonic way. Audra´s voice is pickin´ up the real emotions of this song accompanied by a well-harmonic sound. Fine and marveless !!! 😍😍😍

Weird Al should have done a parody of this song.
Lol 😅...
What if all these manatees come floundering in...
Lol good one 😂😂😂😂😂
SOOO GOOOD OLDEI
love that song...
In anticipation for the Scott Pilgram anime coming this Friday, this is attempt 25 of asking for a studio cover of Black Sheep by Metric
Wow.. I.... Yeah. I've loved this song since it was first released. This was perfect.
Ah, you guys did that with such a nice slow, smooth grove. It would be so easy to overplay that one but you guys did a great job! Nice F211 spin on it.
You guys never put out a bad song. This is superb. Love it when Audra does the lower ranges
Absolutely perfection. You nailed it 👍👍

A good song stands up no matter what the singer and musicians decide to do with it, and this is a very good song. This is also a very good cover. You've made it your own, and it sounds great.

Great. This is what we were waiting for!
Eu nunca perco a fé em vocês
I love this song so much. Shawn James did a great cover as well.
Absolutely well done 👍
great cover of this song
Love this song and this is a great cover!
Your band makes the best song selections to cover. Brilliant!
Killer rendition!!!
If any of these were on the radio, they could be no.1. If I ran the charts anyway. This is how music should sound
Her body movements when she sings 😍😫
She knows what she's doing
just perfect...
Delightful, I love it!
I've wanted this one for so long!
Amazing cover and as a bonus she has a real, natural beauty.
What. A. Great. Video. This song was always one of my favourite REM songs. And you guys nailed it 100%
