If you've been in a car late at night lay on back seat as a child with your parent/s driving you (about 7 miles home) you have a special connection with the lyric 'Here's a scene you're laying down, the windows wrap around you, the sound of the travel and the engine, all you feel is time stand still in travel, you feel such peace and absolute, the stars are the greatest thing, and they're there for you'. Infact it becomes one of the best lyrics of all time.
My grandparents lived three hours away. We would visit twice a year. Christmas and summer. Lots of falling asleep in the backseat on the way home at night. Yeah, that hits home...
Sometimes I feel like I can't even sing I'm very scared for this world, I'm very scared for me Eviscerate your memory Here's a scene You're in the backseat laying down, the windows wrap around To sound of the travel and the engine All you hear is time stand still in travel And feel such peace and absolute The stillness still that doesn't end But slowly drifts into sleep The stars are the greatest thing you've ever seen And they're there for you For you alone, you are the everything I think about this world a lot and I cry And I've seen the films and the eyes But I'm in this kitchen Everything is beautiful And she is so beautiful She is so young and old I look at her and I see the beauty of the light of music The voices talking somewhere in the house, late spring And you're drifting off to sleep with your teeth in your mouth You are here with me You are here with me You have been here and you are everything Sometimes I feel like I can't even sing (say, say, the light) I'm very scared for this world, I'm very scared for me (say, say, the light) Eviscerate your memory Here's a scene You're in the backseat laying down, the windows wrap around (say, say, the light) To the sound of the travel and the engine (say, say, the light) All you hear is time stand still in travel And feel such peace and absolute The stillness still that doesn't end But slowly drifts into sleep The greatest thing you've ever seen And they're there for you For you alone, you are the everything For you alone you are the everything
Never knew Bill Berry, REMs drummer could hold his own on the bass. Nice going, Bill! I played the drums as a kid for a few years and am familiar with the relationship between the drummer and the bassist. It's said that the bass and drums are the heart of Rock 'n Roll. It's inspiring and quite telling to see a drummer play the bass.
This is so cool! I had looked up a tutorial for the mandolin part to try to replicate on ukulele. This is very helpful. All of Buck's chords are in full view. A beautiful performance from one of the greatest bands.

Sorry to be pedantic but this was at Wembley Arena, not the stadium. There's a big difference. Looks like it was recorded at the soundcheck. Great song. Best band ever, purely on the merits of their '80s output.
REM is AMAZING . . . . grew up listening to them in the 90s. Newer generation of bands like Grizzly Bear and Beirut are also wonderful, but when you listen to this song it makes you realize how derivative the new sound is.
I look at her and I see the beauty of the light of music …wow

Same! :)
The whole song hits
I'm in my 70s and this takes me so far back to good, safe memories.
Damn quite a few times late 80s I played this a lot on my walkman in the camper on the VW bus pickup on the drive from San Jo to Reno. U nailed it 🙏🏻

“Say, say the light” Stunning.
i see the beauty of the light of music
and my heart sings with this sacred song
Sometimes I feel like I can't even sing
I'm very scared for this world, I'm very scared for me
Eviscerate your memory
Here's a scene
You're in the backseat laying down, the windows wrap around
To sound of the travel and the engine
All you hear is time stand still in travel
And feel such peace and absolute
The stillness still that doesn't end
But slowly drifts into sleep
The stars are the greatest thing you've ever seen
And they're there for you
For you alone, you are the everything
I think about this world a lot and I cry
And I've seen the films and the eyes
But I'm in this kitchen
Everything is beautiful
And she is so beautiful
She is so young and old
I look at her and I see the beauty of the light of music
The voices talking somewhere in the house, late spring
And you're drifting off to sleep with your teeth in your mouth
You are here with me
You are here with me
You have been here and you are everything
Sometimes I feel like I can't even sing (say, say, the light)
I'm very scared for this world, I'm very scared for me (say, say, the light)
Eviscerate your memory
Here's a scene
You're in the backseat laying down, the windows wrap around (say, say, the light)
To the sound of the travel and the engine (say, say, the light)
All you hear is time stand still in travel

The stillness still that doesn't end
But slowly drifts into sleep
The greatest thing you've ever seen
And they're there for you
For you alone, you are the everything
For you alone you are the everything
Haven't been able to get this song out of my head the last 15 years.
Arin Kambitsis Great song to have in your head atleast.
I haven't been able to get this song out of my mind since 1989.
If you can keep it in your head another 15 you'll probably see the second coming with it in your head. (I reckon).
30 years , still there . I always come back to it
@@OneTimWhatley me neither
REM are one of the most inspirational musical ensembles in the history of popular music.
One of my top 5 favorite songs of all time. So beautiful and perfect.
Jessica Merritt Check out Green Grow The Rushes, another great song by REM
Jess. Similar. Def in my top 10, 20, 30, or so. Maybe in top 5.
They are the best band ever
In any case, it is clear that REM should be considered the best band for many people
Ultimomonodelanasa word
Perfection! Meaningful!
Everything!
this song is one of the reasons cause REM is one of the best bands ever.
This is an REM song I went from not caring that much for to being perhaps my favorite one.
same, grew on me as I got older.
This song and "I believe" are my favorite songs ever.
Fantastic band , fantastic tune .
the stars are the greatest thing i've ever seen
rem knows how to create a universe

Looks like Eli Manning 😂
Mike Mills on the sqeezebox. Macon, Georgia WOO HOO!
Good catch! Just notified Bill on base. He is noted in interviews stating that he thought drums were dull and wished he played something else
The Greatest Band.
Enriching lives.
Thank you for this !
I saw them for my first time on this tour and the memories are everlasting.
The Live performance of this song (Green Tour) 🎶 takes the listener to MAGICAL places
Brilliant. I was at this gig of the Green tour and this brings back such memories. I wish the whole show was on here ....
me to ;-) Throwing muses were great support as well
Me too and RDS Dublin 2 days later
@@frankcousins6479 I missed them. I seem to remember the gig started very early in the evening.
You're welcome! Always it's a pleasure talk about REM.
wedding song.....killer

How many drummers step up and play a bass part for one song, then get back behind the drums for the next? That'll be R.E.M.
one of their best.
Thomas Howland Yep. Green grow the rushes though.

Never realized how amazing it is live!! Even after I've seen them.
Masterpiece

That's why the title says "Live at Wembley Arena". Nice use of the word "pedantic", you brits are impressive!
Jeunes beaux talentueux rien à faire c'est le meilleur groupe pour moi 👍👍😍😍😍😍😍

Merveilleux 😃😃😃😃😃
this comment is....just the truth. you have shocked me! thanks!
Amazing!!!

Wow, nice.
It don’t get much better
'.......and your drifting off to sleep with your teeth in your mouth' - amazing lyrics to amazing music. Typical REM!
Michael with hair!
He did have amazing hair back in his younger days then it started to thin a bit so we all know what he did
"Someone had a bus to catch".
Pretty much sums up "Green" for me; some great songs, yet.... way too fast.
Great on "Tourfilm", though.
Eviserate your memory
What a song...
