Michael Stipe said this is his all time favorite REM song. He only had couple lines written down and the rest was just whatever popped into his head!! Amazing.
I heard in an interview R.E.M. recorded this song in one take down in New Orleans one night around 2am. Stipe totally blew Peter Buck’s mind as most of the lyrics were being made up on the spot. Sometimes artists and athletes get into the zone and can create magic.
@@christinekelley7879 They may have recorded multiple takes of the song, but I read an interview with PB who described Stipe just riffed and and came up with the recorded version in one main take. I just wanted to share what I read, you can take it or leave it. Merry Christmas.

"It's crazy what you could have had..." I think most of us have been there at some point in our lives. It's probably Stipe's most naked lyric. Awesomeness personified.

REM-Green, 1989, USF-Sundome, Tampa, FL.... I was 14 and it was my very first concert. I was smitten with them. Awesomeness, I tell ya! Magickal indeed! 🙌
Michael so magical, the world we live in is very depressing that song lift me up everytime I listen and watch it. Thank u youtube, thank u REM. Remember every moments.❤❤❤❤
I was in my sophomore year at URI when this came out. I remember hearing this (maybe not this rendition)!on a late Saturday night after my girlfriend of 3 years brought me up with me. The lyrics shook me as I applied them directly to my heart.
Defo. We had a Friday in the UK where Radio 1 were suggesting people should wear a T Shirt of their favourite band. I couldn't at the time, but wondered what I would wear. I immediately went to Radiohead but then remembered REM and realised I couldn't separate the two, especially if its the earlier Folky rock type stuff by REM which I love over their later albums
When I was 21 I listened to Out of a Time so often that my ears bled, and while many of the songs, even those that many would consider classics today, began to wear out, Country Feedback was always the song that I never felt I had finished listening to. This has only been reaffirmed through many, many years of further listening and I hope and pray that it always will. This is a beautiful version of that wonderful song
The slide guitar player has looked down at his gear so long he has four chins…that’s dedication, and I don’t mean that in a bad way…buddy loves his instrument and the tone comes through, thank you.
The best version of one of the greatest songs ever written. The incredible BJ Cole adds such atmosphere to it, and Michael Stipe's voice never sounded better.
it reminds me of my father , now passed away, as he never liked modern music . driving to Felixstowe in old volkswagen listening to this on a tiny speaker ...
It's interesting that as a young man, I screamed these lyrics...along w/ most REM songs, and now, so many years later, I feel what I might've felt back then. I remember a small party where we all sang, loudly, Green in its entirety. Still loving REM.
@@coolenaam there was no real need for a correction. If you really felt the need to then you could’ve done it in a way that didn’t come across so ‘I’m so clever. Look at me’. If that’s not how you meant it then I apologise but it is how it looks to me
The brilliant BJ Cole on pedal steel guitar adds a layer of magic to an already beautiful piece of music, I never tire of hearing this version. If you aren't familiar with the great man just check his history, he has played with some of the greatest artists in music
This song just envelopes you- slowly seeping into your soul. What a performance, what an amazing band. So lucky to be there when R.E.M. was in its prime, still lucky to be able to listen to them in 2022.
I remember staying up to watch this episode of Jools Holland, first episode he did with just one band. I recorded it on VHS... it seems a lifetime ago but jeez what music.
Man this song has so much meaning to me. Back in the 90's listening to this at night on my SL1210 smoking a spliff, just when me and my first love split up.. Wow.. What memories....x
One of my favorite R.E.M songs. I lived in England for the best part of 2 decades and loved watching Jools Holland. Somehow this one escaped me. Beautiful. It absolutely blows my mind. Amazing version.
This is the best performance of this song that I have found. Stype's voice sounds just about perfect here. this is an amazing song.......its on a maddening loop
REM..We Miss You. I still remember your live gig at The Balloch Castle Country Park ( early 2000 !)..After I & a couple of friends had travelled to Glasgow Barrow Lands To See Travis Live... Brilliant!
They played in Belfast in 2005. Before they started Michael had said they were trying to cover their less played material. They opened with I took your name and this was an encore. It remains the best gig I've ever witnessed.
I was there too! This has always been my favourite REM song. The performance that night was great... this is perfect. It’s just so soulful, the slide guitar adds so much to the feeling of the song
This song sounded like nonsense to me as a teenager. As a man in my forties, it sounds like a biography. Love this band
Amen brother 🙏🏽
Indeed 😊
It's the equivalent of seeing faces in clouds. Stipe is singing random nonsense over a moody backing track. From that we create our own meaning.
I’m in my 40’s too but I adored this song when I first listened to Out of Time ❤
Funny how things work
2024 and I still watch this ever week and cry ❤️
I've been watching it every week also and It still sounds as good now as it was in 1998, it's just epic ❤️
Me too.
Makes me smile.

Best comment ever. No words. Just feelings. Thank you. ❤️
So miss REM . Their music was the background to our lives in the nineties. This live version is stunning
Damn straight
And 80s too.. early stuff as good as or better
Improved eye makeup too 😀
where can we now find New Adventures, Michael? Nothing comparable anywhere . . .
yes yes. They were poets out in the world that I could connect with as a poet myself.
Yep best version I've seen and heard and no coincidence he's off his trolley !
One of the most underrated REM songs of them all. Highlights Michaels vocals in such a unique and powerful way
Its their finest IMHO
Michael says it’s his best ever song
It is the very best. Pure poetry set to music.
Underrated? Everyone knows the significance of this song.
one of the best songs ever written!

One of my favorite R.E.M songs. Michael Stipe's voice is one of God's most beautiful gifts.
the glitter around the eyes suit this song. they look like tears. beautiful , beautiful track
This reaches the soul. Calmness, devotion, longing...
"It's crazy what you could have had...I need this" one of the best couplets ever written.
