I think this song saved my life, when my husband died I completely gave up.. it's been almost 16 years since cancer took his life. Then my beautiful baby granddaughter died, and then my brother, and my mom died in December 23, now my big brother is dying again from cancer 😢 I come here and play this song over and over again, because it reminds me to just hang on. God Bless everyone out there, somehow we will be okay
To the 71 year old at home alone listening to this incredible song . You are not alone!! God bless !!!! Beautiful song such passion poured into this !!
I am 68, and it's been 4 months since my wife passed from cancer, and it has left me lost. I can't seem to get my bearing. At my age, I don't have much of anything to offer, so when someone says, hold on, don't give up, why would that apply to me? I eat every other day, I'm back to working 5days a week, I have no life, and deth for me is one step away! So for me, this song acknowledges that loss is real, and some are crushed by the weight of its pain. I love the song!
Oh Arthur, you don't have to get your bearings yet, it's only been 4 months since you lost your wife.. you have alot to offer but the time is not right for moving on yet for you, everyone has their own pace.. sadness is a terrible thing and I understand absolutely about not wanting to be here any longer, different circumstances but pain is pain.. I think it's harder as we get older, I'm 64 and when I feel like letting go....... I listen to this sometimes 6, 7, 8 times in a row, loud, I cry, I get angry, I get terribly sad but I keep playing it until it clicks........Hold On 💗
So Sorry to hear about your loss. No words can ever bring comfort to your broken heart. But, Because You loved your wife so sincerely, it shows that you Love passionately. That means you have LOVE in your heart that you can give to someone who is going through the same feelings like yours about their loss of a loved one. Look for that someone and share your Beautiful Love. Talk to a friend when you hurt. Sometimes it helps. Prayer can also be helpful. May Jehovah God comfort you. 🤟
20 years later, June 2023, this remains a classic ❤and deservedly so. When anyone feels on the edge, ready to give up, this song will always remind us that "Everybody Hurts" -- thanks to REM and Michael's unforgettable performance ❤😢 ❤
the words "hold on" literally saved my life. I was seriously considering ending it, and this song came on the radio. I agreed to hold on and trust that my life and relationship with my two daughters would somehow improve. And with work and love it did.
I've never understood people who say that this song is depressing. To me, this is a song that recognises you are sad, upset or anxious, puts a comforting arm around you, empathises with you and takes you to a less distressing place.
I have watched this dozens of times. Today. it's my turn. My Dad, Michael William Thomas Mitchell, died this week aged 87. He was a working class dad, and a great dad. Family was all he had, all he wanted, and all he cared about. RIP Dad.
I'm so sorry for your loss! I'm here because my poor momma is in the hospital dying of stage 4 lung cancer! She has been , as of today only days to live , and I don't mean to sound rude , but today I'm grateful for her to be finally be ready , and emotionally and mentally she is more then ready to be free of her old and aching earthly body! We've talked about the end on many , many occasions as I have been her sole caretaker for the last 3 and 1/2 years and belive me when I say I would do it all over again even though it was the single most difficult thing I've ever signed up for in my entire life! The time I spent looking after her and the memories I alone will have , man you can't buy that kind of time!! Helping her to mentally and emotionally prepare for her final journey was a once in a lifetime trip, I just hope and pray someone is there for me when its my time to transition!! The thing that is bothering me the most right now is that she can't have 1 visitor to see her and she really has got to do this all alone because of covid restrictions!! If I had known I wouldn't have allowed them to admit her , I would have and should have just brought her home so I could hold her as she takes her last breath as she held me when I breathed my 1st breath!! Again I'm sorry for your loss!! Much love , kindness and compassion to you and yours at this difficult moment!
God bless you. My young son recently died and his Dad took his own life. So much pain , so much sorrow. Today is the anniversary of my Dad's passing too. June is a month that I just can't cope with. R.E.M. Give me hope. Xx
You ain't lying. Every generation faces different hurdles. And the same. We gotta remember that. It's thru struggle also that we learn hard truths in life that can't be taught. Gotta experience them.
✨️🌹✨️When my husband died 22years ago.He was only 52yrs old.This song played on the radio and i googled it and put it on my phone.When im feeling sad I listen to it over and over.......It helps to cry and gets rid of all the aches.✨️🌹✨️
My husband died in my arms on 1st May, he was 42 the pain is unbearable, no-one will replace him I feel what ur feeling xx listening to our songs makes me feel closer to him x sending you love
My daughter told me about this 🎶 song, she said it reminds her of her brother. I listened, & agreed. Her brother, my son, was 18 years old when he died. 💔. We miss you, kid! Gone to Heaven; in the arms of Almighty God! 🙏🏼
I think I had enough , but my journey is not over so I'll put my shield and continue my walk in life, Today I'm doing good and greatfull for the people who do care. Thank. You 🌍❤️😘🥳😜
It's really something when you find a song like this while you're in the middle of a breakdown. It's like life itself is telling you not to give up. Thank you REM.
My thoughts are with you. Life is tough at times and I want to get off this crazy path. I lost my dad last year and listen to this often to keep me going. God bless xx
This. Song pulled me off my addiction...I went through 18 years of heroin.I remember. Laying in my room looking for ways to kill my self...just because I was tire if this shit...this song pulled me through,I'm 3 years sober today...THANK YOU
Glad you got sober. I'm trying to again as well. Try to Listen to the Allman Brothers song ` just ain't easy`. Your Heads severely pounding from the night before,... but baby you keep on going back for more, .you want so bad to leave this whirlwind storm... but you can't find no place.. to grab on .... ..so round and round you go again... Just ain't easy.
This guy saved my life thank you I can speak to my grandchildren now if it wasn't for you you I wouldn't be here today thank you so much take comfort in your friends
TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU I DON'T BOTHER AND NEVER HAVE OR EVER BOTHER THIS LISTENING TO TUNES READING COMMENTS IT'S A GREAT WAY TO STAY IN TOUCH MUSIC HAS DEFINITELY HELPED ME AND ALWAYS WILL SO HAVE A GREAT DAY 🥰
I have fought for the past 7 years for my son's life. He is a good man who happened to marry a very abusive wife. He was in the Army and instead of listening to him they put him on drugs~! We got the dreaded call one night from the MPs that he had overdosed. He was in Oklahoma at the time and we are in NYC. My husband flew out and bought him home. We spent many months fighting for him and visiting him in psych wards. THIS song did the trick and finally got him to open up about what was going on his marriage!! He is now divorced. He is still living with us. I can proudly say his last attempt was 3 years ago. He graduated nursing school this year and is now studying for his bachelors. Through hard work with the VA i have learned to tell when he is not in a good place and have been able to lead him back to the light of day out of that long dark tunnel he would enter! Took 2 years to get his ex to allow him and us to have our grandchild for the summers and that was the biggest thing to help him!! I still play this song over the loudspeakers in my house to remind him HE is NOT alone and has loving family to stand by him!
Marianne, this song is a reminder that we're ALL on the same boat and only buy opening up and letting others know of our suffering can they help and make us feel that we're not alone. This is a very powerful song and it makes me cry every time. Your son was inspired by it to make the first step to ask for the help that you were so desperate to give. So many of us are so willing to give that support to others if only we knew that they desperately need it and all it takes is for us to realise that we are not alone. We are all connected. We were just temporarily separated at birth and we forgot it.
I lost my husband 3 weeks ago. He took his life and it's so difficult to carry on. This song touches me in so many ways. I am hanging on by the minute, the hour,and hopefully in the future by the day. Tonight we were supposed to celebrate New Years Eve together. He let himself go, the hurt was too great. If anyone out there is considering ending their life please know there is always help. You have to be brave and reach out. Because taking your life hurts the living.There are no words. P.S. It's been roughly 3 years since I wrote this above - so so touched by ppl's encouragement, wisdom, compassion, and those who've endured their own losses. Please know I'm doing well now. I'm raising our 3 teenagers with a full heart, empathy, and strength. Recently I have fallen in love with a wonderful man who warmed my heart and lit a fire in my soul. I've gotten to the end of this tunnel and found joy and happiness - the sun always shines after storms, just gotta keep the faith and hang in there. Thanks again everyone. Hugs and love to you all.
i hope you been better at this time i lost my love of my live 4 years a go and i still missing so much and undertand what the feel look like into your live. I still going forward but is hard....i wish the best to you .
As someone who has attempted and as a songwriter, I couldn’t have more respect for R.E.M. I can’t say I’ve ever really been a fan, this is the only song I really know of theirs. But I have that respect for writing profound music that has and continues to touch people across the world. Empathizing with and uplifting. Thank you R.E.M. 🌎❤️
Here I am again listening to this song..... I’ve had enough of this life....😓 I have 2 times to ending my life .... But I have a 37 yr old Son... How would he feel knowing his tough Mother gave up.....🥺
Even though I belong to a conservative church, partial to playing only hymns in the chapel, I have clearly instructed my family to play this at my funeral. We all know the gospel promises, but this secular song is also what I want my family to remember when they are mourning. I have always found it to be incredibly soothing. I love how in this video, Michael is leading the audience/choir as they can't help but join in. Thank you, R.E.M., for this musical gift.
This is an awesome song, I never get tired of it I listen to it at least 2 times a day, he has such a wonderful voice, and really feels his music, and puts it out for anyone who needs it, it means so many different things
@@oliviawutam thank you! I'm so proud of everyone❣We all have battles. We all have hardships and days where we're pleading for the insanity to stop. It comes from inside. The relief. You have to align your spirit up with God. Allow yourself to hear His voice. When we are at our weakest. He is at His strongest. We have no hope? Not true! HE IS OUR HOPE. BE strong in the power of His might. Allow Him to light your path. Have faith. The size of a mustard seed. Just look up and say I'm ready Father. Start thanking him for what you have. If its not much, just think, you have breath. You woke up.Thats Him. You ate something. That's Him. You put your coat on. That's Him. If you lived to see another day...praise Him.
At a time long ago my wife went missing. This song had just been released. We mended our ways and had 40 good years until cancer took her away from me.
This song burns my heart, it's everything I ever wanted to hear, listen to and absorb, with meaning that is about as deep as it gets. If this beautiful song stops one single person committing themselves heeds this work of absolute wonderment, that's good enough for me. I'm just having one of those moments, with love to each of you good people having a listen to this amazing song. Stay safe, and try and work some happiness into your tune.
I was in hospital in 1993 with my 2 year old son,the night before he had heart surgery,crying to this! still cry to it.He is 26 years old now a kind,honest,handsome man!
I went through a very similar experience with our youngest son in 1998. He was born with cranal senosis. It is a condidition where the baby is born with there soft spots in there scull fused. He had all 7 fused. He has had 2 8 plus hour surgerys on his scull. We have to thank God for our beautiful young men. And wonderful surgions and there teams.
Thank you for holding on. You need to know that there are many people that care. We care because we have lost loved ones even to cancer and suicide and other means of death. Thank you for sharing
What a beautiful soul. I am nearly 60 years old and I still can't get through this song without a tear in my eyes. So much emotion flows through my veins with all that I have experienced in my life. I have so much to be grateful for. It's great to be alive
Sometimes when you are going through so much pain brought on by illness, you wonder wether you are alone but most people are caring burdens that are difficult to unload so ,i just hold on and let my faith guide me. Thank you for this beautiful song .
They do. This song is about suicide. It's about seeking the help you need if you're down. Last year I took an overdose and nearly died 3 times and rang my sister who is a nurse who told me off alot and thought I was ok and gave me food and drink to combat the consequences. 36 hours later I deteriorated and had to call for help from 4 teenagers out drinking wine at 2am! WTF! Do teens drink wine now? I went into two comas but survived.
I came into this life almost 69 years ago, fighting, crying, screaming and I intend to go out the same way!!!! You MUST endure the bad times because that makes the GREAT times that much better! We are all human beings, we all have felt pain, disappointment, loss, but all of us have also experienced the warmth of the sun, the beautiful view of a sunrise/sunset, heard the waves rushing in, rushing out, happy laughter, the thrill of a roller coaster, watching a child grow & discover, the excitement of that first love… Over my almost 69 yrs on this earth, looking back, I wouldn’t have changed a thing, good or bad because it all made me the loving, compassionate, person I strive to be EVERY DAY I have left! Every challenge, every adversity just makes me that much stronger to face the next challenge/adversity! You MUST BE STRONG to ride this roller coaster called LIFE! If I live to be 100+, my life will still seem too short! Love each day to its fullest, as it may be your last! When God calls, you have to answer that phone! ENJOY!
I’m in my home quarantined listening to this song. I’m not personally hurting, but I hurt for our country and the world. Everyone hold on for each other. 🙏
I to am lonely quarantined but hopeful for my country and it's people. Thank God for music and the kindness of others here in the mountains of North Carolina
PBGardens And in this country it’s only about bringing Trump down. I pray that people will see the truth and stop being afraid. We are at war right now as I write this and the best war waged is the one in which the victims don’t know they’re in a War to begin with!
This song really pulls at my heart strings. I lost my little brother on January 12, 2021, and this songs makes me feel closer to him because of all the hardships he had been through in his life. He was the bravest, most real, and genuine person I ever met. The ultimate care giver. And after all of it, covid is what finally took him one day short of his 66th birthday. We had a simple ash scattering ceremony over Mobile Bay, and this song was playing. I couldn't ask for a better friend as we were growing up together. I love you Ric. Rest in peace, my little brother...
I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my best friend on August 28, 2021. It is hard to hold on but we must for the ones who love us. I don't want to have others having the horrible pain I feel.
I saw REM live in concert when I was 18. I had fables of the reconstruction. That was 36 years ago. Sometimes on a blue moon (this time literally ), I just have a hankering to hear Michael Stipe's voice yet again. When I was in a college, I only had three posters in my room and REM was one of them. M Stipe and P Buck were cool dudes. This song is about being human;the struggle is real.
You could not have chosen a better song to remember your mam by, my mam died of cancer just over 2 years ago and most Saturdays I listen to this song and it moves me to tears.
Also my mother...said a quite goodbye ON THE 04 TH OF OCT 2007...but she is free at last now, flying all over the world, watching of us...Nov 18th 2019 R.I.P.
This song still hits me to my core and brings tears to my eyes and a knot in my throat. I first heard this song soon after going through the death of my mother. She died by suicide. I SO know life is hard, but there is ALWAYS a reason to push on. I struggle myself with loneliness and depression ,but I know from what I have experienced from being a survivor of suicide , there is always a better day. There truly are people that care and love you. Hang in there and keep pushing forward. Never forget to be greatful for the blessings you have in your life, no how small they may seem.
Jennifer please stay strong when you lose a family member to suicide it is devastating if you feel you are on you own just send a post on here and I will try and get back to you has soon has I can, please don't think you are alone and if you feel depress this is a natural emotion after you have lost someone though suicide I live in the UK not sure were you live so if it is the USA the UK are 5 hours ahead take care please get in touch Viv
Run to God..ask Jesus into your heart!! There is so much darkness in the world today..people are overloaded!!! Most people...YES MOST PEOPLE are struggling with depression and major loneliness..yet,they pretend to have it all together..WE ARE NOT DESIGNED TO HANDLE EVERYTHING..WE NEED HELP!!! I KNOW I NEED A SAVIOR..JESUS..I CANT "DO LIFE" BY MYSELF..I CANT..I KNOW IT IN MY HEART..AND I ACCEPT THAT I NEED HELP..SO,I BRING MY GOOD AND BAD TO JESUS (ITS NOT HARD AT ALL..IN FACT..ITS A BIG BURDEN LIFTER!!) Look at this world!!
Be Strong Mr. Cave missing your wife will never stop, and the pain and longing in your heart will never go away. But the desire to take charge of your life will get stronger, and you will be more motivated to follow through with it. I think what hurts the most remembering the pain she was in and how much you loved her. I will keep you in my prayers.
It’s crazy to read through the comments and realize how many people have leaned on this song when their lives hit rock bottom. Truly reflects the power and inspiration of music. ☮️
I do wish they would reform.. The world needs R. E. M Live... And Michael's brilliant voice... How could you get a better live performance than this by ANY band
I love this song it brings hope to so many with broken hearts. These Broken Hearts can heal I can promise you that. Just don't lose hope. If you are one that has been laying stick around for a long time, it's time to get up and go help somebody in need. This will heal you faster especially if you make a habit of it.
I remember being broken and desperate going through heroin withdrawal back in 1994 and listening to this thinking i want out cant do this no more,i have since lived a sober, clean and productive life through the grace of god and the fellowship of narcotics anonymous. I never want to forget the hell i was in so i never choose to ever go back there.
I think this song says everything because everybody has a bad time in there life and they just need to hold on for awhile and things will improve I love it
Not only is this version incredible but recently on Britain's Got Talent, Father Ray Kelly an Irish priest performed it and it was so inspiring almost like a prayer. As he finished I found myself saying amen". He spoke at the end of the song and said, "you're not alone". You can hear his version on you tube also.
Okay I'm like 58 my dad killed himself when I was . Like 17 okay and then you learn to look on the bright side of things and say okay I don't know why he did that but I'm going to figure it out..okay and then it's really tough for a long time so I have a child cuz I need something to love. Now I got something... And it's the best thing to love and to live for. Thank you 😊 God and Jesus 🙌🙏. And now I'm old. And have a son and a grandbaby to live for and it's awesome. Welcome 2019-2020 let's have a great Christmas. My love to all. Stay alive let's enjoy the journey 💪
@@ernstvanbiljon2374 very sorry for your loss. Music can help ease the pain, so many people connect their sadness to songs because it speaks to their sorrows, No problem in letting that ugly cry out when you need to.
I lost my wife to ovarian cancer 7 years ago, she was young and would help anyone who needed help. They say the good die young. I will never get over it until I see her again in heaven. Felt like ending it all on many occasions just to be with her but I listen to this song and hold on. Thank you REM!
This song is my therapy along with the most loving and supportive comments in the history of the internet. How many people must have come here and had their lives saved or at least been drawn from the depths of despair.
I agree music is therapy.....Brother hang on and never ever give up. We all have a story and sometimes it's not pretty. Many of us are going through life pretending things are ok thinking we're alone but that's not true. There are many others out here who are dealing with a lot of shit like us.
I am sure a lot of people watching that feel down and feel enough is enough 😭 hope listening to the lyrics has given you 🙏 sense to carry on with your life 😊
My life. Sometimes I hurt. At times I wanted to leave life. This life brings pain to us all. We are forged in pain and tempered like steel and then we become strong and walk until we leave to the beautiful heaven because of our Creator and His Son. Beautiful song! Bless all who hurt. You are not alone. ❤️
My love played this when I found out I had cancer...he held me I cried he held me and we slowly danced. I survived...he didn't he died. Thank you for the memory....😔
Heavy...I pssed s.th. not far from this e perience....I was 22. He 33...Roby was my first boyfriend...I send U a very big, warm hug...U are a stringi and beautyfull creature. I feel U! 💔💗 Hey, be loves U so much...
Everyone listening to this song should think of helping one another. Especially during this time. What an amazing song. What an amazing band........thank you REM
To everybody who is hurting in these majorly screwed up times.. hang on.. we got this, we can do this, stay strong! And this too shall pass. Big hugs to you!
We all have times when sadness strikes us, please find something that makes you rise above it ,something small something deep, something called love, hope and pray for a better life. God Bless you.
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT MATE EVERYDAY AND I FIND IT EASIER TO SPEAK TO PEOPLE THROUGH MUSIC ❤️ I CAN'T EVEN GO OUT I DON'T KNOW WHERE I'D BE WITHOUT MUSIC AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO TALK LIKE THIS BUT WHY AM I SURPRISED SO BIG FAT THUMBS UP FOR MUSIC ❤️🦋🌈
My husband at 69 of bone cancer. Aftet40 yeat of living together we got legally married.A week later he passed away. I hope this song helps some else, the way it got me through this pain. God bless REM for this useful song!
This beautiful, magnificent & heavenly song, voice, words and music I dedicate to my son Ben with Love. Ben was going through a rough time almost 2 years after the death of his best friend and brother Bob. Thank you REM for helping him through this rough time. I sent him this great video which turned him around. Will never forget what you guys have done for us!!! Love ❤️ from Canada...❤️💙🤠✌️😎🤩🇨🇦😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
My son lost his partner of 17 years and the mother to my only grandson in July. This song is definitely her song. I don't think I will ever grow tired of hearing it. So much death in our family over the past couple of years.
randy hetrick so sorry ,it is sad that i am first here to say but past is past some will say, your father cant be replaced we all kow that but be strong he will be happy if he can see you smile belive me
Sometime we can be faced with despairing, terrifying, dangerous, unpleasant situations. sometimes things go out of control. " sometimes everything is wrong". pain can feel overwhelming. sometimes it's too dark to see any hope on the horizon, but it will come. the pain will subsided, and you will be stronger than the person you were before the pain. for anyone who feels alone or desperate or at the end of their rope... keep hanging on, never give up. Keep your spirit and soul high. everything will be okay. I love you.
Hope .. where does it come from ? can it be bought at the supermarket , Hope where does it come from .. and yet we all have it ? see Kathys song cover on youtube with more songs to come 2017 .. I hope ?
One day we all would have to depart from this world. Michael Stripe and R E M have conveyed their side to Express themselves in the most beautiful and AUTHENTIC way. Absolutely Amazing and AWESOME. ❤😊🤗🙌👍👌 Keep up the pressure and continue to get your message across.❤😊
That sounds like a tough period of your life. I guess about to be followed by another tough period. But you're there, listening to REM, and I'm here listening to REM. There's one good thing.
I am so sorry for your loss ,I just loss my son I know how hurt you are feeling, I wish I had some words of comfort for you, I will keep you and your wife in my prayers tonight,
I was standing there at Glasto watching this after going through a year of a shitty divorce, tears running down my face singing on top of my voice. I left that field a better stronger man put it all behind me and moved on with my life. THANK YOU REM X
+tommy roberts I have been there. Divorce and much more. This song is one thing I hold onto before I let the inclination to end my life take control. And, I've been there and tried that.

I think this song saved my life, when my husband died I completely gave up.. it's been almost 16 years since cancer took his life. Then my beautiful baby granddaughter died, and then my brother, and my mom died in December 23, now my big brother is dying again from cancer 😢 I come here and play this song over and over again, because it reminds me to just hang on. God Bless everyone out there, somehow we will be okay
🙏 for you to find peace. May your loving memories of them all help you heal.
Que vous bénisse ❤ tant de malheur faut être fort 🙏🙏🥰✝️🇫🇷
God Bless you and your loved ones. It will be okay and someday you will get to hug them again in the afterlife, if that's where we all go. Hang On!
Blessed be to you and know the soul is eternal
@@nancybourbeau7492 It's rough out there. There are many reasons to go on. Only you can decide the path..
To the 71 year old at home alone listening to this incredible song . You are not alone!! God bless !!!! Beautiful song such passion poured into this !!
love to u
❤ so real
I feel you Sir..I'm been alone for 12+ years
Thank You…
That would be me😢
I am 68, and it's been 4 months since my wife passed from cancer, and it has left me lost. I can't seem to get my bearing. At my age, I don't have much of anything to offer, so when someone says, hold on, don't give up, why would that apply to me? I eat every other day, I'm back to working 5days a week, I have no life, and deth for me is one step away! So for me, this song acknowledges that loss is real, and some are crushed by the weight of its pain. I love the song!
Oh Arthur, you don't have to get your bearings yet, it's only been 4 months since you lost your wife.. you have alot to offer but the time is not right for moving on yet for you, everyone has their own pace.. sadness is a terrible thing and I understand absolutely about not wanting to be here any longer, different circumstances but pain is pain..
I think it's harder as we get older, I'm 64 and when I feel like letting go.......
I listen to this sometimes 6, 7, 8 times in a row, loud, I cry, I get angry, I get terribly sad but I keep playing it until it clicks........Hold On
💗
I’m sorry for your loss friend. There is still plenty to offer and experience for you.
So Sorry to hear about your loss. No words can ever bring comfort to your broken heart. But, Because You loved your wife so sincerely, it shows that you Love passionately. That means you have LOVE in your heart that you can give to someone who is going through the same feelings like yours about their loss of a loved one. Look for that someone and share your Beautiful Love. Talk to a friend when you hurt. Sometimes it helps. Prayer can also be helpful. May Jehovah God comfort you. 🤟
I lost my daughter age 30 with leukaemia 17 years ago x in my life now x but music 🎵 I love music on life x
Držím ti palce🙋
20 years later, June 2023, this remains a classic ❤and deservedly so. When anyone feels on the edge, ready to give up, this song will always remind us that "Everybody Hurts" -- thanks to REM and Michael's unforgettable performance ❤😢 ❤
Traduzione
The most beautifull incredible,sad song ever written.A magnificenty talented man.
Para mi sin palabras , la puedo escuchar todos los dis .
@@nibiadominguez1630passe o tempo que for...continuo ouvindo e me emociono ao ver tantas dores ultimamente,entre os inocentes.
the words "hold on" literally saved my life. I was seriously considering ending it, and this song came on the radio. I agreed to hold on and trust that my life and relationship with my two daughters would somehow improve. And with work and love it did.
I've never understood people who say that this song is depressing. To me, this is a song that recognises you are sad, upset or anxious, puts a comforting arm around you, empathises with you and takes you to a less distressing place.
Well said⭐️🏆⭐️➰🌹
💚🤗💚
Exactly
Yes! I used to be afraid to listen to this song but once I did I felt it
Well said thank you
I have watched this dozens of times. Today. it's my turn. My Dad, Michael William Thomas Mitchell, died this week aged 87. He was a working class dad, and a great dad. Family was all he had, all he wanted, and all he cared about. RIP Dad.
So sorry for your loss 😢🙏
Respect
R.I.P, having a father that wanted to be there is so beautiful, God bless him, and make him proud
I'm so sorry for your loss! I'm here because my poor momma is in the hospital dying of stage 4 lung cancer! She has been , as of today only days to live , and I don't mean to sound rude , but today I'm grateful for her to be finally be ready , and emotionally and mentally she is more then ready to be free of her old and aching earthly body! We've talked about the end on many , many occasions as I have been her sole caretaker for the last 3 and 1/2 years and belive me when I say I would do it all over again even though it was the single most difficult thing I've ever signed up for in my entire life! The time I spent looking after her and the memories I alone will have , man you can't buy that kind of time!! Helping her to mentally and emotionally prepare for her final journey was a once in a lifetime trip, I just hope and pray someone is there for me when its my time to transition!! The thing that is bothering me the most right now is that she can't have 1 visitor to see her and she really has got to do this all alone because of covid restrictions!! If I had known I wouldn't have allowed them to admit her , I would have and should have just brought her home so I could hold her as she takes her last breath as she held me when I breathed my 1st breath!! Again I'm sorry for your loss!! Much love , kindness and compassion to you and yours at this difficult moment!
God bless you. My young son recently died and his Dad took his own life. So much pain , so much sorrow. Today is the anniversary of my Dad's passing too. June is a month that I just can't cope with. R.E.M. Give me hope. Xx

You ain't lying. Every generation faces different hurdles. And the same. We gotta remember that. It's thru struggle also that we learn hard truths in life that can't be taught. Gotta experience them.

Never give up.
Never give in.
Youre never alone.

@@rickhimmelheber1872 Was it really bad?
I have severe depression, anxiety, bipolar depression. This song is very important.

Still one of the most beautiful songs that was ever put out‼️ thanks for singing the greatest song REM‼️🫂
For reasons I won't elaborate on, your comment is just so very true, xx
✨️🌹✨️When my husband died 22years ago.He was only 52yrs old.This song played on the radio and i googled it and put it on my phone.When im feeling sad I listen to it over and over.......It helps to cry and gets rid of all the aches.✨️🌹✨️
My husband died in my arms on 1st May, he was 42 the pain is unbearable, no-one will replace him I feel what ur feeling xx listening to our songs makes me feel closer to him x sending you love

Stay with us friend. We have been there and we want you with us. It takes more guts to stay.
I wish you the best my brother, hang in there! Godbless!
Keep reaching out my friend. No one knows your hurting until you tell us. Get help we all understand and care👊🏻👊🏻🙏🏻
My daughter told me about this 🎶 song, she said it reminds her of her brother. I listened, & agreed. Her brother, my son, was 18 years old when he died. 💔. We miss you, kid! Gone to Heaven; in the arms of Almighty God! 🙏🏼
Love and blessings to you and your family. Sorry for your loss.
Everybody does hurt, sadly some can’t deal with the hurt and need to go to a more peaceful place. Your boy is now in that place.
Same here
Same. My 31 year old daughter died just over a year ago. This song helps my pain. I miss her too.
R.I.P to your Son in our Heavenly Father arms♥️
Michael Stripe gave this song “Everything he’s got to give “. He sung it with emotion and beauty!!💜
Kind of Sinead O'Connor style
This man must be a good soul to write such a compassionate song.
I think I had enough , but my journey is not over so I'll put my shield and continue my walk in life, Today I'm doing good and greatfull for the people who do care. Thank. You 🌍❤️😘🥳😜

We need songs like this to touch our hearts and keep in touch with our reallity.
So true we act like nothing hurts us
Hello how u feeling
I have fought for the past 7 years for my son's life. He is a good man who happened to marry a very abusive wife. He was in the Army and instead of listening to him they put him on drugs~! We got the dreaded call one night from the MPs that he had overdosed. He was in Oklahoma at the time and we are in NYC. My husband flew out and bought him home. We spent many months fighting for him and visiting him in psych wards. THIS song did the trick and finally got him to open up about what was going on his marriage!! He is now divorced. He is still living with us. I can proudly say his last attempt was 3 years ago. He graduated nursing school this year and is now studying for his bachelors. Through hard work with the VA i have learned to tell when he is not in a good place and have been able to lead him back to the light of day out of that long dark tunnel he would enter! Took 2 years to get his ex to allow him and us to have our grandchild for the summers and that was the biggest thing to help him!! I still play this song over the loudspeakers in my house to remind him HE is NOT alone and has loving family to stand by him!
Marianne, this song is a reminder that we're ALL on the same boat and only buy opening up and letting others know of our suffering can they help and make us feel that we're not alone. This is a very powerful song and it makes me cry every time. Your son was inspired by it to make the first step to ask for the help that you were so desperate to give. So many of us are so willing to give that support to others if only we knew that they desperately need it and all it takes is for us to realise that we are not alone. We are all connected. We were just temporarily separated at birth and we forgot it.
I wish your son all the luck in the world and tell him there are people out there thinking about him
@@duarteluder Thank you so much for your words of wisdom
Bernard Leeson the truth does not hurt
I only wish the people can think what if it was my son or daughter lets be kind to one another
I lost my husband 3 weeks ago. He took his life and it's so difficult to carry on. This song touches me in so many ways. I am hanging on by the minute, the hour,and hopefully in the future by the day. Tonight we were supposed to celebrate New Years Eve together. He let himself go, the hurt was too great. If anyone out there is considering ending their life please know there is always help. You have to be brave and reach out. Because taking your life hurts the living.There are no words.
P.S. It's been roughly 3 years since I wrote this above - so so touched by ppl's encouragement, wisdom, compassion, and those who've endured their own losses. Please know I'm doing well now. I'm raising our 3 teenagers with a full heart, empathy, and strength. Recently I have fallen in love with a wonderful man who warmed my heart and lit a fire in my soul. I've gotten to the end of this tunnel and found joy and happiness - the sun always shines after storms, just gotta keep the faith and hang in there. Thanks again everyone. Hugs and love to you all.
Rebecca McLean so sorry for your loss . Suicide only makes sense to the one committing it.
So sad for you, I hope you find the strength.
Take care of You!!! Wish You the best!!
i hope you been better at this time i lost my love of my live 4 years a go and i still missing so much and undertand what the feel look like into your live. I still going forward but is hard....i wish the best to you .
Rebecca McLean be brave
As someone who has attempted and as a songwriter, I couldn’t have more respect for R.E.M. I can’t say I’ve ever really been a fan, this is the only song I really know of theirs. But I have that respect for writing profound music that has and continues to touch people across the world. Empathizing with and uplifting. Thank you R.E.M. 🌎❤️
Here I am
again listening to this song.....
I’ve had enough of this life....😓
I have 2 times to ending my life ....
But I have a 37 yr old Son...
How would he feel knowing his tough Mother gave up.....🥺
Even though I belong to a conservative church, partial to playing only hymns in the chapel, I have clearly instructed my family to play this at my funeral. We all know the gospel promises, but this secular song is also what I want my family to remember when they are mourning. I have always found it to be incredibly soothing. I love how in this video, Michael is leading the audience/choir as they can't help but join in. Thank you, R.E.M., for this musical gift.
That's smart of you to inform them on ground. Thank you REM for this wonderful song.
Thank you thank you thank you for sharing. It touches me too.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻
Amen to that
This is an awesome song, I never get tired of it I listen to it at least 2 times a day, he has such a wonderful voice, and really feels his music, and puts it out for anyone who needs it, it means so many different things
I sent this to a loved one dying of cancer. She had never heard of REM. Hold on, hold on 💗💗 She loved it. The music heals our spirit
It's a beautiful song. I'm sure many people have related to it. Another version just as good is on American idol. Hes a Parrish priest!!
😘 😘 😘 😘 😘 😘
I had cancer too.. I wish the best for your friend!!! 🥰
@@rubymilke144 thank you I have seen/heard too he was very good
@@mariajoseperalespuente6462 I'll join you sending the good wishes
@@oliviawutam thank you! I'm so proud of everyone❣We all have battles. We all have hardships and days where we're pleading for the insanity to stop.
It comes from inside. The relief. You have to align your spirit up with God. Allow yourself to hear His voice. When we are at our weakest. He is at His strongest. We have no hope? Not true! HE IS OUR HOPE. BE strong in the power of His might. Allow Him to light your path. Have faith. The size of a mustard seed.
Just look up and say I'm ready Father. Start thanking him for what you have. If its not much, just think, you have breath. You woke up.Thats Him. You ate something. That's Him. You put your coat on. That's Him.
If you lived to see another day...praise Him.
At a time long ago my wife went missing. This song had just been released. We mended our ways and had 40 good years until cancer took her away from me.
This song burns my heart, it's everything I ever wanted to hear, listen to and absorb, with meaning that is about as deep as it gets. If this beautiful song stops one single person committing themselves heeds this work of absolute wonderment, that's good enough for me. I'm just having one of those moments, with love to each of you good people having a listen to this amazing song. Stay safe, and try and work some happiness into your tune.
it is amazing 😂
❤
Es lo más grande y maravilloso esta canción y nos representa a todos los románticos

Thank you for holding on. You need to know that there are many people that care. We care because we have lost loved ones even to cancer and suicide and other means of death. Thank you for sharing
Peace to you.
This gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.. Michael puts so much emotion into it
Yeah, he sings from the soul.
He sure does. !!!
What a beautiful soul. I am nearly 60 years old and I still can't get through this song without a tear in my eyes. So much emotion flows through my veins with all that I have experienced in my life. I have so much to be grateful for. It's great to be alive
Hanging on by my fingernails, my kids need me, wish I was more, thank you for this song
We just need to be ' good enough ' - I bet YOU are. x
You can be more but only if you want to be. I bet you are anyway
You can do it... know that many others are out there for you
Thank you very much
I try every day, thank you for your kind comments
I've been in hospital over 4 months fighting cancer . The amount off times I've listened to this song
Damn bro!! Hang in there and fight that fucking cancer!!!!!
Paul Gaile everything's gonna be alright :)
Paul Gaile stay strong fella 💪 it’s going to be ok
Paul hang in there bud,were friends🤝 that just haven't met yet,positive vibes stay strong pal💪🙏
keep pounding !!!
For this man to sing a song that every human being could relate to that's magic!
Sometimes when you are going through so much pain brought on by illness, you wonder wether you are alone but most people are caring burdens that are difficult to unload so ,i just hold on and let my faith guide me. Thank you for this beautiful song .
the truth is that everybody hurts. this is why it's such a brilliant song.
th-cam.com/video/Y9uCHKtfgcs/w-d-xo.html
They do. This song is about suicide. It's about seeking the help you need if you're down. Last year I took an overdose and nearly died 3 times and rang my sister who is a nurse who told me off alot and thought I was ok and gave me food and drink to combat the consequences. 36 hours later I deteriorated and had to call for help from 4 teenagers out drinking wine at 2am! WTF! Do teens drink wine now?
I went into two comas but survived.
verybody hurts , take comfort in your friends
@@davewhitby9176 I hope that you will seek the help that you need...Best of luck! Hold On!!
Hang in there its worth it for you
I came into this life almost 69 years ago, fighting, crying, screaming and I intend to go out the same way!!!! You MUST endure the bad times because that makes the GREAT times that much better! We are all human beings, we all have felt pain, disappointment, loss, but all of us have also experienced the warmth of the sun, the beautiful view of a sunrise/sunset, heard the waves rushing in, rushing out, happy laughter, the thrill of a roller coaster, watching a child grow & discover, the excitement of that first love…
Over my almost 69 yrs on this earth, looking back, I wouldn’t have changed a thing, good or bad because it all made me the loving, compassionate, person I strive to be EVERY DAY I have left! Every challenge, every adversity just makes me that much stronger to face the next challenge/adversity! You MUST BE STRONG to ride this roller coaster called LIFE! If I live to be 100+, my life will still seem too short! Love each day to its fullest, as it may be your last! When God calls, you have to answer that phone! ENJOY!
do not go quietly
Love every single wonderful and beautiful word you said here!! Thank you Barbara! You said exactly what I wanted to. God bless you!!
Absolutely beautiful, thank you Barbara Love to you always and forever

This song never gets old 🥲
"Take comfort in your friends" and it really only takes one. What an inspirational song that has saved so many people.
I’m in my home quarantined listening to this song. I’m not personally hurting, but I hurt for our country and the world. Everyone hold on for each other. 🙏
I to am lonely quarantined but hopeful for my country and it's people. Thank God for music and the kindness of others here in the mountains of North Carolina
Beautiful song
PBGardens And in this country it’s only about bringing Trump down. I pray that people will see the truth and stop being afraid. We are at war right now as I write this and the best war waged is the one in which the victims don’t know they’re in a War to begin with!

This song really pulls at my heart strings. I lost my little brother on January 12, 2021, and this songs makes me feel closer to him because of all the hardships he had been through in his life. He was the bravest, most real, and genuine person I ever met. The ultimate care giver. And after all of it, covid is what finally took him one day short of his 66th birthday. We had a simple ash scattering ceremony over Mobile Bay, and this song was playing. I couldn't ask for a better friend as we were growing up together. I love you Ric. Rest in peace, my little brother...
I lost my boy Corey last July. He was 3 weeks shy of his 34thHis mental health could not sustain his life, but this song brings me comfort.
I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my best friend on August 28, 2021. It is hard to hold on but we must for the ones who love us. I don't want to have others having the horrible pain I feel.
I saw REM live in concert when I was 18. I had fables of the reconstruction. That was 36 years ago. Sometimes on a blue moon (this time literally ), I just have a hankering to hear Michael Stipe's voice yet again. When I was in a college, I only had three posters in my room and REM was one of them. M Stipe and P Buck were cool dudes. This song is about being human;the struggle is real.
Best song to listen to when your depressed.
That's what I do and it leads to to dark depression
@@mewho6305 don't listen to it idiot
makes me depressed!lol
Yep
Big smiles. Keeps me from the edge.
My mom had lung cancer ♋️. I took this cd 📀 in her room and we danced. We both cried. Last dance with my mom.
You could not have chosen a better song to remember your mam by, my mam died of cancer just over 2 years ago and most Saturdays I listen to this song and it moves me to tears.
Sad and beautiful
I feel so sorry for your mom ! How are you now ? i would like to speak with you: s-lana888@yandex.ru
Also my mother...said a quite goodbye ON THE 04 TH OF OCT 2007...but she is free at last now, flying all over the world, watching of us...Nov 18th 2019 R.I.P.
I think that was beautiful
This hauntingly beautiful song has served to remind me that none of us need to go through life’s crap alone.
So very true Mark. Everybody needs someone.
Amazing comment
No No No, your'e not alone
Well said, that man.
No one is an island .
What a performance. Absolutely love this
My husband died May of 23. This song helps get the grief out. Rem is my go to
Hes not just singing it...he's delivering it to all the souls that need to hear it
Exactly.
Wow. Your totally right. Never thought of it in that broad of a sense. Beautiful

This song still hits me to my core and brings tears to my eyes and a knot in my throat. I first heard this song soon after going through the death of my mother. She died by suicide. I SO know life is hard, but there is ALWAYS a reason to push on. I struggle myself with loneliness and depression ,but I know from what I have experienced from being a survivor of suicide , there is always a better day. There truly are people that care and love you. Hang in there and keep pushing forward. Never forget to be greatful for the blessings you have in your life, no how small they may seem.
Jennifer please stay strong when you lose a family member to suicide it is devastating if you feel you are on you own just send a post on here and I will try and get back to you has soon has I can, please don't think you are alone and if you feel depress this is a natural emotion after you have lost someone though suicide I live in the UK not sure were you live so if it is the USA the UK are 5 hours ahead take care please get in touch Viv
Viv Green, thank you so much for your comment. I am ok and doing well.
@@BagenSharon I am glad you are doing well but don't forget I am hear if you need to talk
I feel for you. Had a close family member attempt but luckily did not succeed. My thoughts are with you.
Run to God..ask Jesus into your heart!! There is so much darkness in the world today..people are overloaded!!! Most people...YES MOST PEOPLE are struggling with depression and major loneliness..yet,they pretend to have it all together..WE ARE NOT DESIGNED TO HANDLE EVERYTHING..WE NEED HELP!!! I KNOW I NEED A SAVIOR..JESUS..I CANT "DO LIFE" BY MYSELF..I CANT..I KNOW IT IN MY HEART..AND I ACCEPT THAT I NEED HELP..SO,I BRING MY GOOD AND BAD TO JESUS (ITS NOT HARD AT ALL..IN FACT..ITS A BIG BURDEN LIFTER!!) Look at this world!!
This guy may be an angel. Wonderful song that touches my weary soul
My wife of 28 years passed away on 07/30/2024. God Bless Her! Miss her!
I play this song most nights i lost my wife to cancer 4 years ago and i am still crying,Thank you R,E,M.
You are not alone Brother....I've played this song many a night myself......hold on :)
Thanks John, nice to know that i am not alone, Take care Tom
Thank you for the kind thoughts Joe. It helps take care, Tom
Be Strong Mr. Cave missing your wife will never stop, and the pain and longing in your heart will never go away. But the desire to take charge of your life will get stronger, and you will be more motivated to follow through with it. I think what hurts the most remembering the pain she was in and how much you loved her. I will keep you in my prayers.
Thank you Alma you are so kind x Tom
It’s crazy to read through the comments and realize how many people have leaned on this song when their lives hit rock bottom. Truly reflects the power and inspiration of music. ☮️
Doug, thats because music IS life...
"Truly reflects the power and inspiration of music"...created by real people feeling and expressing their power of life.
Yep!! I like R.E.M. , but 2003 is what set this off, power of love! 🤗
Doug Layton love this song!
Doug Layton 💯
I do wish they would reform.. The world needs R. E. M Live... And Michael's brilliant voice... How could you get a better live performance than this by ANY band
I love this song it brings hope to so many with broken hearts. These Broken Hearts can heal I can promise you that. Just don't lose hope. If you are one that has been laying stick around for a long time, it's time to get up and go help somebody in need. This will heal you faster especially if you make a habit of it.
I remember being broken and desperate going through heroin withdrawal back in 1994 and listening to this thinking i want out cant do this no more,i have since lived a sober, clean and productive life through the grace of god and the fellowship of narcotics anonymous. I never want to forget the hell i was in so i never choose to ever go back there.
kevphillips02 sad
What is sad about it?
I gave up drinking for five years. my new wife introduced me to a glass every night with my meal, now I am a functioning alcoholic
I too went through hurt and pain but just went on taking a day ar a time. Losing loved ones hurts.
kevphillips02 weakness took you there....strength bought you back.
Only the other day I said to a Belgian lady I know, "I wonder how many lives has this song saved". It's truly, one of the most moving songs ever.
So true. “Bridge Over Troubled Waters” has the same power.
Eternamente ✌🏾♥️
I think this song says everything because everybody has a bad time in there life and they just need to hold on for awhile and things will improve I love it
Not only is this version incredible but recently on Britain's Got Talent, Father Ray Kelly an Irish priest performed it and it was so inspiring almost like a prayer. As he finished I found myself saying amen". He spoke at the end of the song and said, "you're not alone". You can hear his version on you tube also.
This song was played at my mom's funeral she loved this and for years we promised we would play it. I miss and love you mom
I lost my mom this year too. Struggling
Same in September for me. Chin up and be proud of what you've become, due to them . Also grieve in your own way, although music can be a healer xxx
Feliz navidad
Okay I'm like 58 my dad killed himself when I was . Like 17

This song kept me alive through three losses in 1993. Still holding on, Michael.
This song kept me alive through three losses in 2018/19. Still holding on. OK, to be honest, not only this song. But it's part of my strategy.
@@peterkornherr4970 Good! It takes guts to hold on in the face of tragedy.
@@peterkornherr4970 I lost a friend 2 days ago he shot himself, man it is hard.
@@ernstvanbiljon2374 very sorry for your loss. Music can help ease the pain, so many people connect their sadness to songs because it speaks to their sorrows, No problem in letting that ugly cry out when you need to.
Keep holding on it will be worth it my friend I promise
I play this EVERY SINGLE DAY. My favourite all time .song. Im 80 this year.
I Am A Volunteer Firefighter In A Small Town And County. We See And Have To Deal With Death. This Song Helps Dealing With Others Loss.
I lost my wife to ovarian cancer 7 years ago, she was young and would help anyone who needed help. They say the good die young. I will never get over it until I see her again in heaven. Felt like ending it all on many occasions just to be with her but I listen to this song and hold on. Thank you REM!
You are so strong
Good good sister i do the same thing to
loose the thoughts of ending it to be with.Remember..though shall not kill,and that is in stone.
sorry for you lost!! Be strong!!!
HUNG ON STEVE, U ARE NOT ALONE :))))
This song is my therapy along with the most loving and supportive comments in the history of the internet. How many people must have come here and had their lives saved or at least been drawn from the depths of despair.
I agree music is therapy.....Brother hang on and never ever give up. We all have a story and sometimes it's not pretty. Many of us are going through life pretending things are ok thinking we're alone but that's not true. There are many others out here who are dealing with a lot of shit like us.
Your comment is very touching. Take care of yourself Gavin.
Life is difficult no matter where you are...... good luck with your journey!!!!! Please chat if you need to...R u ok?
🙏💙
👼
I am sure a lot of people watching that feel down and feel enough is enough 😭 hope listening to the lyrics has given you 🙏 sense to carry on with your life 😊
My life. Sometimes I hurt. At times I wanted to leave life. This life brings pain to us all. We are forged in pain and tempered like steel and then we become strong and walk until we leave to the beautiful heaven because of our Creator and His Son. Beautiful song! Bless all who hurt. You are not alone. ❤️
Reading the comments to this song is heartwrenching and uplifting. REM should be forever proud of this song.
Absolutely. I thought the same
Fantastic and life saving. Amazingly relevant. ‘Hold on’ Things get better, if we stay around long enough. Love to you all xxxxxx
My love played this when I found out I had cancer...he held me I cried he held me and we slowly danced. I survived...he didn't he died. Thank you for the memory....😔
You are so blessed to have that memory. I know what you are going thru. Sounds like a great man
cant understand myself playing this song over and over again while i scroll down the comments and sometimes answering some.
God bless you Barb I lost my sweetheart of 15years so unexpectedly and this song tears me up

My son lost his partner of 17 years and the mother to my only grandson in July. This song is definitely her song. I don't think I will ever grow tired of hearing it. So much death in our family over the past couple of years.

Sometime we can be faced with despairing, terrifying, dangerous, unpleasant situations. sometimes things go out of control. " sometimes everything is wrong". pain can feel overwhelming. sometimes it's too dark to see any hope on the horizon, but it will come. the pain will subsided, and you will be stronger than the person you were before the pain. for anyone who feels alone or desperate or at the end of their rope... keep hanging on, never give up. Keep your spirit and soul high. everything will be okay. I love you.
J O H N R Y A N Thanks...I needed that...and thank you R.E.M. for this song...💖 holding!
Hope .. where does it come from ? can it be bought at the supermarket , Hope where does it come from .. and yet we all have it ? see Kathys song cover on youtube with more songs to come 2017 .. I hope ?

I don't know if I will ever be the old me but thanks for the encouragement. Needed it today. What a song!

What a great song, very good vibrations, coming in from the heart! Thank you for getting it!
One day we all would have to depart from this world. Michael Stripe and R E M have conveyed their side to Express themselves in the most beautiful and AUTHENTIC way. Absolutely Amazing and AWESOME. ❤😊🤗🙌👍👌 Keep up the pressure and continue to get your message across.❤😊
After looking after my wife for 15 years with vascular dementia this song for me was very appropriate,Jeanette passed 4 weeks ago age 66
That sounds like a tough period of your life. I guess about to be followed by another tough period. But you're there, listening to REM, and I'm here listening to REM. There's one good thing.
I am so sorry for your loss ,I just loss my son I know how hurt you are feeling, I wish I had some words of comfort for you, I will keep you and your wife in my prayers tonight,
@@ChrisBrown-999 qqqqq
Sounds like she was fortunate in
having you ....
So very very sorry for your loss. Hold on love. 😔😊
I was standing there at Glasto watching this after going through a year of a shitty divorce, tears running down my face singing on top of my voice. I left that field a better stronger man put it all behind me and moved on with my life.
THANK YOU REM X
I was there too, still my favourite live song. Can't believe it was 12 years ago
@tommy roberts good for you bro.....
+tommy roberts I have been there. Divorce and much more. This song is one thing I hold onto before I let the inclination to end my life take control. And, I've been there and tried that.
I have so memory's of this song played at my brothers funeral 17 years ago always reminds of him Declan I love you never forgotten
tommy roberts hope life is treating you well!
I lost a wonderful friend. We both loved this this song. She just couldn't cope, and left us. I'm sorry I failed you you😢
Sorry that you lost her. But you didn't fail her. You are still here for her. ❤
