    When my daughter was battling cancer this song made her so happy . Stipe, Buck, Mills and Kate from the B52's. My daughter has been gone for 9 years now. Everytime I hear SHP I get tears, She's moved on, but her favorite songs are still playing.

      +Joel Heaton Everything happens for a reason, something good will come out of it even if its hard to believe. Our egos find difficult to addapt to the ways of the universe but in the big picture of things everything has meaning. Im sorry for your loss I cannot even imagine how difficult it must be to lose a child, I hope your experience helps other people and dont forget what she would have wanted you to do, keep going, try to be as happy as you can and feel always the love, help others and let others help you cause we are one big family, the consciousness of your daughter cant ever die, the body is just our tool to navigate this world, we are all the same with different roles.

      It's funny because this video is almost 30 years old and it' still ironic. Anyone in America who is shiny and happy hasn't been paying attention. We have not attained equality; black people are still being killed by police over and beyond white people, trans folk heroes are denied and rejected from Military service and we have a racist as President.

      Heck yes. More punk heavy for B-52's and R.E.M. was a college heavy thinking person's band, absolutely RELEVANT today. Start with R.E.M into the night and if your lucky when early morning comes-B-52's till you see the Sunrise. Generally a common best Sunday morning you could ever experience! Too bad the kids now a days will never know that feeling. Sorry Millenials. There was once a time before tinder when you could wake after an adventurous and beautiful meeting with another human being, and you knew it was just you and them and a radio playing in the background. Not some Tinder created hook up, that has you addicted to the next swipe-GROSS.

      But they did it a little too well. It's not what they want people to know their work from.

      I think it's an artist's folly. They were characterized by making more serious, introspective, deep songs, but then they certainly think that a more "feel good" song de-characterizes their work. Idiocy to think like that... This is being too narrow-minded! I don't see any problem with a "serious" band (which I like) doing something more upbeat sometimes! I see this as something humble and open-minded! Kate Pierson's participation made this song very B52's style... and I don't think it would have been so successful without her!

      Christ almighty, shut up. As someone who went to high school in the '90s I'm so tired of people talking like there was supposedly some period of time where everything was "good" just because it isn't now. If you were a child in the '90s, then your life was better during that time not because it was the '90s but because you were a child; rest assured there's plenty of awful shit at any era, it didn't coincidentally get worse during your own coming of age.

    • @l3oozehound

      Rainy Jane Wow, that escalated quickly. Why you getting so pissed at a time where music reminds me of a particular time?
      Hell yeah it reminds me of good times, and I loved them so why not look back now and then and smile??
      It's like you getting married and getting told you can't, years later, look upon that as a bad, or good thing, depending if you're a pain in the ass and he, or she. divorces you and leaves you up shit-creek without a boat, never mind a paddle.
      Call me crazy but reminding yourself of a cool time period you lived through is better than sitting thinking about bad shit all the time, as opposed to the before mentioned.
      It's obviously when i was a kid and care-free, but other music also reminds me of when I was in my 20s and when my kid was born etc...is that so fucking bad to reminisce about occasionally?
      I don't fucking obsess about it so you getting your knickers in a fucked-up knot over something that brings a dude back a few memories for nothing, man....but it's your ride, it's your trip, think as you please but don't assume others should all feel the same.

      +Rainy Jane I was a child in '90. But this song is a tale of successful people. Thus "Shinig happy people". Was really a period of great big hill of hope. The economic of the world was growing. Only few unemployed workers was in west area. And the big wall of the comunism in Germany was broken down. And then for this reasons there was new hope, (not realistic), for a amazing future about a forever, (never ending), climb to the progress. Excuse my poor english. Sorry.

    Peter Buck is the most underrated guitar player! He can play any string instrument and he’s a hell of a nice guy! Met him in the 90’s on Kauai. It was dumping rain one night and I stopped off to the bar for a drink after work. I was the only one there except for a guy sitting on the corner barstool. It was Peter Buck. We got to talking and after a while he asked me if I knew who he was, I said yes, your Peter Buck from REM. We had some drinks and just talked for an hour or so. He asked if I could give him a ride home. I said sure, but all I have is my motorcycle and it’s pouring rain. He said he didn’t care. His house was about 7-8 miles down the hwy at Anini beach. We were soaked when we got to his house on the beach. I was just gonna drop him off and go home. He invited me in for more drinks, so of course I went. His wife Stephanie met us at the door, gave us each a dry robe and took our wet clothes and put em in the dryer. We sat and had Jack and Cokes until probably 3-4am just talking about music and life. He put on their new CD before it was even released to the public and asked what I thought. It was super cool. Before I left we exchanged phone numbers and he promised to call next time they were on Kauai. I still have his number in my little black organizer in storage. The following night they came into the restaurant I cooked at for dinner with friends. The wait staff were blown away when Peter Buck asked for me by name. I went out and said hello. Sent them some appetizers on me. I moved back to the mainland a few months later so I never got to hang out with him again. But that night will live in my memory forever! The night I got to spend with a great musician and friend Peter Buck!

So w my eyes shut, I listened. My insight is that this was written and produced in the early 90s. That's when anti depressants had just become the new rage. Take a pill and you don't have to feel sad anymore, you can just be in la la land happiness and not let life get you down. We can all be shiny, happy people holding hands.

      Very sweet! Don’t think that’s how REM intended it, but they couldn’t help writing pretty, fun songs.

    My dad died last year, "Out Of Time" was his favorite album. I remember our summers in Sicily where we used to listen to that album every day in our trips in the car. Actually a song that's supposed to make me happy, makes me burst in tears. I miss u dad

      Your father will always live on in the way he changed you and how you go through live and treat others. There is an immortality in that.
