Truly one of the most powerful songs ever written. It is both timeless and timely.

Such a beautiful and meaningful song. I can only imagine how many lives it's saved over the years. Thank you for your heartfelt reaction, well done as always.

This song always reminds me... you can't know real happiness without also knowing real hurt. It's that space in between that makes that makes all the difference.

Besides the gentle beauty of the song, it still always gets me when every single person in every car gets out and begins to walk together. It’s like everyone was suddenly united.

Michael Stipe had a way of breaking down humanity into pieces we can all understand. Race, religion, culture be dammed, we are all human beings

The compassion of REM.

*Hold on everybody....you're not alone* ♥

I love that step down from G to E... "...well hang on," G, F, E "Cos everybody hurts..." It's that 6/8 time, again - a lovely song to fingerpick on guitar. I think Stipe said that it's about surviving high school... As some Russian bloke said "only the soulless have no need for melancholy".

An absolutely beautiful song with wonderful sentiments that tell us all that in times of doubt & severe stress to remember we’re not alone.Your reactions are, as always, beautiful & heartfelt❤️

this song is a life saver

I lost my Dad when the album came out. It's still painful to hear. I played it for my daughter and I told her how significant it is to me. She's cool. Beautiful song for sure.

A song of hope. A reminder that, no matter how bad things get in our lives, there is always someone there for us.

😭 just hit a nerve with me at the moment, just a great song . As always a great reaction, sorry about your friend may he Rest in peace. Always great to see you beautiful baby girl .

In 1995, British emotional support listening service The Samaritans, in response to the high suicide rate but low crisis service take-up amongst young men, launched a UK press advertising campaign consisting solely of the lyrics to "Everybody Hurts" and the charity's hotline number.

Well congrats you're the first one to make my eyes water.

I remember when Princess Diana died they played this over the shots of people queuing to sign the books of condolence😭😭😭😭

I forgot about this song, so good. REM put out some amazing music in their day.

I've tried many times to take my life but this song has made me see sense x

Always liked this song, and the album it's from Automatic For The People is a brilliant album.

REM is an awesome band and such a great song. We all just need a little time to get together and be a listening ear for each other. That's what the song makes me feel. Mo I'm so sorry about your friend. You can never get over that.

Great reaction beautiful lady

All I can say is a thousand hugs my bbg

I love this song ..beautiful reaction ..❤❤❤❤❤

This is such a remarkably beautiful and meaningful song! It gets me every time I hear it. It is my hope and prayer that everyone hurting finds a way to 'Hold On'. And Mo, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. Your reaction and comments were beautifully said. And the scripture posted most appropriate. Thanks Mo!

Tears every time x

Sorry to hear about you losing your friend. It is so hard to understand why it happened and you tend to question yourself wondering what you could have done to help. Even the closest friends can't always change someones mind that feels there is no end to the sadness they feel. I myself have been through it myself, and I am lucky to say that I was strong enough to find a reason to continue on.

A thoughtful, impressive and if I may, a spot on reaction. Thanks for sharing Mo. Godspeed my friend, RNB

You have such a beautiful loving soul

Hi Morenikeji. This is soo a beautiful song , that voice is stunning ! It’s making something to think ! Losing my religion is also a beautiful song from R.E.M. I love your emotional reaction . Don’t crying, you makes me sad ! Thanks you so much. ❤️ from Holland and a big 😘 ! 👍👏💐🙋🏼‍♂️🇳🇱

If you just discovering REM, your in for an incredible experience.

Sorry for your loss, Mo.😢

R.E.M. as a word it is REM. It has different meanings in different contexts. The one I prefer is Rapid Eye Movement - that time in our sleep when we dream and our eyes look in all directions under the lids. R like Rabbit E like Elephant M like Me. There is not a breath said before saying each letter (in English that is). It is like the first 3 letters of "Remember" "REM". We are all connected. If you feel you have too much pressure, my recommendation is to get involved with someone else and get your mind off yourself. It will heal you. Love your reaction to this very special song. You have a beautiful soul.

She is my favorite disco jockey

shit. i watched this just before i'm about to leave the house. now i'm about to walk out the door hoping that no one sees my red eyes. this song is brutal and beautiful. the part with the guy praying in his car and then, "why won't you answer me?", just killed me. also the old man pondering, "she's gone". amazing song. edit: i should also say amazing video, because it brought to light in more ways than the song alone could, just how many different ways there are to feel pain and despair.

Such a beautiful sad song. REM is amazing.

One of the most emotionally effective videos I have ever seen. That ending crescendo gives me chills. Stunning. Knocks you upside the head. What nails it are the subtitles of people's thoughts. And then Michael Stipe just kills it.

The official music video of R.E.M. "Losing my Religion" has 975 million views. Astonishing.

That song has a lot of meaning to me after watching my son fight addiction for 20 years. After many times in rehab he just quit on his own because of his 2 year old niece and 10 month old nephew. Twenty years of crying didn’t work, but hearing a 2 year old say…Uncle Mike did it for him. And writing this makes me tear up. Tomorrow we celebrate one year of sobriety with a steak dinner.

Sorry for your loss. You are not alone. we have all lost someone at some time.

Oh my gosh you are such a beautiful lady with great reactions. I just watched your reaction to great gig in the sky by Pink Floyd. If that doesn't move you nothing will. I'm looking forward to this one. It's REM. Another great song by a great band love you

A true masterpiece.

Great song... loaded with feelings... your reaction speaks tons girl. Looks like you need a hug after this one. (HUGS)

Well done, Mo. I've been waiting for another video from you. Your reaction is, as always, emotionally honest. I'm sorry about the loss of your friend. Stay strong 👍🏽⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Yes, he has a very distinctive voice. This is the slow song...I recommend It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine) That one's FAST! Same voice.

Always be you Mo, always show your emotions, never be ashamed of them... showing them to the world just means your inner beauty shines as brightly as your outer beauty....

Hey Morenikeji there is clearly pain and sorrow in your eyes. Mine too. Everybody hurts. Seek solace in your friends. It doesn't matter who you are we all suffer. I wish I could make you feel better but I cannot because I feel the same. Sometimes we just need a warm embrace to show us we are alive and loved. And you are. Anon.

There we go a fantastic brilliant record with meaning

May GOD blesss you and keep you under HIS wings . Amen.

Beautiful song and you were lovely and touching Mo! Beautiful talk after the song!! 😊

you are so real and it warms the heart to know im not alone in all this stuff we call life ty so much you make me want to climb a mountain thank you so much you have a gift keep showing others how to get in tune with their hearstrings ....music is indeed a miracle of joyous wonder ..

When they all get out of their cars, it give me chills. Every. Single. Time. Even years later, and I know its coming. Crazy.

This song saved my life...when shit gets real. There's few things that will get u to change your thoughts. Fortunately there's beautiful music that saves lives. I had it in my hand and ready to go..then..somehow..this song came on. Don't know why to this this day..for a reason I guess..LIKE THE WORDS SAY..DONT THROW YOUR HAND IN.

I loved your reaction, My Sweet Princess.....

Beautiful and sad song

It hurt to see you cry Baby Girl but I was too so felt good at the same time, Thanks for putting it all out there. Takes courage on your part. And it is so beautiful to see. Much love your way all the time as usual...❤

Such a sadly beautiful and meaningful song. Tears. It helped many, many people 'hold on'. Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush did a duet with a similar theme called 'Don't Give Up'. Equally good. (you will LOVE Peter Gabriel.....try out 'In Your Eyes' you will not be sorry) (oh, and Kate Bush is SPECIAL with many wonderful videos)

Always been an REM favorite.

I understand this song brings a lot of healing to some people. Thanks for playing it!

that beautiful song done a job on you young lady.

A masterpiece,love your reaction 🌹🌹🌹🌹

This song, when I was an intensely depressed teenager, kept me from unaliving myself so often.

I just found your channel a few weeks ago.. and I can say your expression to this song is so heart felt and you are not alone! Music is the tapistry of our soul.. Its okay to let out a shout, or a tear.. We feel you!

What a great song it touch me deep in my heart... I love every song u play

I'm 60 , heard song more than 1,000 times. Still tear up. Thank you Sweetheart !

This song gets me every time …

Great song. Song makes me cry too.

You make me feel better Morenikeji. Thank you.

Amazing to see this touch you. I always find this song very cathartic.

I never make thru this one without tears...

Three little words..... HOW YOU FEELING?? Funny how much that can help someone. Even a complete stranger.

You are a sweetheart Mo. Sorry to hear about your friend, powerful song ❤

Beautiful reaction to such a sad song.

She is so sweet 😊

I cried too....song even more emotional to me as I've gotten older....so sorry about your friend❤️

No else could perform this song.

REM made very meaningful, heartfelt songs. If possible, I recommend "Orange Crush".

Watch THE VIDEO and read the minds of the people .... WHILE listening to the lyrics.... VIDEO is very very important in this song.... !

I'm sorry to here about you're friend. Least he had people who cared for him. Unlike me🤷‍♂️. It's hard to " Hang On "

You are loved, Hold on ❤

It's a beautiful song and I am heartbroken for your freind. You show your emotion in such a natural way. I would say that as a Countertpoint listen to REM Losing My Religion. And if no one has suggested it please look at Muse, Newborn, Plug in baby or Hysteria.

Your hair is beautiful styled that way.

So deep as usual Michael Stipe of REM.

Nice lady. This is what I was young too…. & life was good , slow , with melody x

Just… thank you. X

Every time I hear this song, it reminds me of a very special friend who I helped get through a really tough time in her life. The song was released during that time and we both feel connected to it . We don't see each other very much these days as she now lives overseas but we remain the best of friends.

I feel your pain Mo. Please stay strong💪🙏. Love your REM review.

....just keep holding on baby girl....

Morenikeji I cry with you baby girl. Listen to this song many times and every single time I cry without failure. Seeing you cry is a heartache. Your reviews are sooo beautiful heartfelt and genuine. So sorry for your friend's death I know it can be very painful losing someone you love and this song brings strong emotions Wishing you peace and love baby girl. God bless you.

Both you and the song are beautiful. Greetings from Norway. 😀

A MUST HEAR,, Los Lonely Boys "Heaven" (Official Music Video)

The song reflects the sorrow that grips all of us and is a real challenge to living a joyful life. Mo, not so much the song, but the promise that you shared as a reminder that through the true grace of the gospel, we are strengthened with his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy. The pathos is surrendered to the promise.

Its a beautiful song, Michael Stipe's vocals are just perfect. This song gets anyone with a heart and soul. So sorry for your losses, but as you say, you are not alone.

Half a world away from you. Thank you for being soooo strong to open your emotions to millions When others can't or won't. Your family must be proud of you. The artists you present are proud of you for showing the emotions that they put into music that we all share worldwide. Much respect🙏 !

A very good mate, who couldn't let go of his pain due to a divorce.. I just wish I had a chance to sit with him and listened to this song together...RIP Wayneo ,miss you mate.

music is powerful.

You do a great reaction to music I grew up with. Don't ever hide your emotions that is what the writer is hoping for. It touches most people.

This song is amazing. No one ever wants to talk about suicide. Some kills themselves ever 34 seconds, something, is, seriously wrong

I am sorry for your loss of a friend. We are all in this life together and we have a great God who cares for each one of us. This song helped a lot of people out who were feeling desperate.

This is a great song! Let me recommend Five for Fighting's "100 years". It's a beautiful song and anyone of any age can relate to this song. Especially when you first have kids.

The songs you react to are the songs I grew up with. It's nice to see a new generation listening to the greatest music ever written.You would also enjoy Johnie Cash's version of this.
