“Who else came here from The Bear?”

When the opening riff started on The Bear I was instantly transported back to when I was 13 playing this CD over and over...thanks for the time machine Carm

Heard this for the first time on the second season of The Bear. Made me feel so nostalgic, i can't describe.

The Bear’s music is incredible - via Chicago via Athens via Scotland via love and loss and life everlasting

OMG this song....after 25 years...it's like coming home to a safe place...to a better world.

What an absolutely beautiful song. It gives me chills everytime. Thank you R.E.M. for such incredible music.

Underrated song. One of their best.

THANK YOU The Bear for this great blast from the past!!!!!!!!

The world could use an REM tour right now.

Thank you Michael stipe and friends, you hold a special place in my heart.

Stipe’s voice one of a kind

I've been stuck in an REM loop for days now I love it when this happens

Thank you REM for getting me through the shitty depressing years of my teens and twenties. I've always suffered from depression, and I'm finding out I have a few other issues. Sometimes, it was your music that kept me from jumping off a fucking cliff. And your work still fills my heart today.

One of many favorite R.E.M. songs.

That voice. Those lyrics! That melancholy yet upbeat guitar sound. Just amazing. It’s like a time machine. Listening to REM is like being in my late teens again. Full of hope and sadness.

I don't know why you're mean to me When I call on the telephone And I don't know what you mean to me But I want to turn you on Turn you up, figure you out I want to take you on These words, you will be mine These words, you will be mine, all the time Now fool might be my middle name But I'd be foolish not to say I'm going to make whatever it takes Ring you up, call you down, sign your name Secret love, make it rhyme Take you in and make you mine These words, you will be mine These words, you will be mine, all the time I tripped and fell, did I fall What I want to feel I want to feel it now You know with love comes strange currencies And here is my appeal I need a chance, a second chance, a third chance A fourth chance, a word, a signal A nod, a little breath Just to fool myself, to catch myself And make it real, real These words, you will be mine These words, you will be mine, all the time These words, you will be mine These words haunt me, hunt me down, catch in my throat Make me pray, to say love's confines, oh

This song hits me on many different levels

So beautiful! REM one of the greatest bands ever! I'll never forget the day I saw them live. My heart was singing out of pure happiness and joy.

Michael Stipe’s voice is truly epic. What a band. Fantastic.

Thanks to the season 2 trailer of The Bear for introducing me to this masterpiece

The Bear brought this great song back into my consciousness. So grateful for this.

True art never gets old .

I seem to be always discovering new r.e.m songs...was a teen in the 90's ..grew up with this stuff...ive known and loved alot of there songs for decades...but i only just discovered this gem last year..I cant get enough of it

I don't know why but even after all these years this track makes me well up inside. Stipe's voice just on this song does it for me every time.

What a great song. My favorite band ever.

Miss these days.. thanks Bear for bringing me back .

Monster was an awesome album. I miss those days where the world made more sense

30 years old and still one of the greatest songs ever written..thank you R.E.M.. These words haunt me, hunt me down, catch in my throat Make me pray, to say love's confines, oh

I just need one chance to tell you guys: I will live forever with your music in my soul.

After watching this clip for the 5th consecutive time, I just realised how damn good it is. Love the choice of B&W and the lighting. REM were always ahead of their time and not just with the music.

I love this song. Personal fave from Monster 🤘

Fun fact: at 2:46...the man running in the leather jacket is a young Norman Reedus...who, years later, plays Daryl on the Walking Dead.

God I love you REM. Millsey and the boys, never stop these re-releases and surprises. We miss you terribly.

R.E.M. Is my favourite band and the singer Michael Stipe Is magnific and he has got a fantastic and beautiful voice.I' m like also Mick Mills and the guitar of Peter Buck.R.E.M. Is a great Band.

Always liked REM. This song came out as I was turning 30 and was busy with career, starting family etc. So I never heard it. This past Holiday Season my son was in MSK hospital when his cancer returned. One day on ride home, amongst the holiday music on radio, I heard this song and not knowing what it was about felt how sad it was and it was about missed love. It stuck with me and I would play it every time on way home from hospital as my son’s health deteriorated. He passed in late January and this song always reminds me of my son and that time. Love you forever buddy. 🥲

One of the greatest ballads ever!

This was David Foster Wallace's favourite song! That's how I was introduced to it RIP peace☮️😭😭😭😭

As perfect as the first time, a million times later. ❤️

This should have been the 1st single off Monster. The best track off the album. Love it!

Haven't listened to this in so long. I just watched an episode of the Bear and this was in the soundtrack and here I am.

I was a kid in the early 90s,so I never got the chance to consciously enjoy this gem of music. But thankgod for KZfaq's existence,I can get to taste what I have missed 😍😍💖💖💖

I remember having this on cassette . Seriously underated song!

Turn it up!!! Love this song thirty years later!! This song, and many other REM songs, take me back to the afternoons of my high school years. Good times!

I have been an R.E M. fan for over 40 years! Yes, an old guy still loves the best band that EVER existed.

This song HAS to go to #1 NOW!!

My favorite song of all time ♥️

This album turns 30 this year (2024) geez I feel old! Thank you to The Bear for bringing back into my consciousness. Just the sound of the intro transported me back to 1994… sighs… good times! Welcome to the decade of REAL MUSIC kiddos … enjoy & you’re welcome!

As a fan of R.E.M. since 1985, I can honestly say their album/song output in a ten-yr span was/is second to none...Up there with U2. ❤️

Just an absolutely gorgeous song that I can never hear enough. I love all the art direction in REM’s videos.

These guys have been killing it for decades

His voice is just fantastic

Such a cool, unique-sounding song with the Hammond B-3 humming underneath ...

One of my biggest influencies. I love R.E.M. songs.❤

I don`t how I missed this gem of a great song from one of the most original bands first time around. Now a favourite !

Time pass, music, lyrics, some voices, persists!! REM is part o my life, this kind of songs are SO poetic, pleny of feelings, good in every time, each year!! Thank you, always!!!!

I really can't write anything that hasn't been written already. One of my favorite albums of the 90s👍👍👍🤟🤟🤟

This song is so brilliant ❤️

R . E . M. Hier werden wunderbare erinnerungen an meine jugendzeit wach !

Very few songs where each verse gets BETTER. But this song is a rare one, where each verse completely builds on the previous. That last verse is KILLER. I need a chance, a second chance, a third chance, a fourth chance......

Great song from REM! I never heard it before! Excellent band!

i first heard the song when the album came out in 1994. i was 13 years old. it's still one of my favorite songs.

I need a second chance, a third chance, a fourth chance...

This song will never get old!! Just as good now as when it was first written

Better than most of what's out there today. Real instruments being used.

Classic R.E.M. That's always the right thing..

Still one of my favourite songs ever. Great lyrics, great guitars, great Mike and the team...

Love'em all - the Daves, the Eddies, the Freddies, the Chris' ... but there's something with R.E.M. that's digging even deeper in my soul and comforting me in a state of bittersweet nostalgia than those beloved teenage and adolescence friends above...

"Because you’re the Bear and I remember you” 💙

R.E.M.: esa gran banda que con alguna canción seguro, pero mas que seguro, te llega al corazón

"I remember you, you're The Bear."

To me, this is the greatest song that was ever written.

About damn time! Was weird not seeing this video on the official channel EDIT: video ends before the song does, lol. They'll probably re-upload it to fix the issue EDIT2: remhq still haven't fixed this? So weird EDIT3: they fixed it, hurrah!

It was so great to be around for their journey.

What a song what a group

I've forgotten how much I absolutely love this song man...🎵🎶🎵❤️

The Bear really likes this song. Made it to Season 3 too.

Soy fanático de REM desde sus inicios, es mi grupo favorito, son muchos los temas que forman parte de la banda sonora de mi vida, siempre soñé con agradecerles personalmente su música, se que no sucederá, pero quiero destacar este tema, me parece un temazo, lo pongo en el top 3 y siendo REM es mucho decir, pero es que entro en bucle cada vez que lo escucho, increíblemente infravalorado para el gran público, no así para los reales fanáticos. Desde España, millones de gracias por vuestra música.

Strange Currencies was always in my top 15 of R.E.M. Also, I heard it live in 2008 :___

Love, love love this song and clip. Hopefully they will fix the ending stuff up.

‘Fool might be my middle name.’ Word.

The soundtrack to my life in 1994 🙏💙

This is my favorite REM song, what a awesome relaxing and true song.

This is the first time I have ever heard this tune. A very dear friend and I share tunes..today he shared this one with me..I listened to it about half a dozen times already..👏 Amazing. thank my dear friend and REM for an awesome tune.

Masterpiece.

Still listening October 2019

I never understood why this song didn't get more attention, it's really one song that I loved on first listen. I still love it all these years later!

still get Goosebumps after all these years

No words enough to describe this great song!!!!

I’ve only heard a couple of their songs but after watching under the silver lake I’m a big fan idk why I didn’t listen to their music yrs ago but the music went well with the film. My parents always listen to them now I see why they loved rem

thanks The Bear S2 for introducing me to this beast

It takes me back to 1995, very good song

Give her your real number, Carmy!

Discovered this song through season 2 of "the bear" and now I was here😊

The Bear reminded me how much I f’ing love this song 🔥 Just say SORRY !!!!!!!!!!❤

Another sensational band that America has produced, at the time I knew that they were good blah blah, then i clicked into gear later in the 90's, saw them live, uk, they are/were totally superb, nobody has /does sound like them, so good every member

REM MERAVIGLIOSAMENTEUNICI ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
