Michael Stipe has an exquisitely mysterious aura. When he smiles, I smile.

For me, Michael Stipe is one of finest lyricists of the last fifty years, a poet, quietly charismatic
and what a superb band he fronted!!

This song breaks me. It was played at my dad's funeral. They were always his favourite

REM are like an infnite box of music. Wherever you'll dig, you'll find gold.

Does anyone else enjoy seeing Michael Stipe smile so much in this track, like I do?

Michael's poetry and soft voice + Mike and Pete's melodies = Pure magic. Compare REM's songs to the absolute shaite we're getting served today, , I feel sad for young people

When I lost my only Daughter from a hideous disease MND her mobile phone still had her voice on it and I would ring it just to hear her voice, she was so beautiful.

The bass harmonica, the 4/4 chords on the piano, the dit-dit-dit vocals...REM are such good students of Brian Wilson...

R.E.M. the best ❤ Li ho scoperti quando avevo circa 15 anni..nel lontano '92 ...ed è stato amore al primo ascolto! Michael Stipe è affascinante!😍 Adesso è un eclettico artista nel campo delle arti visive. Di recente (dicembre '23) c'è stata una sua mostra a Milano.

This video always touches my heart. It is about perseverance, never giving up, no matter what hardships befall us. This beautiful soul represents grace under pressure. I also love seeing Michael smiling here, and often. It is a favorite video

There’s a line that says “ you always say your name like I wouldn’t know it’s you” It speaks of extraordinary humility. My partner who died in a car accident did that, every time she called. Even though I knew it was her. I guess it’s what we should all do. Famous or not

My ex bf sent me this when we were still together because he said that this song made him think of me and that he loved to make me smile. I was a fan of REM but didn't know this track and have loved it since then. He died 5 years ago but the playlists with songs like this one remain 💔❤️ RIP Cam Reid

At their most beautiful. This song gets to me every time, with lines like "I count your eyelashes...". It doesn't need a video xx

Whomever the music supervisor was for "Never Been Kissed" was a genius. This song was put in the perfect part of the movie, when she finally was at the peak of her popularity in the school that she sought after for so long. Fit the whole vibe perfectly with the Perfect scene and even more perfect song selection with this song. Absolutely beautiful and gorgeous song.
