My favorite R.E.M. performance ever. I remember watching the awards show and went wild over this version of Drive. Such talent... nice guys too. I wish they hadn't called it quits when they did. 💔

❤When your day is long
And the night, the night is yours alone
When you're sure you've had enough
Of this life, well hang on

Don't let yourself go
'Cause everybody cries
Everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong
Now it's time to sing along

When your day is night alone (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go (hold on)
If you think you've had too much
Of this life, well hang on

'Cause everybody hurts
Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts

Don't throw your hand, oh no
Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone
No, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life
The days and nights are long
When you think you've had too much
Of this life to hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody cries
Everybody hurts, sometimes

And everybody hurts sometimes
So hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on

Everybody hurts

❤

I've loved this performance since the night I saw this on MTV, way back when they were still about the music! Lol

[jahmanacum]

I saw this amazing performance by stipe back when it aired, I was getting bored and then the beat changed and there he goes, I felt it with him. That is how music should make you want to move. If music hasn’t done that to you then I feel for ya lol. Not my favourite band or music style by far but I really felt that drive and glad to see it again after all these years. I never forgot it and always wanted to see again so thank you
