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

[kevinkendle]

when you’re young, you listen to the music, when you get old you listen to the words..❤

[Mst]

The world could use an REM tour right now.

[juliecourville]

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

[jacobfloyd]

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.

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

[rallabhandiprabhakar]

REM is one of the few bands that rarely made a bad song . Most of the REM songs rate from good to outstanding and this song is outstanding

[SpaghettiKillah]

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

[marimon]

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

[dinab]

One of the greatest singers and bands of all-time...

[PeteGibbons]

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.

[bigmuggs]

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

[lsf]

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

[careful...Icarus]

I'm here because I am an REM fan and love this song. Nothing or no one convinced me to be here.

[lisamanic]

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.

[yayakelley]

My favorite R.E.M. song. Pure bliss 🎼

[seanbrady]

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

[timdunlop]

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

[lgibbons]

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.

[kevinkendle]

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
