I always thought REM should record this song acoustically in a proper studio. I love this version, more than the album version. Always have. The choral arrangement on this version is so beautiful, and undermined by the dissonance of the album version. I love dissonance, I love punk and Sonic Youth and all sorts of stuff, but this song wasn't meant to be abrasive. It was meant to be overly beautiful like this.
Been in love with R.E.M since 1983 when I heard them for the first time at the age of 13. At night, every now and then, I could get WCWM, the College of William and Mary's student radio station to come in . It was on one of those nights that I heard what is still one of my favorite songs ever... Radio Free Europe. Thank you R.E.M., for a lifetime of brilliant music!
i think the tune and melody to this version make it more uplifting somehow. But yes, devastating when thinking about the lyrics and reason it was written, which can also be for other people in the world who have gone too soon (for the listeners) and not just for Curt.
Yeah, all those stars drip down like butter Promises are sweet We hold out our pans, lift our hands to catch them We eat them up, drink them up, up, up, up Hey, let me in Hey, let me in I only wish that I could hear you whisper down Mister fisherman, to a less peculiar ground He gathered up his loved ones and he brought them all around To say goodbye, nice try Hey, let me in Yeah, yeah, yeah Hey, let me in, let me in I had a mind to try to stop you Let me in, let me in And I've got tar on my feet and I can't see All the birds look down and laugh at me Clumsy, crawling out of my skin Hey, let me in Yeah, yeah, yeah Hey, let me in Hey, let me in Yeah, yeah, yeah Hey, let me in

There is music and there is the Let me in by REM. Thank you for publishing
It has to be electric for me, like when I saw it played on Monster Tour, a solitary spotlight shining on Kurt's guitar. Chills.
so many tears i cried listening to that song
RIP Kurt
Touching . Deeply. Thank you REM.
I love this band.
Michael is a true genius!
rip kc
Hurts to hear this. So sad

Yeah, all those stars drip down like butter
Promises are sweet
We hold out our pans, lift our hands to catch them
We eat them up, drink them up, up, up, up
Hey, let me in
Hey, let me in
I only wish that I could hear you whisper down
Mister fisherman, to a less peculiar ground
He gathered up his loved ones and he brought them all around
To say goodbye, nice try
Hey, let me in
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, let me in, let me in
I had a mind to try to stop you
Let me in, let me in
And I've got tar on my feet and I can't see
All the birds look down and laugh at me
Clumsy, crawling out of my skin
Hey, let me in
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, let me in
Hey, let me in
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, let me in
Kurt ❤️
RIP Kurt Beanie
RIP Bill Rieflin. 😪
Mike Mills:. The not so secret weapon.
once upon a time there was this channel called the MTV
Lyrics
Yeah, all those stars drip down like butter
Promises are sweet
We hold out our pans, lift our hands to catch them
We eat them up, drink them up, up, up, up
Hey, let me in
Hey, let me in
I only wish that I could hear you whisper down
Mister fisherman, to a less peculiar ground
He gathered up his loved ones and he brought them all around
To say goodbye, nice try
Hey, let me in
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, let me in, let me in
I had a mind to try to stop you
Let me in, let me in
And I've got tar on my feet and I can't see
All the birds look down and laugh at me
Clumsy, crawling out of my skin
Hey, let me in
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, let me in
Hey, let me in
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, let me in
RIP Kurt Cobain
rip kurt
Amazing version
Brilliant.👍🌹❤️
Nel cuore ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for posting this. Good rendition
Better than the loud version imo.
I like both versions equally
@@FGazi-qf1hp I like both, but this version has an aura of reverence the other lacks, and feels more authentic as a tribute to Kurt. RIP KC♡
@@tonioshea9870 Agree ^^
Бомба , пушка , ракета , торпеда !!! 👍
Realmente hermoso.
Touching.
I don't let myself in!! I need help but i don't want it. Does that make sense?
Please get back together 🙏🏻
Pretty please with a cherry on top
And whipped cream.
First time seeing this. First thoughts: an Bolivian Pan Flute added, maybe mandolin, would make this insane crazy good.
listen again. it's already crazy good. 🔥

Oh and yes, Bill Rieflin is hot!
RIP Kurt and RIP Bill ❤️

lyrics?
You should already know them if you're an R.E.M. fan.
There is also something called Google.
Acoustic? It's a feedback number pretending to be acoustic. Missed the point.
The Respected Lex too bad how R.E.M. missed the point of their own song...luckily The Respected Lex is here to clear things up for them
You are the best! Pretending a singer!
Victor Jensen Well even I might be right.
@@victorjensen2858 He is most Respected by all!
Must be fun at parties
