R.E.M. is an American treasure that warms the heart an touches the soul. Live long and prosper gents! You are missed but, never forgotten...Thanks for the tunes!!!
Man, that is some old-style R.E.M. harmonies there! There's something about the quality of Michael's voice near the end (3:35), in that wordless cry, that has always moved me profoundly. And this song features one of my favourite things from R.E.M. - interleaving lyrics (as in two of my all-time favourite songs, "Wendell Gee" and "Fall on Me"). I wish they would do even more of that sort of thing!
I was just thinking how I love when bands do that. Blink-182 did that end of Feeling This too! I was thinking of some ideas for one of my own songs that I could incorporate something like it
Michael said he conceived this song as he was looking out the window of an airplane leaving NY. It really sets the mood I'm in when I leave my favorite places.
I had the pleasure of seeing them live at Hallam FM Arena in Sheffield and they were simply outstanding. His voice live is by far the best ive ever heard. Cant wait to see them again!!!
Lyrics It's quiet now and what it brings is everything Comes calling back a brilliant night I'm still awake I looked ahead I'm sure I saw you there You don't need me to tell you now That nothing can compare You might've laughed if I told you You might have hidden your frown You might've succeeded in changing me I might've been turned around It's easier to leave than to be left behind Leaving was never my proud Leaving New York never easy I saw the light fading out Now life is sweet and what it brings I tried to take The loneliness it wears me out It lies in wait And on a loss still in my eyes Shatter a necklace across your thigh I might've lived my life in a dream But I swear this is real Memory fuses, and shatters like glass Mercurial future forget the past But it's you, it's what I feel You might've laughed if I told you You might have hidden your frown You might've succeeded in changing me I might've been turned around It's easier to leave than to be left behind Leaving was never my proud Leaving New York never easy I saw the light fading out You find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart You find it in your heart, (change) I told you forever I love you forever I told you I love you, I love you forever I told you forever I love you forever I told you I love you, I love you forever You never, you never, you told me foreveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer! You might've laughed if I told you You might have hidden your frown You might've succeeded in changing me I might've been turned around It's easier to leave than to be left behind Leaving was never my proud Leaving New York never easy I saw the light fading out
I will always remember those people asking for a rescue that never will be bring, at least I have this song to remember every day in my mind, you will never be forget ♥️♥️♥️
The music will bring us come together. Love R.E.M 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 The music will bring us come together. Love R.E.M 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 The music will bring us come together. Love R.E.M 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
You might have laughed if I told you You might have hidden A frown You might have succeeded in changing me I might have been turned around It's easier to leave than to be left behind Leaving was never my proud Leaving New York, never easy I saw the light fading out Now life is sweet And what it brings I tried to take But loneliness It wears me out It lies in way
Michael e la sua band .... da pelle d' oca ... Mi ha ricordato nella gestualità e nel modo di cantare Peter Gabriel un altro grande di progressive rock. Roby da Mantova.
Leaving New York was very hard, very, very hard. Take care all you wonderful people there. Listening only this song at home. Luckyly I have this one on ´7 vinyl pictureversion.
It's quiet now And what it brings Is everything Comes calling back A brilliant night I'm still awake I looked ahead I'm sure I saw you there You don't need me To tell you now That nothing can compare
I'm calling out The midnight void But no one's there And all across High in the sky An air of distrust I can't rely I might've given my life To be by your side And I swear I loved you.
AND ABOUT FEELINGS:THATS LIFE(TEARS,HAPPINESS,) THATS LIFE:A LOT OF SADNESS,HAPPINESS,SOMETIMES CONFUSION,AND ALL IT MATTERS IS HOW MUCH FUN YOU HAD,AND WITH R.E.M. FUN IS GUARANTEED
And all not lost Still in my eyes The shadow of necklace Across your thigh I might've lived my life in a dream, but I swear This is real Memory fuses and shatters like glass Mercurial future, forget the past It's you, it's what I feel. Chorus I'm tired now And what it brings A broken wing

I can literally sit down and watch R.E.M videos for weeks.
Absolutely best group ever.
Pure creative geniuses
I may have to agree with you there ..at least best American band
I love this song. I'm so glad there's a live version
Michael Stipe is a great artist ! Brilliant Music!
R.E.M. is an American treasure that warms the heart an touches the soul. Live long and prosper gents! You are missed but, never forgotten...Thanks for the tunes!!!
Such poets...such passion!
Brilliant stage presence. Damn, not many people can be a frontman like Stipe anymore. It's a lost art.
Leaving New York is never easy. Been there four times and I cry each time I have to go home. This song brings me comfort!

Michael is so great - what a fantastic performance!
My favourite live version.

This song is a piece of my life. Long story... 💖
Great song. Great Harmonies. Great Band.
Though the album it's from may not go down as one of R.E.M.'s finest moments, this song, in my opinion, is a masterpiece. Beautifully performed here.
yes indeed; this is aching
Fantastic - Michael & Mike rock on the vocals.
Michael said he conceived this song as he was looking out the window of an airplane leaving NY. It really sets the mood I'm in when I leave my favorite places.
leaving was never my proud
leaving new york never easy
i saw lights fading out

Lyrics
It's quiet now and what it brings is everything
Comes calling back a brilliant night
I'm still awake I looked ahead
I'm sure I saw you there
You don't need me to tell you now
That nothing can compare
You might've laughed if I told you
You might have hidden your frown
You might've succeeded in changing me
I might've been turned around
It's easier to leave than to be left behind
Leaving was never my proud
Leaving New York never easy
I saw the light fading out
Now life is sweet and what it brings
I tried to take
The loneliness it wears me out
It lies in wait
And on a loss still in my eyes
Shatter a necklace across your thigh
I might've lived my life in a dream
But I swear this is real
Memory fuses, and shatters like glass
Mercurial future forget the past
But it's you, it's what I feel
You might've laughed if I told you
You might have hidden your frown
You might've succeeded in changing me
I might've been turned around
It's easier to leave than to be left behind
Leaving was never my proud
Leaving New York never easy
I saw the light fading out
You find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart
You find it in your heart, (change)
I told you forever I love you forever
I told you I love you, I love you forever
I told you forever I love you forever
I told you I love you, I love you forever
You never, you never, you told me foreveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer!
You might've laughed if I told you
You might have hidden your frown
You might've succeeded in changing me
I might've been turned around
It's easier to leave than to be left behind
Leaving was never my proud
Leaving New York never easy
I saw the light fading out
Amazing song
I will always remember those people asking for a rescue that never will be bring, at least I have this song to remember every day in my mind, you will never be forget ♥️♥️♥️
Top tune LEGEND Manchester 🇬🇧
Another amazing song by REM i love Michael Stipe ❤❤❤
Man when he sang this in New York it most have been one hell of a show!
I think it´s a metaphore,leaving new york would mean to leave your life behind to start a future. It´s a goodbye song.
But it's you, that's what I feel
This is a more expressive version than the one on "Around the Sun." Enjoying the new CD/DVD, guys; keep it up! Waiting for "Accelerate" too!
Touching indeed, masterpiece
Beautiful
Absolutely fantastic thank you rem
The music will bring us come together. Love R.E.M 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

Sono meravigliosi con questa canzone ho un bellissimo ricordo. Li amo
You might have laughed if I told you
You might have hidden A frown
You might have succeeded in changing me
I might have been turned around
It's easier to leave than to be left behind
Leaving was never my proud
Leaving New York, never easy
I saw the light fading out
Now life is sweet
And what it brings
I tried to take
But loneliness
It wears me out
It lies in way
GREATEST.BAND.EVER.
Who are the 34 people who gave this video a thumbs down? This is riveting.
i love this song!!!!
Michael e la sua band .... da pelle d' oca ... Mi ha ricordato nella gestualità e nel modo di cantare Peter Gabriel un altro grande di progressive rock.
Roby da Mantova.

Leaving New York was very hard, very, very hard. Take care all you wonderful people there. Listening only this song at home. Luckyly I have this one on ´7 vinyl pictureversion.
A very unique sound beautiful
the harmonies - one of the best versions
Such a great song
Michael Stipe is brilliant in this . He and Mike Mills sound awesome together!!
Mills is a great harmonizer!!
Gonna see them next Sunday. It will be great!!
Roll on Twickenham indeed! Saw them in Hyde Park in '05, and will again tomorrow. Brilliant band, with seemingly limitless energy. Hurrah.
It's quiet now
And what it brings
Is everything
Comes calling back
A brilliant night
I'm still awake
I looked ahead
I'm sure I saw you there
You don't need me
To tell you now
That nothing can compare
Great song 👽👏
mike mills sounds amazing in this version. you can really hear the harmonies in this mix.
Couldn't agree with you more !
Michael is amazing. Mike is pretty damn good too... They've really gotten how to play this song down.
Amo a esta banda, que mas puedo decir??? Me hubiera gustado mucho estar ahi en Dublin...pero me conformo con el CD/DVD.
Excelente!! tema!!!,
Sergio, Buenos Aires

FANTASTICI, li amo❤️
Love this song, thanks for posting
Just beautiful.
I'm calling out
The midnight void
But no one's there
And all across
High in the sky
An air of distrust
I can't rely
I might've given my life
To be by your side
And I swear I loved you.
Sweet music
they played this at the show last night!
he said it was the first time they had played it in 3 years
Bellissima... e dal titolo veritiero!
puretazo muy buen tema lo escucho todos los dias.
excelente!
I saw them at their free concert in Cologne by the cathedral. It was not only the cheapest concert I ever went to, but also the most impressive
THIS IS REAAAAL
AND ABOUT FEELINGS:THATS LIFE(TEARS,HAPPINESS,)
THATS LIFE:A LOT OF SADNESS,HAPPINESS,SOMETIMES CONFUSION,AND ALL IT MATTERS IS HOW MUCH FUN YOU HAD,AND WITH R.E.M. FUN IS GUARANTEED
very good .......
And all not lost
Still in my eyes
The shadow of necklace
Across your thigh
I might've lived my life in a dream, but I swear
This is real
Memory fuses and shatters like glass
Mercurial future, forget the past
It's you, it's what I feel.
Chorus
I'm tired now
And what it brings
A broken wing
❤
I saw REM live in Hyde Park, back 2005.
Gerat song of my youth
I really can't wait to get the DVD, and album 14 is 2/3 completed!!!!
