TFT: R.E.M.

Link: [R.E.M.]

Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world.  For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion.  Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.


Losing My Religion
R.E.M.
Oh
Life
It's bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no
I've said too much
I set it up

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spot light
Losing my religion
Trying to keep a view
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no
I've said too much
I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour
I'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt
Lost and blinded fool
Fool
Oh no
I've said too much
I set it up

Consider this
Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip
That brought me to my knees
Failed
What if all these fantasies come
Flailing aground
Now I've said
Too much

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spot light
Losing my religion
Trying to keep a view
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no
I've said too much
I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
Try
Cry
Why
Try
That was just a dream
Just a dream
Just a dream
Dream


Everybody Hurts
R.E.M.
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
And 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

  2. I had heard of REM but had never listened to their music until a few weeks ago and that song happened to be "Everybody Hurts" which I like very much, on all counts (yes, I relate to the lyrics). The other song you featured sounds very similar to Everybody Hurts - do all their songs sound alike? Anyway - Everybody Hurts is now a fav of mine, the other song, no. Sometimes lyrics just hit you where you live, and Everybody Hurts does that for me...

  4. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Adullamite!!! Yeah, this new comment page sure caught me off-guard the first time it popped up on me. I closed it down on account of thinking that I had hit a wrong button somewhere, but then it came up again!
