R.E.M - Everybody Hurts

  

Everybody Hurts by REM

ALBUM
Automatic For The People, 1992 (eighth release)

BAND MEMBERS AT THE TIME
Bill Berry, Peter Buck, Mike Mills, Michael Stipe

FUN FACT
Although the band’s name was randomly selected out of a dictionary, it allegedly has nothing to do with the rapid eye movement stage of sleep, as a representative for the band told William Dement, the person who studied and coined the term REM.

ABOUT THE SONG
The orchestral arrangement was written by Led Zeppelin’s bassist, John Paul Jones.

LYRICS
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
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
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

Hold on

Everybody hurts
