LOSIN MY RELIGION
Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe
Oh, life is 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
(chorus)
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight, I'm
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
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 around
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
(repeat chorus)
But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try?
That was just a dream
Just a dream, just a dream
Dream

"Losing My Religion" is an expression from the southern region of the United States, and means losing one's temper or civility, or "flying off the handle." The song itself was described by singer and lyricist Michael Stipe as covering simliar thematic ground to "Every Breath You Take" by The Police, and is, despite the title and the video, entirely irreligious in its subject matter.
In the UK it charted at #19. "Losing My Religion" still receives considerable air time and is possibly the best-known R.E.M. song. It won the 1991 Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.
In November 2004, Rolling Stone magazine listed the song at #169 on its list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".
The song was placed on R.E.M.'s Warner Bros. "best of" album In Time: The Best of R.E.M. 1988-2003 in 2003. It was the only song from Out of Time to get onto the album, as the band left out worldwide top ten hit "Shiny Happy People", amongst other songs.
The song title was used as the title to the second season finale of Grey's Anatomy.
In the Weird Al Yankovic song "Polka Your Eyes out", part of this song is covered, in the style of Polka.
Tori Amos has performed the song live several times.
The post-hardcore band Scary Kids Scaring Kids covered the song for the Punk Goes '90s compilation.
The melodic black metal band Graveworm covered the song as a bonus track on the album (N)utopia.
Rockstar Supernova contestant Ryan Star performed the song on the reality TV show to an overwhelming response.
Michael Stipe has stated that the song was inspired by the Sinead O'Connor song "The Emperor's New Clothes."
Music video
The video, directed by Tarsem Singh, was declared Best Video of the Year at the 1991 MTV Video Music Awards. The video also won for Best Group Video of the Year, Best Breakthrough Video, Best Art Direction in a Video, Best Director of a Video and Best Editing of a Video.
The video is heavy with religious imagery, and notably features images of Saint Sebastian. Soviet poster art imagery is also prominently featured, and the overall dark tone and lighting was heavily inspired by the paintings of Caravaggio.[1] Contrary to popular belief,[1] the promotional music video was not banned in Ireland due to its use of religious imagery because the Republic does not ban music videos.
The concept of the video is based on Gabriel Garcia Marquez' short story, "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings".[1] The first scene is based on a scene from Andrei Tarkovsky's Offret.

El grupo REM (siglas de Rapid Eye Moviment) nació en 1980 en el estado de Georgia, EEUU. Las siglas REM eran utilizadas por los expertos para denominar un período del sueño. Los componentes del grupo son Michael Stipe como cantante, Peter Buck en la guitarra, Mike Mills al bajo y los teclados y Bill Berry en la batería y la percusión.
Tocan por primera vez en una fiesta de cumpleaños de un amigo, tras lo cual alcanzan un gran éxito en su ciudad natal, Athens.
En 1981 lanzan su primer single, 'Sitting Hill'. Un año más tarde lanzan 'Chronic Town', un maxi-single con varias canciones.
En 1983 publican su primer disco completo, 'Murmur', el cual logra un gran éxito de crítica y es nombrado como Album del año.
En 1984 editan su segundo disco, 'Reckoning', recibiendo de nuevo una reacción entusiasta por parte de la crítica, en parte debido a la fuerza que desbordan todas sus canciones.
En 1985 publican un nuevo álbum, 'Fables Of The Reconstruction', grabado en Londres en muy pocos días. Contiene temas nostálgicos y suaves, contrastando con la trayectoria del grupo.
Su cuarto disco, 'Life's Rich Pageant', publicado en 1986, vuelve a los ritmos del rock que abandonaron en cierta medida en su disco anterior. 
Un año mas tarde editan 'Document', con un sonido mucho más estridente y con temas de contenido político, como 'Welcome To The Occupation' o 'Exhuming McCarthy'. Con este disco logran un gran éxito de ventas.
En 1988 sale a la luz 'Green', tras lo cual relizan una gira por numerosos estadios en los cuales el grupo es aclamado por sus ya innumerables fans.
En 1991 publican 'Out Of Time', uno de sus mejores trabajos, con un tema, 'Losing My Religion', que se convierte en un enorme éxito. El disco se convierte en número uno en varios países.
En 1992 lanzan un nuevo disco, 'Automatic For The People', un álbum tranquilo y con baladas un tanto intimistas. Este tono es roto de nuevo por su siguiente disco, 'Monster', en 1994, donde vuelven a sus orígenes rockeros, con sones de guitarra eléctrica y temas que hablan de la sexualidad.
En 1995, en plena gira, el batería Bill Berry sufre una hemorragia cerebral que hace posponer el resto de conciertos. Afortunadamente el músico se recupera totalmente y pueden continuar con el resto de conciertos.
En 1996 sacan un nuevo disco, 'New Adventures In Hi-Fi', con temas que han ido componiendo durante la gira de conciertos del año anterior. Algunos temas fueron grabados en directo, durante los conciertos y otra parte son temas inéditos.
El año siguiente, Bill Berry decide, por sorpresa, abandonar el grupo. Sus motivos, el reposo motivado por su anterior enfermedad y la falta de motivación para grabar nuevos discos y para más giras. A pesar de ello, el grupo decide seguir adelante con su trayectoria profesional, convirtiéndose ahora en un trío.
En 1998 sale su nuevo álbum, 'Up', con muchos sonidos estimulantes y llenos de sensualidad. Un disco intimista y lleno de sonidos y acordes de sintetizador. El título del disco es un verdadero homenaje a su decisión de continuar (up/arriba) en la cima de la música.
