R.E.M. es una influyente banda estadounidense surgida en 1980 en el Estado de Georgia (EE.UU.), pionera del denominado rock alternativo e inspiración de bandas de desarrollo posterior.
En la década de los 70, plena era punk, un estudiante de arte llamado Michael Stipe conoce a un coleccionista de LP´s de los años 60 llamado Peter Buck. Ambos se unen a dos músicos experimentados, Mike Mills y Bill Berry, y comienzan a tocar en pubs locales en la ciudad de Athens. Pronto se expanden por todo el estado y en 1982 publican un EP, "Chronic Town" con la discográfica IRS. Combinando rock-folk y punk logran que la crítica les defina como auténticos innovadores de la música. Pronto su expansión se traduce a todo el país.
En 1992, R.E.M. lanza su disco más oscuro y con letras más sórdidas, "Automatic for the people", considerado como el mejor disco del grupo hasta el momento. Numerosos sencillos salieron de este disco: "Drive", "Everybody Hurts", "Man on the Moon", "The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite", "Nighstswimming" y "Find The River".

EVERYBODY HURTS
When the 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)
When 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. And 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. You are not alone
When the 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)
When 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. And 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. You are not alone
