Heartbreaking: Everybody Hurts

Everybody hurts - R.E.M. 🎶

This song still gets to me. Big time. The first time I heard it was when I myself was really depressed after my mother had died. I was sixteen years old at the time. Later on I saw the really touching clip as well. During the clip you get to see heartbreaking inner thoughts of people. One of them hit home really hard. A little boy was thinking: 'You die, you turn to dust.'


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)

(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're 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
