    Everybody Hurts...

    Hi everyone:

    I was shopping for some lighter weight running shorts in a department store at lunch, completely absorbed in my examinations of what I wanted. Then over the store speakers, came this song, that I had not heard in ages. I remember it well, because sometimes we just identify with a song, and it reminded me of a place I used to be at...

    So anyway, here's the song lyrics. Very intense, and maybe a few of you know what I mean...

    EDIT: I found a link to play the song and the video if you have broadband. Well worth it.

    Tile :R.E.M. - Everybody Hurts
    This is lyrics from LYRICS
    (Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)

    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

                  Love that song too. Although it is really depressing.

                  Are you OK Neil or did you just want to share it with us?

                    This is my Favourite song of all time. I have told my girls that it is to be played at my funeral. I don't consider it depressing, I think it is a song of hope.

                    When everything seems to hard to bear, hold on.
                    It always seems impossible until it's done....

                      That damn song always make me cry like a baby.

                      Oh and Janie that was a great movie. It's hard to watch now, when it first came out I didn't have a problem and couldn't believe Meg Ryan's behavior. I was appalled. Now it hits so close to home it is so different.

                        AFM et. al.

                        Yea, I'm OK. Just got a little misty eyed in the store today when it came on.

                        Sometimes, I just get so darn intense on this sobriety thing. I mean all the things I've been doing for myself. Absolute intensity, without a let-up.

                        It just sort of felt like maybe I should rest or something for a bit. Not anywhere close to wanting or needing a drink, but I've been working on this thing so long, so hard.

                        Maybe just a little battle fatigue that's all.

                        I haven't meditated, hypno, or mind machine in weeks. Maybe I should get some quiet down time this evening. This will be a nice long weekend off work, and maybe an opportunity to re-group the program, and take a long look at what I'm doing here. Make some adjustments and such.

                            REM are awesome. I also like "Losing my religion". :hijacked:

                            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

                            That's me in the corner
                            That's me in the spotlight
                            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
                            Oh no I've said too much
                            I set it up

                            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
                            One day at a time.. Sometimes it's one minute or one second at a time.. Most important thing is to look ahead and don't look back!
