Everybody hurts

Cantante: REM

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 aloneIf 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 onWell, 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 onEverybody hurtsYou are not alone

Ma certo che tutti noi soffriamo. Pensi di essere esente dal dolore, dalla sofferenza? No, certo che no.

L’importante è non lasciarsi andare e rialzarsi a testa alta perché la notte non è così lunga come la si pensa. È una lirica pazzesca, struggente accompagnata da un video in cui tutti sono rinchiusi nelle proprie auto, in uno spazio confinato, claustrofobico. E Michael Stipe quasi stizzito riesce ad uscire e dare l’esempio a tutti. Tutti lo seguono. Lacrimoni alla fine.
