Lyrics for Song: Everybody Hurts
Lyrics for Album: Automatic For The People
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
But everybody hurts sometimes
So hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,
hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts
You're not alone

Everybody Hurts
Released on R.E.M.'s 1992 album Automatic For The People, "Everybody Hurts" stands as a defining anthem of the alternative rock era. The track blends the band's signature jangly guitar work with a soaring, gospel-tinged vocal performance by Michael Stipe, creating an emotional landscape that resonated deeply with audiences. While the song is often associated with themes of collective struggle and hope, its enduring popularity stems from its universal appeal and its ability to function as both a radio staple and a live crowd favorite. As a centerpiece of Automatic For The People, it helped solidify R.E.M.'s status as a major force in American music during the early 1990s, influencing countless artists who followed. |
