This song is now a cliche' of a cliche'. I honestly don't even know if it's good or not it is so tainted.  |

 I disagree with your sentiments, but applaud the delivery :) This song always makes me think of being a wallflower at college discos, watching the girls I fancied rotten getting off with other guys whilst I felt sorry for myself. Sad, I know :( |

I'm not sure what I was thinking rating this an 8. It's a 10!

Too much whiny nasal singing, too much "every song sounds the same", too much reworking one dimensional REM melody lines, song after song from them. I had hoped these guys would be a one hit wonder when they first showed up... now, it just hurts my ears. Just... too much REM - for too long.

"This song is about not having the nerve to confess a love for someone. Losing his "religion" or temper over the frustration of it all."
And maybe his frustration/anger is even greater since his love is of the forbidden homosexual kind.

I don't know, but maybe he is playing with the ambivalent meaning of that expression "loosing my religion"?

It's funny that the title of this song caused so much controversy, because it's not about religion at all. "Losing your religion" is a southern expression about losing your temper and doing or saying things that are "un-Christian".
That part is a play on words. This song is about not having the nerve to confess a love for someone. Losing his "religion" or temper over the frustration of it all. But one need only look to the video to see they're playing with a more literal interpretation of some of the lyrics. |

You're talking about U2, right? Because this set up the best trio of albums from a band as I think has ever been recorded, the high point being Automatic For the People in the middle... Like Republicans, I'll never understand the post-80s REM haters... (and yes I know U2 isn't an American band, but if you want to talk about bands that have descended into mediocrity after peaking in the late 80s/early 90s...) |
