R.E.M. - Skin Tight Lyrics

I will remember that forever

Hermosa mujer, sera la eterna MJW

Kirsten told us all to never marry an actor, and then she did. lol.

Devastatingly beautiful song

Kirsten 💜❤💖

Best R.E.M. song of all time. There, I said it.

I wonder what she says at the end

Plemmons? Really? Wow.

Quadratisch praktisch gut!

Emotive song brings out Kirsten's best performance as being her beautiful self.

Thanks Kirsten for doing this video, couldn't have been easy, you are a peach

We All Go Back To Where We Belong
R.E.M.

I dreamed what what you were offering
Imagine lying next to me
You should, and your reputation talks
I will write our story in my mind
Write about our dreams and triumphs
This might be my "Innocence Lost"
I can taste the ocean on your skin
That is where it all began
I dreamed that we were elephants
Water, sun and clouds of dust
And woke up thinking we were free

I can taste the ocean on your skin
That is where it all began
We all go back to where we belong
We all go back to where we belong
This really what you want
This really what you want

I can taste the ocean on your skin
That is where it all began
We all go back to where we belong
We all go back to where we belong
This really what you want
This really what you want

I miss R.E.M.

An excellent final single for the band that arguably ties with Radiohead as the greatest since the Beatles.

Good things this life!good song,and beautiful woman!Thanks,Mrs Stipe!and Thanks, Kristen!

Its definitely what I want!!! YOU!!! 😚😎🙋

This song it's better to watch than listen. =p

Beautiful

I really don't remember this song coming out. So strange.. But love the song, its so calming. 😘

Esa sonrisa ilumina el cuarto!!!!

Discovered R.E.M. at the age of 17 (my sophomore year of High School '86/'87). I'm nearly 50.
Good times... great music... some really great memories...

Angel turned at least one mike..----------------------
For a manic magic magnificent moment..where they could spiritually diagram that compound..complex..confluence of a fallen^^_touch..exchange...changeling..eternal...and. free

I love to kiss her upside down 💖

I don't even know what this song means...I don't like it though...at least I don't like it in the context it was sent. Why would you send somebody a song like this?

Wow. So raw. Beautiful. I’ve watched this at least a dozen times. It only took three takes to shoot this video. The video chosen, had Michael singing acapella to Kirsten beside her. I’m glad I found this song and video.

The first time I saw this video, I got the impression that she was listening to words, perhaps from a diary page she had written, put to music. But that's almost certainly not the case. However, in this context, her reaction seems to be purely natural that someone got to the root-feeling of important moments in her life. R.E.M. blessed the world with a 32-year career of music, thoughts, feelings and hopes that inspired people to search themselves for their inner-most being . . . Call it a soul, or a tangible one-ness with other souls. You actually "grow" younger as you "get" older listening to their music. No other band has done this quite so effectively as R.E.M.

You've summed R.E.M. up perfectly. I couldn't agree more.

Torture ! Poor Kirsten... she obiously didn't enjoy it. Can't they SEE how uncomfortable that is ? But it gives them so much more of the egotic satisfaction of doing the basically stupid stuff they do with the most exquisite human beings they NEED in their GREED for MONEY. Didn't intend to be hatefull nor to hurt your feelings. I'm fed up with the arty stuff. So FAKE !

There is another video of her reacting to a Paul McCartney song. I've never heard this song before.

What's not to love with both the song and its listener. Thank you R.E.M.

What a beautiful song and video.

an exquisite song.

Favourite singer with favourite actress

She is so genuine and beautiful. l've loved her at a distance for a very long time. From the very beginning in interview with a vampire. Unique lady.

just great : )

... love it

Very cool. Reminds me of the music video I made for Monsters of Folk in 2009. I wonder if R.E.M had seen it... https://youtu.be/P63QqqYfNgI But no singing to anyone in my video. Just questions and emotion.

The prettiest woman in the world!

Love this woman.

Saw them 3 or 4 times in the eighties. Brilliant live.

Sorry love the simplicity of the video!

Beautiful song. One of their best. Live the simplicity of the video.

I felt as uncomfortable as her! I wasn't even sure she was listening to the song until about 2:36 when she started to bob her head with the music! Great actress, still not sure how she doesnt have an Oscar but J.Lawrence does? Well, there is still time because her range is limitless IMO!

I love it! Kirsten once said, "Never marry an actor." And then she did. lol.

I'd have Kirsten's children.

Classic. 6 yrs ago already!

Kirsten.... I can taste the ocean on your skin! <3

Ahh! to kiss her beautiful mouth..

Michael Stipe hit this one out of the park. So beautiful.

She's thinking, OK Michael didn't write a second verse...

you'd think at 35 years old she would settle down with her fiancee. Not sure if they are still dating or not. Think they still are.

Mesmerizing!!!

تحت المراقبة brings me here

I love Mary Jane!

GRANDE MATURITE ESTHETIQUE ME RAPPELLE LES DEBUTS DE GERRY RAFFERTY

Showwwww

and just to think, REM writes their best song ever on their way out the door...

Adam Grossman

Kirsten dunst is beutiful!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone know what she says in the end?

SoSallyCanWait damn it 😂

SoSallyCanWait I believe she says, You win.

+Newton Burr I'm not sure about that...

SoSallyCanWait Pretty sure she says thank you Mike.

💜 Beautiful song!

personally | prefer brunets

REM disbanded? This isn't really what I want.

Always have loved your music and talent!

Who has the power in this situation, Kirsten or R.E.M?

Had to watch it twice to make sure I didn't miss anything

Great instrumental in this music, and...What a beautiful woman!

beautiful Kirsten <3

I love her and the band,just spell her name correctly.

The instrumental part and the vocals are amazing in this track.

beautiful farewell song to a perfect career.

she's a very feminine woman, not very usual these day

Kinda reminds of the To Build A Home video from Cinematic Orchestra, if never you've seen it.

And, if never before you've seen it, then do yourself a favor and look it up.

a mi tio le gusta latipa

She gave more value to what already was valuable.

Her expression says yes... It's really what I want... x

seems like Warhol's footage :) amazing song anyway

You should edit the title so it has her name as Kirsten not Kristen, as many of her fans keep getting it wrong.

I'm an autograph collector. I was waiting near a group of dealers for her.
When she appeared the morons all yelled, "KRISTEN! KRISTEN!"
I don't know why "Kirsten" is so impossible for people.

muy buena me gusta REM.

Yeah. . . . . . . just, Yeah!!

Every time I listen to this I have shivers but also depresing thoughts that R.E.M is no more 4ever. Sometimes I do forget about them and it's ok, but sometimes it's hard...like when I ride my car and some asshole turn on R.E.M in radio station and in 1 sec I have wet eyes. I had no chance to see them on stage and I won't have. Life is shit, pick your favourite band, buy all their albums and after 3 years of listening all day long to their music get this info "we're done".

we miss REM for sure but I miss Goo Goo Dolls and Boyz 2 Men all broke up,. Some other music we need! Not Justin Bieber or rap crap either oh well!

Very special video. Beautiful woman. But in fact... not much happens in this film, does it? But great song, no doubt about it!

Great. Fantastic. Appealing. I don't know who she is but a feminin woman for sure. An photographic/video experiment par excellence!

fredvanwijnen. Kirsten Dunst is also in Savage Garden's "I Knew I Loved You" video.

What a beutiful person. That's me, talking to the mirror. Nah -- just kidding. We're all beautiful and the actress who appears in this vid is gorgeous.

Loved her since Interview W/ a vampire :)

I love this...you.

This video shows Feminine Beauty at its highest level

Isn't this like, Bob Dylan's screen test, only with more smiling?

a truly great actress reacting honestly to one of the most beautiful songs ever written

From what I've read, Stipe was actually sitting on the other side of the camera signing this to her live.

bellissima interprete di altrettanti bellissimi film.

Wonderful song...love the horn.

*"What is said in this book is not just a theory; it is what the evidence says. It is truth you can check and that makes it the real truth." - from page 12 of "The Present" at TruthContest♥Com*

What does Kirsten say in the end? "Thank you, Mike"?

the way he sings "I can taste the ocean on your skin" is just so beautiful...

So special. :D

Her face at around 1:42 to 1:52 is priceless. Goes from elation \ laughter to very near tears, imho.

thanks for the link, explained a lot ;)
