Everybody hurts rem what does it mean

There was an error. It is possible indeed, likely to be depressed before you commit suicide. The song may or may not be written with Cobain in mind but the timeline does not exclude the possibility. Besides the song sounds to me to be written for someone who is not yet dead. How can you "hold on" if you've already let go. Undertoad2 on July 26, General Comment This songs reminds me of how little we know about the people around us until its to late, at some time in our lives someone we know, care about or love will die, some may even kill them selves, its only then we ask ourselves WHY.

This songs tells us that everybody hurts sometime, like the tears from a clown, comedians are said to be some of the saddest people in the world hiding there pain by making other people laugh, they use the laughter they create to deflect there inner pain.

Some people say that suicide is the cowards way out, far from it its possibly the bravest thing in the world, There is a Cary Grant film the title of which escapes me for now but the idea behind the film is a man finds himself in a situation where he thinks the world and the people he most cares about would be better off without him, an Angel gives him the chance to see the world as if he never existed, the empty lives of the people he had never touched, if only we could all see the difference each and everyone of us makes to the world and the people in it no matter how smaller part we think we play.

Someone would miss us all, someone else who hurts just like us just like everybody sometimes acheron on May 12, Link. General Comment This song gives hope out there for everyone whom has been hurt in the past.

Anti-suicide song. I heard Stipe wrote this for Kurt Cobain, but that's only what I heard. This song makes me cry at times too. The music video goes so well with the song.

It's just a reassurance kind of song saying "Everybody does hurt, so don't think it's just you. The end with Stipe singing "Hold on Is very beautiful, and in the video, that being the only thing he is just beautiful. April 14, June 13, Skip to content R.

It seems like it is reaching out to those who think about committing suicide: "When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on. Basically, when you are that down, your days will be full of your own dark sorrow and it will seem that it is all night.

Yet is it not the songs clear and direct words that sometimes gives its' power to help everybody that hurts? It is aimed at teens killing themselves because highschool is such hell for them, look it up on wikipedia. I Think It's just about the death of a loved one, and we all need to grieve and go through the process,and once we have gone through that then we can move on, but we will never forget. Everyone has moments in life where they feel they want to give up, but hang on! It will get better!

This song is about how I feel at the moment. I have to be strong. My 3 children need me. The oldest is only 3 and my partner has left me. I hurt so much. This song came out a year before Cobain's suicide. It is simple and steady, and fun to play for those of you aspiring guitar players. The strings fill out the song perfectly. When your day is long. And the night- The night is yours alone. Well hang on. When your day is night alone hold on. Hold on if you feel like letting go hold on.
