R.E.M. - It Happened Today Lyrics
This is not a parable
This is a terrible
This is a terrible thing
Yes I will rhyme that after, after all I've done today
It happened today.
Hooray! Hooray!
It happened.
Hip, hip, hooray!
We'll leave the allegory to another Bible story
Out of deference, defiance and choice
And close in on a promise after, after all I've done today
I have earned my voice
It happened today.
Hooray! Hooray!
It happened.
Hip, hip, hooray!

R.E.M. It Happened Today Comments
Tutti gli album della band sono incredibili e tutti i pezzi di tutti i dischi sono fantastici e tutti i video di tutti i brani di tutti i dischi sono emozionanti. Amore per i REM.
This is the most beautiful song.
Дерьмовый клип на великолепную песню.
Is this version available somewhere? This is way stronger than the album version.
Love this video. Life’s Rich Pageant came out when I was his age, when I first began listening to REM. And what that kid did, that’s what us gen x kids did all the time. I hope there’s room in the world today for my kids to do that kind of thing without either them or me being thrown in jail. The haphazard poetry of childhood and life seems to be being squeezed by this terrifying zeal for control of everything we say, think and do. Even though this song is a ballad, it is still punk rock.
Spot on Simon. Thank you for that comment! Speaks volumes.
I love the sound of mandolin, guitar, acoustic guitar, banjo and bass guitar at the same time. Total classic music.
This coming winter brought to you by... Earth's 23.5 degree axial tilt.
Adolescence is such a beautiful thing, the fear of getting caught, the recklessness of water, you cannot see me naked....
what a great work
screw rem, hidden cameras bitchessssssss :P
Pele the Conqueror
R.E.M lo mejor de lo mejor!!!!!
Nice video.
My favourite band! Wish they would make a comeback..
Please someone bring them togheter , collapse into now needs to be played live....
The best part from 4:20
Best part: 4:19 - 6:00
Definetely , greatest song ever.
Best part is 0:00 - 6:10
Wee shit burned the old man's hay. Lucky he didn't get shot.
near the end of the video are rituals one cannot put in words. the old man with the gun symbolizes fear.
the boy and the smile connotes freedom

the sheep look so happy!X
I hate this video. How about the dogs??
This song is pretty much REM's Abbey Road in one song
Troppa emozione. Grazie.
love REM.
leave the allegory to another bible story.
wool to make winter coats.
the ewe lambs were cool. every sheep needs to be sheered of their wool.
This was the intro song to Pearl Jam`s Lexington, KY show when they walked out. Was freaking awesome, and loud as fuck.
The little boy is adorable. I am trying to figure out what the video is trying to symbolize, but I realize that Michael Stipe is bit out there in his videos .
Tim McDonald there is also a movie with him. Just watched it night.
Another Fantastic REM song! Stipe is really amazing.
Best video of all time. reminds me of growing up in Nebraska. Wandering around...exploring stuff in the snow. Never really made any sense and that was the point. You just live.
brilliant!
I don't get it... the video story
I remember like yesterday when R.E.M. announced that they will not be making music anymore, whole day i listened this.
Cool song. I don't remember hearing it on any of their mainstream albums. Where does the video take place? Nice visuals. Real cute kid, snowy weather, enjoy the music.
It's from Collapse into Now, their final album.
could someone please explain what this video visual means please.
thankyou2532 no
fantastic
I vanna fuck that boy :)
this is my song to me and Brandon McPherson.
That looks like a very Italian boy.
My full name is Richard D'Aguarez Hymen, so yes. It's pronounced like "Hymeen", I have north African ancestry. Dick is slang for "Richard." Why do people keep asking me this?
LOL. You can't be serious. I think you're joking. If not, go to the urban slang dictionary. These jokes have been around a very long time, I remember the same jokes in the 50's and 60's, and my dad's generation in the 40's-50's. It probably dates back to at least the medeival era.
jees - why the vitriol..? liten up
Andrew M dick and hyman. I'm dead
Good joke, I've always thought of those 2 names that way
в лучших традициях!
+Tedium Vitae in the best traditions? I don't get it
good job ...
Why wasn't this version on the album? Where can I get this version?
superrrrrrrr
That whole long buildup from 2:16 to 4:16 and then the emphatic fall is just the best!
Exactly!
God, Eddie Vedder was such a perfect haunting guest voice to add to that.
Dat Eddie Vedder in the background...
He's doing the backing vocals
What is going on, I do not understand this at all.
What a beautiful coming out coming of age video, and song
Their last album was great, a beautiful gift to their fans. Incredible that they split up after such an inspired work.
I love this song, it always lifts up my mood and is among R.E.M. best works. I miss them.
Goddamn this song is awesome
Good video too
Miss REM but legacy is frankly so good it keeps getting better
Wonderful
B R A S I L <3 muito show !!^^
Amazing that a story with so much feeling could be told in only 7 minutes. REM has been one of my favs for a long time. I recently watched the new movie, The Cold Lands, with this same boy, a few years older, as the lead. Very good movie.
Anyone else hear Eddie Vedder in the middle part or is that just me?
@Michael Pruett He does backing vocals on the song, so yes.
@trevgreg2 yes he does
TROP TROP BEAU JOCILIO. J'AIME VRAIMENT BEAUCOUP. SUPER MUSIQUE SUPER CLIP.
Offrande D'Amour p
buenisimo!!!
The Cold Lands prequel
The kid, I knew I say him from somewhere lol
Love REM. Their songs are (or were) so deep and just 'different'
Mágico!
Where does this version come from?
Esta cancion me llena de alegria, tiene algo que me hace poner de buen humor, me hace sonreir, la forma en que canta, el coro, me llena de tanta paz, sinceramente amo esta cancion y a la banda!
It,s really RAPID.EYE.MOVEMENT.!!!!
Never heard this version before. Awesome.
This is Mike's goodbye song.
Little sheeps!
So you owe your life to R.E.M ? Please tell me more about their medical qualifications....
¡Tremendamente bonita! :)
Quando criança ouvi apenas uma vez esta musica... Finalmente a achei novamente! A mais bonita que ja ouvi...
There's just no band like the R.E.M.!
I promised myself I would stop watching R.E.M. videos about an hour ago but... yes, I'm still here. Damn you youtube and your suggestions bar...
Listening to this band means getting always a lot of emotions - deeply.........
the boy is so handsome
Just AWESOME. A great combination! I miss R.E.M and love Eddie Vedder! Beautiful lyrics and song!!!
oh god, how can you beat that for a Video. They will be missed by all their fans
This is actually my favorite version of the song!
i have a question: this album was the last record?
What lovely sentiment. Thank you for encapsulating what R.E.M. is.
My god, Stipe with Vedder !!!
They must reunite some day, no worries
thank's REM
" It Happened Today "
I was in Berlin the day this was recorded! Why couldn't I have know! >.<
I got to see Pearl Jam that day in Berlin, and to know that Eddie Vedder had gone in to record with R.E.M earlier that day!!
september 2011: It's a wound that will never heal.
Reminds you of Eddie Vedder coz it's his song :)
perhaps the best REM song ever. they fill my heart in every song.
Reminds very much of Eddie Veder's music from the movie Into the Wild, but I like it
I agree the video is a disappointment but the song is just spectacular.
One of the greatest bands of our time and a personal favorite, from Document to Green to Automatic and beyond...just brilliant.
It happened...
The last great song from this amazing band...farewell and thank you for all the memories!
Michael Stipe and Eddie Vedder do a song together and instead we get this video? Wasted opportunity. Thumbs down.
Guy with gun heads back into forest and kid is seen outside his home again in a winter scene of his home from outside, pulling a stem of his torch of flowers into their mailbox door as a flag reminder of what is real and what is just a dream
He finds stem Flowers and card board he discards and begins to toss the flowers like decorations on a celebration cake and he is seen with red and yellow paint which is really mustard and ketchup prolly going all cake chef WILDCool.Can oh STERNO which will last long time for ahhhh torch!Yes Torch!Dude with gun appears-maybe sheep herder?sees kid with sterno torch?Who burns hay baleWtf?
Summer Birds CHirping-Kid wakes from dreaming about winter and a dog and a guy with a gun-He is blown away;he sees his mother and sister in summerbut outside he sees winter,for sure-He is bored to tears in the real world his mother and sister inhabit,He is mother phuckin gone Winter brother!SnowANgel!Sheep Smiling!Muther Phuckin Winter!Brother!Dog seems to say; "Turn Back"Tunnel?To WHere?A Dumpster maybe on fire in WInter?Wtf?
