Everybody Hurts
R.E.M. Lyrics
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
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
And everybody hurts sometimes
So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts
You are not alone

"Everybody Hurts" is a song by R.E.M., originally released on the band's 1992 album Automatic for the People and was also released as a single in 1993. It peaked at #29 on the Billboard Hot 100, #7 on the UK Singles Charts and #3 on the French Singles Chart.
Much of the song was written by drummer Bill Berry, although as R.E.M. shares songwriting credits among its members, it is unknown how much he actually wrote.

Much of the song was written by drummer Bill Berry, although as R.E.M. shares songwriting credits among its members, it is unknown how much he actually wrote. Berry did not drum on the song — a Univox drum machine took his place — but he was responsible for the sampling of the drum pattern on the track. The string arrangement was written by Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones.
In the liner notes of the album In Time - The Best of R.E.M. 1988-2003, Peter Buck writes that "the reason the lyrics are so atypically straightforward is because it was aimed at teenagers", and "I've never watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but the idea that high school is a portal to hell seems pretty realistic to me." Incidentally, the song was used in the 1992 film of the same name that preceded the show.
In the video for the song, directed by Jake Scott and filmed along I-10 in San Antonio, Texas, the band is stuck in a traffic jam. It shows the people in other cars and subtitles of their thoughts appear on screen. At the end, all the people leave their cars and walk instead; they then vanish.
In 1995, British emotional support listening service The Samaritans, in response to the high suicide rate but low crisis service take-up amongst young men, launched a UK press advertising campaign consisting solely of the lyrics to "Everybody Hurts" and the charity's hotline number.
The song was placed on R.E.M.'s Warner Brothers "best of" album In Time - The Best of R.E.M. 1988-2003 in 2003. It was one of four songs from Automatic for the People to make the compilation, more than from any other album.
In a 2006 poll for a Five program "Britain's Favourite Break-up Songs", "Everybody Hurts" was voted 4th.
In October 2007, MuchMoreMusic placed "Everybody Hurts" as number 5 of the Top 40 Most Memorable Music Videos on "Listed".
The song is included on R.E.M. Live.

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
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 are 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
Everybody hurts, sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes
So hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts

Todo El Mundo Sufre
Cuando el día es largo
Y la noche la noche es tuya
Cuando creas que has tenido suficiente
En esta vida
Bueno, aguanta
No te dejes ir
Porque todo el mundo llora
Y todo el mundo sufre
A veces
A veces todo está mal
Ahora es tiempo de cantar
Cuando el día es solo noche (aguanta, aguanta)
Si tienes ganas de rendirte (espera)
Si crees que has tenido demasiado
En esta vida
Bueno, aguanta
Porque todo el mundo sufre
Apóyate en tus amigos
Todo el mundo sufre
No tires la toalla
Oh, no
No tires la toalla
Si sientes que estás solo
No, no, no, no estás solo
Si estás por tu cuenta en esta vida
Los días y las noches son largas
Si crees que has tenido demasiado
En esta vida
Para ser capaz de soportarlo
Bueno, todo el mundo sufre
A veces, todo el mundo llora
Y todo el mundo sufre
A veces
Pero todo el mundo sufre
A veces
Así que aguanta
Aguanta
Aguanta
Aguanta
Aguanta
Aguanta
Aguanta
Aguanta
Todo el mundo sufre
No, no, no, no, no
No estás solo

This song helped me and my son. He was a combat medic and came home all messed up in the head and highly suicidal. Thanks to training from the VA on how to help him and THIS SONG , got him to see the light at the end of the long dark tunnel he was in!! took 8 years but now he is a RN and his specialty is mental health, he now works with teens stuck in that dark tunnel from parental abuse!
