From the recording Everybody Hurts
Phat Man Dee and Corey Fisher teamed up to record this poignant and inspiring composition by R.E.M. as a means to uplift their fans and friends with the lyrical notion that:
"Sometimes everything is wrong, now it's time to sing along, when your day is night alone, if you feel like letting go, if you think you've had too much of this life, well, hang on"
- lyrics by R.E.M
Released 2020
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
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'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
