Everybody Hurts
By R.E.M.

When the 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, 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)
When you think you’ve had too much of this life, well hang on.

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. 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.
Songwriters: BILL BERRY, MICHAEL STIPE, PETER BUCK, MICHAEL MILLS

I love that the avatar of the person who created this optimistic topic is a photograph of a dead Russian soldier who is frozen solid and propped up by the Finns that found him.

Lyrics:
“Half A World Away”
RPERIODEPERIODMPERIOD

This could be the saddest dusk I’ve ever seen
Turn to a miracle, high-alive
My mind is racing, as it always will
My hands tired, my heart aches
I’m half a world away here
And I had sworn to go it alone, hold it along
And haul it along and hold it
Go it alone 'n hold it along
Hold

Oh, this lonely deep and holy way
Half a world, half a world away
My shoes are gone, my life spent
I’ve had too much to drink
I didn’t think, I didn’t think of you
I guess that’s all I needed
To go it alone and hold it along
And haul it along and hold it
Go it alone 'n hold it along
Hold

Oh, this lonely world is wasted
Pathetic eyes, high-alive
Blind eye that turns to see
The storm it came up strong
It shook the trees and blew away our fear
I couldn’t leave it here
To go it alone, hold it along
Haul it along and hold it
Go it alone hold it along
Hold

Go it alone and hold it along
Haul it along 'n hold it
Blackbirds, backwards, forwards and fall
Hold

Oh, this could be the saddest dusk I’ve ever seen
Turn to a miracle, high-alive
My mind is racing, as it always will
My hands tired, my heart aches
I’m half a world away to go

“Song From MASH (Suicide Is Painless)”
Music by Johnny Mandel
Lyrics by Mike Altman

Through early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realise that I can see

That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave them if I please

The game of life is hard to play
I’m gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I’ll someday lay
So this is all I have to say

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave them if I please

The sword of time will pierce our skin
It doesn’t hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger watch it grin

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave them if I please

A brave man once requested me
To answer questions that are key
Is it to be or not to be
And I replied oh why ask me

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

And you can do the same thing if you please

It goes without saying that suicide isn’t painless. Even if you are lucky enough to do it in a manner which doesn’t hurt yourself and it can go wrong so easily, the people left behind are left with a lot a pain to deal with so… thanks lyrics.

What do you expect? It was written by a 15 year old after all. =P

I think the point is that suicide would be painless in comparison to the pain of the war. The song was also written to be comical (in context), and it does it’s job well; it just happens to be a little deeper underneath the scene.

I never found the song comical. It was much more serious than intended I think.

Lately not much…

That’s funny, I never found MAS*H funny.

But at least it’s not anime.

I always liked it, but I never liked it necessarily for its comedic value. I guess you could call it a black comedy.

Which ones are you guys talking about?

I’m talking about MASH

It’s a complicated show, and no one understands it but Alan Alda.

Yeah, I was asking which MASH. Talking about the song lyrics would imply the film was being spoken of, but I wasn’t sure which was being spoken of by Frink and yourself there. The film? The television series? The novel?

a song hmm…
Only an instrumental, its that overused motivational song that movies and TV always use, like Rocky.

TV’s Frink said:

The anime.

Oh god can you imagine big droplets appearing beside their heads when Klinger showed up in a dress? Or the weird X thing when they get mad. Or a crazy nosebleed when a pretty lady walked by? Or a five-minute shot of Hawkeye staring stoically off into the sunset in complete silence as he contemplates the horrors of war while the grass blows gently around him? Wouldn’t the show be better if they all just screamed their emotions at each other all the time?

God, MASH was shit compared to the above paragraph.
