Losing my religion

---

Background
"Losing My Religion" is an expression from the southern region of the United States, and means losing one's temper or civility, or "flying off the handle". The song itself was described by singer and lyricist Michael Stipe as covering similar thematic ground to "Every Breath You Take" by The Police, and is, despite the title and the video, entirely irreligious in its subject matter. He has also stated that the song was inspired by the Sinead O'Connor song "The Emperor's New Clothes".
Although becoming the biggest hit for the band in the U.S., peaking at #4, it became a minor hit in the United Kingdom, where it charted at #19 on the UK Singles Chart despite having had a lot of airplay. "Losing My Religion" still receives considerable air time and is possibly the best-known R.E.M. song. It won the 1991 Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.
The song was placed on R.E.M.'s Warner Bros. compilation album In Time: The Best of R.E.M. 1988-2003 in 2003. It was the only song from Out of Time to get onto the album, as the band left out the worldwide top ten hit "Shiny Happy People", amongst other songs. In November 2004, Rolling Stone magazine listed the song at #169 on its list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".
当年刚来到美国的时候最喜欢的歌.自己边上学边打工,那时也失去了信仰. 在餐馆常 唱这首歌的Karaoke.
以此纪念那些逝去的日子.
