Everybody Hurts

[drscott]

sfbear79 posted this link to short bios of some Golden Gate suicides. I was sobbing after getting through about two of them. So sad, especially if you can remember having an urge in that direction.

Which prompted me to dig up the old R.E.M. video of "Everybody Hurts." [warning: the video starts with an inappropriate advert]

Thanks for sharing that. I'm not surprised the Golden Gate is a popular place for suicides and after reading some of the bios, they made me think. The people seemed to be doing great, but as you read, you see some signs things aren't as they seem, and they just go and do just that, jump of the bridge.

While I've never actually thought of suicide in any great way, I've had a couple of fleeting moments where the thought did come about.

I'm very well familiar with the REM song, but never had seen the video. Thanks for sharing it.

I like that song, but just like the whole album btw.
