"Everybody Hurts" is a song by American rock band R.E.M. from their eighth studio album, Automatic for the People (1992), and released as a single in April 1993 by Warner Bros. Records. It peaked at number 29 on the US Billboard Hot 100 , but fared much better on the US Cash Box Top 100 , where it peaked at number 18.
Stipe referred to the lyrics in the chorus of "Sitting Still" from R.E.M.'s debut album, Murmur, "nonsense", saying in a 1994 online chat, "You all know there aren't words, per se, to a lot of the early stuff. I can't even remember them." In truth, Stipe carefully crafted the lyrics to many early R.E.M. songs.
"Song by song [...] the whole album is referencing the 1970s," recalls Stipe. "Everybody Hurts" was inspired by Nazareth's cover of "Love Hurts". "Drive" was an homage to David Essex and "Rock On", especially that song's early glam rock production style. [30]
"This track just really got hold of me — took hold of me,” recalls director Jake Scott, who at age 27 was still trying to make "that one video when you knock it out of the park."
The title itself is derived from Stipe and R.E.M.'s support for what would eventually become the "Motor Voter Bill" and the lyric "Hey, kids, rock 'n' roll" is an homage to the song "Stop It" by fellow Athens, Georgia, group Pylon; Stipe has also said the song is an "obvious homage to 'Rock On' by David Essex," which features a similar line.
