R.E.M. - I Believe (Official Lyric Video) - VOTE 2024

Подробнее о видео

On the heels of the band's recent digital compilation We Are Hope Despite the Times, R.E.M. has released a timely lyric video for “I Believe.”, a song that originally appeared on their 1986 album Lifes Rich Pageant.

The track captures the band’s optimistic and introspective spirit, with lyrics that explore themes of personal conviction, resilience and the search for truth.

The video, created by longtime famed R.E.M. art director and fellow Athens native Chris Billheimer, draws inspiration from the handmade designs Michael Stipe used to create for himself during the Fables of the Reconstruction tour, as well as the politically themed T-shirts he wore during 1991 MTV VMAs, where the band used their acceptance speech for Best Video (“Losing My Religion”) to draw attention to causes like gun control, reproductive rights, voting rights and alternative energy sources—issues that remain relevant today.

Emphasizes R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe, “I believe the choices in this election could not be more stark or more important. Please vote and encourage everyone you know to do the same—that is how we win in 2024 and I believe we can do it!!!”
