September Yellow
September Yellow
O setembro amarelo começou nos Estados Unidos, quando um estudante de 17 anos chamado Mike Emme cometeu suicídio, em 1994. O jovem era conhecido por suas habilidades com mecânica. A cor amarela foi escolhida em homenagem ao Mustang 68 restaurado e pintado de amarelo por Emme.
“Everybody Hurts” é uma canção que integra o álbum Automatic for the People (1992), do R.E.M., e que foi lançada como o quarto single desse trabalho no dia 5 de abril de 1993, há 30 anos cravados.
O videoclipe – que acompanhou o lançamento do single – mostra os integrantes da banda Michael Stipe, Mike Mills, Peter Buck e Bill Berry, presos no trânsito, enquanto as pessoas nos carros ao seu redor têm seus tristes pensamentos legendados.
A música se transformou em um clássico da era de ouro da MTV dos anos 1990 por conta desse incrível clipe, dirigido por Jake Scott, filho do renomado cineasta Ridley Scott, que realizou filmagens em novembro de 1992 no centro de San Antonio, no Texas.
A canção se conectou com pessoas ao redor do mundo ao mostrar que todos nós somos atingidos pelas angústias da vida, e isso é algo normal. Ela ficou conhecida por mexer com as emoções de quem a escuta. Por mais que tenha uma melodia triste e um andamento lento, sua letra é de incentivo, tem o objetivo de inspirar a viver, superar a tristeza, buscar motivos para ser feliz.
Everybody Hurts” foi utilizada em diversas companhas contra o suicídio ao redor do mundo por sua letra de esperança em um mundo de desespero. Sua mensagem é direta: “Quando você tem certeza de que já se cansou desta vida. Bem, aguente firme. Não desista de si mesmo, porque todo mundo chora e todo mundo sofre”.
When your 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
'Cause everybody cries
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)
If you think you've had too much
Of this life, well hang on
'Cause 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
Everybody hurts, sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes
So hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts
When your 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
'Cause everybody cries
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)
If you think you've had too much
Of this life, well hang on
'Cause 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
