Al Green’s Cover of R.E.M.’s “Everybody Hurts”

Al Green released a soulful cover of R.E.M’s “Everybody Hurts,” and it whips.

Of the song, Green said:

“I could really feel the heaviness of the song, and I wanted to inject a little touch of hope and light into it. There’s always a presence of light that can break through those times of darkness.”

Last year, Green released a version of Lou Reed’s “Perfect Day.” (via @allyourscreens.bsky.social)
