R.E.M. - Nightswimming (Live)

[bol316]

I watched that cover by Sugraland over there. Its just not the same. It lacks the feeling of the way Stipe presents it.

[frikussa]

And what if there were two

Side by side in orbit

Around the fairest sun?

[wilkester]

I wsh i could play this on the piano

[SHARINC1]

Sugarland SUCKS!!! MICHAEL STIPE IS THE BEST VOCALIST EVER!!!

WE LOVE YOU MICHAEL -3-3

[faceed68]

@SHARINC1

REM has left the Building but not our hearts and minds!!

[SuperZero1215]

Sugarland sings this song 100% better than so called "singing".

[Ebolacrash]

@SuperZero1215 lol who is sugarland?..anyone ? Bueller? ..........Bueller?....... Bueller? .... is anyone going to know who "Sugerland" is in 5 years ?...i dont even know who they are now REM going to be Remembered for generations .

P.S go suck a fat penis NASCARGUY...

[SuperZero1215]

@Ebolacrash Hey idiot, just because you don't know who sugarland is doesn't mean others don't. Also, what does NASCAR GUY mean? I hate race cars. Don't get mad because you don't know what good music is.

P.S. Grow up and stop throwing tantrums because some people don't like your kind of music.

[Ebolacrash]

@SuperZero1215 lol i bet you go to "Sugerland" show ....wearing a Sugarland shirt ....lammmmme

[drewh1979]

absolutely timeless! RIP the great REM

[lovehorrordotde]

REM might be gone, but their music ever lasts.

[Yehudittx]

what is that blue crap on his face?

[96Z24]

@Yehudittx Some guy's spunk.

[paperflower091]

RIP R.E.M

[kawi1167]

Nothing.... no one- is better than REM doing this song..... Elvis him F***king self would know better than to try.....

[VirginiaMarieRaymond]

xooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo



[ninet1990]

hey guys does anyone know a song( R.E.M) wich goes like " 'cause eeeverything, eeeverythiiing...eeeends...." I remember watching it first time on some music channel, at 2009 I think, and it was brand new.... I've searched the whole internet.... :(

[privaatsak]

@ninet1990 That's not REM. Its called 'Meet me on the Equinox' by Death Cab for Cutie a band no doubt inspired by REM!

[nosomosnarcos]

evidence of the evolution of human beings on this planet, as a voice and piano, can play every fiber of your heart, musical geniuses

[richruss123]

awsome

[NASCARGUY51139]

I like this song... But i think i like Sugarlands cover better

[ergle123]

@NASCARGUY51139 you have got to be kidding me...m. stipe and R.E.M. wrote and made this song,how can a shit musical act like sugar land be better ????

[NASCARGUY51139]

@ergle123 Well its kind of funny, because sugarland is one of the best country acts. But you probably wouldn't know that because you are a beaver, i think it is? fan... oops, bieber. Second, i'm not a fan of alotta covers... Just the ones you have to say something about... HaHa... No but seriously, its just something about Jennifer's voice that makes the song that much more beautiful. Don't get me wrong, I like this version because it is the original.

[SuperTomtom1981]

@NASCARGUY51139

sugarland sucks ass!!!! nothing compares to rem!!!!!!! don't even put them in the same class as rem please!!!!!!

[misBlueBlood]

this song can make me cry this music....

[musicResistances]

MTV playing R.E.M. ? in which planet...?

[musicResistances]

MTV playing R.E.M. , in which planet...

[teelewees]

Always makes me weep.

[DJStuHirst]

who would watch this and then click 'dislike'? A staggering tune

[puckdropper27]

This is such a hidden treasure!!

[ethermeoru]

Summers as a young adult and swimming at night in the lake with special people. One guy in particular. Oh sweet youth. This song is PERFECT. I'm in love with both Mikes.

[heightofearnestness]

I bet Big Star's 'Morpha Too' was a big influence on this, I just got a feeling plus I know Mike Mills loved them.

[endlessflash]

This song reminds me of swimming at the waterfront back in Georgia, which is what this song is about. It's awesome knowing this band came from Athens, an hour from were I live.

[Groasis74]

This song is just fantastic, mind-blowing... gives me chills every time I heard it. Michael Stipe is definitely too human for this world. Love REM.

[KarlNewsome1]

the most beautiful REM song in the catalogue. Pure poetry, love it.

[tracyhonour]

One of the best songs ever written. It gets me every time.

[nitoromantico1973]

hermosa cancion :-)

[ALK5038]

Thought to 90210 Beverly hills:"Goodbye Brandon" 9*05.I love this song =)

[funny1986]

This song replaces all the sorrow inside me and substitutes it with hope and love. Even for those who pretend to don't know me at all anymore...

[901586is]

strong song. 

[Fluggy2003]

That voice, cracked and fragile, incredible. 

[janwh40]

Cannot describe the feeling.

[eli9594]

gets to make cry. so sad, so beautiful.

[fairandpale]

One of the greatest songs ever written. At their most beautiful. Thanks so much Mike and Michael for sharing your gift.

[altevomberg]

immer wieder gut.  berührt.

[Richarddj]

oh my !! this is so brilliant.

[tobama08]

Ok...

THAT was the best video of this song by REM i have ever seen..

It even beats out the version with cold play which in itslef was a

phenomenal version... but lol youtube took it off so i thank you

for this video... how long it remains .... is a ?

[Metotrexat]

"The photograph reflects, every streetlight a reminder..." - Pure poetry!

[NASCARGUY51139]

this is a very good song... i like sugarlands cover the same.

[schwarzemadchen]

this song is about a summer night... when he and some friends swimming in a lake in the moonlight ... a night like any... but for them was very special

esta cancion me mata.. el piano de mike mills me deja suspirando

[chef82]

speechless...

[mauiman2007]

Speechless, as always.

[blizzl385]

great live act

[OGYT24]

Thanks for beautiful feeling ... great...

I can go to bed with very calmly mind.

[WoodyGallagher]

and piss the bed

[pollockdonald]

lol thats sum funny shite

[matt84german]

remids me of 90210

they played it when Jason Priestley/Brandon Walsh leaved the show!!

[81perickson]

soo.. how does rem go from an awesome song like "the end of the world" or even "losing my religion" to this depressing crap?? this shit sucks!

[purpledaisy1957]

@81perickson did you read the lyrics? sometimes it's nice to take a look at the past and remember and reflect.

[nax93200]

fuck you

[nax93200]

fuck you 81perickson

[avalancha13]

ditto on one of the best songs ever. Played it on my ipod while on the beach at night in Costa Rica. Saw REM live about 5 years ago, and that is the song i still hear in my head. Stipe is one of the best song writiers ever.

[AlesekKrcu]

Excelent

[givenright]

One of the greatest songs ever written. It makes me feel happy and sad all rolled into one, thinking of memories of days gone by.

[sadbuttrue20]

wow... best song for every time!

[ClockworkDuck]

It's a nice version but why I can't they have an oboe player for those nice solo bits instead of that tinny keyboard?

[fuckscum]

That keyboard sound makes it sound so outdated, when its not even old, plus it'd be nice to hear this song faster, like on the cd

[free322001]

This darn song touches on something pure and human.

I miss the strings of the recorded version but this live is nice too.

[sammywhip33]

I'm a college freshman and this song does make me miss high school, even though college is fun.

[mkr32208]

One of the best songs ever

[funny1986]

Phenomenal song.

[ShadyBaby29]

ah it's so gorgeous, i love it

[spyrilio]

As tears come into my eyes, I feel more human..

[GrandiosaTilFrokost]

This song is amazing! One of the most beautiful R.E.M.-songs. Epic!

[thegriggspaul]

i used to go nighswimming,on the way back from the pub..from malahide to portmarnock..around 1130pm

[scottwilks]

mygirlfriend thought this song was by sugarland ........how silly she is.... REM is amazing

[SirHayler]

I went nightswimming the other night lol.

[mic303]

you are clearly retarded

[mrmaroon1234]

it's like subjectivity never happened

[dastipe]

this is such a beautifull song.

[shady1630]

i just finished high school today. this song isnt helping me cope with my sadness :P

[jpgrace22]

hi from vancouver do you feel sad that its ended or no one is there for the begining

[IsabellaInc]

This is amazing. I love this song so deeply. I posted a video response of me doing my version of this on electric guitar. Hope you like it, and thanks for putting this up!

[myway43]

Yep... I am pretty sure they can play this at my funeral.

[IsabellaInc]

Me too, my friend. This song really speaks to my memories of adolescence.

[whitebirdie]

and on my too.... but there is a lot of songs what i like, but R.E.M. and Nightswimming.. that´s fabulous

[fenderacolyte]

automatic for the people !

[fenderacolyte]

this is one of those songs that touch you deep inside straight to your soul

[kyoto3x]

.....no tengo nada que decir

[cvalley13]

someone who understands not only the beauty of this song, but the beauty of Stipe must have done the video editing for this.

[BossFan4]

It's 4:15am and I'm suffering a bit of insomnia. What better song to bring serenity than this simplistically beautiful melody ! Mike Mills and Michael Stipe are wonderful. "Nightswimming, deserves a quiet night; I'm not sure all these people understand"...

[gpeddino]

What if I tell you that I just read your comment, looked at the clock and it is exactly 4:15am? And I feel exactly the same as you. Talk about coincidence! ahah

[SirHayler]

Wierd is 4:15 for me 2 :|

[PlanktonBouy]

I'm not a big R.E.M fan, but this song gets me every time i hear it. Amazing.

[danielccaldas]

mind-blowing

[MoJo3446]

one of my all-time favourites - top 5

[Rtre5899]

so good

[alydar224]

Wow what an amazing performance. One of the greatest song ever written, there is not a weak line in the hole song. You can imagine every line, "Deserves a quiet night" and "I'm not sure all these people understand" among the best

[tamereigh]

class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[verdantgypsy]

A moving melody...one of my favorites.

[nickiscool311]

favorite

[RoninMiro]

love it!
