song has reference to hiv--''Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.'' nightswimming is metaphor for sex,the song is saying that people should sleep around alot less and be careful.
''I forgot my shirt at the water's edge./The moon is low tonight.'' shirt referring to contraception and so without a moon it is dark and unsafe to swim if you get me.
''I'm not sure all these people understand.It's not like years ago,The fear of getting caught,Of recklessness and water.''-these lines need no explaning
i was looking for a song i dont remember the words just somme it started by ( my heaven my wings the angels flyy my dreams my) there is a lot of my my my.. in the song can somme one plz tell me the nam of the song
what a great idea, removing the audio track from a great all favorite REM Hit- good job , dumb bastards of WMG. But thi is not working with me, thank good there are other resources around to get what I want. by the way....I am a costumer and will not spend my money to people who force me in a certain direction.
& because of WMG & all these greedy record companies, i no longer buy cd's!! if i cannot download it , i dont hear it. never buy from these greedy idiots.
youknow.. those comapnies should bethankful that ANYONE still wants to hear anything produced by them. How many artists have managed to make a comeback just because they were seen on youtube? When are they going to learn that this sort of thing only hurts their profits?
Lovely imagery, very dreamy. Especially like the shot of the daisy going from b&w to colour, and the use of the multiple street lamps to go with the words about 2 moons side by side in orbit. Has inspired me to do some more film work!
lol. i remember those nights when we stuck in the high school pool and swam naked, only to be chased by the security guard , hardly escaping in time for the parking lot. Jobu, I am still looking for my undegarments!!! hahaha
Me too man, I remembered that nights when i was 16,17 ..first loves and beautiful summer when we was playing guitar and drinking wine ... it will never comes back but it is forever set in my heart...love R.E.M.
The song is arguably the best REM effort ever. The video shows no relationship to the song and could have been so much better. The song evokes incredible emotions. The only good thing about the video is that it isn't chopping to a new scene every two seconds.
@jjjnjr Listen to the lyriks mate the video tells the story perfectly. A night swimming deserves a quiet night. Listen to lyriks it's suprising what youget from them
@jjjnjr No Way Dude !!! This video is beautiful ! "The song evokes incredible emotions" is right, but the video is abstract in a way that complements those emotions. The scenes are memory provoking ... sunlight glinting overhead through the trees ... an empty swimming pool in winter surrounded by naked trees ...
I mean, what did you want to see ? A shirt left at the water's edge ?
We remmebr going skinny dipping in Bridlington Southside in 1975. We had been to Harbour Lights Nightclub. This was the start of a 32 year relationship, but the underpants did nothing for me; reminds us every time we hear it.!!
I wonder if this is where John Carpenter shot Stephen King's CHRISTINE ... I was in L.A. a long time ago, back in '92, when I was 20 years old. I spent most of my time in Hollywood, Burbank and the Valencia/ Santa Clarita area. I was trying to get into the film industry.
It reminds me of swiiming in the local school pool during the summer holidays, when we got chased out by the caretaker and on occasion, the law! they even dispatched the "copper chopper" on one occasion!
brilliant...
