@StinkiwinkiPoo As far as I know the sea doesn't reach Athens, Georgia where the band formed. It's about R.E.M.'s circle of friends back when they were at uni, they would go out to these natural pools out of town and swim after a party
"It would be a lie to paint 31 years of trying to do this incredibly difficult thing with these other people as anything but everything-- it was everything," -Michael Stipe
"Everybody Hurts" got all the airplay from the AUTOMATIC FOR THE PEOPLE album, but from my point of view "Nightswimming" is a superior song. The best ballad by a group that had several outstanding songs in a variety of styles.
@MyDadIsWhatillNeverB so much better i imagine, with every passing year kids lose more freedoms to be innocent, more & more avenues for fun/freedom are being shut down, i feel bad for u kids now a days.
Out here in the country 'Nightswimming' is called skinny dipping: "the fear of getting caught...You can not see me naked" I've never understood why, since I am made in the image and likeness of God, being publically naked is wrong? I love the song and skinny dipping...I hope youns get to be naked swimming with friends. PEACE.
The first images at the start of the vid make it look as if it's a painting of René Magritte...very poetic...Night swimming...I often did this butt nekkid, when I was young with my buddies...love this song very much...brings back many good memories.
Played on repeat for hours....and hours...and hours.

I truly wish Michael the very best at everything. I don't know why but he looks so sad all the time. I feel so sorry for him.

Turned around backwards so the windshield shows
Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse
