Nightswimming @ Jools Holland

[ONDERON101]

this is the definitive version, utterly amazing

[HarvsPenzance]

Michael Stipe has a unique voice, don't you think? He could sing a shopping list and have you riveted. Brilliant

[democrategirl]

Michael is so sweet.

September's coming soon it's 11:26 p.m. I think I'll go jump in the river.....

One Word: Beautiful

[Kalnapils]

I agree with you scrapkook. Actually, I got a t-shirt made with that print some years ago... :-)

[scrapkook]

This version is even better than the album version, like it slowed down like this.

And on a shallow note, I want a t-shirt like Michael Stipe's!  Wonder where he got it. :)

[bigirishtube]

So much better than paying money to see these crap performers great music live

[cogs22]

the way mick looks at buck towards the end of the song, you just know that he loves him for what he does and the music..

[seanfunk1]

Michael looks at Mike (Mills). Buck (Peter) is the guitarist.

[scottlad1987]

Met Michael Stipe back stage in manchester. He is the nicest celeb i have every met. Well up for a chat.

[bananas5mac]

Really? you are lucky he is so talented in writing and singing and nightswimming reflects that alot!

[4eyesbeckett]

without doubt a great live singer true song writer to . . from the heart

[gingepianoman1989]

easily my favourite REM song - love it. Thanks for the post

[UNDIESRULES]

Wonderful version of a wonderful song.

[willis26311]

i love the emotion. obviously, a beautiful memory.

[clivetemple]

One of the great American songs.

[dailyanthem]

Dec 17, 1977 - Mike Mills is born in Orange County, California....

From the Daily Anthem

[lardycake70]

except of course that should be 1958.....nice job!!

[saggiehead]

This is probably my fave REM song :)

This made me cry..

As kids me and my friends used to break into outdoor swimming pools in the compound we lived in in Saudi Arabia and I would float in the pool listening to this track..... ah beautifull memories :)

I'm still in love with Michael xx

[easypeesyjapanese]

Hey, great post: I've no idea who you are but in this world of the salty and sardonic it's good to see actual emotion in a message.

[saggiehead]

:) Thanks, virtual hug to ya!

[ellamennop]

as great as the performance was, i think i liked it even more when michael was just leaning on the piano watching mike, that was touching

[rpupkin77]

This album was their high point, it is brilliant.

[Barsanulphe]

Un grand merci à REM pour les doux rêves qu'ils nous offrent.

[stipey1888]

watching them perform such a hauntingly beautiful tune is the best

[MrPink0088]

This is great. Not as great as the recording. The cello makes the song. BUt definitely this is great

[mervotheperv]

where's Berry and Buck?

[PaulJHancock]

These guys arent good, they are great. perfect music
