RP on a roll this morning. Love this song, and it brings back great memories of "night swimming" with my college friends.

Yes, and that state would be called Dronetana. |

I always thought that Nightswimming and Find the River went great together. Maybe because I've done some night swimming in the river back home with some very good friends.

Nice to hear something from REM that doesn't get much airplay generally. They are a good band...but boy oh boy am I tired of their "hits".

someone once commented on the forums about listening to this album, with headphones, over and over, was an incredible experience... I have done it and I must say that yes, it is an incredible experience that peaks when this song is playing... just incredible! I would recommend it for anyone |

I heard Ingrid Michaelson perform a fantastic cover of this song a few months ago at the xpn cafe. An amazing rendition to an already great song!

Oh, it is quite profound, Cynaera... it is about the carefree good times of youth... looking back at the past with a little joy, and a little sadness... great song... "September is coming soon..."

Have you noticed that the people with the most over the top negative posts tend to also have the most negative ratings? I wonder if they have problems with anger management or if they are negative people in general? I don't think it's the second thing because I tend to be a negative person but I rate songs positively. They may simply be very judgmental, by that, I mean they may judge harshly something that they find is not to their liking. I suspect these folks are actually pretty decent people, but if I was accused of a crime I wouldn't want one of them as the judge or in the jury.
Nice call Peter....James If I don't like a song I rarely comment and never rate. I was raised...."if you have nothing good to say...don't say anything at all" Although that's good in general conversation,it's probably not good in a forum such as this. All I can say is that I love this format and this station. |

Engaged in night swimming all through high school summers. Sometimes with friends, but usually alone. I would look forward to it all day long while at work. There was nothing so relaxing. I made the rounds around Cincinnati; some pools were obviously easier to access than others. Four Towers Apts. was my favorite. Yes, I had a photgraph on the my dashboard of my '69 Buick Skylark.  |
