Nightswimming, remembering that night
September’s coming soon
I’m pining for the moon
And what if there were two
Side by side in orbit
Around the fairest sun?
That bright, tight forever drum
Could not describe nightswimming
-From “Nightswimming,” by R.E.M.
REM is cool. My kids like listening to Shiny Happy People and Superman.
This is, without a doubt, my favorite REM song of all time.
It just sums up the end of summer so well and I have so many wonderful memories associated with this song.
Good pick, KTP!
God this is great song! This and ‘At My Most Beautiful’ are my faves…
