Best REM song way too fast here. Even Michael doesn't sing it with all the same power and emotion because it's too fast.

I remember my secondary school playing Nightswimming on their radio the year it came out. I didnt know who it was by but it became a precursor to me listening to a lot of REM.

I found this song on Winamp from AOL Sessions in about 2005, and yeah, same deal, a lot of REM. Like I knew Losing My Religion and Everybody Hurts, but that was just the tip of the iceberg.

As a crappy piano player I get the need to play this faster. (I dont like the guitar licks over this)
I admired her throughout high school, but the courage never came to me. I only watched her shine amongst others, and pined for her under the moon. Six years later, I returned to my hometown for a summer job. She was there. The light in her eyes was “replaced by every day” and the uncertainty of serious mental health issues. Photographs kept turning in my memory, and I recalled her understated persona, culture, and athletic glow. This time, I summoned the courage. Our time together put some of her misfortunes in reverse, and I could not describe my feelings when her fair smile returned. But “these things, they go away”, and I knew that come September, life was going to call us elsewhere. My mind and heart turned endlessly between our quiet laughter and tender moments-how can this work?? Late one evening, she took me swimming at a park that meant very different things to each of us. I floundered by the shore- “you, I thought you knew me”! She, the varsity swimmer, took fluid laps across the lake and back. She I marvelled at in the moonlight. I gathered her heartbeat into my arms; it was so strong, even, and sure-“you, I thought I knew you”!? It became clear that I could not know her, and knew not how to handle her fragility with the right strength, nor her strength with the right fragility. Quite some time after that summer, I heard “Nightswimming” for my first time. Especially when the song comes to two moons, “side by side in orbit, around the fairest sun”, I remember that time together. Ever so brightly.

Once, when I was 18, off the coast of Yugoslavia, I swam stark naked out into the Mediterranean Sea so far in the middle of the night that I couldn't see the lights on the beach. Below me was only the blackness... and the moonlight reflected in the bubbles my movements created in the water... It looked like I was wearing an elf dress.

Off that coast, (Where exactly, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia or Montenegro?) it would be the Adriatic, not the Mediterranean. A very technical geographic point but worth making.

@@spackretired Well, Mister incorrect speculation, as an Englishman who taught secondary school geography for 33 years (which is why I can confidently correct you) and has visited Italy's Adriatic coast on six occasions since 1987, I in fact do know my way around there. I am aware that it is an arm off the Mediterranean but it has a separate name, just as the Ionian Sea, Aegean and Tyrrenian do and other "arms" of the other oceans. It is therefore always referred to as the Adriatic, not the Mediterranean. It might be an idea to humbly accept an accurate correction rathe r than make assumptions that lead to more errors. Also, just for curiosity's sake, why did you assume that I am American? You might want to go back over your last few days to see how many things you have managed to get correct, as your recent error count is rising. PS It would also be a good idea to make sure that you know where you are swimming in future, so that, for instance if you ever visit Sydney and swim in the Bondi Icebergs Pool, you don't mistake it for the Pacific Ocean, even though it is clearly separately walled off.

@@spackretired No need to feel sorry for them, as, unlike you, most of them weren't too arrogant to learn from their mistakes and many of them would feel sorry for you because you don't seem able to accept an error. My last 30 years of teaching was in the same school in a small rural town where I still live. I taught the kids of kids I had previously taught,. I see former students nearly every day and I am humbled by the respect they show. I normally wouldn't bother to mention this but I feel the need to stick it up your further incorrect assumptions. During my time teaching, I was nominated for a national teaching award, so I must have been able to do the job appropriately. PS I'm not interested in a further reply of more incorrect assumptions and comments based on stereotypes from you. Just wallow in your own conceited arrogance. To end though, I'll have a shot at the sort of association your Mediterranean comment brought to mind. When you drink tea or coffee or milk or beer or cola do you refer to them as water because it is the main element in those liquids?

I don't disagree with Chris Martin that this song is amazing, except to point out that (and I don't know when this was shot, other than it was posted in August 2005) in July 2005, he said the exact same thing about The Verve's song "Bittersweet Symphony" at Live 8 London when introducing Richard Ashcroft, who was the singer for The Verve and came out to sing "Bittersweet..." with Coldplay...

I actually like the faster tempo, I think it highlights what Chris Martin has taken from the song pretty well. It makes it sound more like a Coldplay song. It also seems to put Stipe in a place where he has to rush a bit and brings an interesting, less monumental performance out of him. I prefer the original, but this version explores some new parts of the song
