Stipe meant it

Thank you! Never knew this existed

Its pulling me apart

Best POP star this world will ever see..saw them 3times

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.

Gotta say that Mike's vocals brings an added layer of coolness to the song.

Best version ever 🙌🏼

I am the 1kth liker 🙁

I remember when I saw this video on MTV for the first time I was blown away. Got the album for Christmas that year and listened to it non stop. Amazing band.

Love love this song. I came on KZbin searching for THIS video! And couldn’t find it…so it must have been more than 15 years ago 🤭 So happy it’s here for me to enjoy 🌻

Having a likeness to Stipe and mirroring his dancing worked well for me in the 90s.

Esse vídeo é maravilhoso.

I still love this so fucking much

Crappy song.

On paper this sounds like a great project...well...you never know till you try. yikes.

I will put this song second to Pet Sounds "God Only Knows" for my generation.

Still so good. So solid.

As much as I love this song, this version is my favorite. Such a great blend of the two voices.

Mike 3rd is stable pyramidal

Georgia needs you now more than ever please hear!

Michael Stipe is a national treasure. One of the most unique voices of all time.
