What a great memory to have immortalized forever

[@robramos1969]

The most gorgeous song ever made.

[@SindyJ37]

Absolutely. Bringing tears to my eyes

[@teresadragstream8648]

Amen.

[@Muihfdruiufffdf]

Still is in 2024

[@goncalodvd]

Wonderful rendition. This deserves a professional sound recording ... :(

[@meredith.0]

My whole body is cover in chills. REM is one of my all time favorite bands and hearing this is absolutely incredible.

[@BassPlayerSusan]

One of the few songs that makes me cry! And this version is just so beautiful.

[@jaddison1112]

"Nightswimming" .... Oh how I wish I had been in that music room at Mercer College that night ....

[@jdejesus7645]

There are no wordsto describe how I feel watching this, very emotional.... Beautiful

[@cjburch63]

One of my favorite REM songs beautifully done!

[@chmick50]

Well that was about perfect. Love the other musicians and their "clapping" at the end by slapping their legs with one hand. So much grace, beauty, and class in what can be a very loud and vulgar world.

[@bogsy3407]

Brings back good memories of my late brother. Made me emotional but i know he's happy wherever he is now. Such an awesome rendition.

[@Bluecloudprod]

It can't be that good without Michael... I say... As tears stream down my face... Lovely.

[@user-gy5yi2zf3x]

Un maravilloso homenaje a una de las canciones más emotivas de la historia de la música.

[@Smithvalleytruck]

MusicJ, hi. I was there and Mike Mills was a complete surprise to a crowd of parents and Mercer friends. Most of us were not REM followers. Also, it was a small room for Mike.

[@johnarber3358]

Enjoying this with my son in Leeds West Yorkshire.

[@BarryBriercliffe]

that was beautiful. I'm sure Micheal and Peter would have been proud of this performance aswell. Thanks for sharing the video.

[@GonzoUnglaublich]

What a wonderful piece of music. Well done!

[@Chipperoo45]

This is one of my favorite songs! You had me in tears. So beautiful. ❤

[@loganparker1541]

Absolutely wonderful piece.

[@livimarc721]

The wonder of this song is in his harmonious musical theme.Could be played endlessly. Somehow this song resembles the Bolero of Ravel : also theme that can be played endlessly. The beauty of the simplicity.Thank you for the interpretation. 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤

[@gaijinsstuff2776]

Nightswimming will always be the prettiest sounding song in the world

[@chrismchugh8225]

This is lovely, I do miss the Oboe though

[@BallawdeQuincewold]

I was there.

[@RobotGenitals]

The cellist looks remarkably like the girl who played "Saffron" on Absolutely Fabulous, does she not?!

[@evancheese4898]

Teach is sick

[@stratkitten]

"We didn't rehearse, and that falls on me..." I see what you did there...

[@stepanpapez]

The best part is the oboe... wait, oh!

[@MusicJustin15]

The audience's reaction to seeing Mike Mills attending was underwhelming.

[@teresadragstream8648]

I thought so too!!!!

[@macturner2196]

I am very sick. I am getting ready to OD on insulin. I will put this song on to listen to, while I lay down on my morphine and oxycodone, and say goodbye.

[@cuvpa1009]

I'm very sorry to hear this. Please know that you are cared about. A life of great things, and more beautiful music is ahead of you. You will find peace.

[@macturner2196]

@@cuvpa1009 I'm sick of being abused by people who are supposed to love me. I was abandonded by my mother a child. Father neglected me till I was 15, and then I was on my own. Over 20 yrs of Christmas and birthdays alone. I can get girls. But, in the end, no matter how hot, ugly, rich or poor. Most don't seem to be real people. I think most are just children, or sociopaths. All they care about is what you can do for them. I was injured years ago. Most wouldn't know it. I look muscular and tall. But, I can't stand up straight, am in horrible pain, can't reach natural REM sleep, and there's no help in sight. If I was female. I there would be a ton of govt programs to help me. especially if I was a mother. I'm just looking for dumpsters right now. It's hard to find one that's unlocked at night. I'll just OD on insulin in there, listening to this on an old phone that can't be traced. No one will notice I'm gone for a couple days. Only when my "gf" comes to see why I'm not responding to her demands, will she notice I'm not here. Then I'll just be a missing person forever. No nasty cleanup. No funeral. Not that anyone would come. I don't have family. I might do a fan meet and greet before I go. See people who liked a stupid movie I did 10 years ago. But, no one will be hurt by my disappearance. My dogs, but that is it. They can live on an old friend's farm. Her father is a vet.

[@shizw1919]

I hope you didn't do it. But if you did, I hope you've found peace in the next life. It's hellish down here

[@petersnyder1241]

Still an awesome video

[@rlfolder5437]

Did they even know who Mills was? They barely clapped for him.

[@TheTarget1980]

Skip to 1,34 to save lifetime. Impossible to hear it in loop, because of this senseless beginning.

[@Kalle72]

The first 1 min 30 secs was pretty pointless - should have been edited out. But the performance, of course, was good.

[@evrik78]

Extremely LONG AND BORING INTRODUCTION. Action begins at 01:34...

[@carandbikelife6416]

3rik R Vargas they are American's....what else would you expect? 😂

[@pickettmandi]

Adele Buckley those Americans wrote the song. What would you expect?

[@MrTalklikeapirate]

3rik R Vargas Yeah I was like "errrrr......today!"

[@lornastgeorge]

Thanks foe this gift, Maury!

[@nedohamilli]

horrendously boring
