I love it the lyrics are so poetic that it out very graghic images in my mind
whenever the lyric the photo graph on the dash board are sung I get this images of a car a night going through a city with tress and orange colours street lights light hitting on the photograph of a women with micheal stip singing in the divers seat and the all the colors that you see are black and orange but the skyscapers are black with very bright white lights
very peotic indeed

THE MAGIC OF THE SONG ‘ NIGHT SWIMMING” IS THAT, IT HAS CAUGHT EVERYTHING THAT IS ABOUT YOUTH, & THE MEMORIES THAT WE ARE LEFT GRASPING FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES.
THOSE MAGICAL NIGHTS OF SUMMER IN OUR YOUTH THAT GLISTENED ACROSS THE PALE LITE WAVES AS OUR HOPES & DREAMS ARE SHARED W/ THOSE AROUND US.EVEN IF THEY WERE STRANGERS, AFTER THAT MOMENT THEY WERE A DEEP PART OF OUR LIVES.
Me, too. And I don’t all-out love anything else by REM.
why not? rem are the best. they make me smile all sorts of doofy smiles.
that line about the photograph on the dashboard relfected by the passing streetlighs gets me everytime….
I don’t like stipe’s voice on that one. Too whiney. But that’s my favorite REM album.
