Question Do any of you realize how beautiful Nightswimming by REM is?

I mean, come on. It's fucking ridiculous.

it really is a pretty song

because it's sandwiched between two of R.E.M.'s best songs ever, "Man on the Moon" and "Find the River", though, the impact for me is lessened whenever i listen to AFTP

oh i ate at the "Automatic for the People" restaurant the other day...it was quite good...green beans and chicken fingers and rice and gravy...yum!

i also popped in "Document" the other night for the first time in about a year...wow what political album..."Exhuming McCarthy" and "Disturbance at the Heron House" stood out for me

Nightswimming is an amazing tune. Nuff said.

Man on the Moon-->Nightswimming-->Find the River might be the best three-song sequence to end a rock album. If it's not, at the very least, I can't think of anything prettier.

It's my second favorit R.E.M. song behind "Find the River" - that whole album is great.

Yes, yes, yes, yes

Best three song sequence, like, ever. Three of my favorite REM songs, with "Find the River" being my all time favorite. It's just so...ahhhhhh.
