This song is about "nightswimming" and, of course, much more than that. The song's title is from a term used in the
southern part of the US for what other Americans call
skinny-dipping, something I haven't done for several
decades. The song is also about aging and innocence
lost I think along with the end of summer....

Ya know Tom... I've decided that this song must have only got any sort of airplay in eastern Iowa...
It's always been one of my favorite songs, and without a doubt my favorite REM song... But nobody else I know even knows it!
Thanks for bringing it back for me... I agree with Rachel about your voice on this....
