#365songs (67 / 365)

Certainly one of the most gorgeous R.E.M. songs, maybe one of the most gorgeous songs period. To be perfectly honest, I wore "Nightswimming" out a little bit, but god I loved this song for a really long time. The piano line is simple but captures the nostalgic feel of the lyric perfectly; Michael Stipe's voice is maybe as earnest as it's ever been and so, so sweet.
