Nightswimming deserves a quiet night

by uwmryan on 07. Apr, 2009 in News, Video

If you’ve gotten mix CD’s from me over the years, I’d bet this song made at least one of them. I’ve never sat down and written out or given much thought of my all-time favorite songs, but if I did this song would have a place near the top. Good summer nights walking home, slightly buzzed, warmth in the air, this song soundtracks memories – lots of em. I’m ready for you summer.

    Automatic for the People is canon, as far as I’m concerned.

    Thanks, Ryan. This is one of my favorites, too. And you described its place in the mind perfectly.

    I had to pop in Automatic for the People after watching this. Such a wonderful album.
