night swimming

"night swimming" is the fourth track off of Soccer Mommy's studio album "color theory". "With this song, I wanted to grab that sense of laziness and haze that comes from these weird drones. It pulls from multiple relationships, romantic and non-romantic, reiterating this sense of loneliness and separation. There’s a sample of people walking around a busy street that comes in at certain parts, which makes the song feel all the more lonely: There could be these people around you, the bustling of the world, and you’re just alone still." — Soccer Mommy, Pitchfork "‘night swimming’ is one I wrote at home. I wrote it pretty early on and when I hadn’t written a lot of songs. I wasn’t sure how it was going to fit in, because it felt very different―softer and more gentle than a lot of the stuff I was writing. But as I started to write more songs, it emerged as the end of what is now the blue section. The themes that are in this song are very similar to things that are going on throughout the album. I think at the core of it, this song is about loneliness and about feeling like there’s always a distance between you and other people." –via Apple Music Read more on Last.fm.
