Vetiver - The Swimming Song Lyrics
This summer I went swimming
This summer I might have drowned
But I held my breath, I kicked my feet
Moved my arms around
I moved my arms around
This summer I swam in the ocean
And I swam in a swimming pool
Salt my wounds, chlorine'd my eyes
I'm a self-destructive fool
Self-destructive fool
This summer I did the back stroke
And you know that that's not all
I did the breast stroke, the butterfly
And the old Australian crawl
This summer I swam in a public place
And a reservoir to boot
At the latter I was informal
At the former I wore my suit
I wore my swimming suit
Oh, this summer I did swan dives
And jack-knives for you all
And once when you weren't looking
I did a cannon-ball
I did a cannon-ball
This summer I went swimming
This summer I might have drowned
But I held my breath, I kicked my feet
And moved my arms around
I moved my arms around

Vetiver The Swimming Song Comments
please keep your song of the day coming!
Ya mismo voy a andar en mi longboard
lovely song 😭
Awesome, I never knew the Earl Scruggs version was a cover! This perfect
Ok so actually this is a Loudon Wainwright III song, which was then covered by Vetiver and Earl Scruggs (With Loundon back on vocals).
PINTAIL !
sooo geilll
Summer 2016!
17 people dont know how to swim
18 now. everyday another person doesnt learn to swim. for just .99 a day you can prevent this
Parenthood brought me here 4 years ago.... And I keep coming back
makes me want to ride my Pintail just think about it
This is rad
AM HAPPY supports this summer jam.
Ah short and sweet
this summer i went swimming
original skateboards brought me here
Hahaha yeah me too! it fits the longboard video so well!
best song ever
My taste of music brought me here.
original skateboards brought me here
loudon has a massive back catalogue check him out. the acid song is kind of similar.
or try the hedgehog song by the old rope string band
Mad song
i like it's.
i think it means that wherever you go during the summer (or any other time), you're bound to have fun
this song takes me back to camp last July! gonna miss camp :(
Does anyone know the meaning of this song? Like I have my own idea I just wanna hear others!
The Canadian group called The Great Lake Swimmers...
gret song with mp3 with longboard and downhill
Muito bom!!!!
Thank you! :D
nice profile picture the velvet underground :)
Umad douchefag?
burn. in. hell.
Loudon Wainwright III
very cool but who is the true singer
longboards are fucking gay
Anybody else goin boardin today? Think I might bomb a hill or 2
Yeah, Loudon Wainwright III, who wrote the song.
this song is the best to skate to! so chilled when your cruising down a nice hill.. cant beat that feeling. THUBMS UP FOR LONGBOARDERS!!
This is a cover, but it is a great cover at that
I love dubstep and this. Putting down one style of music is not the way to promote another.
Buxton has an album called Nothing Here Seems Strange, check that out
Its realy inspire me about longboarding,
Or Loudon Waingwright III, who originally did this song (and it's an almost perfect copy of his version.)
Damn now i just have to go longboard. Thanks to whoever is in charge of the weather, god maybe, that today is a damn sunny day :D
im trying to... :(
Man this gives me a really bad urge to longboard :)
felice brothers
Try the Avett Brothers, Tallest Man on Earth
i love this song! can anyone recommend anything thats similar to this?
Im guessing Longboard Pintails brought everyone here :)
longboarding ftw
what can i say? i like it!
new hero, this guy.
if this would be popular it would become mainstream, that would completely ruin it :)
This stuff should be popular, not dubstep.
isn't it funny how pintails video has 7 million views and this song only has 90 thousand views
So chill and peaceful
Original Longboards the best ;)
Check out Kate and Anna McGarrigle's version of this song. It was written by Kate's ex, Loudon Wainwright III. I'll bet that's where Vetiver learned it. I'd never heard of Vetiver before, but if this is typical, I'd like to hear more.
longboarding is fun and this song is so chill.
Umm, I stereo board...? :D
Like this if the Longboard Pintails video brought you here but you can't do any o that, basically you wanna try longboarding pronto <3
thumbs up if you found this without longboarding pintails.
longard pintails i <3 u for bringing me here
@musicfreeko ahahahah :D My sister longboards and she hates lil wayne ahahah :D
THUMBS UP IF U LONGBOARD
Is it me, or is this song wayyy to short?
how the hell did i get here??? i don't long board!!! I dirt bike!!! wtf!
THUMBS UP IF U LONGBOARD
this summer i went swimming and i was pretty high
@chickennugget882 Ikr i got one because of this song and that video
i found a girl who longboards and hates lil wayne.
i'm going to marry her.
ORIGINAL SKATEBOARDS HAVE SO AWESOME SONGS !!! DAMN :)))) :D
Hah I can see the video only by listening to this song.
I met the dude that sang this :D
ORIGINAL<3
Ian Joe Dutch sent me here
Never mind, they covered it, and Thing Of The Past is all cover songs. Just seems like they were too faithful to the original version, instead of adding their own twist to it.
This is a Loudon Wainwright III song, and the vocals sound like a younger Loudon. If this is really Vetiver in fact, they just copied Loudon.
*listened to song*
*Downloaded*
*Added to "longboarding" playlist*
who else just watched Longboard Pintails
longboarding rules, thanks orignal for showing me this song lol
THE best summer song ever <3 All my friends got longboards too! Wait. What am I doing inside, PEACE <3

@allgenresguitarguy i ate it today.. longboard is so fun.. even if without this music.. i stand up with a smile lol
@chickennugget882 u wont regret it.. lol.. even if u fall
@beckypics lol
Longboarding is the most freeing thing i have ever expierenced. <3 simply said, if you don't longboard, i don't see why. It feels like flying.
@allgenresguitarguy Amen
i ate it yesterday on my longboard while listening to my ipod.... hurt myself bad but this song came on and i jumped up and got right back to cruising. this song just makes u feel good and want to longboard!
i grab my pintail, ipod and jam this song as i cruz down the road<3
