| Loudon Wainwright III – Swimming Song Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| @[dezdenpetty:32547] Sorry it took me 6 years or so to reply. I've heard many versions of this before I searched here to see what other people thought the lyrics meant. I was thinking it was about life in general and its many challenges. We are all swimming in it after all. I am sure the artists who have covered it may also have that view. That the whole thing is about alcoholism is perhaps wide of the mark. I am sure it is about growing old and the learning curve. Each verse an aging process. Perhaps the last one is drink related but he comes out the other end successfully. That's my view. | |
