[ Antonio's Remark ]

A beautiful track with lyrics that cut deep. Melodically it's frankly a bit repetitive but from all the other aspects it's just flawless. Should've been a bit lower but I'll take this placement.

@Eclipsa (11)

"I can´t even explain this song. When I listen to this song, I feel out of this world, I just stop thinking and functioning. Her vocals are so soft and the melody just makes it all better. It may be exaggerated, but this song is something that will never be done again. For real, no song had that kind of effect in me, and no song can replicate that feeling again. Ever."

@DontDoubtDavid (11)

"Best song on the album. There’s something about it that makes me feel calm and reminds me of my childhood."

@juju (10)

"One of the more underrated tracks from the album, Swim has always hit very close to home to me and my outlook upon the world. It's a mature song, one that borrows from 90s tropes, but makes them all its own. The chorus hits like a tidal wave each and every time, and I love the song more than I did when it was first released two decades ago. It really is poetic genius."

@TheShameMonster (10)

"Has a very spiritual tone to it which is highlighted by the amazing lyrics that are pretty reflective of our mad society. The understated guitars also make the track. Definitely one of the best on the album."

@Maleficent (10)

"Another favourite; the political message is subtle, yet on point."

@Johny Wayne (9.25)

"I don’t know what it is about this song but I just love it. Maybe I’m the only one who hears it, but when she sings “Crash to the other shore/Swim to the ocean floor” I always hear it like “Ooh, you've got to/Let your body move to the music/Ooh, you've got to just/Let your body go with the flow”. Any song whose melody remotely reminds me of Vogue has to be a song that I love. The lyrics are once again brilliant about cleaning up the mess we’ve made as a society and starting again from scratch. “Swim to the ocean floor” as in going back in evolution to when we were unicelular beings (I know that when she wrote it, she probably just meant it like escaping from society, but I prefer to interpret it this way). Orbit obviously nails the production and sends you to such a peaceful and relaxed state of mind, it really take takes me to a desert beach where life doesn’t feel like it’s a curse."

@shoful (9)

"Madonna talks about the negativity and wrong-doing of what was going on in the world. All these sins so heavy that they will make us crash to the ocean floor. A song that is very much influenced in her change of heart and her thoughts on how the world will have to change to survive."

@monsterdino (9)

"As the title suggests 'Swim', this song is about moving on. We all make mistakes or "sins" and we can only learn from them and move on and keep living and swim away from all the things that are dragging us down. The thing that I love about this album that is full of water imegary, but this track in particular is doing that more than the others and it doesn't only bring the "water" imegary just on the lyrics or title, but on the instrumental as well and not just on the intro (where we can hear ocean waves) but troughout the song too with the flute and the beats wich I think is very smart and well thought out."

@Sam Dey (9)

"This song is one of the more upbeat/rock songs of the album. To me this song is about evolving and moving on. This is a perfect example of an amazingly written and produced psychedelic rock song. I love that she uses such brilliant metaphors in this song."

@DeanWinchester (9)

"This melds so beautifully with the first track, one could think they may be just one long song. Not that it's a bad thing. This is one of Madonna's most cohesive albums after all. Most albums can't keep listeners occupied with slow tempo songs after the other but this does it so well. Madonna's "mmmhmmm"s are highlights for me."

@Thomas P (9)

"I love this song so much cuz it's a mix of so many different styles that I absolutely adore."

@KING ELIZABITCH (8.8)

"Supple and evocative vocals over another spiritual bop. This is the definition of indie pop. Another way paved by the Queen of Pop."

@LoisLilMonster (8.5)

"This song is great. The intro alone is just so good and it gets more and more catchy until that flawless 'Let the water wash over you, wash it all over you'. There's nothing else I can say (Eh,eh)"

@Antichrist (8)

"not a song i'd usually listen to, though i must say I ADORE her vocals when she sings the chorus, and the lyrics, as expected on this album, are perfection!"

@MAC (8)

"Nice chill song.  Love the lyrics."

@MonsterJames333 (8)

"A strong mature midtempo message song, Swim is an urgent call to go outside the realms of this dirty world and crash, together, in unity. The beat gets tight and the "mmmmm" refrain, a constant throughout the album, gets stuck in the head fast."

@Uncle ARTPOP (6)

"I appreciate it but for me the song does not age well. It's very twangy and 90s. Its redeeming quality is the lyrics."

MESS lol I always took the lyrics of Inside of Me to also be about her mother, not sex  

Re-read them with that sentiment and it's a better song imo
