where can i find the instrumental version of REM's song night swimming?

If you really want the high quality version of the song, you'll need to purchase it...

iTunes has a really great string quartet version by the Vitamin String Quartet.

Here's midi versions with singing... the arrangements are better then the non-singing one, but the fake singing is a little annoying. If you have a midi editing program you can take out the midi singing.
