What you are seeing here is footage from Judie's concert at the Lewisham Theatre, London on 4th October 1992, however that is not what you are hearing. What you are hearing is the studio-recorded version of this song, as released on the 1992 album "Wonderland". The original live audio track was of poor quality, and I discovered that the album track would fit almost perfectly in its place; all I had to do was speed up the footage a bit towards the end of the song. I am not aware of any other footage of Judie performing this song, and I think this song deserves to have a video made for it. This footage was filmed by someone in the second row with a camcorder, and was uploaded to the YouTube channel "barrieflix" on March 8, 2018. Here is the link: [ Ссылка ]
That video upload features most of the concert, so I have simply taken the performance of this one song from it. It did not include the very beginning of the song, and the way the live version ended was different than the ending of the studio version, so to accompany those parts of the track I have put up on screen some pictures of the Wonderland album. I have also upscaled the resolution from 480p to 1080p, as this increases the bitrate, which slightly improves picture quality at all the different resolution settings the viewer can select, but please be aware that playing it at the 1080p setting is not going to make it look as good as a true 1080p video. I have also added optional subtitles for the lyrics.

This song was written by Judie Tzuke and Mike Paxman. This track was produced by Mike Paxman and Paul Muggleton, and was released in 1992. Here are the recording personnel according to the liner notes of the Wonderland album, as presented on the Discogs website:

LYRICS

"Swimming"

- Judie Tzuke

(Words and Music by Judie Tzuke and Mike Paxman)

I put myself aside a private place to fall
But when I stepped on it
It wasn't there at all
I thought I knew how low I could afford to drop
I know I've been through that
I couldn't seem to stop

But I'm still swimming
And I'm lost in some big ocean
I am swimming
Though I'm wounded, I'm not broken
Swimming
When will the boat come for me?
I'm so tired of swimming

When you look at me
I know you feel the pain
And then it goes away
And I feel strong again
How many disappointments can I take
Till I reach the end of the dream and I awake?

Will I be swimming?
Lost in some big ocean
I am swimming
Though I'm wounded, I'm not broken
Swimming
When will the boat come for me?
I'm so tired of swimming

[Break]

As a child I always loved the water
It was the only place to be

Swimming
Lost in some big ocean
I am swimming
Though I'm wounded, I'm not broken
Swimming
When will the boat come for me?
I'm so tired of swimming

Swimming
And I'm lost in some big ocean
I am swimming
Though I'm wounded, I'm not broken
Swimming
When will the boat come? (I'm so tired of swimming)

Swimming
(Ooh)
Swimming
(Ooh)
Swimming
I'm so tired of swimming
