    I was diagnosed with cancer. She left when I began chemo. I went through it alone and maintained positive.
    This song saved my life.

    ..... I listen to the chorus of this song and I am fervently drawn to one of those rare instances in the labor of the human existence that enables us to open fully the swelling, tragic and beautiful pathway into that crystalline perfection of pure emotional warmth and the tearful, utter and purest expressions of both love and pain we as a species are capable of.
    I am so, so glad that music affects me this way, and I truly hope it does for everyone as well.

    I've always been fascinated with this song and I can't say how many times I've listened trying to figure out why. First it's a very unconventional song the evokes deep emotion (which I've always expected from Radiohead). 3 movements...In my opinion the drums (primarily) also bass and vocals control the song until 2:30. Prior to that guitar notes are dropping like rain in something of organized chaos. There's a shift at 2:30 where the lone guitar comes then things get pretty electronic in the same organized chaos that has continued throughout. At 3:42 is the first time things get remotely conventional but it's really just all the elements finally synching at which point the vocals really hammer it home. Just one mans opinion and I have no real musical background to aid me with a proper description but 15 years later and I still can't listen to it just once. I don't see that changing anytime soon.

      You made a technical music analysis, but the power of this song is not only the frequency of vibration of the instruments, but the lyrics also. It's a master combination speaking to your soul. Most of Radiohead song's lyric speak about the pain of have to stay in third dimension ...

    To everyone insulting Nirvana:
    Nirvana was one of the bands that influenced Radiohead the most. Nirvana's Nevermind (1991) deeply influenced Radiohead's Pablo Honey and The Bends (1993 & 1995). You must be really stupid to insult Nirvana when you do not know how important Nirvana was for Radiohead's earlier works.

    • @vb2388
      @vb2388 9 років тому +3

      Nirvana were much more influential than Radiohead..

    • @lukomundo
      @lukomundo 9 років тому +8

      nirvana couldn't even get close to Radiohead's later music. Nirvanas music was formulaic and pretty simplistic. When you listen to the album in rainbows the music in it is class, there is no formula and loads of depth, Its just a whole new experience each time you listen to it.

    • @cesarmetlich4883
      @cesarmetlich4883 9 років тому +3

      +lukomundo Nirvana's songs do have a simple structure, but the lyrics are just as deep as Radiohead's songs. In fact, the beauty of grunge comes from the song's simplicity. Radiohead's later music is not as good as their earlier music (The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A). In Rainbows was great, but Amnesiac, Hail to the Thief and The King of Limbs were just ok. OK Computer, regarded as Radiohead's best album, still can't compete against Nevermind. There is still no Radiohead album that can, reallly...

    • @lukomundo
      @lukomundo 9 років тому +2

      +Cesar Metlich well I guess that is where we disagree, I think nirvana have a more aggressive style that is pretty incomparable, you can't really compare a song like reckoner to a song like in bloom, I was just stating that radioheads style is a lot more complex and the words more profound.

    This song could apply to drugs and the enevitable comedown and long years of hellish addiction.
    I know it's about fallen relationships and pain mainly.
    Thom Yorke writes some of the saddest/emotional lyrics but many songs have upbeat/progressive melodies that balances the lyrical messages like no other band on the planet. Shout out to Linkin Park too!

      Outstanding imaginative vocabulary, imagery and melodies. Sometimes, lyrics almost convince me of 'spiritual' assistance or channeling. Almost perfect, seemingly effortless and ingenious, gloriously, and beautifully delivered with vocals used like an instrument. Id believe it if told other 'forces' gave assistance. Freddie Mercury and Florence also. Think Enya, Kate bush also, mesmerizing enchanting and mystical. This whole song is as close to perfection as it gets. THIS,is Brit pop at its best. Haunting melancholic and harmonic, still doesn't do it justice. Bravo Thom. 👩‍🎤🧙

      Maybe it is, however, as a matter of input, in the official video, he is visiting his girlfriend at the cemetery, and he is ready to kill himself after writing a letter. The spirit of her stops him of doing it, and the end of the video is a fast reverse action of all what he did (driving to the cemetery, writing the letter, etc). That's why the words "One day I am going to grow wings" and then "Let down and hanging around, crushed like a bug into he ground" because he realizes, it is not his time to go yet. Most of Radiohead song lyrics speak about the pain of have to stay here in the third dimension ...
