Radiohead - Page 565

I think it's dark and he is looking for some comfort in this inconsolable world. Look at the artwork . Everything's been erased and there must be something you can cling onto. And radiohead have always matched the sound with the lyrics. Just how i see it myself, obviously. And true there's some hope, there's always got to be some hope, what would it all be worth then. could be all nonsense what Im trying to say here but oh, well.. But yeha we gotta see some light at the end of the tunnel to go through it all. and we need sometimes something that gets our minds away from it for a while so we can handle it all. hehe so it's not ALL dark. but it's dark.

and I do understand what you mean with the whole lp8 thing, because In Rainbows has got it's darkness too. You just can't shut it away permanently as much as it would make you feel better.

lailalai

I cut it now.

well, BINGO! yes, i agree with what you're saying about The Eraser. and that's what i think In Rainbows is all about... finding your center when the whole world spins out of control...love as defiance in the face of annihilation. immerse your soul in love.

That's one of the first things I did... got up at about 5 to download it, burt a cd, and went back to bed to listen to it...

It's gotta be my favorite one to listen to half asleep... the lyrics fade away and there's something about the way all the music works together... you can just get completly lost in this world it creates.

Thats the point and not Amnesiac which blows goats

Rad-Cold · 25-10-2007, 11:07 AM

blows goats?!

you must be an idiot..or you would like the album

Famous Old Painter · 25-10-2007, 01:33 PM

I'll probably be beaten to death for this comment but I cant handle Amnesiac. Kid A is ok but I tried listening to Amnesiac today and I couldn't make it to the end. So I put on The Bends... again. I'm addicted to that album right now

actually not always......Killer Cars, Let Down, No Surprises, Go To Sleep, etc...the music contrasting the lyrics, and there's a lot of that on In Rainbows as well...while the sound is uplifting, lyrically that's not always the case. take 15 step for example, don't you just wanna get up and dance to it?

but the song is about rejection, isn't it? what about Nude, where that angelic voice croons sweetly informing us that we're all going to hell for what our dirty minds are thinking.

or the beginning of Arpeggi...sounds almost happy?...
In Rainbows overall sounds very bright and sunny and even blissful at times, but lyrically it's not all rainbows and unicorns, obviously.

I agree with you.

But this gives me an idea for a pointless poll

Jpw48 · 25-10-2007, 08:14 PM

Oh god, He's got an idea! Stand back!

Cirrus Minor · 25-10-2007, 08:49 PM

I love Amnesiac : it's almost becoming my favourit RH album, ex aequo with OKC. What's sure is : I like it a lot better than Kid A.

Done by! Gum by! In a cave in the hills he dwelt alone, And meat was hard to come by. Up came Tom with his big boots on. Said he to Troll: 'Pray, what is yon? For it looks like the shin o' my nuncle Tim, As should be a-lyin' in graveyard. Caveyard! Paveyard! This many a year has Tim been gone, And I thought he were lyin' in graveyard.' 'My lad,' said Troll, 'this bone I stole. But what be bones that lie in a hole? Thy nuncle was dead as a lump o' lead, Afore I found his shinbone. Tinbone! Thinbone! He can spare a share for a poor old troll, For he don't need his shinbone.' Said Tom: 'I don't see why the likes o' thee Without axin' leave should go makin' free With the shank or the shin o' my father's kin; So hand the old bone over! Rover! Trover! Though dead he be, it belongs to he; So hand the old bone over!' 'For a couple o' pins,' says Troll, and grins, 'I'll eat thee too, and gnaw thy shins. A bit o' fresh meat will go down sweet! I'll try my teeth on thee now. Hee now! See now! I'm tired o' gnawing old bones and skins; I've a mind to dine on thee now.' But just as he thought his dinner was caught, He found his hands had hold of naught. Before he could mind, Tom slipped behind And gave him the boot to larn him. Warn him! Darn him! A bump o' the boot on the seat, Tom thought, Would be the way to larn him. But harder than stone is the flesh and bone Of a troll that sits in the hills alone. As well set your boot to the mountain's root, For the seat of a troll don't feel it. Peel it! Heal it! Old Troll laughed, when he heard Tom groan, And he knew his toes could feel it. Tom's leg is game, since home he came, And his bootless foot is lasting lame; But Troll don't care, and he's still there With the bone he boned from its owner. Doner! Boner! Troll's old seat is still the same, And the bone he boned from its owner!" Albums of the Year 2011 - Vote Here!
