Whereas OK could be qualified as "space-rock" lol..look at me trying to describe Radiohead...OK's more like headbangin, fun tunes...
i mean this song and video are open to interpretations and ive seen some crazy interpretations about it having political meanings and references to the world war??? Mm everyone is entitlted to their opinion but i just think hes talking about what goes on in someone's mind when they are sleep deprived... and i dont think anyone whos posted these comments really know what insomnia does to you.
I see a different interpretation, though very close to Griffith. imagine to fast forward a video taken on a street in a city. You watch how the old ways (represented by the old buildings) crumble and a new order is built from/upon them (new buildings at the end). And though the world changes, the people don't. They behave the same way as before. And the rose. Maybe we just miss the beauty in life, what is always before us, but we simply don't (know where to) look for it.
you said that griffin was taking it too literal with his interpretation. you said that most people with functioning senses would notice houses falling next to them. that would be taking it too literally.
i kinda agree with griffins interpretation because in the video, all the people there are business type people talking in their cell phones and holding suitcases rushing about and what not. and when buildings fall next to them, they dont notice.
Saying that most people with functioning senses would notice a house falling down next to them isn't an interpretation of the video. Griffin said they're so busy they don't notice buildings falling down; my retort was highlighting that what they were saying was essentially a desciption of the video and what is seen. That isn't necessarily the "meaning" behind the video, if there is one at all. I agree people tend to be stuck in their own world, but events of that magnitude don't go unnoticed.
what i meant was that you took griffin's interpretation too literal when you said that people would notice something as big as a building falling down. thats just the point. metaphors tend to be exagerations in order to get the point across. its like saying im so hungry i could eat a horse or he's boring me to death.
I'm pretty certain most people with functioning senses would notice a house falling down next to them. Your interpretation is probably a bit too literal.
Do explain what that's supposed to mean. I've stated it means nothing to me. I'm interested to know how a non-existent interpretation can be too literal.
Yorke has said that he treats his voice like an instrument... meaning he tries to blend it in with the other instrumentation of the band, rather than making it more glaring and obvious. I think it works better that way.
Besides... if you can't understand the lyrics, just read the liner notes.
really? he's not that hard to understand. the only song that 's difficult to make out (besides the ones with distorted vocals) is dollars and cents. pretty sure he's not even using real words in that song...
That's because that's how we act today, the world is falling apart but we seem to not care for it, not notice it at all, some people because they just don't know, others because they don't want to see it. They're just robots, running through numbers day by day, making the economy run, thus adding to the destruction.
This is my VERY fav. RH video, and song, 2nd is Pyramid Song. They are UNIQUE, and unsurpassed, before, or after. I don't know how to put a song on "continuous repeat". Can you do that?
yes, google "loopy for youtube." Its a "grease monkey" plugin. You must have Mozilla Firefox we browser with Grease monkey installed. download and turn on the loopy for you tube script and you can loop individual songs and playlists. =)
I don't live there; and jesus don't take such a statement so anally. There are great artists from other countries, but England is one of the most notable for musical talent.
mmm sure? The only band I love like radiohead actually, is one hiting strong in some Italians radiostations not being a million dollar production has a very interesting stuff. Search SWAVE IN THE FUTURE and u will understand what I mean ;)
i don't have an answer i just wanna know what you all think, 'cos she is the only one with colour, granted it's a green that is only just stands out from the grey.
i know the rose has colour to, but thats not what i'm asking.
for a small island (england) weve done loads we used to own the entire world till we made the mistake of not colonizing america and australia properly and weve produced MOST of the best bands ever
yeah is kinda ironic that all those great english bands hated their colonial past and britishness,john lennon even gave money to the ira. but i concur the best bands are english.and im irish and hate u2,not you too, but the band u2
no,off course if they dont hate being british,but britishness per se,,none of the great british band care much for monarchy and many like the beatles and the smiths take the piss out of the monarchy in songs, i think royalty is disgusting concept,,nothing wrong with being british or irish or whatever but we should all be honest and open about our pasts, history makes music,and music records history,"irish blood english heart is what im made of" as morissey so eloquently puts it .
i don't have an answer i just wanna know what you all think, 'cos she is the only one with colour, granted it's a green that is only just stands out from the grey.
i know the rose has colour to, but thats not what i'm asking.
She was also the only one to stop walking for a minute (to lean on the light). But it was brief, like the color. Kind of like a very brief glimpse of humanity within the chaos?
This is really wicked! Love the fact that buildings are crashing and no one give a care in the world. Thom's movements are great! Partitulary when he says "we don need the loonies taking over" And the single rose blowing thou the movement of people. This is very lovely.
I always thought of those lines in terms of watergate. The republicans 'don't want the loonies taking over' so they 'tip to round, tie em down' through subterfuge and twisted dealings. Some of the other loonies might be presidents that want to nationalize resources like oil away from exploitative american corporations who bring promises and leave debt. the cia tip toes around (bribery and corruption) and ties them down (coups, banana republics) I wonder if thom was thinking about that stuff.
most definately--the video shows the buildings falling, but it also shows them building back up and the whole while a flower still exists, that flower is the symbol of resiliancy--
this is a clear statement about post the 9-11 world, as the rest of the album is. The falling buildings represent the fall of the towers, while people walk around the ruin, blind to the absurdity of the straight fall down of the tower due to an impact on the side. also, saying that we need to "tie them all down" after only saying to tie up the "loonies" and "monsters" represents how Bush's policy of eventually holding all sorts of "terrorists" without their right to fair trial.
i believe i agree. the album itself had a big theme of this kind of thing. a response to bush and his policies. I don't know if this video gets as specific as the way the buildings fall but i do think it has to do with people ignoring truth as it occurs around them. i especially agree with what you say about the "loonies" and the "monsters" and tying them all down.
i would say that it means that bush is getting away with it, the evidence is covered, and so history may repeat itself once again. its as if it didnt happen... thats what i think the final statement is. btw radiohead is legendary, and they provoke and inspire things in even the deepest reaches of my mind. they are diverse, but i like all of their stuff. theyre the best!
Radiohead hadn't been so swaggering since OK Computer's 'Electioneering' as they are on 'Go to sleep'. I love the beautiful folsky feel of the song and I love the way that the video complements it. I could easily pick Go to sleep as my favourite ever Radiohead song, although I particularly like these as well, to name a few:
Hey, I'm a first time Radiohead listener and i was gonna buy a cd of theirs which one would you most recomend between In Rainbows, Kid A, Amnesiac, or Hail to the Thief?
What a song for the zeitgeist right now!!! I'm at that stage where if I listen to any other band, it only makes me appreciate Radiohead that much more
and whilst radiohead seem to be the only good band round now days there is still hope out there. Death Cab for Cutie is really good, and are worth a listen. im not keen to write off music all together, even though it looks bleak
rampet runners run online in a swift imagination of what the masses will become to devour what we know between these demintions media is fed in a way i hope youv'e learned to block the freqency the same way i have.... comment below this might say aluminum foil!
i say evolution! you have the brain power to evolve! sorry for the typos ha im drinking!
ohh what a song, what an underrated song. The accoustic is so straight forward and original, it gets me exhilarated. Makes me feel like i'm about to go on some huge road trip or sumthin. And then later it calms down with different and nonetheless amazing accoustics. The second chorus with the women's voices in the background is awesome along with the classic mini-solo.
favourite track of Radiohead at the moment, and videoclip. Just bought the best of DVD. Has all the videoclips. This one is epic!! can they get any better, at the absolute pinacle in my opinion.
It's simple. Thom, at the beginning, sees how fucked up the world really is. However, he decides to not give a fuck, "go to sleep", imagining, like the rest of us, that everything is nice and dandy.
have you heard the new album? there's several great "upbeat and relatively poppy" songs on it. That may be good or bad depending on your taste for the band. if you like the slower ones, theres a few of those too. I'd definitely recommend checking it out if you haven't.
Maybe you can argue that House of Cards and 15 Steps are relatively upbeat songs. But none of the other songs from In Rainbows is as upbeat as Go to Sleep
A minute inside the head of Thom Yorke. He sees society collapsing around him, but nobody notices. He's going to go to sleep (as well), and let it wash all over him - he stops observing, gets up and moves on.
Actually watch again. I think he witnesses a long passage of time that as been abbreviated into symbolized actions. When the buildings collapse, they are early 20th century classical style, but when they recollect, they are in a contemporary style. Also the flower is closed at the start, and in bloom at the end.
There is definitely meaning in what you've noticed, perhaps 'getting off the bench' at the end symbolises waking up after years and years of not seeing the obvious (today's global warming crisis, oil prices, etc). The flower could have a thousand meanings, I thought that was a fairly ubiquitous symbol. (still important though)
Very grateful to this song, the gateway that led to the brilliance that is radiohead.
Accessible song with a with a quirky edge and a interesting video had me off exploring more....

What a song for the zeitgeist right now!!! I'm at that stage where if I listen to any other band, it only makes me appreciate Radiohead that much more

Radiohead is a great band
But never forget about,nirvana,Alice in chains,led zeppelin,pinkfloyd,the doors,beatles, all old but great bands
boganchase 3 years ago 3
the classic rock bands will always be #1 in my book. for me led zeppelin tops all.
radiohead is really the last hope for real music; they are the very last band with real talent and passion for their music.
knoxrox167 3 years ago 7
exactly what I think. Radiohead is the only great band these days. theres a few other bands I like.
boganchase 3 years ago 4
i agree to an extent
led zepp, deep purple, floyd will always be great
and whilst radiohead seem to be the only good band round now days there is still hope out there. Death Cab for Cutie is really good, and are worth a listen. im not keen to write off music all together, even though it looks bleak

no no you're right dtxdestoyer - that other guy lostdon7 is stupid - not you - it's all coming down and radiohead is just a bit ahead of their time.

ohh what a song, what an underrated song. The accoustic is so straight forward and original, it gets me exhilarated. Makes me feel like i'm about to go on some huge road trip or sumthin. And then later it calms down with different and nonetheless amazing accoustics. The second chorus with the women's voices in the background is awesome along with the classic mini-solo.

i don't think we do any justice by compartmentalizing all our artisits and genre's and then mashing them up against one another for comparison
music is art, art is what you make of it, and it can be argued all day
The teeny bopper and the "punk" all have their places . W/o the bad you can't appreciate the good as much.

It's simple. Thom, at the beginning, sees how fucked up the world really is. However, he decides to not give a fuck, "go to sleep", imagining, like the rest of us, that everything is nice and dandy.

this song is pretty upbeat and relatively popppy for a post Kid A Radiohead song
wartydrake 3 years ago
have you heard the new album? there's several great "upbeat and relatively poppy" songs on it. That may be good or bad depending on your taste for the band. if you like the slower ones, theres a few of those too. I'd definitely recommend checking it out if you haven't.
jerkfacesmith 3 years ago
Maybe you can argue that House of Cards and 15 Steps are relatively upbeat songs. But none of the other songs from In Rainbows is as upbeat as Go to Sleep

to call this emo. you've got to check your meaning of emo.rock on radiohead

A minute inside the head of Thom Yorke. He sees society collapsing around him, but nobody notices. He's going to go to sleep (as well), and let it wash all over him - he stops observing, gets up and moves on.

Actually watch again. I think he witnesses a long passage of time that as been abbreviated into symbolized actions. When the buildings collapse, they are early 20th century classical style, but when they recollect, they are in a contemporary style. Also the flower is closed at the start, and in bloom at the end.
AssOnAPlate187 3 years ago 2
There is definitely meaning in what you've noticed, perhaps 'getting off the bench' at the end symbolises waking up after years and years of not seeing the obvious (today's global warming crisis, oil prices, etc). The flower could have a thousand meanings, I thought that was a fairly ubiquitous symbol. (still important though)
