Radiohead are amazing. Thom Yorke is the new Shirley Bassey - and I'm not kidding. Imagine Thom singing some of Shirley's songs, and then imagine Shirley singing Radiohead.... it works almost TOO well.
i may be competely off, but i'm hearing a measure in 6/8 then a measure in 4/8 --> or (not that it can be reduced) a measure of 3/4 then a measure in 2/4
Apparently this tune is in 7/8 timing but it sounds like 5/4 to me, how do you count it, cuz when I count "one two three four five six sev" it doesnt fit. idk.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
erm, i'm pretty sure it's 9/8. it's not 5/4 for sure, it doesn't fit, only overlaps because it's a same denominator fraction (times two, but still). Try counting it in 5/4, it didn't work for me at least.
Trust me, it's in 5/4, counting it is a little strange, but it's definitely in 5/4, and 9/8 and 5/4 have no correlation in sound. When you play it on drums you can really feel where each measure starts, if you keep trying, you'll be able to count it in 5/4 easy.
I'm so glad this band found the perfect mesh of members that compliment eachother's inputs to make an awesome song, it's like a positive snowball effect. I get into the rhythm with phil and colin, get excited at a buildup with ed, then explode at jonny's awesome part, and throughout thom sorta guides it in and out of these angelic and sharp states of the song while giving a sweet/eerie voice.
lol my bad, didn't to mean to upset you by noting how well the band go together. but I do kinda get your point, i don't usually go off into annoying tangents.. I got too excited
were'd you park the car???!!! Fkn brilliant! this is probably their best work that doesn't get the attention it deserves. Cut the kids in half???? Are you kidding me? This shit is bananas!!!
so its a metaphore then? i thought maybe it was a bell people rang in olden days to wake people up like a rooster but in bell form and a person to hit it with a mallet.
and it might mean that the alarm or bell releases him from the clutches of sleep because when you first wake up most of the time well in my case anyways i want to fall back asleep right away.
it looks like, I wanted to tell but you never listen, and I keep walking, and something like Lights are onbut nobodies home everyone wants to be your friend but nobody wants to be afraid thats why I,m walking
The best song off Kid A. And this version is endlessly better than the one on Amnesiac.
