In this song, though, I get the feeling that the video is both literal and figurative. The imagined world becomes real (Pinocchio).
I'm hearing this: This is my way OUT of saying goodbye / Because I can't do it face to face / So I'm talking to you before (I don't hear "it's too late" - when is it said?) No matter what happens now...
wow, this sends chills all over my body. between this song and your last facebook status "if there is aGod, let him shine light on our cloudy days". this for sure is our cloudy days. your video is like saying goodbye to everyone since you couldnt do it face to face.. while laying there lifeless. i didnt know you Joey, but you sure was talented and a well liked guy. your life ended to young. But maybe God needed your amazing voice for his chorus. you will be missed, Joey! Valerie Judd :""(
When I listen to videotape, I think of a person that is about to die. Like one of those videos someone makes just before they die beginning with, "if you are watching this, i am most likely dead", etc. "When i'm at the pearly gates." Correct me if i'm wrong, but that sounds like Heaven.
I love this band and the song is sublime. Every once in a while you get a band or an artist that really changes things, and this is one of them. BTW If you like this check out my music, it has a similar kind of vibe.
Videotape, to me, represents a certain amount of acceptance, even in regret, that we didn't see on the past albums. Just plot their albums chronologically and listen to the sound. It's a beautiful progression, and Videotape remains their jewel sitting upon it all.
''É perfeita essa musica, a letra e melodia são lindas. Lembro de muita coisa com ela... e como é tão dificil dizer adeus...Te amo..." / "It's perfect this song, the lyrics and melody's beautiful, I remember very thing with this music... how is hard to say goodbye... I love you...''
Your video portrays human mortality in the revolving door of 'life' extremely well. Its easy to forget in all the daily rush that lifes best memories only happen when we stop, share and reflect once in a while.

Videotape by Radiohead
posted 11-03-2007, rated 0, view
"I'm reminded of Rufus Wainwright's "Movies of Myself" where he refers to his own imaginings of how life is/will be.
