Because that's the purpose of the song. The entire album is not in its place. Listen to, "Yesterday I woke up sucking on a lemon". Thom said that line described how he felt during the recording of Kid A. Because when someone sucks on a lemon, they have a sour face. Radiohead had A LOT of pressure to continue on from the Bends and OK Computer. Thom just said, "I can (we can) easily make another OK Computer, but that's just no fun. Making the same music is no fun"
I think this song is about how absolute we are sometimes in our lives.We see things in two colours (black and white) when in reality everything is shades of grey. We convice ourselves everything is in right place and we dont improve on by destroying some parts of our personalities to mould them back again,because it's too hard.Yet,when we go to bed at night we realise that we spent the day doing nothing and not becoming the best version of ourselves so we wake up with a sour look on our faces.
@ShortieAlefas wow. That's crazy, and deep. The thing is they wrote the words to this song by writing couplets on pieces of paper, and then pulling a few out of a hat out of many, then they probably arranged them, but that notwithstanding that totally makes sense.
And then when he says "What was that you tried to say?" Its like someone tried to break from that sometimes awful pattern you described, and failed.
@Carpetsheep Yesterday i woke up sucking a lemon, the song is about his 2-3 year bad mood, hes saying every day he woke up in a bad mood, with the "sour face" that one would have after tasting a lemon
After listening to The Bends for about two weeks, hearing this makes me wonder how in the hell they evolved to this. Nothing short of amazing, love this band.
WE ARE NOT EVEN WORTHY TO MENTION THEM BUT COME TO SEE HOW THEY INFLUENCED US AND LET WE KNOW WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT. PLEASE ALSO HELP US TO FIND A NEW NAME FOR THE BAND BECAUSE THIS ONE IS TOO HEAVY.
those eerie distorted voices at the beginning are captivating.. please someone tell me other songs with distorted voices like that... and like the voices at the beginning of portishead's numb.
@aliisthedrummaster The fact that you just said "this" sounds like Reset is amazing. Considering Thom wrote this in 1999 and Mute Math didn't form till 2003. But hey yeah Radiohead one of the greatest and most respected bands of all time ripped off, that... band! Glad children are stilling being born though we need young ones like you to learn music!
Wow dude, thanks for the snarky comment... Sorry I didn't know the release dates of each song, I'll have to do some heavy research next time before I post a YouTube comment. But regardless of who wrote what first, the great thing about music is that it INFLUENCES EVERYONE, and there's no such thing as 'ripping off.' That's what I've learned about music as a 'child' thus far. Good thing old people are around to be rude and elitist on the internet.
2 million views? Are you kidding me? Katy Perry and Lady GaGa don't even have 1/10th of 1% the talent of Radiohead and yet they still get views like no other, something is wrong with America...
My friends and I listen to this song on Shooms... the song talked to me, seems life is just a round a bout of broken dreams and It's our purpose to break the cycle or feel the cold hands of time repeated.
excuse me am i the only one that heres yeterday i woke up sucking on lemons???? and the n but i see colors in my head.... she triend to say im typing as i listen here -_-
I'm so stoned right now this song is giving me the creeps and not and I hear his voice coming from all over and this time-space shit happens and I'm petrified listening to it over and over and over and I realize everything's in it's right place and not SHIT!
@newellboy2 I heard of this song in the anonymous trailer is that a bad thing? I think anonymous is a great movie who can give a great publicity to radio head!
