Radiohead - 4 Minute Warning

[zagreus12]

it was british form of the american "emergency broadcast system" from the cold war. it had nothing to do with nazi's. it was the time in which parliment thought a nuclear attack would hit, once detected.

[Tremoloep]

What Album is this from?

[8scatterbrain8]

in rainbows

[simha1985]

4 minute warning = the alarms at the nazi camps. the alarm would sound, and the Jews had 4 minutes to say bye to their loved ones incase they were saught out to die. very tragic. very deep song.

[wogbhudd]

thats horrible

[Colquhouny]

Indeeeeed.

Radiohead are best at these deep songs.

There's a few of them from their new tracks or at least tracks considered for LP7.

This, Videotape, Nude, etc.
