I remember the first time I watched it, I was actually really gripped and wondering where it was leading too and I just love the ending. It's actually good to watch unlike a lot of music videos that are just boring.
DO YOU PEOPLE REALLY THINK VEVO CARES? DO YOU? IF I WERE VEVO, I SURE AS HELL WOULDNT, BECAUSE MY FATASS WADS OF CASH WOULD BE BLOCKING MY VIEW OF THE COMPUTER SCREEN. Sorry for caps but people need something arousing to get their attention like dogs. But seriously Vevo doesnt care.
Tom Yorke is my hero.Johnny Greenwood is my hero. Colin Greenwood is my hero.Ed O'Brien is my hero.Phil Selway is my hero. well actually all of Radiohead is my hero =D
legendary!!!! as for the video, its no more than provocative for the sake of provocative, deviate from the norm and everyone absolutely, desperately, needs to know wtf you are up to
i think when the guy is lying down, he does it because, in london, no one will listen to you, unless of course your doing something like lying on the pavement, and I think the thats the one thing everyone wants, just to be listened to! thats my opinion anyway, it came to me in a business lesson when my teacher said "people in london are ignorant"
I recorded this song at my friends house today and I'd like to know what you guys think of thel lyrics, sound, voice, etc. A bit of a comment or advise always helps :)
All the so-called music lovers, who just want "everyone to stop arguing and just enjoy the music," must stop inculcating their assumption that "all music is equal" to the unwitting majority. It simply is not. Music criticism begins with this realization. Eventually, we must be able to say that Muse is better than Radiohead or Radiohead better than Muse. When we just throw up our hands before the idol of our "enjoyment", we all lose.
It's interesting how the song's meaning is "you do it to yourself" and the music video make you put yourself through misery while attempting to figure out what he's saying when he lies on the pavement. Perhaps they made a video to make you experience the meaning of the song.
I'm all for philosophy and discussing the downfall of human society as we know it on music videos online, but I simply think that the guy on the ground farted
@oscurobaronerampante My music teacher said that one of his old students could read lips, so he asked him what he was saying. Apparently he just says "I'll tell you, I'll tell you" or something like that.
The lyrics of the songs describe how we victimize ourselves. Like an addiction, we are the ones who do it. Our guilt sticks around. we fall down on our own. And no matter how much people try to help us only we can help ourselves stand back up.
Check out the Radiohead - The Bends Playlist I have in my profile, all the tracks, in order, one click! Got a bunch of other Full Album Playlists there too!
I bet none of you have seen the deleted scenes for lotus flower yet! Thom Yorke doesn't want them seen, search for 'lotus flower deleted scenes' or 'bigballsextra' if you want to be in on the secret!!
@shaveyourwookie its a lot of explaining but just listen to god...in the video he says you dont want to know. You just really dont want to know whats going on in this world we live in, obviously because of how much shock he is in he just lays on the floor. He finally answers the question when the cop says for Christs sake!
Yes ill tell you, ill tell you why im lying here...
...but God forgive me...
...and God help us all...
...because you dont know what you ask of me... God help us all
We must be strong enough to keep living though we know that everything we do is finally in pure loss. Knowing is a necessary burden. Let ignorance win and I prefer not imagine what a mess this world would be. (Sorry for my english, I'm french and we have french english teacher, what a pity.)
