so basically i think it is about the earth going through birth, development, the introduction of human and civilization (along with pollutions and all the negative externalities), the end of the world caused by humans (the destruction of the atmosphere, etc), and either the process repeats itself or never happens again as represented by the "spirit" tree?
you know, my dad has always found radiohead cold, dark, uncomfortably depressing. i, however, remember, distinctly, at around fourteen,listening to Kid A in my room and for the first time in my life feeling like it was okay- i'll never forget how heavy my blinks were.
watching civilization evolve from scratch without seeing any people. very interesting outlook. very artistic and poetic, this video is exquisite glad it won. congrats to the creator
@TheCaptainturtles14 It's about a goethe's poem, talks about the artistic perspective of life, in contrast with the ''Rational, Scientist's way'' of see things... or someting like that..
there is only one word to say for this song: Genius...!!!
btw, i found one reckoner cover with completely different touch and taste. the sound is more rigid with new drum style. it's interesting anyway check it out:
I KNOW I SHOULD NOT WRITE N0THING BUT REALLY I THINK THIS BECAME MY FAVORITE SONG FOR THE TIME BEING FOR SOMETIMES A LONG VERY SOON. IT IS VERY A VISIONARY CREATION.
This song loses time a bit. It sounds weirder than the album version. Am I the only one who noticed? The beat drops a bit of time and then comes back once in a while.
@sarahlovebud I don't know if i could write 10 pgs about a song even as good as this song, guess that's why I'm not an english student. what did you write about for 10 pgs?
I wish that all "Highest Rated Comments" would be about the video and/or song instead of well not being about it. I don't care which comment but the one that does show should LOVE or LIKES this video. This is also a reminder like the video its a CONTEST WINNER!!!!
i learned of this song playing counter-strike source [NotD] mini games servers. i love this song. even better if you replace the words an just meow..lol
At the beginning, it resembles an early atomic test, where the guy wires from the tower ignite and reach down beyond the main fireball. Atomic testing imagery is everywhere in this video, including towards the end where it looks like the space tests of the 1960's with the oblong fireball undulating out in the troposphere.
I'm guessing, the video is showing how civilisation 'progresses' or arguably progresses. A city starts off as a small farm house in the middle of a vast woodland, and as time moves on, the woodland is replaced by concrete etcetera etcetera. Hmmm, I wonder how my town will look by 2100...
Dude Late at night my friend and I go on a night drive and listen to the whole album. Its sooo nice and such a steady calm. Just us , the road & the music
amazing song! check out my remix/sample of this same very song, would mean a lot to get some feedback from radiohead fans seeing as though i used a radiohead song... thanks!
Is it me or Radiohead is the only band that makes music in a totally different way, play songs that come from their soul and don't sell out to big record companies that just want big hits and profit at any cost? With the amount of crap that they give us everyday, I thank god that Radiohead exists to make a difference.
@MrRezineiro There are plenty more bands that express their soul and their art. Tool for example. They play outside the realm of everyday "refrigerator buzz"-Tom Yourke
@MrRezineiro I totally agree, there is something that is spinetingling beautiful about their unique sound. I've been a die hard fan for years now.. I remember I didn't like their stuff when I first heard it streaming out of my brothers room, probably cause it wasn't like anything I was used to. Then one day it hit me in the face that , yes I liked it.. and then I LOVED IT! They are in my opinion the best band in the world! I never get sick of their music : )
@mabolzichjjl He wasn't complaining about the video o_O
He was saying who ever synced the sound and visuals got it wrong and that its insulting to whoever made it, seeing as it must have been a great effort on their part just to have it sloppily displayed. Try reading next time eh champ.
@mabolzichjjl Did you actually read my comment? The video is a work of genius, the person who uploaded it with over-compressed soundtrack should get a kick in the balls.
@MrSpuddyduddy wait how was it now again. I think it's life-affirming - love it. And isn't it cool that the video is in black & white but I could swear that the song itself is in color
Calcolatrice non puoi portarla con te e ballare per il tuo piacere Non è una tua colpa quello che ti ha distratta, agrodolce non oso dire il suo nome. È dedicato a tutti voi a tutti gli esseri umani Perché ci separiamo come onde su una spiaggia vuota Perché ci separiamo come onde su una spiaggia vuota Calcolatrice portami con te. È dedicato a tutti voi a tutti gli esseri umani
Reckoner You can’t take it with you Dancing for your pleasure You are not to blame for Bittersweet distractor Dare not speak its name Dedicated to all you All human beings Because we separate like Ripples on a blank shore Because we separate like Ripples on a blank shore Reckoner Take me with you Dedicated to all you All human beings
@lufc550 but everything is one, all consciousnesses is one consciousness, all arises from nothing.. the source and Radiohead is the sound the source makes.
i know there is a radiohead music video where everything is filmed in different shutter speeds and it is filmed by a somewhat known director, anyone know where this is?
