When I'm listening to this song, I see images of cities at night, viewed from a balcony of a huge hotel room on the top floor, and I'm with my friends, and someone I love, with the breeze coming to us outdoors.
@Electroma94 On top of there there, the opening is similar to Wolf at the Door. But the other guy is right, the strongest similarity is there there. Still beautiful tho.
I can't think of a more beautiful interplay of electric piano, jangly electric guitar, and acoustic guitar then I hear in the verse of this song. Every single note is absolutely exactly what it's supposed to be. This song just makes me disappear for 3:50...
listen to this with headphones. amazing. i love how the xylophone-type bell sound subtly kind of goes away in the climax of the song and then comes back at the end
Radiohead is my favorite band, without question..the new album is not bad at all, but I still miss this kind of tunes..anyway this song is just beautiful
If you take the song as if hes singing TO you, you start to understand the true meaning behind it. All of radioheads music is meant to "get you out" of your body, to take you back home. " Come slowly to me, iv been waiting". Its like god is singing to you to come back home. All of his music, is the same message. Go back home. Thats the sadness you hear. "theres a way out". He and many many other artists either knowingly or unknowingly, sing about taking you people back home to oneness.

@Schizima and you need to shut the fuck up, just because you don't agree with somebody's opinion doesnt mean you have to be a stupid little prick and try to down them, asswipe.
@Ballahollic0221 That's what musicians like Thom Yorke are for, they can express what we can't even put our fingers on. I know what you mean. I felt it a couple of times myself.
Every musician is influenced. It's what they do with it and Radiohead did a lot. You're missing the point if you're hung up on the details. Listen and enjoy.
I have nothing to hide. I'm open about my music. Yes I do lean towards the Rap persuasion(Yea I'm black). But I love songs like this. I mean really, this song is just like..... AHH I can't use words to describe. Puts me in such a chill mode.
@ccsballazdre same here brah, but it's all about knowing what the real music is also. gotta have that love for the instruments and the other types of story behind this music. personally radiohead is my favorite band, then comes A tribe called quest or De La Soul.
there is music which u listen to and think that it might have been influenced by angels, its so melancholy and beautiful. this is definitly that kind of music.
@tybaron23 I dont know, it's a good question. I think he would've given them technical props, but as to whether he would've listened regularly, who knows? I think he was a more "meat and potatoes" rock-and-roller, preferring B-52's as opposed to Pink Floyd (the thematic predecessor of Radiohead), so I think he would've appreciated their contribution to rock and artistry, but I dont think he would've really liked them honestly. Just different sensibilities. I know he would've hated the 80's.
the singing is the only part of the 'head's music I'm uncertain about. sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't. this is coming from the guy who didn't like creep :P
to clear it up, radiohead kick several species of shit out of most other artists :D
you can buy the second cd of 'in rainbows' off of radioheads website still. Go to the w.a.s.t.e shop and look under 'audio and visual' and then click on 'digital' and there are all the downloads they have.
This could have replaced faust arp or EVEN videotape .....
"There's a way out......"
This is eternal this track
Picture an explosion -cloud- expanding in the air in slow motion appraoching you as you look at it from the top while you are falling down towards the earth in slow motion............
@WirelessShuffle I think you have to be quite a special person to fully appreciate bodysnatchers. it's too weird for sane people I think to comprehend I believe.
@MartaineJr "oh, and i'm sane btw" What, so you don't 'get' Bodysnatchers either? ;)
Personally, I've heard weirder tracks, by Radiohead and others. IMO Bodysnatchers is in the same ball-park of discordant grating beauty as tracks like Myxomatosis or Electioneering - it shouldn't work but it does.
i don't reckon myxomatosis is grating, tbh. it seems a little bit like the prodigy to me, and you could probably stick it on at the club and no-one would mind. right up until "the mangled cat came in"
@ManiaKattaK As null140 says it's actually 'the mongrel cat came home'. But don't get me wrong, I certainly wouldn't walk out of a club if Myxomatosis came on.
However, the song is somewhat raucous and unmelodic, and Thom mumble-shouts his way through most of it which is what I meant by 'grating'. In other words it's no Fake Plastic Trees or Like Spinning Plates. Not that I expect him to sing in an angelic falsetto at all times either mind you. I really dig his style on Wolf at the Door.
