Scatterbrain (Acoustic)

Live from KROQ 9-29-2003

Thom: "It's a really, really difficult song to describe. My favourite type of weather in the whole wide world is extreme winds. It is a bit dangerous. I have a house in the middle of nowhere and the house next door, the roof blew up and we just watched it and it was exactly like 'The Wizard of Oz'. It was fantastic. And this was a similar incident in the city. But it's kind of a love song as well, in a way." - Thom Yorke

I've been listening to this song everyday since 2003. I'm not sure if I'll ever get sick of it. Thank you, Radiohead.

I actually like Nigel's productions of their music. None of it's overly produced, or badly produced. But I prefer raw sounding stuff like this. More core stuff, less filler.

@y2penni You mean much less vocal control? There are loads of mistakes as far as his singing goes.

[fatnynja]

This song ,in all it's shapes and more than any other , symbolizes their art quietly , mischievously , representing all the colorful layers .

[IamRedleaf]

Scatterbrain

I'm walking out in a force ten gale.

birds thrown around, bullets for hail.

the roof is pulling off by its fingernails.

your voice is rapping on my window sill

[TheRedstormshadow]

yesterday's headlines blown by the wind.

yesterday's people end up scatterbrain.

then any fool can easy pick a hole. (I only wish I could fall in)

a moving target in a firing range.
