Pyramid Song

Pyramid Song
Radiohead
Amnesiac

I jumped in the river and what did I see?
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
All the things I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

I jumped into the river
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
And all the things I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

It's all 4/4. The pattern is : ♩· ♩· (tied) ♩_♩ ♩· ♩· = 2 x 1.5 + 2 + 2 x 1.5 = 8 times = 2 mesures in 4/4.

If you count in ♪, you have 3♪ 3♪ 4♪ 3♪ 3♪, in others words (triangle) (triangle) (square) (triangle) (triangle) = Square pyramid!

[Maxim Maunz]

Perhaps, when he says "I jumped in the river what did I see? Black eyed swam with me. A moon full of stars and astral cars and all the figures I used to see." he is talking about the corruption of imagination. Every child is born with an amazing nearly infinite imagination, and as they are slowly brought into a harsh reality they lose that magic. Just some thoughts.

My that's why Yorke called song As a Pyramid song?

[morad doukkali]

sincerly , all their albums are pretty good , but i have a preference for : Pablo honey wich is their first and for me the best , then " The Bends " , after you can go on " Ok Computer " . and " Amnesia " . If you take this steps , you can after understand and realise the changement in their style . Hope it can help .

[Jack Finlayson]

I would go OK computer, then the bends, then Kid A. Those are the most critically acclaimed but all offer different views, especially kid A, I also suggest Kid A last

First time listening to radiohead; any sugestions on which album should I listen first?

[DrBobPliny]

After death, the royalty of ancient Egypt were thought to take a boat ride with those they loved. The boat took them on a trip through hell, which they would pass though. When Thom sings of swimming with black-eyed angels, I think about those beautiful granite statues that you see in almost any good exhibition of Egyption art. I don't think children are born with anything but possibilities.

[WhomYouAssume]

One of the winningest songs ever recorded, I believe.

It is written in 4/4 to make it easier. But it isn't 4/4, it's 16/16 or 16/8 (3+3+4+3+3/16 as you said). Accent is everything in time signatures.
