I was diagnosed with cancer. She left when I began chemo. I went through it alone and maintained positive. This song saved my life. Don’t get sentimental… right.
..... I listen to the chorus of this song and I am fervently drawn to one of those rare instances in the labor of the human existence that enables us to open fully the swelling, tragic and beautiful pathway into that crystalline perfection of pure emotional warmth and the tearful, utter and purest expressions of both love and pain we as a species are capable of. I am so, so glad that music affects me this way, and I truly hope it does for everyone as well.
I've always been fascinated with this song and I can't say how many times I've listened trying to figure out why. First it's a very unconventional song the evokes deep emotion (which I've always expected from Radiohead). 3 movements...In my opinion the drums (primarily) also bass and vocals control the song until 2:30. Prior to that guitar notes are dropping like rain in something of organized chaos. There's a shift at 2:30 where the lone guitar comes then things get pretty electronic in the same organized chaos that has continued throughout. At 3:42 is the first time things get remotely conventional but it's really just all the elements finally synching at which point the vocals really hammer it home. Just one mans opinion and I have no real musical background to aid me with a proper description but 15 years later and I still can't listen to it just once. I don't see that changing anytime soon.
The whole album is near perfection but there was always something about this song in particular that gave off such a unique feeling for me. I think your analysis was great and it made me love this song even more than I did before :') 👍🏻
You made a technical music analysis, but the power of this song is not only the frequency of vibration of the instruments, but the lyrics also. It's a master combination speaking to your soul. Most of Radiohead song's lyric speak about the pain of have to stay in third dimension ...
acabo de descubrir hoy esta canción en mi auto, y a pesar de que no entendia toda la letra, me sentia tan deprimente mientras estaba atascado en el tráfico de la ciudad, pero a la vez con algo de esperanza, la canción me llego tanto que hasta casi lloro, es muy hermosa, y pasa directo a mi top de canciones favoritas...
How weird...when i published those lyrics December 10th 2009 it was for one of my friends that i was loosing because we arrived at a point where we took are seperate ways. And I wanted to help her out in a discret way... But today i received another comments of you guys that brought me back here and you know what this song was for me since the beggining...and only today i realize it (3 years later) ! :)
To everyone insulting Nirvana: Nirvana was one of the bands that influenced Radiohead the most. Nirvana's Nevermind (1991) deeply influenced Radiohead's Pablo Honey and The Bends (1993 & 1995). You must be really stupid to insult Nirvana when you do not know how important Nirvana was for Radiohead's earlier works.
nirvana couldn't even get close to Radiohead's later music. Nirvanas music was formulaic and pretty simplistic. When you listen to the album in rainbows the music in it is class, there is no formula and loads of depth, Its just a whole new experience each time you listen to it.
+lukomundo Nirvana's songs do have a simple structure, but the lyrics are just as deep as Radiohead's songs. In fact, the beauty of grunge comes from the song's simplicity. Radiohead's later music is not as good as their earlier music (The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A). In Rainbows was great, but Amnesiac, Hail to the Thief and The King of Limbs were just ok. OK Computer, regarded as Radiohead's best album, still can't compete against Nevermind. There is still no Radiohead album that can, reallly...
+Cesar Metlich well I guess that is where we disagree, I think nirvana have a more aggressive style that is pretty incomparable, you can't really compare a song like reckoner to a song like in bloom, I was just stating that radioheads style is a lot more complex and the words more profound.
I used to like this song a little bit til I payed attention half way through and heard Thom singing "You know where you are" repeatedly and now i've listened to it like 10 times in the past day. Brilliant song !
This song could apply to drugs and the enevitable comedown and long years of hellish addiction. I know it's about fallen relationships and pain mainly. Thom Yorke writes some of the saddest/emotional lyrics but many songs have upbeat/progressive melodies that balances the lyrical messages like no other band on the planet. Shout out to Linkin Park too!
Outstanding imaginative vocabulary, imagery and melodies. Sometimes, lyrics almost convince me of 'spiritual' assistance or channeling. Almost perfect, seemingly effortless and ingenious, gloriously, and beautifully delivered with vocals used like an instrument. Id believe it if told other 'forces' gave assistance. Freddie Mercury and Florence also. Think Enya, Kate bush also, mesmerizing enchanting and mystical. This whole song is as close to perfection as it gets. THIS,is Brit pop at its best. Haunting melancholic and harmonic, still doesn't do it justice. Bravo Thom. 👩🎤🧙
estoy bebiendo y en couc.. y puse en la buskeda "let down whith lyrics" Danielle B... que el Señor Dios te bendiga for- e- ver.. gracias a ti y a muchos como tu por hacer la red un lugar bonito donde podemos estar. \m/
Maybe it is, however, as a matter of input, in the official video, he is visiting his girlfriend at the cemetery, and he is ready to kill himself after writing a letter. The spirit of her stops him of doing it, and the end of the video is a fast reverse action of all what he did (driving to the cemetery, writing the letter, etc). That's why the words "One day I am going to grow wings" and then "Let down and hanging around, crushed like a bug into he ground" because he realizes, it is not his time to go yet. Most of Radiohead song lyrics speak about the pain of have to stay here in the third dimension ...
You should have heard this on my $7,000 10 speaker/sub Alpine sound system in my Daihatsu Charade back in '97 Mmy GF saidxshe could literally hear me coming from 2kms away The car xould literally shake out nuts and bolts.... I'LL tell you what - you knew you were aive with this "cranked to 11" I have tinititous - i qlso DIG Bose and Sennheiser headphones. up loud. And 59 🥺

Stay strong bro 💪🏼
😢 sending you whatever you need ❤
I was diagnosed with the same thing...in December..this song helps..hugs
@@lucahd7385 i was diagnosed with leukemia and most of my family and friends don't care so I have to learn and just cope with it i guess.
@@lucahd7385 best of luck to you my internet friend🤟🏻☮️
This is the most perfect song ever to listen in the radio..
+VB MUTT or on a cd.
The best song to listen in a long trip
@arobhehe7099 personal I think going 110 down a highway, a long trip I think dramaina, little hotel, by modest mouse
Or anything from the bends album

One of my top ten all time favorite songs. So perfect in every dimension.

Yekay yeke Totally agree - this song is somehow uplifting and sad all at once. And the last part from 3:42 onwards - just wow.
You made a technical music analysis, but the power of this song is not only the frequency of vibration of the instruments, but the lyrics also. It's a master combination speaking to your soul. Most of Radiohead song's lyric speak about the pain of have to stay in third dimension ...
+John O'brien very interesting analysis of music you did.
+John O'brien "guitar notes are dropping like rain" ^^^^^This!
Deepest betrayal in 1998. 'I am going to grow wings'. I eventually grew wings ❤
We all have ''wings'' :)...But we often forget that we are strong and always able to get trew thoses difficult time!
I consider this to be an anthem of modernity.

Nirvana were much more influential than Radiohead..

My favorite song. Ever.

Fucking glorious song.
Woah, surprised you have no comments! Love this song, love Radiohead, thanks for the vid :)

A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless

...
I remember i Wrote that on my note... I hope ur ok man
what does it mean
it's about betrayal on a deep level. he is too good to walk away so he takes more and more on until it changes him into a butterfly.
LET DOWN AND HANGING AROUND!!!! CRUSHED LIKE A BUG IN THE GROUND!!!!
Thank you this is nice...love Radiohead, they always seem to hit the depts of my soul.
Brilliant song, brilliant band
ahhhh!! this song just stops me from being angry! :p
estoy bebiendo y en couc.. y puse en la buskeda "let down whith lyrics"
Danielle B... que el Señor Dios te bendiga for- e- ver.. gracias a ti y a muchos como tu por hacer la red un lugar bonito donde podemos estar. \m/
in a few years these albums will become "classics" - as big as the beatles if not more
Such a beautiful song, oh that ending. Wow Thom
I listen to this song every time I have hard feelings ,yesterday friend and said goodbye after 9 years:(
This song is so good. ❤️
One of my favorite radiohead songs!!
I love to see my snow man lounging, chilling. Looking at the sky, blowing out a nice rip.
Do you see it?
I miss my best friend Oky Bastian..where r u bro ?
Let it rip
I love this song and-- for the longest time-- I didn't even realize it was a Radiohead song. What is wrong with me?
its a crushing feeling being let down :'(
So... Can someone tell me where the rest of the views are?
On the other one that Communistnihilist posted
My flow of this song is about habing a long day and going to a bar but can't explain that people are there to vent away
Because you were there just to have a drink nothing more ..
But people are there to vent away But don't realize people are there to firmly have a drink but yet .. bars are full of deep emotions...carry on
Beautiful
Very beautifull way to say that life is beautifull, we are fragile so lets not waste time on useless s***
Three people are clinging onto bottles.
i cried. T_T
this song is awesome
Really nice video! One of their best songs too :)
all the comments here hit a chord but ya know what... the only word needed for this song is PERFECTION
May the Ether be with you, Tom.
Does anyone else understand this brilliant and amazing masterpiece is an analogy from Kafka's book: Metamorphosis? With a "Happy Ending" of course xD
Happy Ending? at most it is a longing
Maybe it is, however, as a matter of input, in the official video, he is visiting his girlfriend at the cemetery, and he is ready to kill himself after writing a letter. The spirit of her stops him of doing it, and the end of the video is a fast reverse action of all what he did (driving to the cemetery, writing the letter, etc).

Like Kafka said, a book should be an axe for the frozen sea within is, this song is the musical equivalent of such a book.
this is cory fav song
You should have heard this on my $7,000 10 speaker/sub Alpine sound system in my Daihatsu Charade back in '97
Mmy GF saidxshe could literally hear me coming from 2kms away
The car xould literally shake out nuts and bolts....
I'LL tell you what - you knew you were aive with this "cranked to 11"
I have tinititous - i qlso DIG Bose and Sennheiser headphones. up loud. And 59 🥺
Gracias y le deseo el mejor.
thought he said 'crushed like a bargain hunter'
Nirvana or any other bands can never deliver such deep emotion and deep meanings
Don't compare apple with peaches
@@MaviNK apples and oranges
And sleepless night is guaranteed
The first time i heard this song I jizzed a hole in my pants
Some say it's akin to a religious experience. Bless you in the name of Yorke. When I found out Bruce Willis was dead I...
will I be able to grow wings one day?
damn thats awesome. GReat verse development each time.
Thank you
