    Many people point out how well this song depicts depression and suicidal desperation but I think what is often missed is that there’s also an ironic sweetness to these low moods which is picked up perfectly by the ostensibly innocent sound of the bells and xylophone. There’s really nothing accidental about Radiohead’s music.

No longer arguing or protesting (Silent, silent). They may be on their death bed with a terminal disease caused by their lifestyle of the aforementioned or it could be their last time mentioning their dissent before taking in a life of pure acquiescence (This is my final fit, my final bellyache). They trade in the thrill and flavor of their life for the security of assimilation and in exchange for acceptance they get their house in the suburbs complete with a yard and 2.5 children (Such a pretty house, such a pretty garden).

    The bit where you say 'Simple isn't easy' really hit me.
    Simple is one of the hardest things there is. You can put out a super-complex arrangement with layers upon layers upon layers with all kinds of effects and tricks and gimmicks and it's easy for poor choices and wrong steps to vanish in amongst all that 'noise', but in a simple arrangement, the slightest wrong step stands out like a spider on a wedding cake.
    'Simple' is HARD.

    Radiohead are emotionally draining but very satisfying. I can't describe the feeling when I sit down and listen to their albums. I could just lie down and spend the day listening.
    I had avoided getting into Radiohead. I don't know why but the only song I had heard from them was Creep, and I did not pursue them further. Then in my first semester in college, I decided to give them a try and I immediately went into a phase where I'd listen only to Radiohead all the time. Discovering a band that can leave an impression on you is such a delight.

    This is a song of painful beauty. One of the things I learned about this track is that they purposefully dropped the speed of the arrangement so that it is slightly flat (it drives guitar players batty to try and play along with the track lol), and the vocals are dropped in on the mix after. Such a haunting song about the desire to just be done/finished/ still. Just at the precipice, a desire to push through back into the world feels almost joyous.

I later heard a more accurate interpretation that it was about the modern social condition wearing you down so much that all you want to do is go and hide, because you can't take any more stress and psychological abuse. - Which is why he's slowly drowning in the music video. - Deep man, really deep, - and beautiful.

    OK Computer was the first contemporary album I fell in love with. Prior to that I’d listened to lots of 60s and 70s albums, but as a young adolescent OKC spoke to my teenage angst in a way I may never really comprehend but I knew on the first listen it was special. I still listen to it now but man is it depressing.

    Oof... you gotta give a listen to something from their album "In Rainbows". Probably a song like Reckoner or Nude or Jigsaw Falling Into Place?

    The emotional and cultural significance of OK Computer has not diminished since 1997, probably increased in potency because its cautionary observations have become commonplace, moved from the conceptual to reality. We do rely too much on technology, we have allowed it to surrogate social interaction, we are tethered to large tech companies unnecessarily. Radiohead and the dogs on the street knew that and Yorke and co. were channelling the angst of the transition beautifully. That's why it was so successful in its day and has maintained its relevance.

  • @moondog548
    @moondog548 3 года назад +4

    Amazing again. "A Release of Suffering" is exactly why Radiohead is so magically CATHARTIC even when they're completely despairing, because they're genius composers! Their most impactful song on me remains OPTIMISTC. Musically it's an AGGRESSIVE OPPRESSIVE DIRGE, and the lyrics honestly play straight with that theme... AND YET!!!... it has always impacted me, especially at the depths of my depression, as EMPOWERING. And having my feelings of utter despair made so explicit somehow make it possible for the song's seemingly ironic lyrics ("You can try the best you can; the best you can is good enough") hit fully sincerely as good enough reason to keep on going.
    Sorry, got off on a tangent there, but very similar theme to No Suprises, although almost a complete inverse... No Suprises is the soothing positive song about settling for nothing you really wanted that feels like an ironic (and again-- ironically empowering!) rejection of its own premise.
