About schizophrenia? Hm, I always imagined that the narrator was a stalker who was stalking one of his "friends" and had some slight phaedophilic tendencies. :uhoh: But schizophrenia seems a possibility. It's not an easy subject to write about.

 

 

I see like Thom was the other, somehow evil, sick persona of the person singing to the other persona.

And either way you turn, Ill be there, open up your skull

Ill be there, climbing up the walls

^ yes, actually it does seem like that, but then the lines So lock the kids up safe tonight doesn't make much sense. Because I think that if the evil side of the same person was speaking And either way you turn

I'll be there to the other persona, then suggesting to lock up his house, those the good persona loved ... would be pretty useless. Unless that was the echo of the good side of that person.

it is and, I just took that form some page, didn'ät check it carefully enough. But Maybe to lock the kids safe tonight because the evil persona could do something to them

just read this from wikipedia:

Thom Yorke has commented on the song, saying "This is about the unspeakable. Literally skull-crushing. I used to work in a mental hospital around the time that Care in the Community started, and we all just knew what was going to happen. And it's one of the scariest things to happen in this country, because a lot of them weren't just harmless... It was hailing violently when we recorded this. It seemed to add to the mood. Some people can't sleep with the curtains open in case they see the eyes they imagine in their heads every night burning through the glass. Lots of people have panic buttons fitted in their bedrooms so they can reach over and set the alarm off without disturbing the intruder. This song is about the cupboard monster"

 

yeah so basically the cupboard monster is the violent "dark side" of the person?

^ My opinion is that Thom sang from the monster's point of view with lines such as 'you know we're friends till we die' and 'I got the smell of the local man, who got the loneliest feeling' and 'either way you turn, I'll be there, open up your skull'.

See, cupboard monsters will scare someone everytime, even until they die.

And they're quite lonely as they're scary. And opening up skulls must be their hobby.

I love that vapoursbrothers website

probably. or it is only a metaphor for this person's fear. a paranoic one, that is ...

CUTW is about schizophrenia isn't it. I know that Thom was inspired by the mental hospital where he worked in...

 

"you and I are friends till we die"

That's right. I only read it, but yes.

:laugh3: I didn't think what it was about. :laugh3: I just really liked the song. So... Dunno...

Yes, I thought so as well... I concluded that from what you said above.

That makes a lot of sense. :)

well those about children came to my mind a bit later than the stalker part.

I often skip this song; it's a bit too scary for me. :uhoh:

 

btw, what's this cheescake about? :lol: I've been wondering for a couple of days about that...

yess!! can somebody explain? i'd like to know, too. :)

does someone have the song "Big Boots" in good quality?

i'm wonding whose laughter it is in India Rubber... sounds so...insane

 

It's not jonny who laughs in it, i read somewhere it was a man they know. Cant find it back.

 

And i dont think there is a good quality of big boots..Just the version from meeting people is easy

 

I had so much reading stuff to do on this thread

I went to pinkpop :D It was so great..the only thing i missed were Saybia and Radiohead. The best acts were: Muse, Wolfmother, The kooks, Snow Patrol, Smashing Pumpkins and Within temptation.

I hope so much to see radiohead at lowlands or mayb next year at pinkpop.

you are welcome!:)

i love that song. :dance:

well i got my HTTT copy today and i just finished listening to it, comparing this first listen with the first listen of Kid A i like HTTT much better.

How is it possible? What do you like more?

well i got my HTTT copy today and i just finished listening to it, comparing this first listen with the first listen of Kid A i like HTTT much better.

 

that'll soon change

 

kid A is superior in my opinion

 

although sail to the moon is a great song

 

to an extent httt is underrated

 

i don't hold out much hope for the new album

i don't hold out much hope for the new album

 

I'm putting all my hope in it, haha :stunned:

hmm the new songs aren't much cop to be honest

We'll see.

 

I think the songs will have gone through many different shapes and sizes.

 

When I saw them live, they sounded ok, with Arpeggi standing out a mile - it really built up beautifully and felt very powerful.

i like videotape

 

by far the best new song imo

Hm, I swore that I would buy it instead of downloading the leaked version. But hm, Arpeggi and Videotape are the best IMO, the others didn't really stand out. But who knows; they might not even put others on the lp and surprise us with something greater.
