I never knew Thom worked in a mental institution before... It was a shocker to browse through this thread and find out that he did :o. Going through my course right now and getting a chance to come into contact with some patients in hospital with mental illness, and also finally seeing the lyrics... It's amazing how much the words and style are reminiscent of the various mental disorders and how much HTTT could've been influenced by Thom's experience working with mentally ill people. A prime example is "A Wolf At The Door".

 

------

A Wolf At The Door

drag him out the window

dragging out your dead

singing i miss you

snakes and ladders

flip the lid

out pops the cracker <---- 'flight of ideas' and typical 'clang associations' of mania

smacks you in the head

knifes you in the neck

kicks you in the teeth

steel toe caps

takes all your credit cards

step up get the gunge <--- The way he sings this section demonstrates "pressure of speech" in manic people

get the eggs

get the flan in the face

the flan in the face

the flan in the face

dance you fucker dance you fucker

don't you dare

don't you dare

don't you flan in the face <---- repetitive 'verbal stereotypies'

take it with the love its given

take it with a pinch of salt

take it to the taxman

let me back let me back

i promise to be good <---- more 'flight of ideas' and 'clang associations'

don't look in the mirror

at the face you don't recognize

help me call the doctor <--- 'loosening of associations' in schizophrenia / severe psychiatric disorder

put me inside

put me inside

put me inside

put me inside

put me inside

i keep the wolf from the door

but he calls me up

calls me on the phone

tells me all the ways that he's gonna mess me up

steal all my children

if i don't pay the ransom

but i'll never see him again

if i squeal to the cops <---- taken literally, this part demonstrates paranoid delusions typical of schizophrenia

walking like a giant crane and

with my x ray eyes i strip you naked

in a tight little world and are you on the list?

stepford wives who are we to complain? <--- 'loosening of associations' again

investments and dealers investments and dealers

cold wives and mistresses.

cold wives and sunday papers.

It's chilling to realise how closely the songs mirror typical abnormal psychiatric symptoms and this has given me a whole new dimension in looking at the their music and the way I listen to it, esp. HTTT. Now I know where all the depths of their darkness come from. An upside is that I now have a more fun / interesting way of studying psychiatry :D

only for hardcore fans

Pop rock band, Radiohead, are playing the critically-acclaimed show, The OC, in the next season to promote their new album, yet untitiled. This episode will feature Seth and Ryan proposing to Summer and Marisa, and then leaving to a concert in Anaheim.

 

lol

hah! ^^

 

 

okay...'gentleparachute'

 

First...that is wow how you work with metal patients. While i have been to an institute to visit a mental family member, I don't have the physchiatric understanding that you have.

 

Second...that is an intersting thing to find. Lyrics that match what you seem to be studying for. It must be a good feeling.

Jesus, have I ever posted in here? It's kind of pathetic that I haven't....

 

 

Anyways. I put my Radiohead bumper sticker on my car today. My jeep is officially sexy now. In honor of this great moment (my first bumper sticker ever!) I've been listening to them for probably....... fuck, about 4 hours straight now.

 

 

For someone with musical ADD, this is a big deal. LMFAO!

 

/done with random ass post

Wow.. that's about as gay as it gets :shifty:

 

can't believe his hair was ever this way!!! Nice outfit though, i dig it and i would wear it...

 

I really thought the devil was going to kill me when I saw this very part film!

 

Best part ....EVER...

 

 

 

Johnny is the same old same old... hardly ever catch a glimpse of his pretty face.

 

but thanks anyway. It really is for hardcore Radiohead fans that want to catch them at their smashing-est ey?

I always found the lyrics to Exit Music (for a film) as interesting song to define. . . . as a guy, I thought the song was basically a conversation between a guy and a girl running away from home. . .

 

"Wake... from your sleep

The drying of your tears

Today.. we escape

We escape.

 

Pack and get dressed

Before your father hears us

Before.. all hell.. breaks loose."

 

 

But talking to a female, she understood the lyrics as a mother talking to her children. . . . interesting views from the different sexes. . . . ..

 

"Wake... from your sleep

The drying of your tears

Today.. we escape

We escape.

 

Pack and get dressed

Before your father hears us

Before.. all hell.. breaks loose."

 

 

I was right though, this was from the Romeo & Juliet film!

 

really?? I never knew it was used in the movie!! But I always thought it was about death.... which is fitting, given the way it was used in the movie... :P

^ where did you hear that?

yeah, i dont think it comes out this month? :huh:

yeah' date=' i dont think it comes out this month? :huh:[/quote']

 

autumn in my opinion

according to this article..... no release date has yet been established...

 

Radiohead Eyeing Multiple Night Stands

 

 

April 07, 2006, 10:30 AM ET

 

Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.

Radiohead is eyeing multiple-night stands in Montreal, Toronto, Philadelphia and Chicago as part of its summer North American tour, which will get underway in June, Billboard.com has learned. Dates, venues and an opening act are still being finalized. For now, the lone confirmed show is a June 17 headlining set at the Bonnaroo festival in Manchester, Tenn.

 

Radiohead has not performed in the United States since it headlined California's Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival almost two years ago. As previously reported, the band begins a European tour May 5 in Copenhagen. International headlining and festival dates will resume Aug. 12 in Budapest.

 

Following the expiration of its contract with longtime label EMI, the band has been working on a new studio album for several months. In a recent interview with NME, frontman Thom Yorke said Radiohead will not sign a new deal until the as-yet-untitled album is complete.

 

"I think it's a nutty situation to be in to have no definite release system," he said. "It's really liberating not to feel part of the record company structure. It should be an extremely positive place to be in but it's also an extremely strange situation to be in."

aaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuutttttummm ! man :rolleyes: who can wait that long!?!

^ me myself and i :dozey:

 

i'll wait till kingdom come :dozey:

by then, whats the point?! God will eat you by then!

 

 

 

tee hee

they're still working on the new album and only 3-4 songs were announced as new album songs (Arpeggi, Nude, 5th Reverse and House Of Cards)...so i think give them time to 'perfectalize' the new lp

oh, how I wish things like this would not take soo long :cry2:

i don't mind if their stuff will kick ass :O

see that is the deal... you won't know if the wait was worth it :confused:

Nude is one of their best songs ever, Arpeggi is awesome too

5th Reverse might be 'Jonny's techno' and House of Cards is OK too ;)

 

so i don't think it can be shite

see that is the deal... you won't know if the wait was worth it :confused:

 

 

its Radiohead!!!! Of course its worth it... I haven't heard one shite Radiohead song yet...

aaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuutttttummm ! man :rolleyes: who can wait that long!?!

 

Hey that's optimistic already... Some music sources are predicting next year!!! :o Now that, would be long.
