![]() The King of Limbs (2011) [ larger cover art ] |
Sleight of hand jump off the end
Into a clear lake, no one around
Just dragonflies flying to the side
No one gets hurt, you've done nothing wrong
Slide your hand, jump off the end
The water's clear and innocent, the water's clear and innocent

| G_Raffa (How far is all the way?) | Posted: Mar 25, 2013 - 09:03 Time to bump it from an 8 to a 9. I absolutely love listening to this. |

Mind you, most of Radiohead's songs sound like that to me. I might be wrong. But still, I think I will go with the more "uplifting" interpretation. |

I love it, too, because of the melancholy, haunting quality of the music. One more for my CD collection... Miss you so much, Cynaera... love this spooky song... this is a marvelous album... |

Maybe it is just me, but is it about masturbation? I thinks it's just you. if it was about masturbation the water would be neither clear nor innocent... |

I think I'm being assimilated by Thom Yorke - from wanting to slap him round the chops with a wet fish, I now find myself almost liking his songs. I think it must be some kind of subminal hypnotics weaved into the instrumentals... |

Major Sanderson sat back disappointedly. 'Do you like fish?' 'Not especially.' Unfortunately it is very possible that there will not be another - not for a long time, anyways. Who knows - Thom is a true artist - they all are - and they can and should change their minds all the time. I do agree that this one is a little, well, moody, maybe. Even for a slow RH song - that being said, there isn't a RH song under an 8 for me, I don't think. |

| calypsus_1 (East of Eden) | Posted: Jun 09, 2012 - 15:19 RadioHead: I still think that this group R.Head goes through a phase something errant, after watching a performance uninteresting, including pantomimes what the lead-singer went on to do while singing, difficult to digest, yesterday onstage at Bonnaroo. To make matters worse, the choice of the electronic lights scene is disappointing and distasteful, because deliberately obscures, almost impossible to visualize the members of the band in their work. Perhaps to disguise and distract from the poor quality of sound produced. Nah ..... Rodrigo & Gabriela and her band, excellent performance yesterday in Bonnaroo. They did a show with joy, vitality, harmony, augmented with by new beautiful musical nuances, using the possibilities offered by the band of support that helped. Five stars. |

Yeah, maybe they do... But... They also make a funeral cheerful compared to the misery displayed in most of their songs. You must be in the mood for their music. Not every hour of the day I like Radiohead. |

My favourite YouTube comment I saw about them: "Radiohead makes all other bands look childish." Not a bad tune, but that YouTube comment was probably written by a fifteen-year-old girl - not that there's anything wrong with that. |
