I dreamt I was on a ship, floating through space, to the Moon, and this song was playing.

Fine — go listen to Maria Callas.  This is rock and roll.  They all can't be Freddy Mercury.

Thom is the 5th instrument on every song.   Wonderful lyrics but more importantly the mood, the feel, the emotion.

He's a freaking genious musician IMHO.

 
Yup. And Thom is one helluva great guitar player too! Something I didn't realize until I saw them live. I always assumed Jonny and Ed were doing all the heavy lifting.

Unfortunately, I've heard a cat being strangled, and it's nothing like this. There is NO sound that can be compared to the sound of a cat being strangled. Just stop using this as a metaphor. It's horribly offensive. I prefer "A very bad violinist."

well, it's your taste, but I would recommend to listen to York's voice more like to an instrument. The Radiohead music is worth to try.

This song should be retitled to " Sail to Heaven" cause that's where I go when I listen to it.
Fantastic song!

that's suffering, from which dying is a release.

When I was in college taking calculus 1, a girl in the front row asked the teacher if she had to take the final (she was great in class and the final was optional). The teacher looked her straight in the eye and said " The only thing you have to do is die". She didn't get it.

I fell out of my seat with laughter!

I think a more rational response would be  that you would be frightened as you are dying, especially if you are in a car accident, in a fire, being eaten by a shark or a mountain lion. That's worth being frightened and quite reasonable.

Some here would pick apart a bright sunny day in April because it's too bright, too breezy and they don't like the UV exposure.

To each their own, I guess. Personally, I like being musically caught in the rain now and then. Helps cleanse the cultural palate and exposes me to new thoughts and emotions.

And Bill, Radiohead - Sail To The Moon into God is an Astronaut - A Deafening Distance was an excellent old-school progressive radio-type segue. Thanks!

Hauntingly beautiful....

I can understand not being in the mood for something like this if you are not a die-hard Radiohead fan and unfamiliar with it, but music is emotional and perhaps one day, if you were experiencing the emotion are trying to express in this song, you'd relate to it and enjoy it better - as with all music. There is a time and a place for everything. I enjoy the emotional diversity of this station...

Radiohead is obviously not a no-talent band, so it's pointless to tear them down like one. It is entirely concievable, however, that one could hate their sound.

Personally, I never liked them... until one day I REALLY liked them.

Q: What was the magic ingredient?

Radiohead's like cilantro - depending on who you are, it's either the greatest thing you ever tasted or it's an experience akin to eating a bar of soap. I think it's quite a testament to the quality and diversity of Radio Paradise that it draws listeners from both camps. 8)

You've got to be in the right space to listen to some of RH's songs - for instance if I was driving at night in my car I wouldn't want to hear this, but since I'm at work attempting to untangle why a phone trunk is down in Sonoma, then this song fits my mood perfectly.
And I love cilantro

Not bad, but as ever a shame about yer man's hideous whingeing, whiney voice. Wet haddock around the chops time again, I reckon. Radiohead would be fine without that awful high-pitched flat dirge polluting the instrumentals.
