Radiohead — Karma Police

This is what you get
This is what you get
This is what you get when you mess with us

For a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself

Regina Spektor — No Surprises (Radiohead cover)

A heart that’s full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won’t heal
You look so tired-unhappy
Bring down the government
They don’t, they don’t speak for us
I’ll take a quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide

With no alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
Silent, silent

Radiohead — Feral

Radiohead released a digital copy of their album a day early because they are fucking BAMFs! Go get yours right now right here.

Radiohead — Nude

Don’t get any big ideas
They’re not gonna happen

You paint yourself white
And fill up with noise
But there’ll be something missing

Radiohead — Fake Plastic Trees (acoustic)

And it wears me out, it wears me out
It wears me out, it wears me out
If I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted
All the time, all the time

Radiohead — Karma Police

For me, music has always been a subjective experience. Music is what you make it to be.

Radiohead’s “Karma Police” to me has always been about losing yourself in a terrible relationship, regardless if that was the band’s intent or not. 

I’ve given all I can
It’s not enough

After a rather upsetting break-up (aren’t they all?) I turned this song on and everything I went through just made sense.
Or at least it made me feel better that someone had felt what I had at one point and had expressed it so much more poetically than I ever could.

And for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself

It also made me realize that I don’t ever want to
pretend to be someone I’m not just to please someone.
I know, I know, I know
that I want someone to love me for me and not for what they wish I could be.
It felt like a switch went off and I just understood—
understood that everything I went through was to reach this revelation.

Anyways, this rather long post came about because this song came on my playlist as I was walking home after class and I thought I’d share.
Tonight was perfect.
The cold cold breeze of an almost fall night coupled with the bright warm lights of the city made me feel oh-so-lucky to be 23 and alive
and young
and capable
and introspective
and free.

Radiohead - Weird Fishez (Rainydayz remix)

This version is sick. I love it.

Thom Yorke - Reckoner (acoustic solo)

Awesome version. (via crookedindifference)

Radiohead - High and Dry

Just came on my Pandora Radiohead Station. Heaven.

Radiohead — Faust Arp

Wakey wakey rise and shine
It’s on again off again on again
Watch me fall like dominoes
In pretty patterns
Fingers in the blackbird pie
I’m tingling tingling tingling

Radiohead — Lucky

The head of state
has called for me by name
but I don’t have time for him.
It’s gonna be a glorious day!
I feel my luck could change.

Regina Spektor — No Surprises (Radiohead cover)

Wow. Love this version almost as much as the Radiohead version! Regina Spektor, you are brilliant.
