| Bob Dylan – Ballad of a Thin Man Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I agree with pretty much everybody here. I also agree with the beatles. I think Mr. Jones is a bit of a geeky guy with a lack of self-confidence, who isn't sure if he's gay or not, and he's suffering from his life. He hates it, he hates himself, he's just too scared of life. That feeling together with discovering your homosexual side seems, well, horrible to me. I think Jones is suicidal. | |
| Radiohead – Talk Show Host Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
It's about Romeo and Juliet (so not only Romeo...). I don't knowif you people like Shakespeare, but read the play, see the movie, it just fits perfectly. Radiohead have been asked to write this song for the movie, so they got to see the last half hour of it. With the inspiration from the movie they wrote this song... |

| Bob Dylan – Mr. Tambourine Man Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Mr. Tambourine Man is about drugs... probably about grass, but acid is a possibility as well... acid songs are often very different. But rainy day woman definitely isn't about drugs... it's more a kind of joke... you think it's a party song about drugs, but the harsh reality is that it's about stoning people... | |
| Radiohead – Go to Sleep. (Little Man Being Erased.) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I agree with the world war theory... One party calling the other one a monster and the other party caling them loonies... like Hitler versus Jews... | |
| Radiohead – Where I End and You Begin. (The Sky Is Falling In.) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Well, Radiohead used to make comments on todays world individually, if you know what I mean... Showing how strange this world really is with individual stories about love for example... On HTTT they started doing this on a 'higher' level... so I'll go with the God story. | |
| Radiohead – Thinking About You Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Yeah yeh the multiple interpretation thing about music is nice, but I'm offended by someone who listens to Radiohead and is still so shallow to call someone a pervert when that person tells them the truth... Come on, it's mentioned in several Radiohead biographies. I think people thinking that this song is about a relationship is Radioheads kind of humour... | |
| Radiohead – Sail to the Moon. (Brush the Cobwebs Out of the Sky.) Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Okay, let me share my views on this song (which is, in my opinion, the best song by radiohead and possibly the best song ever made). It's a song for his son, to teach him 'right from wrong'. Radiohead doesn't like the way the world is right know and they make songs about that, so the president thing is about nearly every president. The most important message in this song is probably something like 'pride comes before the fall'. The moon part is about reaching out to far and actually thinking you can do it (i spoke too soon) and then 'falling' (how much did it cost, i was dropped from moonbeams...) The ark story, in a way, has the same meaning. All the people were proud and ignorant, except for Noah. The message to his son is always to keep a clear mind. That way he will be able to make most of his life, and will maybe even reach what his father couldn't (the moon). Part of an interview with radiohead about Hail to the Thief: "We don't have to stand on a soap-box and preach because hopefully we're channelling it through the new record. We didn't start out to make a protest record at all. That would have been too shallow. As usual, it was simply a case of absorbing what's going on around us. The title of the record goes so much deeper than just being some anti-Bush propaganda. If we got into a situation where people start burning our records, then bring it on. That's the whole point. The Gloaming has begun. We're in the Darkness. This has happened before. Go read some history. If we were threatened in any way for simply making a piece of art - that would be bad. Then it would be time to move to somewhere obscure. Like the moon." |
