Presumably some lefty whinge to do with refugees. |
||||||||
|
|

dont think so song is decades old, does seem to be some sort of on the nose metaphor though |

Creepy video. I like it. The Wicker Man is a film I've had on the computer for years, I really want to see it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes isnt it the one with Edward Woodwood, looks ace ive never seen it either, |
||||||||
|

just played, nice track and nice video, thanks for the link |
||||||||
|

I love the simplicity of the video, it kinds of bring us back when things were simpler and good. And the the music is also good, fantastic ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's what I thought |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's also what some prick from pitchfork thought. I'd love to hear you and LOL Explain! I don't see that at all, wether within the lyrics, or the clip. Someone who worked on the clip also mentioned the refugee crisis, but later admitted he had no idea what it was about after Radiohead distanced themselves from the comment. |

this cannot be about refugees, the puppet are all whites |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know you're not being sarcastic. That could be a part of a few of the only reasons why a stressed out, and scared person could see this as a reason this track could be a about the fucking "current refugee crisis", you fucking muppet. Talk about being a tool of the press, Dan, you fucking idiot. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Where does all your info come from, Dan? Imagine that said in a really slow, mocking tone. |

See you in Paris! |

Sorry, was blind drunk last night... 😐 |
||||||||

I was actually joking for once. I mean, it's vague enough to be about refugees, it's vague enough to be about anything. It could be to do with Edward Snowdon or ISIS (seeing as they do, you know, actually burn people they consider heretics, unlike fucking Daily Mail readers). |

thom yorke is a master of writing meaningless but portentous sounding lyrics, nonspecific enough so that idiots who know nothing about the world can feel thrilled and alarmed by having their misconceptions and prejudices stimulated. I think this is why Socrates wanted to have the poets ejected from his ideal society. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I enjoy Thom Yorke's lyrics, because I'm an idiot. The other new track is rather sweet. I like the meaningless lyrics too. |
||||||||
|
|

|
For me it's about mob mentality, surveillance. Pointing at the voters, not just the elected. I like the fact it isn't fucking Sartre. Peeps you can be such an arrogant, dismive know-it-all! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dismive? :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i've noticed that too, not on radiohead cos i don't know what they mean, but in italian music, they say vague shit so anyone can relate |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think singers write words, when they write, just because they sound in a certain way singed from them |
||||||||
|

I think you're right, it is probably "to do" with those things you mention. But then, I mean, we know we live in troubled times, we don't need Yorke obliquely alluding to "be careful what you say". To be honest, on reflection, I wish he had done a big off charity song for the jungle in Calais. I wish he'd called it "The Jungle in Calais" and the lyrics went All these people Just want to come to the UK I think they should be allowed in Because, you know, otherwise they have to stay in France. |

its probably about twitter mobs cos of the blue bird? |
||||||||
|

AMPI'S CRACKED IT! |

I can't wait for his withering criticism on how come Google Plus can't decide quite what it's meant to be. |
||||||||

damn, ampi |

Yeah read about that somewhere, Reddit, I think. What was the name of that journalist who posted a cynical tweet that the masses took wrongly as she was boarding a plane to a country in Africa? By the time the plane was landing a mob was waiting for her, and her employers had sacked her. I think it was something about her not getting AIDS because she was white. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think she spent a fortune on trying to get Google not to link to her, so we won't mention her name (or was that the woman who had a picture of her flipping the bird at some US veterans memorial, I don't know, it's in that Jon Ronson book on this subject). Her error was to to make an edgy joke that took a modicum of intelligence to appreciate, faced with a job lot of people actively seeking something to be offended by. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's also probably about Anita Sarkeesian and Zoe whatsername, who were being targeted by #gamergate on social networks, they got threatened by people who knew where they lived and sent them pictures of their homes and shit, hence "we know where you live" OK, I have a newfound appreciation for Thome Yorke now. I WAS WRONG!!!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Ah yes, Justine Sacco is her name. |
||||||||

Daydreaming is about his split with the partner he spent 23 years with. It is cryptic, but the creepy backward bit at the end is him saying "half of my life". Anyway, I'm sorry for being a grumpy guts! I get well touchy. |

This is Xltroninc, the last free place on the Internet, you can say what you like and no one will judge. Unless... "Burn the Witch".... is about... excessive moderation on Xltronic |

Was Thom Yorke B8'd here, back in the day? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Trust him to write a song about it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I bet he was a refugee in WATMM, banging on about "The Aphex Twin" he'd found out about fairly late in the day. Probably on Napster, looking if his own album was on there. |
||||||||
|

thanks for sharing. the song is a very nice surprise - both the vocals and the backing track = not annoying or over the top. MAYBE I'll come back to listening to them after a 16 years break. or I'll just wait for a super deluxe hits box future release containing all Radiohead instrumentals, without the whiny/moany/yawny Yorke's voice. Or I'll just play Blur's Think Tank again instead. |
