It makes me cry every time it gets to "She looks like the real thing" because I am in the same situation being in love yet not being good enough for her. Raw truth and false ideas... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/13/08 I feel this song so deeply in my core. I was a stripper for a little while and was severely abused by a boyfriend that told me I needed breast implants to be more attractive than I already was.... I had nursed a child and my already small breasts, he said, could use a little something..... because of my deeply esoteric and spiritual nature, I found this option horrifying and "fake" and it was so sad to me that this was what someone who I thought loved me told me, even as we were both "hippies". I didn't have any girlfriends at the time and I sucombed to the negative control that he exerted on me and I did it.... I went under the knife. I came out of it devastated and took them out right away feeling mamed and defeated and worn thin, and then put them back in again after I realized I would never be the same again.... I had been scarred for life, because I did not trust myself enough to go my own way and yet, if someone were to look at me, they would never know this....it is not obvious, but every relationship I have been in since then, I have had to explain the pain of feeling that there is something"fake" about me, when really, there is nothing but raw, deep truth and painful experience that allowed me to truly understand women, men, humanity better and I am far wiser having gone through this.... the men I have been with have known my story and almost cared deeper for me because I have the courage to understand the lesson....but it wears me out..... to talk about it, to process it... to be a product of someone elses false idea of beauty, or their need to control my idea of my own..... in the end, I have no longer the desire to be near anyone who would judge such a thing...but it wears me out to think about it all... the feeling of falseness in the world merging itself into my body and then having to be a strong enough person to recognize the difference between truth, illusion, and experiential wisdom... I love this song because I had never heard anyone write a song that so clearly described my experience with such delicacy and meaning, even if that was not what Thom was talking about. Wow | Reviewer: Jon | 1/1/08 I've just watched them doing this at Glastonbury in 2003, When he gets to "She looks like the real thing" You can tell Thom is forcing the words out. Beautiful. wow | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/18/07 wow this song is sooo beautiful i dont even understand it fully but apparantly he cried when recording the lyrics for the song, and im trying not to cry while listening to it...sounds so sad... i think its about a relationship that was fake? i dunno but someone else should reply to me if they feel the same thing about this song Oxford, please! | Reviewer: Asteorid | 12/3/07 oh my God you're all still going on about Anonymous 9/18/2007, the date's almost famous! Haha, and yes, you are all being silly. Who cares if they are Oxford graduates or not, and the song speaks about unreachable expectations, so stop expecting Oxford graduates to be geniuses anyway! This song can conjure up a tear in anyone so just appreciate that if nothing else! He is not an Oxford graduate! | Reviewer: Matt | 11/18/07 Hate to get into all this, but since people are being silly I thought I would, too: Why does everyone say Thom Yorke is an Oxford graduate? Thom Yorke is not an Oxford graduate. He is an Exeter graduate who happened to live in Oxfordshire. I know this because I am also an Exeter graduate from Oxfordshire. Exeter graduates, unlike Oxford graduates, don't particularly have a reputation for being bright, so go easy! And for the record, great song. Yay | Reviewer: Jovo | 11/7/07 This song was amazing when they played it live at Bonnaroo in 2006. If you ever have a chance to see them play, sell anything you own to get there. It'll be worth it. Oh yea, and that was a huge dick move by the spelling guy. We're all here because we like the song. one more | Reviewer: Jovo | 11/7/07 Sorry to write another, but I needed to demonstrate the Oxford grad's spelling to someone: "i was told yesterday..." "we were playing THe Tourist at the end of the show.. and yyes we did wander what..." "infact if i had known all this..." These are from Thom on Radiohead's site. Pretentious bastard. :) | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/6/07 love this song, thom is an absolute fucking genius. and that guy who wrote about someone not being able to spell is an ignorant asshole.
