Review about I Am A Wicked Child ------Performed by Radiohead | 04/01/2007 11:00:00 AM Solid B-Side This song follows a pretty constant theme. It implies the story of a once religious person gone astray. The song's musical style is a sort of blues-y rock n' roll style. I perceived this as a sort of bad-to-the-bone approach. The vocal style seems a bit unapologetic, if the lyrics at all do. At the end of the song, Yorke sings "send baby jesus, to radiate his light." This is not pronounced explicitly; perhaps Yorke is saying "...to radiate his lie." instead. A not-so-subtle slight on Christianity, Radiohead seems to think that overzealous individuals may not have it all right. Perhaps there are more important things in our lives than whether or not we adhere to one religion or another. Thanks to riley for submitting the review.
