Makes perfect sense! Thx mate. "Ugh, it is about a suicide, but only as a metaphor. The whole no surprises is how people trade in their objections to the wrongs that they see all around them for a quite life with no surprises. Instead, they focus on material things ie the pretty house and garden because it is obtainable and sanctioned by society. The song is the final fit/belly ache before they give up their objections and fall into the quiet life and betray their past convictions." no money | Reviewer: jon dough | 10/28/08 dude your a fuckign fag they dont make their songs for depresed teens they obviously need a audience just like any other fuckgin band would. i dont like you and i never will, fuckign douche bag. there awsome depresed people making music. fuck off. It doesn't matter | Reviewer: miesi | 10/22/08 I think, it doesn't actually matter wether this song is just a clever strategy or not- the only thing, that depends for me, is how the song is related with me and my life. Who cares really, what people thougt writing a song? Nobody but them, if I knew it, it wasn't my song anymore, so I don't mind being fished... No Surprises | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/14/08 Wow. A couple comments down someone made a comment about Radiohead writing songs for money, indirectly of course. What a ridiculous thing to say. I say HA! That is my response to that. Of all bands to write songs for money, radiohead. AH HAHAHAHAHA. Oh yeah. I'm sure they were doing that, because clearly they care so much about money that when In Rainbows came out, they let you pick how much you wanted to pay for it. Oh giggle me timbers. No Surprises | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/14/08 Whoa! Who ever thinks Radiohead is a band that writes teenager relevant songs so they can make money is a rather large sized moron. Considering when In Rainbows came out, fans were given the option to choose how much to pay, something tells me that the last thing Radiohead is worried about is money. - | Reviewer: Sight | 10/7/08 I won't deny it, he's a sad man. This song makes me happy though. Because the writer does not make the meaning. And to me, this song is about making the choice to be happy in a world that is designed to work against you. Radiohead - No surprises | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/3/08 I think it means, sadness. But above all, I think this person's world view is a coutdown. I think they depended on things very strongly, like we all do. And then those things failed him, didn't show, they were no longer what he should depend on to keep his hopes high. And when he figures it out that those things aren't what he needs, he becomes a state of emotion that this song highlights. But after this point of emotion, he'll find something else to depend on, and life will continue. We ALL go through it, and we all need to be sad sometimes. And nothing's better then something thats right, or understands. I personally LOVE this song, but I won't be going under the hill any time soon. Well I think... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/23/08 I like to think it's about some middle-aged guy who seemingly has everything, but one day he up and kills himself by running the car in his garage. No alarms, no surprises. Just a quiet end to another meaningless life. After all, we're all pretty insignificant in the grand scheme of things. Is that kinda depressing? It doesn't matter, really. The song means to me whatever I want it to mean. Just like it might mean something different to you. We only go around once on this crazy world. For me it's a message to live my turn to the fullest, and never take a damn thing for granted. OH PLEASSEEEEE!!! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/19/08 Simply one of the saddest, most depressing Radiohead songs around. But lets face it a lot of them are. To be able to write a song that rhymes, tells a story, and has and overarching meaning is... hard. Everyone wants to escape; school, work, people, even "Everything at all" from time to time. I cant speak for Thom York, but being frustrated with things you cant change seems to be at least a part of this song, and if being depressed, tired, and fed-up allows radiohead to write beautiful, all-be-it "sad"songs, more power to them. know one says you have to listen to them all the time. Listen to Gwen Steffani or Avril Lavigne if u are in the mood for something a bit lighter "OH Please" philosophy teenager kid. And whats wrong with a little melancholy? cant pretend to be happy all the time, even if you can play it off in front of others. As well as Radiohead marketing to/exploiting depressed teens through the unfair tactic of relation to lament, i call B.S. Why would R.H's Latest C.D "In Rainbows" be freely priced for consumers if they were just concerned with "shooting fish in a barrel." In conclusion listen to em if you want to, but don't say you are part of "Radiohead's proverbial barrel of money." Dont say u have anything to do with them if this is what you think. NOt a song by Britney spears, or J.T, i like to think there in it for more than just the money. I think | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/17/08 I believe this song is just his view on his life. It does sound suicidal but the song is awsome and if you think about it, this song can relate to all of of when we feel we are down to our final straw. Does anyone agree?
