The Reviews about No Surprises (page 7/ 11)
------ performed by Radiohead
fan bloody tastic | Reviewer: Jellyhed | 2/10/08
One of the best songs ever written, by one of the worlds best ever musicians on the best album he has produced (to date).
Radiohead are without doubt one of the finest bands to walk this planet, No Surprises makes me feel sad and Joyful at exactly the same time.
A beautiful song, sung with so much emotion and feeling By Thom Yorke.
FAN BLOODY TASTIC!!!!
the meaning | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/1/08
this is about a man who kills himself in his car with carbon monoxide poisoning
"I'll take a quiet life, a handshake of carbon monoxide"
when he is saying "Such a pretty house and such a pretty garden" his spirit is floating up and he is looking over his house and neighborhood.
sad song
quiet life in a house with garden , no alarm no surprises | Reviewer: salman | 1/29/08
it's a very beautiful song... sad and desperate
it's like someone with pain that wont heal
he gave up everything in life , he doesnt believe in government
he want to live in such pretty house and pretty garden
take a quiet life... and that house is a grave with garden
( i just looked this beautiful images of graves in a garden)
so beautiful..so quiet.. no alarm and no surprises

I love this song. I never get tired of hearing it. And it doesn't matter what kind of mood I am in, this song is so sobering and uplifting to me. Justaposition in feelings just like the lyrics are to the music, imho.
I just appreciate life a bit more everytime I listen. I appreciate the little things that make my life great. That's what it means to me.
my final bellyache | Reviewer: Ann | 1/23/08
this is such a pretty song. I think it's about choosing to dye and beind peaceful with it.
the first verse [before death] details the trouble that comes with being alive.
"You look so tired-unhappy...they don't speak for us" is what people tell him - that's how they cope with being unhappy, they find something to live for, something to fix. he says he has no need for that. he's not like the rest of them. all he wants is quiet(death - carbon monoxide)
"This is my final fit,
my final bellyache" - committing suicide (or maby writing this song) is he's last ordeal. [just before]
"Such a pretty house
and such a pretty garden." - after. that's what people would say about him, that his life where so nice and normal. just like in the first verse, they wouldn't understand.
it's a sad song but kind of optimistic in my opinion
no surprise this song is so good | Reviewer: omegatux | 1/22/08
To me this song is about giving up on life an all of it's bullshit, when he talks about the house & garden I think he means that
there's more in life than material things.
the guy feels he has such a miserable life that nobody will get alarmed or surprised when he's gone
I'll take a quite life | Reviewer: Alexander (Laika) | 1/21/08
I think all the reviews so far have helped me make sense of the song. I relate to it in terms of my own desire to live the idealistic life that I envisaged when I was a kid. But having set out to climb that mountain only to fall back down to earth, having "loved and lost" etc... Perhaps I'll take a quite life instead. I dont want anymore alarms or surprises. Perhaps I'll take up smoking again because I used to enjoy it even though they will kill me sooner than otherwise and I wont be able to see my pretty house and garden... but I dont care about that anymore, cos I want out. I didn't ask for any of this. I'll take a quite life from now.
Such a pretty house and such a pretty garden | Reviewer: Iggy | 1/19/08
For me this song's lyrics looks like the first part is describing life like how it is nowadays, and saying that in despite of everything i still take a quiet life, no matter how much CO (carbon monoxide) i have to breathe anyways.
Nothing's a surprise, no need to alarm about nothing.
And the part "Such a pretty house and such a pretty garden" it's like when you're writing a song, said everything you wanted, and suddenly the true inspiration comes, you realize how life is beautiful, and stay without words to describe it. It's when you come with those lines that it seems like no one can understand, like "can't no one see that this house is so pretty? And this graden?"
I can't stop playing it on the guitar.

To be honest, I think that the song is beautiful but that it doesnt matter too much about what the songs original meaning was. It has a personal meaning to myself and I think thats what musics about...To create your own unique meaning...or...I could just be talking baws!
However..Radiohead are amazing..and just..very influential =]
Suicide? | Reviewer: way out | 1/8/08
It’s all about hunger and government trying to pull their plans out of life of the people ("This is my final fit, my final bellyache"). It's about different types of person feeling the same in their own country. It’s about being tired of the same old stuff, the same tricks that are always performed. Try to relate electioneering with this one and you could have an idea. I think it has nothing to do with suicide; it has a meaning of rebellion and own ideal.
