"Then we thought of 'Happiness [Is a Warm Gun] - which was obviously three different bits that John Lennon put together - and said, 'Why don't we try that?'" "After being asked if the song was about the Fall of the Roman Empire, Thom adopted this explanation, but other band members have likened the lyrics of the track to those of "The Bends." On one level, the lyrics are absurd; on another, they're quite serious." -www.greenplastic.com (a radiohead site) "Some of the lyrics were written after Yorke went to a Los Angeles bar and saw a high woman screaming after another patron accidentally spilled a drink on her, becoming the "kicking squealing gucci little piggy" of the song. The title may reference the depressed robot Marvin from Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, while the line, "When I am king you will be first against the wall" may pay tribute to the Hitchhiker's Guide description of the marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as "a bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes." - wikipedia but even before I had read this, Radiohead's stuff made sense to me. I don't exactly know why, and of course I judge their stuff with my own reference frame, their music may have a complete different meaning, who knows. I don't entirely understand it either but somehow it all makes sense, even if you can't put the lyrics in their original context, still the feeling remains. And that, to me, is the Radiohead brilliantness. Putting the emotions and events into music without losing bits and pieces on the way to the listener. If it weren't for this band, I don't think I would be the same person as I am today Just go beyond the notes.... | Reviewer: D | 4/27/07 In my opinion, it´s one of the best songs of Radiohead, and personally, the lyrics and the music has the perfect balance in order to say something. It´s prophetic in some kind of way (don´t ask, I only sense it that way). Images from GITS come to my mind..... Eh... | Reviewer: Michelle | 4/18/07 This song is beautiful, the lyrics are pretty good... but I think the lyrical genius would be Maynard. "I am too connected to you to slip away, to fade away. Days away I still feel you touching me, changing me, and considerately killing me." -Some of the best lyrics I've EVER heard. awesome | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/6/07 probably one of the koolest songs of the 90s...... it's so experimental it's not quite punk and it's not metal either and it's defintly not grunge i don't know what it is but this is an awesome song Influence | Reviewer: volcanosam@aol.com | 3/15/07 Me being age 14 I am in a world not known of this music. However luckily having a brother of the age of 19 I have been introduced to such music. This song and other songs by radiohead seem to talk about the life around my age. I think this song played a huge role in my life that and has helped me think about my actions and thoughts. Thank you RadioHead system of a down and rage dynamic? | Reviewer: Frizzy | 3/2/07 SOAD and rage are 2 of the most repetitive bands of all time. Rage is just an output for De La Roache, and SOAD is a bunch of turkish druggies screaming out random nonsense with excessively bland and repetitive riffs. On another note, paranoid android is not an incredibly melodic tune. A melody is purely non repetitive, and the main riff in android is most definitely prevalent. Still a great song though. Radiohead Boring? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/16/07 Just for writing that, you desreve the death penalty. i mean, if Robbie Williams is your shit, that's your problem, but to insult a band which is probably one of the most influencial and creative of the last 50 years is blasphemy and unnacceptable. Radiohead's music is moving, penetrating your soul, and never predictable. This is for me a band that desreves its entry to the hall of fame, with such LedZep, Pink Floyds, The rollin Stones, Beatles, Jimmy Hx, Joplin... Ok Pc | Reviewer: Lucio V. B. | 2/20/07 It´s the finest piece of art ive ever heard But, i think you cant compare music with music. Or say... hey this sounds just like this or that, or, is the prefect match 4 this song or artist. Radiohead is Radiohead, Queen was Queen and Tito & The Tarantulas play Mexican Rock Song´s. Keep it simple, keep it clean, keep it gay... um | Reviewer: paranoid android | 2/10/07 i'm sorry but i'm not so easily sold. i don't always worry about lyrics because if i did, i wouldn't like half the music i do. i mean, lyrically, i can't really relate to a band like rage against the machine or system of a down but musically they're so dynamic that i can't help but like them. i personally don't mind radiohead's music but who knows what the heck they're trying to say in their lyrics. i mean, honestly, their lyrics make little to no sense. maybe i'm just a goof who likes really straight-forward lyrics that i don't have to spend thirty years trying to dissect to find something of value. i mean, i could write a couple pages of gobbly gook about my pet chicken eating pork roasts and pooping out digital cameras and i think some people would consider my lyrics to be brilliant. no, i don't think thom yorke is a lyrical genius at all. but i would not switch off radiohead's music when it comes in loud and clear on my radio because of their music, not because of yorke's supposed lyrical genius. radiohead= pooh | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/9/07 i think radiohead might be the most BORING band ever. sounds like zesty elevator music to me Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9
