Like Spinning Plates Lyrics
Artist(Band):Radiohead
While you make pretty speeches
I'm being cut to shreds
You feed me to the lions
A delicate balance
And this just feels like spinning plates
I'm living in cloud cuckoo land
And this just feels like spinning plates
Our bodies floating down the muddy river

Review about Like Spinning Plates
yeah | Reviewer: Tino | 2/1/2008One of my fave radiohead tunes. Both versions are wicked in their own way, the beauty of the piano live and the haunting synths of the studio. I hope to god they plaY this at Victoria Park in the summer!
On a side note, those looking for a good album,,,Fink - Distance and Time is the best thing I've found in the last 6 months save Radiohead. It's a grower and they're really really good live.
radiohead | Reviewer: Carlos | 1/26/2008
I listen to Radiohead by mistake when a neighbour droped me the Ok Computer album. I didn't speak much english by then, i was a fourteen year old guy from a small city of Argentina. I absolutely loved it, i was descovering music by then and bearly playn some guitar chords.
For years i only payed atention to the instrumental part of Radiohead, listened very carefully every part of the songs that made me feel like you guys, so hard to describe. As it changes on every song...
i can now bearly understand what Tom York took out of him, as perfec the sounds are, words are matched at the same perfect time.
Its simply the best union of sounds and words that a human mind ever gave to me and probably would ever give, and i'm entirely thankful for that.
by the way, Like spinning plates live version, as many others songs make me feel an inderscribable feeling that somethimes brings tears to me.
Tom York's album "The Eraser" its more of the same extraordinary music available for our delight
God | Reviewer: Paul | 1/20/2008
Its funny that you're wondering what other bands to listen to because just the thought of listening to anything other than radiohead is digusting. No other band is as emotional, brilliant and raw as radiohead. If you're looking for something other than listening to radiohead on your computer, i suggest you find out exactly where they're playing live next and fly or swim there. When I saw radiohead live i almost had a hard attack. It's simply more than a concert. Its an emotional rollercoaster in one night. They brought me to peace with amnesiac, to anger with the bends, to frustration with hail to the thief and to hallucination with kid a. They have formed, hands down, the best band of all time. If any one after this point is to form a band, it would be wise to follow in their footsteps. This is the music of the present and that of the future.
Crying: NOT just for girls! | Reviewer: N3rday | 12/14/2007
Radiohead is the only band that has managed to bring me to tears (other than perhaps Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album). And Radiohead has managed to do it with several songs.
Like Spinning Plates (LIVE), and The Pyramid Song are probably the two most emotional songs I can think of. It really is a shame that there are not more bands like Radiohead; I keep trying to get into new bands but they all seem so cheap and empty in comparison.
It'd be interesting to see what everyone here listens to other than Radiohead...I bet it would be some interesting stuff.
Spinning Plates | Reviewer: Nick Rice | 12/6/2007
This song epitomises the modern age for me. Never has the fragility of civilisation been captured so succinctly.
maybe the most beautiful song ever written (live version) | Reviewer: Nick | 11/8/2007
I have listened to both versions of this song and the studio version pales in comparison. They're both good but the live version is almost God like in the way it can evoke an emotional response. Simply put it maybe the most beautiful song ever written.
what can you say... | Reviewer: Andrew | 10/27/2007
I enjoyed reading these comments, as I just got home from driving and playing the live version very loudly over and over. This song hypnotises me every time and I always get confused when my eyes get watery. I have never understood why, but am glad to read that I'm not the only one.
The track 'Reckoner' from In Rainbows is having a similar effect on me... I'd love to hear a live version.
It has power | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/7/2007
Im listening to the live version and the song has hit me and made me think a bit too much about the way people treat me some times. In the original version i didn't have a clue.
Looking forward to the new album for more classics :)
EIGHT LINES | Reviewer: morgan tuffs | 8/12/2007
OH MY GOD. I'm a strange guy, in that I don't listen to music, unless it's on the radio or in the background. But I do play a lot. I actually prefer playing myself to listening to a CD. How then can I really say that Radiohead are the best band in the world? It's clear, I cannot, but that's just what all my feelings tell me: that this is the most powerful stuff I have ever heard in my life.
I heard this song for the first time two days ago. It won't leave me. Jesus Christ there are only 8 lines, but it's crushing me - I've got tears in my eyes. It's the live version, and he makes two mistakes, so to speak. They're the two most perfect mistakes I've ever heard.
existential vacuum put to music | Reviewer: brian murphy | 8/10/2007
I just bought some Beyer dynamic studio headphones, and have been testing them on various tunes in my collection. I decided to try "Like Spinning Plates" and it is just amazing.
When Amnesiac came out, it struck me as a logical conclusion to what started with OK Computer as a trip down the tail end of existential hopelessness. OK Computer shows man with an utter inability to cope with modern life, but still noticeably part of it. With Kid A, what had been wrong has continued to go awry, and man has crossed a point of no return -- into abstraction.
This process has never been more brilliantly brought to its extreme end, in music I have heard, than by Radiohead in Amnesiac. Amnesiac is the auditory diary of man utterly lost, and "Like Spinning PLates" may as well be the iconic sound of a man floating numb in the abyss.
It could accompany the astronaut in 2001 Space Odyssey floating irretrievably in the vacuum of space. It could have accompanied the final scene for Mark Wahlberg in "Perfect Storm" when he is floating on the hurricane waves in the engulfing sea, etc.
I have to think hard of another song that does this state of mind justice, and the only one that comes to mind is "nobody home" by Pink Floyd / Roger Waters.
But, in Radiohead the words seem incidental. In fact, I had thought the words were gibberish up to "and this just feels like...", and the words above match the music perfectly.
This song would also be perfect for someone who is broken and lost -- such as Michael Jackson in Never Land, or Howard Hughes shut in the hotel suite.
The song is definitely a sonic masterpiece, and I wonder why it has not received more attention as such.
