He posted it in a forum and underneath the song title, he wrote "good bye" in white font, so you'd have to highlight the text to even see it. I can't listen to this song anymore. I tried, and I cry. I can't help it. It's brilliant, but I can't do it. there is no other song like this | Reviewer: Chester A | 5/28/09 In my opinion, How to disapear completely and Street Spirit are on the highest level of songwriting. Both of them reveal to you what Thom Yorke is really made of (not trying to single him out, like I said an unprecidented singer songwriting level). Collin Greenwood's bass line is brilliant here. I believe that he is the most overlooked of the band and is of the same musical maturity of his brother. The lyrics are about a dream that Thom had, but the atmospheric arpeggios and subtleties are what really draw us in. Every time I hear this, I completely get the chills on the exterior, while being filled to the brim with warmth in my stomach (no bs, honestly). Music always tends to rip out and expand upon what we are experiencing right now. If you truly sympathize with Radiohead, because you have already undergone simular experiences, I do not believe that you will become depressed upon it's listening (that is not to say that Radiohead never get's depressed upon performing it). Those of us who have wrestled with depression since what seems to be the beginning of time, will be overjoyed to find someone... on the other side of the world, with a simularly overly complicated collection of emotions and a never-ending assortment of conflicting thoughts. It is completely soothing to me. I hear someone who has become totally free, and has now been released from their own personal struggles, ...even if for just a moment. Excellent song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/24/09 This song is a great one, it is one of those songs that say what you feel, I can't denny the powerful connection that it has to my life and what I'm living... That there, that's not me... althoguh I think that Creep fans should listen other songs like Where I end and You begin or Just or Reckoner who knows... they are full of great songs. hypnotizing | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/9/09 I don't know how many times I've been driving to work with Kid A in the CD player, stressing about going to work, then suddenly 'waking up' at the end of this song, right as Thom hits that howling note and the music returns to a smooth melody. I don't ever remember the song even starting! I'm never really asleep, but just zoned out. I still wonder if it's safe to drive and listen to this album, but at least I'm not stressed about work afterward ;) The One | Reviewer: Ben | 5/1/09 In my opinion, this is the song that huge Creep fans really need to hear. Especially watching Thom sing it live in Paris with perfect audio (look on YouTube for the "fabiocchi" one), it's not hard to be taken to another place. All of my friends who psychologically can't stop taking weed laugh at how I say I don't need drugs to get high, but it's true. Also, there are emotions expressed in "How to Disappear Completely" that I had felt deeply years before I actually heard the song. Listening to it served as an outlet to those feelings. @I like Radiohead: I understand your point, but what you need to understand is that a) it takes many listens to get to the point of spiritual intensity we're talking about and b) Radiohead just cannot be compared to other bands! First of all, there's the extreme versatility of their style, going (in In Rainbows) from Bodysnatchers to Nude to Weird Fishes fairly seemlessly. Then, there's the depth of the lyrics and the way they identify with people who might not always identify with lyrics. fucking amazing... | Reviewer: Jaciel | 4/24/09 just dont have words for it. so MANY feelings. I feel like Im on some kind of drug when listening to this while being so fucking alone in my house after realizing that there is no chance for me to love or be loved because every friend I had has left this place and everything is so fucked up..life is just getting everyday so freakin hard...but I still.."I can drug myself with music".. just love the song WOW | Reviewer: CHris | 4/18/09 Thats the power of music it grasp ur emotions and rips them out of ur brain and shows them to the out side world in ther words whith music its impossible to hide ur emotions im tired of all deze people that bash on a aliented depressing song the will only understand wen it happens to them and probaly be on here commenting how great the song is..... Completely alone... | Reviewer: Manuel | 4/2/09 When I moved from my home town to a big city in order to study my masters, I left everything I loved… By the other hand, everything there disappointed me, people, school, the city itself… this song was for a long time like my own anthem… Radiohead are more than Musicians, they are genius ! I like radiohead too | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/2/09 hey 'i like radiohead'... who are you to say what effect this song can or can't have on somebody?...just because it doesn't affect you in the same way, doesn't mean it can't be the that way for someone else. I want this song played at my funeral. Complexly layered beyond belief, chaotic and a cacophony, but so beautiful | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/2/09 I'll listen to it on endless repeat. It starts with a dischord very subtlely. Then the lilting accoustic guitar waltzes. The thread of Yorke's haunting voice holds together the distorted strings and diving electric guitar. A majestic beautiful world of the surreal opens and swallows all around. The words have no meaning in themselves to begin with, but then then at 'Liffey' the subtle string dischord underlying everything melts away very cleverly and appropriately, like a before and after of drinking your first Liffey water ( ie Guiness). All becomes clear again until the words 'blown speaker' , again appropriate. Chaos again rises with discordant, wanderingly strings, all held by the glue of a long vowel weeping, yawing in distant echo from Yorke. Then peace and harmony returns on one single note on a forceful yet peaceful and haunting note from Yorke, pulling everything back into a masterful harmony. This powerfully moving masterpiece from geniuses. If the listener is not moved in some way, it's the listener who that was never there. This extraordinary, complex but completely clear song rivals the best ballards, the best arias. It makes me disappear complely. I can walk through walls. And I'm gone. For as long as I want.
