Review about My Iron Lung haha | Reviewer: ATD | 1/7/09 RRT fails at his knowledge - even a quick look at the wiki article says that it was a reaction to their success with Creep - the lyric "This, this is our new song Just like the last one" should've been plainly obvious. Yes, the song could allude to teenage pressure and that old staple "the establishment" (wrongly used to describe oh so many songs) but in this case, it isn't. Lol. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/10/08 Lol @ the pretentiousness of the last post when Thom Yorke has out and out stated that this song was inspired by the band's growing resentment for Creep. All songs can be taken out of their specific contexts and used as broader metaphor in one way or another, but the fact of the matter is that the specific context for this song is the band's personal reaction to the popularity of Creep. No, no you've all got it wrong! | Reviewer: RRT | 11/2/08 Musicians are people that perform music. Composers create/write music. There is a difference in my book. It is our good fortune that Radiohead is both! Second, this song is about people being brainwashed by the government and the media - "the head shrinkers". Regarding the teenage line, that is the age when people are the most influenced by societal pressures. That effect can last a lifetime unless we all break out of the delusions society would have us buy into! "When the power goes out we'll just hum" is about people's utter non-nonchalance - rather than thinking for themselves, taking a stand, speaking up and choosing what is RIGHT - not what is decided for them! Isn't that clear? How does "creep" have anything to do with this you silly interpreters? Perhaps it might in passing, because Radiohead obviously did not want to be considered one-hit wonders. But to attribute this song totally as a reaction to creep is a damn shame. And quite honestly, you're missing the POINT. to johnny depp | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/10/08 "Thus, it is obvious that the members in Radiohead are musicians. In my book they are not on par with Beethoven, but they are musicians nonetheless. They are modern composers too - don't they write their own songs? Perhaps a stricter definition of the word "musician", such as an instrumentalist, is what you were referring to. I just needed to clarify and analyze what you wrote because it really didn't make any sense - haha - not trying to be a cyber bully or anything." what he meant was the person who said "theyre the beethoven of music" was basically saying beethoven didnt make music, assuming he painted or something. so your whole rant about what is and what isnt music was just useless. im not trying to be a cyber bully or anything :P this song is pretty sick. still here | Reviewer: Sarah | 8/5/08 Just looking up the lyrics to this song after hearing that it was written because the band was upset about Creep. I've listen to this song many times but never realized how beautifully and cleverly written it is. Boy has Radiohead shown the world that they're not 1-hit wonders! They're 1 in a million! ;D Rock on guys Clarification on the term "Musician" | Reviewer: Johnny Depp | 7/3/08 Directed to the person who said this: "To the person who said Radiohead are the Beethovens of music: First of all, you spelled Beethoven wrong, second of all, Beethoven was a musician, you idiot. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be a keyboard bully. haha. I love this song, that short bridge before the end is the best part. I just saw Radiohead a couple of days ago, and it was definitely the best concert I've ever been to." Do you think you're smart limiting the term musician to just Beethoven? Clearly, you do not know what a musician is. Here is the defintion from dictionary.com: 1. a person who makes music a profession, esp. as a performer of music. 2. any person, whether professional or not, skilled in music. Thus, it is obvious that the members in Radiohead are musicians. In my book they are not on par with Beethoven, but they are musicians nonetheless. They are modern composers too - don't they write their own songs? Perhaps a stricter definition of the word "musician", such as an instrumentalist, is what you were referring to. I just needed to clarify and analyze what you wrote because it really didn't make any sense - haha - not trying to be a cyber bully or anything. on the verge of losing his love | Reviewer: cominfast | 6/26/08 faith, could be name or a metaphor for the woman he loves, but she doesn't seem to be reciprocating the way yorke wnats her to!!!. hence he says 'driving me away", he's cynical to openly express his love for her, and he is constantly feeling the pain in this bloody situation. he still might go for other bitches, but this particular woman has to say yes, he would go back to her!! he doesn't want to let go too, for he feels he can wait forever, even if it is insanely late in his life Irony | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/26/08 This song is pure irony. They wrote it about feeling drowned by the song Creep, about the feeling that it was the only thing keeping them afloat. I just saw them play a few weeks back, and they all look so contented when they play this song, probably because they have LONG ascended past the idea that they are one-hit wonders. possible meaning of the song | Reviewer: Sean | 6/24/08 Obviously the lyrics here are very deep but this is my interpretation of them: I think that this song kind of has a different meaning per verse. the first verse is a clear statement on a sort of atheism it seems like. Like religion is something that's nice for some, but it doesn't work for him. the rest,to me seems to be like an anti-"Smells Like Teen Spirit." It kind of is saying that teenage years are a waste of time. We go from being cute and innocent to old and cynical over the course of 5 years or so. Yesss | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/21/08 To the person who said Radiohead are the Beethovens of music: First of all, you spelled Beethoven wrong, second of all, Beethoven was a musician, you idiot. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be a keyboard bully. haha. I love this song, that short bridge before the end is the best part.
