Strobe lights and blown speakers
fireworks and hurricanes
I’m not here -
this isn’t happening.
Radiohead - Motion Picture Soundtrack
I first heard this song very, very late at night (rather very, very early in the morning). I was laying in bed, in the dark, listening to Kid A at top volume through headphones.
As it went on, the song became more and more entrancing, until finally the sampled harp took it over the edge and I fell in love.
I don’t know that we could ask for a better album conclusion. Or for better lyrics. Or a better concept. From Wikipedia: “Motion Picture Soundtrack was an attempt to emulate the soundtrack of 1950’s Disney films”.
Stop sending letters, letters always get burned.
It’s not like the movies -
they fed us on little white lies.
