| Radiohead – Optimistic Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| @[mrguy6:32939] this is excellent. I agree with your points of view. I think you hit the nail of the head. This song is art in its truest form. It evokes such deep dramatic tones and paints a dark landscape. This song brings me back in time to college at the apex of my struggles in school - i was in near despair. The deep background of the song captures the feeling so perfectly. And all I wanted during that time was to believe desperately that Thom York was not being sarcastic. I needed that optimistic message to be true. Your description is the bigger picture of it all. the struggle doesn't matter and most of it is out of our control on this ship. But we can try to see the snippets of positivity. it's there despite the bad and the institutions around. We try and try again. and learn and try again. It's reincarnation for the soul despite the worlds we find ourselves in. | |
