yugaquanto seems to have nailed this one. I think you people are taking the "Ice age coming" a bit too literally. By Ice age, he's(Yorke) speaking about an extended period of time devoid of growth, where life is very nearly vanquished. He's may well be attempting to conjure the images we associate with the neanderthals, having been the only "humans" to live through the ice age, ie; small groups of people scavenging, hiding in caves (or in this case bunkers), whose survival hangs by a thread. Conversely, this period would be triggered by our own actions rather than by a cycle of nature. One of you made reference to the term "nuclear winter", in KID A, he seems to be speaking of the impending end to society as current, whereas Amnesiac seems to take place at some point near the end of the "nuclear winter/ice age". One line off that album, in the refrain of the piece "Knives out", "catch the mouse, squash his head, put him in your mouth" seems to support this, given that humans have been reduced to surviving on rodents. Interestingly, radiohead's new album "Hail to the thief" seems to be set in present times, or a time very similar. Are they going back, to catalog the apocolypse quantitavely, or are they conveying the message that, regardless of grandeur, society will forever destroy itself anew? |

what happenned during the elections in florida was no accident... As to the acuracy of the lyrics, the band has been changing the song since the first version was leaked, so inconcistencies abound. We'll know for sure when the album comes out now won't we. The song is definitely a reference to Orwell's 1984, in so far as the government is telling us things that are clearly untrue, but we accept them as a mass so as not to seem "unpatriotic". It reminds me of the silencing and hate mongering that took place under the premise of the "communists threat" throughout the cold war. |

Dear wannabepretty, by good you mean pop, at least I'm asuming I love radiohead now, but I hated Pablo Honey, so I find them to be "good" now, as much as you found them to be "good" before sorry As for the song, I think it's about how we treat the emotion of love, as a society and how it no longer has any connection with a human connection but rather as a means for sexual exploitation. Throughout the entire song, there's a sample of the word "J'aime" ( french for I love) playing in the background. The frequency of the sample quickens throughout the song untill it reaches a climax at the end. One might infer, that the song is a parody of sex, as near the end, the sample is barely recognizable, so as to say that what is left is no longer love, or rather never really was. |
