@Elysium18 Here we are almost ten years after your comment. Covid-19 happened. I see all the liberals (which i used to consider myself) jumping on board; this is the moment, their anti-Vietnam, their Woodstock, their "I'd like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony..." moment. I keep thinking of this song because i think that's what's going on with a lot of the lock-step conformity and hatred and oversimplification of issues that have gone with this crisis and the supposedly uplifting effect they have had on our souls, even as the economy (and some people's lives) have tanked.
People...

People love to feel they are part of a higher movement, something bigger than just them and their little lives. It's a tendency that can make great things happen, or horrible things. Thom gave voice to the need for it.
Don't know if we all know Yorke well enough to discern the meaning of this song, this one is pretty personal and slightly random sounding.
I absolutely love the part that goes:
"I wish it was the sixties, I wish we could be happy, I wish, I wish that something would happen."
