This spacecraft blocking out the sky
And there's nowhere to hide
You run to the back and you cover your ears
But it's the loudest sound you've ever heard
Now we're trapped, we're dark cloud people
We are helpless to resist
In your darkest hour
But it was just a lie, just a lie
Just a lie, just a lie
Even at this angle
And so we crumble
Still turning heads, you know where it's at
This dread still covers us
You gotta be kidding me
The grass grows over me
Your face in the glass, and it's dark now
It was just a laugh, it was just a laugh
It's whatever you say it is
Split infinite
And in your life, there comes a darkness
And a spacecraft blocking out the sky
And there's nowhere to hide
You run to the back and you cover your ears
It's the loudest sound you've ever heard
In your darkest hour
If you had another one
If you had another name
So dark
We will never, never know
We will never, never know
So dark
So dark
So dark
So dark
Possibly the most original and influential music in a generation. Not to everyone's taste but superb in my 'umble opinion
I am w/ Chris on this!

its called falsetto
It sucks.
Hate should be used for only the cruelest of monsters.
Of course, I was once called 'hostile' for saying please once so is there little hope for humanity?
Back to Radiohead, I enjoy what they do but in some cases, a bit like a 'too smoky' scotch. I don't like licking a chimney, but a wee dram to experience the blend cannot kill me. ;-)
I guess you're fooling around in the corner, drunk and dressed in your best brown baggies and your platform soles?
You got the Knopfler reference justin.

Here's what I know...it's pretty damn hard to write a comment on any song on RP and get noticed for it, unless you already had the top spot. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it...
Besides not understanding the point of this comment, I have to also say that this comment holds little truth, if any.
I’m late to the Radiohead phenomena, but this album is beyond stunning. Such a transportive production. I’ve cranked this over 20 times and still find sublime subtleties.
One could argue that they have been the most consistently great band/artist of the last 25 years (not to the haters though)
yeah, it's ok if you don't like a band's style or sound, musical taste is subjective.
However, the utter vitriol some people post is just completely unnecessary.
Also, when people don't like a band they always follow up with "this band sucks".
No, they don't. Don't confuse the capability of the performers with your dislike of their music.
Very well stated!!
I don't give a damn about any Thom Yorke playing band.
It ain't what I call rock and roll.

You would think that people that listen to a radio station like RP would be past the I hate a certain band stage, but life can surprise you.

Put to excellent use in the closing scene of S1E1 of Ozark.
the APEX of that show. all downhill since then.
No. The attitude and voice of Thom Yorke is despicable. Radiohead, musically, is interesting. But that guy just irritates every nerve of me. The only good thing he did was Creep - an autobiographical confession.
He has severe social anxiety. Obviously, if you don't like him I don't expect you to have seen the documentary about them ("Meeting people is easy", how ironic), but... Watching the first part of this doc, I thought like you: this guy systematically leaves his bandmates to do the job for him, he disappears (almost completely... :p) every time you need him... But the more you watch, the more you realize that he does that because he's absolutely frightened to talk to... well, almost anybody.
Yorke was probably meant to stay in his cave and record beautiful music, not to go on world tours and interact daily with dozens of people asking questions and watching every single move he does.
So that's for this attitude. A little empathy can't hurt! About his voice, there is nothing I can do :D
The Season 3 ending tho...

Both wrong. Not all X are Y, otherwise we would only need X.

it right on this one

I want to give your post a '10' rating, based solely on the Father Ted reference.

Radiohead's grown on me like fungus through exposure on RP and some numbers are halfway tolerable, and for sure the band itself is extremely good, but Yorke is one miserable metalfitter, right enough. I can't imagine listening to him for enjoyment. Maybe for catharsis.
Cool. I heard Jose Gonzalez on RP 10 years ago and also became an instant fan. It's nice to hear a grateful remark.

Outside of that, they are pretty darned good though!

ColaradoJohn, the reason might be because there is not the same originality as they had before in other albums. If Radiohead were a star they would now be a Red Giant on the inevitable downward spiral to a spent force. They can still make some good music but the spark has gone.
not that I didn't like it before, I did but now I really like it
Hits PSD.
I'd rather listen to a dental drill in my head.
I'm sure that can be arranged.

This reads like it may have inadvertently fallen into the google translator - pure poetry.
Apparently English is not the first language of that RP member, so I believe he does use some sort of translation program on occasion. His posts are kind of poetic sometimes.
This. There's less whining at a dog pound.

This is actually pretty good (7-8, maybe even 9 after a few listens) but in general RP plays way too much Radiohead.

Haha! Well said. :))

Without doubt the most outstanding,
Downright and upstanding,
As already foresaw a long time ago, this disc is a sort of "musical reminiscences", of a group that in the past they knew lead to practice, and say with a lot of high-efficiency, a set of great songs format, but currently lost this ability, and for all we know "there do not go" anymore. So why the new disc of 2016? Maybe just makes sense the intention to "billing target" to keep the band's name in current market context, and maybe pass when inserted in the context of continuous issue remains of radio stations, as happens about a lot of different music. Separately ear and so dedicated, I'm sure that this is no longer the case, "jamais".
Nevertheless, "Decks Dark" is as for me probably the best musical track of the whole album, where the group conveys the idea of wanting to retrieve some aesthetic model and sound of his period more glorious and inspired from the past.

No, it isn't. BTW, is "per se" Latin for "if you catch my drift"?

"Present Tense" included in 2016 album "A Moon Shaped Pool" dates to 2008, and Tom Yorke first performed it in a solo set at the UK Latitude Festival in 2009.
This dance
This dance
Is like a weapon
Is like a weapon
Of self defense
Of self defense
Against the present
Against the present
Present tense
No I won't get heavy
No don't get heavy
Keep it light and
Keep it moving
I am doing
No harm
As my world
Comes crashing down
I'm dancing
Freaking out
Deaf, dumb, and blind
In you I'm lost
In you I'm lost
I won't turn around
Or the penny drops
I won't stop now
I won't slack off
Or all this love
Will be in vain
To stop from falling
Down a mine
It's no one's business
But mine
Where all this love
Has been in vain
In you I'm lost
In you I'm lost
In you I'm lost
In you I'm lost

It ain't what I call rock and roll.
Who said it was?
Keep playing Radiohead Bill. Lots of it! Surely this station is their spiritual home?
It ain't what I call rock and roll.
It's got a backbeat!

It ain't what I call rock and roll.
it may not be rock and roll, but is that a bad thing per se?
BUT
It is music, very very good music ... always a surprise, never dull, nerve aching, soothing & takes you to all emotions good music should take you!
Keep on playing it Bill

It ain't what I call rock and roll.
Copy that.
