    For those who don't know or are new to the band, If anyone wonders how it's that the video and song are so perfectly syncronized and with little editing is because the the audio for the album version was actually recorded from this live show, Astoria 94. If i'm correct only the vocals were re-recorded. Crazy!

  • @Sienna169
    @Sienna169 Před 4 lety +5156

    This song was made about Creep and how it is their ‘iron lung.’ Someone who has an iron lung has to stay lying down for the rest of their life unable to move because the iron lung is attached to them and keeping them alive.
    Apply this to Creep, this song expresses how the band depended on Creep to become well known and for many people it is the only Radiohead song they recognized. Creep was keeping the band from reaching their full potential and that’s where they felt like they were under an iron lung unable to move. But they needed Creep because Creep was the only recognition they had at the time.
    This kinda reminds me about how Nirvana was mostly only recognized for Smells Like Teen Spirit and they were requested to play it so much, they would just preform it badly or carelessly. But Nirvana still liked Smells Like Teen Spirit.
    Thom hated Creep so much, he refused to even play it at all.

    Faith, you're driving me away
    You do it everyday
    You don't mean it
    But it hurts like hell
    My brain says I'm receiving pain
    A lack of oxygen
    From my life support
    My iron lung
    [Verse 2]
    We're too young to fall asleep
    Too cynical to speak
    We are losing it
    Can't you tell?
    We scratch our eternal itch
    A twentieth century bitch
    And we are grateful for
    Our iron lung
    [Chorus]
    The headshrinkers, they want everything
    My uncle Bill, my Belisha beacon
    [Verse 3]
    Suck, suck your teenage thumb
    Toilet trained and dumb
    When the power runs out
    We'll just hum
    This, this is our new song
    Just like the last one
    A total waste of time
    My iron lung
    [Bridge]
    And if you're frightened
    You can be frightened
    You can be, it's OK
    And if you're frightened
    You can be frightened
    You can be, it's OK

    I remember watching MTV back then when I was like 7 or 8. I saw this video, and I fell in love with it. it was probably the first time I literally liked a song obsessively. sadly I didn't get to see the name of the song or the band. my father always tells me I described them as "a very loud band playing live with a blonde girl singing" (yes, I thought Thom Yorke was a girl). years later I discovered Radiohead and their post Kid A era, and when I looked up at their old music, there it was. my iron lung. I was very happy, turns out I've been a Radiohead fan all this years.

    Oh, My brother, my dear brother, he left this world yesterday & this was his favourite song. Still remember when you were 14, I was 10 and you showed me this song. I was fascinated! You took me down the Rock N 'Roll path and thanks to you I developed my own musical tastes. Today, I discover that you left this world of your own free will, taking an overdose of pills until you were sound asleep. Dear brother, when I found out about that, coming to listen to this song was the only thing that occurred to me at the time, and here I am! listening to this song at 3 in the morning, while singing loudly and enjoying the music as if you are still with me to listen to it together. Brother, when you first showed me this song, you told me that we all had this song hidden within us, but we weren't brave enough to show them to everyone. Now I understand it and I am sorry I understood it too late. I love you, brother, and I will always love you. Thank you for showing me these musical wonders. I will miss you today, tomorrow and always.This song will always be a part of us, dear brother.

    "Suck, suck your teenage thumb; Toilet trained and dumb" Paired with the theme of an iron lung, I think this is the first time I've been genuinely disturbed by a song's lyrics, even if not by a huge margin. The mental image of being confined to an iron lung, braindead, helpless, and blissfully numb, only living to survive has definitely keep me up at night, and the chords and falsetto defintitely help rub me the wrong way in the best way possible. Such a beautiful yet almost eerie piece. Definitely a new favorite.

    So, I had trouble placing it for a long time, but the rhythm guitar riff during the "you can be frightened" bit is actually a variation from one in Rape Me by Nirvana. Everyone always talks about how similar this song is to Heart Shaped Box but it's more than just that.
    Always loved this one because of all that, and that it being another (actually the last) of their grungy tracks doesn't ruin it is kind of impressive. Instead of getting angry at all the "English Nirvana" comments in a really stupid, vocal way where they distanced their material as far away as possible from Pablo Honey, they hung around the same style, sharpened it to a fine point and used it to destroy their old self and their criticism. Really clever commentary, like _seriously_ "fighting fire with fire". It's not often you see people escape from where they were by sticking with it. It usually takes a complete shift that alienates half your audience.
    Hilariously then, Radiohead finally did that huge shift when they were loved and didn't even need to, and they didn't care if they alienated anyone. I've always found it incredible that five people have been able to go through all this in a fairly democratic manner over 20+ years without hating each other.

      Rod Jonse true buy you cannot deny that the beginning guitar solo sounds like heart shaped box and also the second guitar part which starts at about 1:58 sounds like the "Hey wait I got a real complain" part from Heart Shaped Box.

      Rod Jonse we can't talk about rape me variation, cause rape me chords are probably the most used in much of rock music (even smells like teen spirit has the same progression just in f, not e)

      lkjv3 That doesn't mean I can't employ common sense in regards to an uncannily similar part.
      People would note how the chord progression in Creep is ages old. Sure, fine. It's still Hollies that they admittedly based it on though.

    The fact that they made a whole song about how much "Creep" negatively affected them, while still keeping them alive, and made the whole thing a metaphor with the concept of an iron lung, is still astounding to me 15 years later.

    « Jonny : (...) »My Iron Lung« was recorded live in the London Astoria and we just happened to record it onto a 24-track tape and having not done a very good version in the studio, we thought that it sounded much better from this concert, so we just used that. Trash : So the definitive version is live ? Jonny : Yea, but it doesn’t sound like it because we took out the audience. »

    Context : Radiohead made this song bcuz of creep, it's like a metaphor, creep being their "iron lung" and keeping them famous, EMI wants Radiohead to make another iconic song similiar to Creep, and so they made this as reply to EMI

    Little fun fact, this song is the only Radiohead song that has slap bass in it. You can hear it if you listen closely to the chorus ("the headshrinkers" part), and you can see Colin doing it in live performances if you look.
