    first came across this while recording my first studio album, the recording engineer said i should listen to this song and I've been listening to this version for many years now... it is incredible that one human did all that, considering how perfect it is.

    When I'm walking down the street; I sometimes have this incredible urge to look at someone's eyes for a prolonged period of time; as they pass me by; I look at their facial gestures to figure out how they are exactly feeling in life. And also, whether they've ever experienced anything similar to what I am experiencing at 5:16. A point that breaks through time and space and makes some room for itself for an indefinite amount of time.
    I feel like I'm one of those lucky bunch who has gotten to experience it. And I'm truly glad.

    • @ElsCRD

      @radiodead745 Před rokem +1

      That is exactly how I found him also!! I've now seen him 6 times and Radiohead 5 times! What is kinda crazy is that after a little digging I'm pretty sure Radiohead was there on the same date, and on the next album Thom put out Give Up The Ghost!! Also a sample/ loop song!!! Did he witness Andrew playing and wrote that song?? Kinda a huge coincidence if not!

  • @En_Pissant

    I think he kicks his shoes off for a practical reason: to turn the knob on the delay pedal with his foot to get that pitch-bendy sound at the end…still legendary though.

    This isn't your song
    This isn't your music
    How can there be wrong
    When by committee they choose it all
    They choose it all now
    Turn, turn
    You're gonna grow old
    You're gonna grow so cold
    Bearing signs on the avenue
    We'll fight, well fought
    For your music halls
    And your dying cities
    They'll fight
    They'll fight for your neural walls
    And your plasticities
    And precious territory
    And precious territory
    This isn't our song
    This isn't even a musical
    Isn't life too long
    To be a whale in a cubicle
    Nails under your cuticle
    Turn, turn
    You're gonna grow old
    You're gonna grow so cold
    Before this song can deliver you
    You're bearing signs on the avenue, ooooh oh
    We'll fight, well fought
    For your music halls
    And your dying cities
    They'll fight
    For your neural walls
    And your plasticities
