Radiohead - No suprises

 

No Surprises by Radiohead I love the kind of fairytale music in this song. The sound that resembles an old music box is used in a brilliant way! Lyrics follow:

A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you bruises that won't heal
You look so tired, unhappy bring down the government
They don't, they don't speak for us
I'll take a quiet life, a handshake of carbon monoxide

And no alarms and no surprises, no alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises

Silent, silent, this is my final fit my final bellyache with

No alarms and no surprises, no alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises please

Such a pretty house and such a pretty garden

No alarms and no surprises (let me out of here), no alarms and no surprises (let me out of here)
No alarms and no surprises (let me out of here) please

A bit melancholic like most radiohead songs...well a bit more maybe it actually talks about suicide?!? or is it my idea??. Well anyway I think that is futile and it is no solution to any problem no matter how difficult life may seem.. My favourite line is:

"A job that slowly kills you bruises that won't heal"

You have expectations and dreams and then one day you realize you are just a part of the machine and you slowly loose your energy.

I also like "You look so tired, unhappy bring down the government They don't, they don't speak for us" it suits the politicians of my country and many countries I guess well...I hope we'll make it out of this mess.

 

Well "No alarms and no surprises" for tommorrow. Enjoy! and dont forget to drop a click if you like it ;)

Fake Plastic Trees

Got stuck with Radiohead now...Fake Plastic Trees...You can find the lyrics here. It really "wears me out" when I try to be a "plastic man". Society is defining borders (sometimes too strict) for what behaviour is good/acceptable and for who is good looking or not. It is in our nature to want to be accepted, popular, desirable but we shouldn't forget who we are in the end. I love the lines:

He used to do surgery
For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins

For girls in the eighties...so sad sometimes...I am not judging anyone  (I really don't know how I'm gonna react when and if I reach my eighties) but I believe that the best thing to do is accept that it's absolutely normal and natural to grow old. Enjoy...

Street Spirit

Street Spirit by Radiohead! I posted a mashup of this song along with morcheeba a while ago. The lyrics of this song are also very good:

This machine will, will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under

This lines fits very well this blog ;) (and I suppose to many other sites and blogs as well). So everybody enjoy this "Before we all go under...And fade out again and fade out again"...

Karma Police - Music Monday

Karma Police by Radiohead. You can find the lyrics here. This also kind of reminds of the situation my country is in..."I've given all I can, It's not enough, I've given all I can but we're still on the payroll".

Karma police, arrest this man
He talks in maths
He buzzes like a fridge
He's like a detuned radio

I guess I'm a bit like that... ;) Enjoy!
