A nice look into a bit of the brilliance that is Radiohead. BTW, love the Golden Sun poster on the door lol. Takin it back!

i was always under the impression that Rain is a play on Reign, as we have already established kings its almost a feeling of oppression. I think in the same way the Pigs are a nod to Pink Floyds pigs also are figures of authority

Okay I love Radiohead, I can see happiness and bohemian in the song.
But Radiohead is hyped to much the slow to fast, simple to complex template is literally the way Rush writes songs.
"Spirit of the radio" does the exact same thing. All mist EVERYsong is a unconventional way to write. But Rush never gets credit due to rolling stones and the "music Critics" elite bashes Rush, but praise Radiohead does. Radiohead is amazing I love them. I might be FANBOYing here. But it's not a ",Amazing" song

I know this to be utterly random but people fail to recognise the impact the hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy has on Radiohead music at this thing.
Planet Telex is a planet they try to colonise. OK Computer is a phrase uttered all the time in the story, a prompt almost exactly the same as “Hey Siri/Google”, to get the “computer” to do something. Marvin the Paranoid Android is one of the main characters. Hell even the breakdown into Happier Healthier is pretty much the same as the spaceship decelerating on the 8O’s TV show.
They’re amazing at taking one idea and redirecting it. For example a noisy LA bar full of wankers being a metaphor for societal breakdown being caused by, greed, hubris & ignorance.

What's with the white dot, is it just dirt on the lens? e.g. over the face (under the eye) at 9:22

Radiohead, the music is really very interesting and quite original. However Thoms lyrics are riddled with clichés and common sayings.

This song has an album's worth of material for most artists packed into it.

Really awesome that you play the parts that you're talking about. Most YouTubers just play the whole track and it can be difficult to mentally pull out a thing when you're not quite sure of what's being described.
