My Review of "There, There" by Radiohead.

There, There
By Radiohead. I think that they are one of the best bands in the world. They are certainly one of my favorites. Tom York is a poet and his lyrics touch me in a deep emotional way. He described something that I have tried to explain since I first feel in love. I have been in love with love for as long as I can remember. My favorite love is unrequited. I really become fantastical about love. I believed for so so long that if I liked someone they liked me in return. I honestly thought that when they were alone and in their heart of hearts they thought fantasized about me also, then I heard this song. I grew up in a matter of three minutes. '
I go walking in your landscape. (Fantasy)
Just 'cause you feel it doesn't mean it's there. (Boom! Blow my mind!)

Siren singing you to shipwreck (classic unrequited love)

We'd be a walking disaster (You have to tell yourself that because they do not like you in return, You cannot obsess)

Why so green and lonely
so lonely, lonely.   (I mean unrequited loving is lonely business)

Let's end this unrequited love affair with something to hope for if it isn't unrequited.
Heaven sent you to me.
We are accidents waiting to happen.

I mean talk about some amazing lyrics and the music. I have died and gone to heaven myself. This song gets me every time.



In pitch dark
I go walking in your landscape
Broken branches
Trip me as I speak
Just 'cause you feel it
Doesn't mean it's there
Just 'cause you feel it
Doesn't mean it's there
There's always a siren
Singing you to shipwreck
(Don't reach out, don't reach out
Don't reach out, don't reach out)
Steer away from these rocks
We'd be a walking disaster
(Don't reach out, don't reach out
Don't reach out, don't reach out)
Just 'cause you feel it
Doesn't mean it's there
(Someone on your shoulder
Someone on your shoulder)
Just 'cause you feel it
Doesn't mean it's there
(Someone on your shoulder
Someone on your shoulder)
There there
Why so green and lonely?
And lonely, and lonely?
Heaven sent you to me
To me, to me?
We are accidents waiting
Waiting to happen
We are accidents waiting
Waiting to happen

Favorite Color

I have never been able to answer confidently that red or yellow or any color as being the one that resonates as my favorite. Up until this...
