Cabecitas Locas


Radiohead

En mi opinión, una de las mejores bandas que hay es Radiohead. Más allá de simples melodías pegajosas, el conjunto de Oxford puede transmitir verdaderas sensaciones con solo escucharlos, ni siquiera el idioma resulta un problema, aun así sientes algo, nunca pasa desapercibido…

¿?- ¿Qué no entiendes que a nadie le importa?

Ejem… prosigo:
Una particularidad de esta banda son sus letras, las cuales tiene pueden llegar a decir muchas cosas, como… como… bueno, nomás chequen:

Let Down
Transport, motorways and tramlines,
starting and then stopping,
taking off and landing,
the emptiest of feelings,
disappointed people, clinging on to bottles,
and when it comes it's so, so, disappointing.

Let down and hanging around,
crushed like a bug in the ground.
Let down and hanging around.

Shell smashed, juices flowing
wings twitch, legs are going,
don't get sentimental, it always ends up drivel.
One day, I'm gonna grow wings,
a chemical reaction,
hysterical and useless
hysterical and

let down and hanging around,
crushed like a bug in the ground.
Let down and hanging around.

Let down,
Let down,
Let down.

You know, you know where you are with,
you know where you are with,
floor collapsing, falling, bouncing back
and one day, I'm gonna grow wings,
a chemical reaction, [You know where you are,]
hysterical and useless [you know where you are,]
hysterical and [you know where you are,]

let down and hanging around,
crushed like a bug in the ground.
Let down and hanging around.

Gran cancion, pero, ¿de que habla? Thom Yorke nos dice un poco acerca de que lo inspiró a componerla:

"I was pissed in a club, and I suddenly had the funniest thought I'd had for ages - what if all the people who were drinking were hanging from the bottles... if the bottles were hung from the ceiling with string, and the floor caved in, and the only thing that kept everyone up was the bottles? It's also about an enormous fear of being trapped."
