go to sleep / radiohead
what a great song. about 300 essays could be written using this song as a starting place.
What a great video. and this video really takes it to the next level. i love how the CG Tom Yorke looks sort of like the Brad Pitt character in 12 Monkeys. and then there's the whole "show not tell" of (1) simulation vs. reality (2) automation in corporate working world (3) difference between human and machine (d) even the commentary on 9/11 with the buildings reassembling themselves (5) the red flower growing out of the pavement that, while the only pretty thing in the video, is still artificial and disregarded by everyone.
essays. lots of them.
btw, tom yorke looks a little like a monkey.
lyrics:
Go To Sleep
something for the rag and bone man
over my dead body
something big is gonna happen
over my dead body
someone saw someoneĆs daughter
over my dead body
this is how i ended up sucked in
over my dead body
i'm gonna go to sleep
and let this wash all over me
we dont really want a monster taking over
tip toeing, tying down
we don't want the loonies takin' over
tip toeing, tying down our arms
the pretty horses
come to you as you sleep
i'm not gonna to sleep
and let this wash over me
