As a profoundly deaf person, Radiohead was a first band I felt through a sensation of vibration. Whilst using an ordinary hi fi speakers, their music felt like I'm going closer to heaven.

[NeutrinaEinzig]

It's an insane world. Nobody knows what to do, but everybody's doing something just for doing anything. I adore Radiohead because it's a pure art for every soul that want to be a human being.

[lostglaceon]

I seriously love that the reissues aren't _just_ reissues. They're practically celebrations of the albums, coming with plenty of either rare or unreleased tracks! Can't wait to see what the video's like, I'm curious.

[SodiumWage]

What makes Radiohead great is that they make songs about important things: anxiety, modernity, loneliness, but they also maintain a slight sense of humor about it all. They never make fun of or belittle the terrible things that makes up being a human being on this planet, but they do make sure to comment that it's all a little bit absurd too. I mean we're these hyper-evolved apes that can practically perform magic and yet we're still anxious about what people think of us. It's sort of tragic and absurd all at the same time, and Radiohead has been in on the joke since the very beginning.

[Missjunebugfreak]

No matter how far I go, I can always come back to Radiohead's music, and feel like I'm home.

Lyrics:

If you’re in a forest, out of your mind
Harpies in the branches breaking your arms
If you’re stuck in rainbows, shattering glass
Where you miss the moment, watching it pass

If you say the word
If you say the word
If you say the word
If you say the word



When you spend your life
Wishing on a twinkling star
When you forget how lucky you are
Buried in rubble, sixty foot down

If you say the word
If you say the word
If you say the word
If you say the word
Then I’ll come running
When you change your friends
Like changing your clothes
If you say the word
If you say the word
If you say the word
If you say the word
If you say the word
If you say the word
Then I’ll come running
I’ll come running.

You're welcome! :)

My brother, who tragically passed away, introduced me to Radiohead when we were kids. So every time I hear a Radiohead song, I fondly remember my sweet brother. He lives on through their hauntingly beautiful music.

[matthewhohenbery]

As a child of deaf parents, my folks never listened to music. Radiohead was the first band I connected with spiritually, and my folks saw my love for them in my music and my singing. My dream is to be an ASL interpreter for Radiohead at their shows, it would be an honor to represent their expression to the deaf and disabled community. 🤟🏼🤘🏼♾

[BryanFurran]

they created songs that are not easy for everyone to accept, but when we get into them, we will be trapped forever.

[codaboi]

I like to imagine that it took Thom 20 years to listen to some of the unreleased tracks and go "huh.. this is pretty good actually. Better late than never then"

[jimjonesthreethousand]

the bassline is amazing... In a band full of prodigies, Colin's bass lines often get overlooked...

[bismagful]

I started listening to Radiohead in high school. I was the biggest fan of them and could not stop listening to their music for months at a time. I'm 41 now and this song plays on repeat in my house. My children are doomed to love them. Best band ever! ❤

[jmwFILMS]

I always love how unique and creative their music videos are. Also, I'm really glad they're still actively making music after all these years.

[holymackerelthethird]

You always see Instagram posts from farmers bringing suits into woodland areas, unaware that this kind of environment is stressful and dangerous for them. The lack of interns means they struggle to find food or water, most will starve. Glad to see these guys putting nature back in balance, god bless 🙏😊

[valentinaubeda]

Having the chance to listen a Radiohead song for the first time in a while, thank you for giving us that feeling again <33

[Bennyndorothy]

When I was a like 14 I walked in a music store and they were giving away free the “cassette single “ of creep and I fell in love …now I’m 43 and these guys never cease to amaze me. I’m mean how did this song NOT make the cut 21 years ago ? …. These dudes on a whole nutha level .

[cmk]

Radiohead: one of few bands that never lost their aesthetic. This was much needed.

[DoubleDHarvey]

I enjoy that Radiohead has a back catalogue of unfinished and rejected songs that could easily be turned into one of their best albums

[essbeenz]

I’ve walked down this london street so many times. Everyone rushing to their particular destination. Scuttling along. Brilliant commentary.

[WILSONPARDIJUNIOR]

Radiohead is in this century what Pink Floyd was on the last century, i.e., an extreme musical creativity not only on the instrumental side, but also visually and in terms of lyrics!
