Il duemila. Terzo millennio. Il cambiamento è nell'aria, palpabile. La voglia di riproporsi anche. Sfidarsi sempre per migliorarsi, fino a raggiungere l'ultimo passo.L'ultima frontiera di un incipit, l'incipt A. Solo, ai confini dell'universo a piangere desiderando di essere umano. E aspetta. Non starebbe nemmeno male in V per Vendetta.
"Fighi i Radiohead, High And Dry spacca!" "Ma chi, quelli di Creep?" Si. O meglio, no. Non più. Stufi di essere schiavi di un'etichetta che non li rappresenta appieno. Serve qualcosa di nuovo, qualcosa che lasci spiazzato.
"Io aprirei subito col botto, lascerei capire all'ascoltatore che si trova di fronte ad un qualcosa di nuovo. Deve arrivare a pensare di aver sbagliato gruppo." "Potremmo usare l'Hammond, e tu Jonny potresti loopare la voce di Thom lungo tutto il brano" "Si, suona bene. Ma di cosa vogliamo parlare nel disco? Un concetto di cosa? Non vorrei che cascassimo nel banale, un pensiero già formulato ed etichettato che poi andrà a radicarsi nelle menti dei bambini, rendendoli tutti uguali: Bambini A. Prototipi. Ehi, potremmo parlare di questo. La perdità dell'identità. Agire come Robot. Relativamente più felici. E poi voglio proprio vedere chi alla fine desidererà essere ancora un uomo. Un'era glaciale di emozioni spente li porterà via tutti." "Si ok, ma la gente si chiederà: PERCHE'. Dobbiamo lasciare qualche traccia di noi, in caso di ripensamenti. Si sa, il cammino dell'artista è lungo e non basta la parola morte a porvi fine. Anche se sarebbe un buon finale." "No no, io credo che la gente debba sentirsi spiazzata. Disorientata e confusa. Deve porsi delle domande, deve crescere ascoltando questo disco, sebbene ad un primo impatto potrà sembrare freddo, cupo, criptico e privo di senso. Solo allora potremo ritenerci soddisfatti. Ci crederanno pazzi, forse."
Perchè certe volte ti viene a noia. Ti vieni a noia. Certe volte hai solo voglia di una boccata fresca. Certe volte vuoi cambiare il mondo. Certe volte vuoi comunicare un messaggio. Certe volte vuoi trasmettere le tue sensazioni. Certe volte vuoi solo far capire quanto tu ti senta diverso in mezzo ad una società che ti chiama in ordine alfabetico. Certe volte addormentarsi non basta. Certe volte guidare una macchina per inseguire qualcuno può andare a tuo sfavore. Certe volte essere relativamente più felici ti fa sentire un idiota. Certe volte non ti rendi conto della tua importanza storica in quel determinato momento, magari in futuro. Certe volte ti senti come aver succhiato un limone. Certe volte la società non ti capisce a fondo. E se non ti piace ciò che la vita ti rimanda, allora devi cambiare messaggio.
"Ehi Thom tu cosa ne pensi?"

The best you can is good enough

This one's optimistic
This one went to market
This one just came out of the swamp
This one dropped a payload
Fodder for the animals
Living on animal farm
If you try the best you can

12 Motion Picture Soundtrack (03:55)
Red wine and sleeping pills
Help me get back to your arms
Cheap sex and sad films
Help me get where I belong
I think you're crazy, maybe
I think you're crazy, maybe
Stop sending letters
Letters always get burned
It's not like the movies
They fed us on little white lies
I think you're crazy, maybe
I think you're crazy, maybe
I will see you in the next life
'''Original last verse not included on Kid A:'''
Beautiful angel
Pulled apart at birth
Limbless and helpless
I can't even recognize you
I think you're crazy, maybe
I think you're crazy, maybe
I think you're crazy, maybe
I think you're crazy, maybe
I think you're crazy, maybe
I think you're crazy, maybe
I will see you in the next life
13 True Love Waits (05:04)
I'll drown my beliefs
To have you be in peace
I'll dress like your niece
And wash your swollen feet
Just don't leave
Don't leave
I'm not living
I'm just killing time
Your tiny hands
Your crazy kitten smile
Just, don't leave
Don't leave
And true love waits
In haunted attics
And true love lives
On lollipops and crisps
Just lonely, lonely..
Don't leave..

Di serestoppone
Kid A suona come un cervello appannato che prova a ricordare un'abduzione straniera.
Lo si amerà o lo si odierà. Io continuo ad amarlo.
Di Mellon
Kid A è verità, Thom Yorke è il messaggero giunto da terre lontane a rivelarcela.
Per questi quasi perfetti 50 minuti chiudete gli occhi e aprite il cuore... dall’altra parte qualcuno vi sta cercando per portarvi via da questo inferno.
Di wheredowegofromhere
La musica che trascende ogni retorica, che si libera dal suo essere musica per diventare uno stato del cuore...
Grazie RADIOHEAD, la mia vita grazie a voi è un susseguirsi di avvenimenti fantastici.
Di Mr_Iko
Radiohead, ossia trasmissione di onde fortemente reattive, che producono il fenomeno della combustione degli stati psicologici dell'organismo ospite.
L'effetto dell'esposizione prolungata ai resoconti analitici dei Radiohead determina perdita di conoscenza, aerofagia, dolori mestruali, gengivite e nevralgie.
Di TheBlackAngelsDeath
Viviamo all’interno d’un grande cubo di ghiaccio.
La follia trova un’armonia nella serenità della coscienza dell’uomo.
