I just have to talk a little about Radiohead. I absolutely love them. Here's why.
They are epic. All I Need, Optimistic, Exit Music (For a Film) etc. etc. recently I just cannot get enough of them. For a long time now I have admired everything about the band and am completely enamored by Thom Yorke's voice. His is one of only few that can actually get me to weep.
There is no one else like them. Sure there are a few bands that rely on them for inspiration and have some qualities similar to Radiohead, but they are one of a kind in my mind.
Karma Police is a fantastic song. Enough said.
Reckoner. This song gets me every time. I listen to it when I need to ground myself in the moment, when I am having one of those "I just can't seem to make myself get out of bed even" days and when I need a release. Thom's voice on this one makes me turn into a moth to a flame. If I hear this song I will stop what I am doing so I can again appreciate the amazing-ness of this song. Sometimes if I put this song on repeat, I can get so lost in it that a half an hour or more will go by before I realize it.
Radiohead has been an inspiration to me for years. They opened up my world to a whole new kind of music that has lead me to discover amazing talent. They have also led me to discover things within myself. In essence Radiohead makes me want to meditate, breathe slowly and watch the world in slow motion.
