My favorite song...



My favorite song is "There There" of Radiohead.


Radiohead is a great alternative band of rock. They are influenced by many styles of music as electronic, post-punk and classic rock music, but his music is unique.
Radiohead is considered one of the most creative bands of the world getting the prize for best album of 90's. This albums is OK Computer.
Its themes are social and express the problems of post modern society. The songs are thoughtful and very depressed.
Radiohead is a British band formed in 1985, but his debut album is released in 1992.
The lastest published record is "In Rainbows" in 2007, and it can be downloaded paying whathever each person want to pay for it.


This song talks about internal feelings of a person who is in some unspeakable atmosphere, in some continuity hidden, somehow by a feeling of tearing, deep, at times choking, of sadness and uncertainty.
But there is always a small light of hope within the deep, dark woods of consciousness where you can find good things of life.


The lyrics of the song "There there" is:


In pitch dark I go walking in your landscape.

Broken branches trip me as I speak.

Just cos you feel it doesn't mean it's there.

Just cos you feel it doesn't mean it's there.

There's always a siren singing you to shipwreck (don't reach out, don't reach out)
Stay away from these rocks we'd be a walking disaster (don't reach out, don't reach out )

Just cos you feel it doesn't mean it's there (there's someone on your shoulder)

Just cos you feel it doesn't mean it's there (there's someone on your shoulder)
There there...
Why so green
And lonely
Heaven sent you
To me
We are accidents waiting
Waiting to happen
We are accidents waiting
Waiting to happen
