You can call Radiohead a rock band, which they are, but Yorke has gone to great lengths to shun any expectations surrounding his band or his work beyond it. But even in Yorke\u2019s biggest hit, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/facts\/radiohead\/creep\">\u201cCreep\u201d<\/a>, there\u2019s an emotional rawness and vulnerability that has remained consistent through his career.

He <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/hc6UdA3TtWY?si=GI5RId8YCAAPyxt5&amp;t=28\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a>, \u201cI\u2019m dying. But so are you.\u201d In \u201cVideotape\u201d, Thom Yorke writes from the perspective of a dying man. He records his thoughts as a resigned farewell to loved ones. It shows how we strive for immortality in what we leave behind\u2014an attempt to claw back our mere existence. And Yorke\u2019s choice of an outdated medium highlights the ephemerality of it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This is my way of saying goodbye,<br>Because I can\u2019t do it face to face.<br>So I\u2019m talking to you before\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cPyramid Song\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Radiohead - Pyramid Song\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3M_Gg1xAHE4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Yorke\u2019s piano chords fall in uneven rhythms. They feel random, yet tied together at the same time. It echoes the abstraction in the lyrics, which gives one the sense of a deeply personal moment within the unfathomable bigness of space and time. He sings about lovers, his past and futures, and the comforting thought of an afterlife: \u201cWe all went to heaven in a little row boat.\u201d This is a zoomed-out gaze on little humans trying to both understand and grapple with impermanence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>There was nothing to fear,<br>Nothing to doubt<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cThe Numbers\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Numbers\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zmo-11Bc0XM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another one about mortality.
