  • Ethan from Helsinki, -The horns in the back ground wholly remind me of the Beatles.
  • Dylan from New Britain, CtThom Yorke sounds alot like Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins sometimes.
  • Tom from Tampa, InThis song has very broad lyrics like many other radiohead songs. I think they write this way so their songs aren't just about one thing. It's a song that can be about whatever relates to the words.
  • Max from Sydney, AustraliaThis song must of been done in 1999, when everyone was afraid that the new manellium would end the world.That was called the"Y2K" and this song sounds like they are scared that the end of the world is coming.Me,myself,Never beilieved that the world would end.And as we can see,it hasn't

  • David Westell from Blackburn, EnglandDyou kmow that inthis song Yhom Yorke plays Bass.
  • Colin from Silver Spring, MdI think this is another one about fearing the end of the world (everyone whos got the fear is holding on.)
