Song of the Day: Radiohead: Knives Out

I loved Radiohead in the early 90s but towards the late 90s and 2000, their music went a direction I couldn't follow, except in videos. It seems like their music became an accompaniment to the video or better yet a soundtrack. I really like "knives Out," but it is not something I would belt out in my radio anytime soon. In fact, I'd probably pass it by if it was playing on the radio. However, the video just keeps me attached. With all the abstract imagery and disconcerting movements, the video can be rather nauseating, but the music helps me keep up with the story and understand the feel. I love/hate deconstructing stuff like that, it can be so messy because i may not have got everything and interpret it wrong butI do enjoy all the subtle and not so subtle bits music, videos, movies, shows, do to get me to continue to watch or listen. My favorite part is the train scenes we see through out the vid. It's of course the life journey of the couple from the start of their love to the unfortunate end and then retrospection.
