"How to Disappear Completely" by Radiohead

That there
That's not me
I go
Where I please
I walk through walls
I float down the Liffey
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here

In a little while
I'll be gone
The moment's already passed
Yeah it's gone
And I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here

Strobe lights and blown speakers
Fireworks and hurricanes
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here

This is a song about disappearing and forgetting about everything that worries you, and that's exactly because I love it. I know we all must face our problems and etc., but there're times when you really need to be free of worries and your mind needs to be just in peace. If your life was full of worries, then you had a stressing life and you wouldn't like to live anymore. Perhaps I'm doing little exaggerate, but I guess it's true, and that's why I like this song and enjoy listening to it. It makes me feel good, although somebody thinks the singer's voice stinks.

If you found that my explanaition about why I like this song is true, then check out this video of "How to Disappear Completely" live!





Radiohead is an indie band from Oxford, England. They started their career in tha late 80's . They used to called 'On a Friday', but when they signed with a major label, they changed their name to Radiohead, which is a song by the American band Talking Heads. Their first album was released in 1993 and was called "Pablo Honey", whose single "Creep" was a total hit in their country and USA. Everybody thought that they were just a "one-hit-wonder" band else (because of the controversial song "Creep"), but when they realeased their second LP ("The Bends") and the radios began to play more songs by them (such as "Street Spirit", "High and Dry", etc.), then they realized that Radiohead career was just beginning. Their third studio album was "OK Computer" (1997) and it's considered their best longplay so far. In fact, there have been many bands influenced by that particular album.

The song I feature on this post is from their fourth album, "Kid A", a recording whose topics are mostly critical about the current world context and contemporary society. It's a group of songs to sit back and relax, though.

The Radiohead's music is a kind of "indie music" because of its "alternative" sound and the non-common instruments that they play. They're a rock band, but many of their songs have jazzy, underground and electro sounds.
