I have never really listened to Radiohead. I feel as though I probably "should" listen to them, because I enjoy lots of independent musicians. I found the story in the text behind this song fascinating. I searched for the lyrics online so I could read them as I listened. Throughout, you can really see their feelings towards the concept of "selling out." I especially enjoyed the guitar solo at 2:07. It had a very ethereal quality and was the moment where the song really hooked me. It sort of splits the song into two distinct parts. Before the solo, we have a sort of ABAB pattern. After the solo, it's more through-composed, with some repetition of the melody, harmony, and solo. Then, at around 3:15 it shifts again to the "la la la" section, as described in the text.
I really enjoyed listening to this piece, and I plan to use it as a catalyst for exploring Radiohead more thoroughly.
