God, Radiohead make me want to cry when I'm drunk and it's late and quiet outside. Some of their recent music is so beautiful.
The first song I learned to sing AND play. That and "Fritteriing" by Mercury Rev. Doesn't sound as good without all the strings and clashing rhythms.
Yeah I don't find Radiohead all that depressing either. They've done some pretty sad songs obviously but they don't seem to bum me out. Actually I find if I am bummed out, playing something like 'How To Disappear Completely', 'Exit Music' or 'Fake Plastic Trees' can bring some relife from it! I think you're right in saying there's more beauty in their music these days, I don't think it was intended exactly, but just breaking away from the fuzzy rock of 'Pablo Honey' or 'The Bends' has really showed how elegant their songs can be.
when i listen to radiohead i dont feel depressed.. it doesn't bring my mood down at all. If anything it uplifts me, even the saddest of songs... ah i love em
