Radiohead Lotus Flower Single Review

SINGLE REVIEW: I’m Not surprised this video is weird Radiohead style. Parts Clockwork orange with the bolo hat on Thom Yorke – part strung out hippie. Weird handclaps with seemingly no effects on them on the song. This is raw and showcased in black and white. Makes you focus on the drone music really. It’s got all the new keyboard sound we like from Amesiac and hail to the thief loaded up in it. Is this how they see their fans though? Dancing on drugs or something? I mean this is what i do in the privacy of my kitchen sometimes. When nobody is looking. Or is he really pretending to be a flower child? I’m still chewing on the lotus flower metaphors but in all a very solid tune “do what you want”. Part of the lotus chanting is repeating things over and over so this song makes sense if you are going to pray to a flower. a form of dance medication. Think of it that way and you will see the light. You will see the light and colors in thevideo. You will become the light and the colors. You will see. See. See. See it.

You can buy The King of Limbs here.

Some of the lyrics translated from Sanskrit. 🙂

I will sneak myself into your pocket
Invisible, do what you want, do what you want
I will sink and I will disappear
I will slip into the groove and cut me up and cut me up

There’s an empty space inside my heart
Where the wings take root
So now I’ll set you free
I’ll set you free
There’s an empty space inside my heart
And it won’t take root
Tonight I’ll set you free
I’ll set you free

See this video by performance artist Suran Song she talks all about effects of space and drawing flowers and their space.
