Biography

Electronic and alternative rock (modern rock) band from Oxfordshire, England (United Kingdom). The name Radiohead comes from the [a=Talking Heads] song, "Radio Head", from the "[url=http://www.discogs.com/Talking-Heads-True-Stories/master/39386]True Stories[/url]" album. Formed by school friends in 1985, Radiohead did not release their first single until 1992's "[Link]". The cathartic "[url=http://www.discogs.com/Radiohead-Creep/master/21481]Creep[/url]", from the debut album "[url=http://www.discogs.com/Radiohead-Pablo-Honey/master/13344]Pablo Honey[/url]" (1993), became a worldwide hit as grunge music dominated radio airwaves. Radiohead were initially branded as a one-hit wonder abroad, but caught on at home in the UK with their second album, "[url=http://www.discogs.com/Radiohead-The-Bends/master/17008]The Bends[/url]" (1995), earning fans with their dense guitar atmospheres and front man [a=Thom Yorke]'s expressive singing. The album featured the hits "[url=http://www.discogs.com/Radiohead-High-Dry-Planet-Telex/release/199387]High & Dry[/url]", "[Link]" and "[url=http://www.discogs.com/Radiohead-Fake-Plastic-Trees/master/21526]Fake Plastic Trees[/url]". The band's third album, "[url=http://www.discogs.com/Radiohead-OK-Computer/master/21491]OK Computer[/url]" (1997), propelled them to greater attention. Popular both for its expansive sound and themes of modern alienation, the album has been acclaimed by critics as a landmark record of the 1990s, some critics go as far to consider it one of the best of all time. "[url=http://www.discogs.com/Radiohead-Kid-A/master/21501]Kid A[/url]" (2000) marked further evolution, containing influences from experimental electronic music. "[url=http://www.discogs.com/Radiohead-Hail-To-The-Thief/master/16962]Hail To The Thief[/url]" (2003) was seen as a conventional return to the guitar and piano-led rock sound. After fulfilling their contract with EMI, Radiohead released "[url=http://www.discogs.com/Radiohead-In-Rainbows/master/21520]In Rainbows[/url]" (2007) famously via a pay-what-you-want model. Their latest album, "[url=https://www.discogs.com/Radiohead-A-Moon-Shaped-Pool/master/998252]A Moon Shaped Pool[/url]", was released in May 2016. Radiohead's original influences were cited as alternative rock and post-punk bands like [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Smiths,+The]The Smiths[/url], [a=Pixies], [a=Magazine], [a=Joy Division] and [a=Siouxsie & The Banshees], who Thom Yorke claims inspired him to become a performer, and [a=R.E.M.] (with lead singer of the band, Thom Yorke, referring to himself as an 'R.E.M. groupie'). Band members: Thom Yorke – vocals, guitar, piano, keyboards, laptop (1985–present) Colin Greenwood – bass guitar (1985–present) Ed O'Brien – guitar, effects, backing vocals (1985–1990, 1990–present) Philip Selway – drums, percussion (1985–present) Jonny Greenwood – guitar, keyboards, ondes Martenot, glockenspiel, laptop, orchestral arrangements (1988–present) Current live members: Clive Deamer – drums, percussion (2011–present) Former members: Rasmus "Raz" Peterson – tenor saxophone, alto saxophone (1985–1989) Liz Cotton – alto saxophone (1988–1989) Charlotte Cotton – alto saxophone (1988–1989) Nigel Powell – drums (1990) Previous names: On a Friday (1985–1990, 1990–1991) Shindig (1990)

LYRICS

I will shake 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 weeds take root
And now I'll set you free
I'll set you free
There's an empty space inside my heart
Where the weeds take root
Tonight I'll set you free
I'll set you free

Slowly we unfurl
As lotus flowers
Cuz all I want is the moon upon a stake
Just to see what is, just to see what is
I can't kick your habit
Just to feed your fast ballooning head
Listen to your heart

We will shake and be quiet as mice
While the cat is away, do what we want, do what we want

There's an empty space inside my heart
Where the weeds take root
So now I set you free
I set you free

Cuz all I want is a moon upon a stake
Just to see what is, just to see what is
Oh, a bird has flown into my room
Slowly we unfurl
As lotus flowers
Cuz all I want is the moon upon a stake
Or dance around a pit
The darkness is beneath
I can't kick your habit
Just to feed your fast ballooning head
Listen to your heart
