Don't get sentimental, it always ends up drivel
So I know I said all my vids were dedicated to Mey this week.. and they
still are but I wanted to share Mani's fave radiohead song with her.
Maybe these songs will be as therapeutic for her as they have been for
me. My bf and his friends refer to Radiohead songs as " i want to kill
myself" songs. On the contrary, the one thing about Radiohead songs
that makes them so therapeutic to people everywhere is that after
they've thoroughly evaluated everything that is bleak and shit in life,
they always have this strange way at the end to present a clear
undertone that implies hope. So really, Radiohead songs are always
hopeful and so it's not, as you say, " i want to kill myself" music..
it's totally therapeutic and more beautiful than anything else I've
found on earth.
So, I know my bf doesn't delve to deep into the meaning of the lyrics and songs and I think he views this as one of Radiohead's love songs which aren't so politically charged. .. er.. that's not quite true, there is like one line that mentions love at all in this song but other than True Love Waits, A punchdrunk lovesick singalong ( B side) and you know those love songs that are more about self-loathing than love anyways ( Creep and Thinking about you).. Fake Plastic Trees may be as close to a love song as you're going to get out of these fellows for awhile.
I think with Fake Plastic Trees Radiohead is making a social commentary but I'll let you interpret it as you see fit.
In any case, the song is beautiful, Thom's voice is at it's peak and this is definitely a defining song that drew me deeper into this dark obsession-land of extreme fandom. ( but it was never my favourite... weird huh?)
I've been trying to think about something else to share on my blog but as of late, I don't really have anything worthwhile to share. I'm working on applications for grad school, and I've been spending more time talking to Mani on the phone ( he's so sweet he called and stayed up until 4 in the morning to make me feel better).
OMG... my stupid cheapass desk lamp from IKEA keeps turning on and off by itself.. stupid piece of junk @#$Q@#%Q@$.. scares the shit out of me. I swear I'm goign to toss it out my window.. if only the pizza delivery men would move.
Also, I haven't been putting up posts because everyone seems to be going through a traumatic period.. and what are my biggest worries?? That nobody will be translating the subtitles for Naruto anymore and I'll have ended the series at episode 166. Stupid nerd bf who introduced me to ninja anime....
joking :) He's so cute!!!!! and so is Naruto, Rock Lee, Hinata, Shikamaru, Neji...
Ok.. so today my friends were trying to get a hold of me to go clubbing YET AGAIN and then my friend Loughlin was trying to get me to go to a bar... i've reached a new low.. as I'm at home downloading songs from the 80's and 90's and Naruto 168 while my friends are getting hammered and having fun.
However, I DID get to talk to Mani for a long time so it was worth not going. He might be going to Hong Kong to teach english to earn some money before he finally settles in Canada permanently ( atleast for 4 years anyways) and how could I expect him to turn down this opportunity. They sell shit there for super cheap so I told him to buy me something pretty.. and nothing electronic because that seems to be the only thing on his mind when you mention hong kong... cheap nerd toys.
ok.. this entry is way too long.. I'm goign to go sleep now
