Frasi di Thom Yorke

pagina 3

“La cosa più difficile da fare per chi fa un lavoro come il nostro è essere coerente.”

“Penso che la cosa più importante della musica sia il senso di fuga.”

“Nella storia dei Radiohead, ogni disco rappresenta un'impresa. Per costruire e andare avanti, abbiamo ogni volta demolito tutto quello che avevamo fatto fino a quel momento. Il processo creativo è sempre stato penoso, tormentato, laborioso.”

“We are accidents waiting
Waiting to happen”

“And I'm sorry for us
The dinosaurs roam the earth
The sky turns green”

“Don't walk the plank like I did
You will be dispensed with
When you've become
Inconvenient”

“In an interstellar burst
I am back to save the universe”

“You do it to yourself, you do,
And that's why it really hurts,
Is you do it to yourself, just you,
You and no-one else,
You do it to yourself.”

“Initially when it came up I tried to be pragmatic. But Blair has no environmental credentials as far as I'm concerned. I came out of that whole period just thinking, I don't want to get involved directly, it's poison. I'll just shout my mouth off from the sidelines.”

“I haven't done enough. I don't have solar panels on my house yet. I haven't sorted out the heating, my car's not a Prius, I f---ing fly all the time for my job and I hate it but at the moment I haven't really got a choice, you know, and all these things. The job I'm in is a job that wastes energy left, right and centre. It's madness.”

“Routines and schedules
A drug that'll kill you”

“I didn't really come into it expecting to make songs. It started just with random bits and pieces. I guess I thought there would be vocals, but I was thinking in terms of using little vocal shreds, and of making them part of the tapestry, not the main thing. But as soon as we had gone through the initial sketches, it became obvious that they could be quite direct. Nigel basically dragged me kicking and screaming toward the concept of them being actual songs.”

“He used to do surgery
On girls in the eighties,
But gravity always wins.”

“Open your mouth wide
A universal sigh”

“Rows of houses, all bearing down on me,
I can feel their blue hands touching me,
All these things into position,
All these things we'll one day swallow whole.
And fade out again,
And fade out…”

“You think I have the responsibilty… I have the responsibility to give the fans a good time! (nods at camera, then pauses)… that just sounds… kinky.”

“The head of state
Has called for me by name
But I don't have time for him
It's gonna be a glorious day
I feel my luck could change”

“But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here
I don't belong here”

“(about people's image of him) "I think that has a lot to do with the expression that's on my face. People are born with certain faces, like my father was born with a face that people want to hit.”

“I'm such a tease and you're such a flirt”

“That there
That's not me
I go
Where I please
I walk through walls
I float down the Liffey”

“My big problem with corporate structure is this bizarre sense of loyalty you're supposed to feel -- towards what is basically a virus. It grows or dies, like any virus. And you use it for your own selfish ends.”

“And you can laugh
A spineless laugh
We hope your rules and wisdom choke you
And now we are one
In everlasting peace
We hope that you choke, that you choke”

“Are you hungry?
Are you sick?
Are you begging for a break?
Are you sweet?
Are you fresh?
Are you strung up by the wrists?”

“It's like a supply and demand thing. It's like 'Well, this is what they want me to do, this is what they want to hear. So I'll do more of this, cuz this is great… and they love me.' Suddenly people start giving you money as well. So then you've got money and you get used to this lifestyle. And you don't wanna take any risks 'cause they've got you by the balls, and you've got all these little things that you've bought, or you're attached to. And you start spending all this money… And that's how they get ya!”

“I want to live, breathe,
I want to be part of the human race”

“Time is running out for us
But you just move the hands upon the clock
You throw coins in the wishing well
For us
You just move your hands upon the wall”

“It's basically [about] having to make a decision whether to do nothing or try to engage with it in some way, knowing that it's flawed. It's convenient to project that back on to someone personally and say they're a hypocrite. It's a lot easier to do that than actually do anything else. And yeah, that stresses me out, because I am a hypocrite. As we all are.”

“Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon”

“Karma police
I've given all I can
It's not enough
I've given all I can
But we're still on the payroll”

“I don't want to be your friend,
I just want to be your lover.”

“In pitch dark I go walkin' in your landscape
Broken branches trip me as I speak
Just 'cause you feel it doesn’t mean it’s there”
