	I think this is my favorite besides Arpeggi of the new tracks that have debuted recently.

	That's very interesting, steinbeckthepearl. I agree with your observations.

	This and Nude are totally making the best of radiohead list when they get recorded. Any thoughts on what it's about?

	A real understanding of Radiohead's world view (Weltanschauung) depends on a familiarity with the dualist religious heresy of Gnosticism. Indeed, in my opinion, Thom is a modern day musical version of the 16th Century artistic genius Hieronymus Bosch: Life is an absurd negotiation between the corrupt physical and the perfect spiritual. The Gnostics teach that we were born cursed, entrapped as "sparks" of Holy Spirit in an imperfect and cursed physical body and that, in order to free one's Spirit, the individual Soul must struggle against the worldliness of pleasure and the false security of materiality for the sake of cleanliness and spiritual freedom. If you desire to learn more about Radiohead's perception of the world, I recommend reading up on the 12th century French Cathar heresy and the Bogomils, etc. because - to a great degree - Radiohead represents a modern day dualist theology.

	i'd say this is just about understanding the pointlessness of life, losin' yourself and your mind, wondering how or why it has happened to you, and then not being able to relate to others.

	exactly, they are quite good at conveying many emotions in their music, it helps set them apart. awesome contrast the way the guitar can't seem to stick on one note too long, but the vocals are held out longer.

No Picture Nick Average	#7 by Nick Vanderstelt at Oct 4, 2007 at 11:11 PM EST
	Fantastic. I will be exploded when a studio version grazes my brain. So many interesting vocalizations.

No Picture Austin Wanna Be	#8 by Austin Skitowski at Oct 5, 2007 at 5:24 AM EST
	let's see "bodysnatchers"....alien abduction comes to mind...but "They got scared and put me down" seems more like insanity and being put away. being trapped in ones body...not of this world....

No Picture Adam Average	#9 by Adam Favro at Oct 6, 2007 at 12:26 PM EST
	It's about feeling like one's skin doesn't fit, in 'bodysnatchers' there's the realization that this skin doesn't fit because he's been forced to hide his true self i order to fit into the acts he's been playing. It's about the roles we take in life, and finding out that wearing any kind of skin that's not our own is going to rob us of our identity and our soul. it's about being trapped by a role that doesn't fit him and that he doesn't want. He realizes he is playing this role badly and tries to get out. He feels dead inside because he cannot be himself and get out of this artificial role (skin) he's been given. He realizes he was in denial at first, and thought he was fooling everyone, but he can't hide anymore. It is too obvious... there are lines on his skin because it's not his... and it doesn't fit him. So it's about the roles we are forced to play in society... any role, whether it be personal or not.

No Picture Shreder Dude Wanna Be	#10 by Shreder Dude at Oct 6, 2007 at 2:40 PM EST
	the title is probably a reference to a movie made in the 70's called the bodysnatchers, where plant like aliens invade san francisco and take peoples body's over. the movie is made up of several characters trying to get away from the city's population of people who have no choice anymore.

	"you gotta close your eyes... and groove out to this one. And think of uhh trying to escape from the Stepford Wives. That's what I think of" -Thom Yorke it's just meant to convey a sort of atmosphere of tension and paranoia. which this band is quite good at doing.

No Picture joel Average	#12 by joel christman at Oct 10, 2007 at 9:45 PM EST
	man! just heard it. awesome. can't describe it with words. AWESOME! AWESOME!

No Picture black Rhythm Player	#13 by black rose at Oct 12, 2007 at 2:43 AM EST
	I think that Thom's reference to "The Stepford Wives" has to do with escaping the boredom and sterility of conventional marriages and probably has to do with the new album's theme of suburbia. It seems to be about the idea that someone who rejects the status quo is thought a lunatic. And I think it's "I've got lies all over my face" which would mean that he has led a fake life, a 'house of cards' that he wants to escape.

No Picture Joe Average	#14 by Joe Montana at Oct 15, 2007 at 5:26 AM EST
	yep title is a reference to "Invasion of the Bodysnatchers" a 1950's film which can be interpreted as being about the fear of communists in 1950's America. Thom is drawing the comparison between the paranoia that gripped society during the cold war and the fear that permeates society today.

No Picture Jesus Professional	#15 by Jesus at Oct 18, 2007 at 11:19 PM EST
	MOST KICK ASS GUITAR RIFF EVER. That's all I can think of right now. My favourite Radiohead song aside from Lozenge of Love.
