[@MattyStarfish]

[@341techman]

this is 90s as fuck

[@LeveyHere]

Best Radiohead album, one of the best albums of all time, and one of, if not the, best songs on the album. Flawless.

[@Christian-97]

Probably the best song on the album, love how the intro riffs just let you know what a ride you're in for.

[@briancox9357]

Bullet Proof is an incredible track

[@andeegreen]

Whenever I hear Radiohead from Pablo Honey I just can't comprehend that 3 or 4 years prior was the 80s!! This song is the same... They were maybe a step TOO far ahead, but so glad that they were there for me in the 90s. Such a great band.

[@RazrHack]

If you're referring to the lyrics, "The planet is a gun boat in a sea of fear" may be my favourite line ever written for a song. I've been spending months trying to figure out what it means.

[@tadflobug]

did you figured it out?

[@vzmol]

​@@tadflobug someone mentioned existential crisis and I cannot agree more. So while there are times when he just stares out of a window, asking "where do we go from here" and feeling alone, sometimes he feels the whole world pressing and "chasing" him. That would be the part with the gunboat. Then he's at the bar to forget all these problems, but the doubts stay. Having a girlfriend but desperately wishing for a real friend. Wanting to show who he really is, but being afraid to do so. Wishing to have meaningful place in the society, being useful, being fulfilled and happy. Being able to breath freely... For me, the strongest thing here is, that he uses the same lyrics at the beginning and at the end. It's wrapped around the whole song. In the beginning the "where are you now, when I need you" is in a tone of, I would say despise - and the same line at the end is a broken wish for someone to come and comfort him. When the song ends, the "when I need you..." seems like all he's been trying to tell the whole time. Not all the nonsense with wishing it was the 60's or being blown away by CIA. He's just feeling really alone deep in his soul... I just reminded myself, that I know this feeling too well :-)

[@deadbunnyeyes190]

@@vzmol thanks! this interpretation made this song better or more relatable for me

[@Christian-97]

@@vzmol Even though Thom has apparently said this song isn't meant to be taken seriously, that's an awesome analysis.

[@ajsledzep]

I love this song, and seeing the energy of them performing "The Bends" live on this set just sends the message home. The song captures the thoughts and feelings of political and social anxieties/ depression down to the T. Existential crisis at it's finest.

[@davidedward2352]

Perhaps the best band to Not be in the rock and roll hall of fame.

Thom Yorke was so phenomenal then, I was there at Glastonbury in 94 and other times, but he was so lively and wonderful. I loved it so much. Taking photos of him going on stage - etc. Loved him. Shame how life catches up on all of us. Thom no longer looks like the gorgeous blonde, nor do I.

RADIOHEAD - THE BENDS Where do we go from here? The words are coming out all weird Where are you now when I need you? Alone on an aeroplane Fall asleep on against the window pane My blood will thicken I need to wash myself again To hide all the dirt and pain Cause I'd be scared that there's nothing underneath But who are my real friends? Have they all got the bends? Am I really sinking this low? My baby's got the bends, oh no We don't have any real friends, no, no, no Just lying in the bar with my drip feed on Talking to my girlfriend, waiting for something to happen I wish it was the sixties, I wish I could be happy I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen Where do we go from here? The planet is a gunboat in a sea of fear And where are you? They brought in the CIA The tanks and the whole marines to blow me away To blow me sky high My baby's got the bends We don't have any real friends Just lying in the bar with my drip feed on Talking to my girlfriend, waiting for something to happen I wish it was the sixties, I wish I could be happy I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen I wanna live, breathe I wanna be part of the human race I wanna live, breathe I wanna be part of the human race, race, race, race Where do we go from here? The words are coming out all weird Where are you now when I need you?

I was going to say nobody is really this honest and straightforward these days if they look like Thom Yorke but that was what came out of Google autosuggest so I had to say it 👏

[@gonza55558]

"Am i really sinking this low?" La canción que mejor describe la sensación de cuando tus amigos desaparecen en las malas; cuando estás en el suelo, y te das cuenta que nunca fueron amigos verdaderos. Lo hace en la letra, pero también lo hace a la perfección en la ira y la impotencia de la música. "The Bends" es la perfecta analogía. Así se le llama en ingles a un síndrome que afecta a menudo a los buzos, cuando descienden demasiado rápido a lo profundidad del mar, entonces se ven expuestos a un descenso brusco de presión atmosférica, que puede incluso ocasionar la muerte. Entonces cuando el sujeto se pregunta "but where are my real friends? Have they all got the bends? Am i really sinking this low?" (¿Donde están mis verdaderos amigos? ¿Todos tienen el síndrome? ¿Realmente me he hundido tanto?). Es decir, cuando te "hundiste", tus "amigos" rápidamente desaparecieron. "¿realmente me he hundido tanto que me abandonaron mis amigos?.
