My favourite song of all time, as it has been for over 25 years. For me, it's musical perfection. I've told my family many times over the years that I want this playing at my funeral. Even though the song in its nature is quite downbeat, Thom's falsetto "you'll know where you are" always gives me hope that one day life, and our purpose, will all make sense to us.

[@Yong_Goh]

"one day i am gonna grow wings... a chemical reaction"... gets me tear eyed everytime...

[@ohioooo566]

Me too, mate

[@GaryKirkham-ju8gw]

Being let down by people who you think are your friends, but who lead you into doing things that can damage you are the worst. Forever loving Radiohead ... 😊

[@j.p.5806]

This is my favorite sad song. I mean, it's about a monotonous life but your soul is not comfortable with that and is screaming despair and depression

[@williamthelast1]

Radiohead denied to be call " a sad band ". Always. Just looking the truth in its eyes. Not sad, not happy, just real life !! How can be happy in this world my friend ? Tell me ? I want to know ...

[@brweeks881]

This song hits different after listening to Exit Music (For a Film). Exit Music track is so much darker that Let Down its actually uplifting ironically.

[@kat19805]

Its soaring, building orchestration across the arrangement of the song is impossible not to get swept up in. Undeniably uplifting ❤

[@kat19805]

😂 Sometimes Brad, I think you are an android 😅 The trouble you have identifying the meaning/emotion behind lyrics 😂 you need your interpreter Lex 😅

[@mphutchy1]

Everyone interprets song differently, but this is clearly a metaphor for breaking away from one life,one where you have been trodden on, abused, struggling, etc and starting fresh in a new life. The metaphor being a butterfly I assume, “chemical reaction”, growing wings, flying away from it all. It even has a line like “don’t get sentimental”, suggesting the old life is not worth those thoughts. One of my favourites off this album. Crushed “like” a bug, like, not in reality! The song is nothing to do with bugs!

[@trentboyd5919]

Sometimes you just need to sit back and enjoy the music instead of focusing so much on the lyrics, you are missing out on the magic.

[@daft4718]

My favorite song from my favorite artist... very glad you finally got to hear this one Brad. A perfect encapsulation of the monotony of life and the disappointment it can so often bring, but with a finish that, despite it all, can't help but raise your spirits somewhat. The instrumentation, the vocals, the lyrics all combine so well on its own, and in terms of the album, the transition from Exit Music (for a Film) --> Let Down --> Karma Police is one of my favorite strings ever. Now you just have to post the Weird Fishes reaction! If Let Down's my favorite, Weird Fishes is definitely second. 😁

[@tylerhackner9731]

One of my favorite songs off of one of my favorite albums

[@Sherdelune]

The ending when everything really comes together is just ::chefs kiss:: To me it's so uplifting and beautiful.

[@IvanFlavin]

Hes trying to rise above the mundane. He wants to leave his caccoon, grow wings, and fly away. He knows it will never happen, but wouldn't it be nice?

[@irishpaul3129]

Your analysis of lyrics is waaay too literal

[@ThePsychologistofTerror]

“One day i am gonna grow wins”

[@tamcon72]

It's a metaphor, Brad!

[@Jadamhodges]

Thank you very much for sharing this song experience with us Brad!😊

[@adamdodgshon638]

Might just be my favourite Radiohead track of all time. Always loved the crescendo, and the vulnerability in the lyrics.

[@PresidentHotdog]

Radiohead are well known for writing about bugs, worms and moths. On one of Thom's solo projects he wrote a song from the perspective of a spider called 'Last I Heard (...He Was Circling the Drain)'.

[@GhostlyEcheveria]

My favorite song from this album is Subterranean Homesick Alien, but it's a tie between Airbag, Let Down, and No Surprises for my second favorite.

[@vincevirtua]

"Is this song about bugs or somethin". Classic

[@TheInevitableTruth-i2k]

Yeah Brad it's about bugs.. Come on man🙄🤦‍♂... 😆 You could tell it's a moody song though.

[@chuquiii]

Dude, really?

[@raghavsahu929]

Exactly dude, about bugs? Tf!

[@iainprendergast8311]

One of my favourite tunes of all time. Toots and the mytsls do it justice

[@chessyfairbanks]

Toots hibbert has a great reggae cover of this with the Easy Star All Stars

[@jasonmartinez4987]

I came here to post this. One of the best covers. It give me chills.

[@shep4life]

This song is ethereal

[@novrigent]

Dont try to hard for the lyric, try enjoy it with your eyes close, you will feel sad and happy in the same time. Forever loving Radiohead.

[@dan.j.boydzkreationz]

It's about depression and circumstances being uncomfortable

[@lennongaz]

This cd dropped at the baby stages of the internet.

[@SURGASURGE12]

underrated

[@trentboyd5919]

You’re not the sharpest tool in the shed are you?

[@Jadamhodges]

Brad is an extremely understanding person who gets things differently than you do. Radiohead’s music and other music is not as cut and dry as maybe even you would think. Many metaphors have multiple meanings and uses. Sometimes the words just fit after the song is written… gotta get the syllables right and everything else… I can appreciate Brad’s interpretation greatly as well as another person who says something completely different.

[@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek]

​@@Jadamhodgesmusic is open to interpretation but saying it's about bugs is cretinous.

[@nigelpogson5411]

​@@Jadamhodgesradiohead songs are about emotion. Sadly I don't think Brad has any, judging by his other reactions as well!

[@AdamHodges-o6x]

@@nigelpogson5411Sometimes they are about three different things. It gets even deeper.

[@Ryszze]

It's not about bugs. He's singing "crushed LIKE a bug in the ground". Crushed AS THOUGH you're a bug. But it's not about bugs. Otherwise great reaction.

[@lucasargandona4658]

[@vintbolton6510]

Pedro the lion ( David bazan) does an amazing version of this song, honestly really feels like Pedro the lion could have written this song in their “control” days you can really hear Thom Yorkes influence on bazan in this track especially including the very bleak lyrics with a hint of hope in them a learned lyrical melancholy if you will

[@brunocardenas5832]

I just hate how you enjoy this song, it is not for that
