Radiohead - Daydreaming

[@NoName-li9rx]

Probably important to know that in 2015 he and his partner of 23 years split. She passed of cancer in 2016. The year this album was released. He was going through the deepest grief. She was gone. He and his children were left to mourn. It puts this album into focus. Watch the video again. He is searching everywhere, through every door, in a hospital, ends back up in a home and there is a woman there reading a newspaper ...notice all the times he goes back into this house...looking for that which is lost. When he opens the last door he is in the snow, into a cave. And he has no discernible language to describe it. That’s grief.

[@lmlarkspur9879]

That explains everything.

[@Sandtauruspig]

Thank you.

[@28_ranggaclio]

the discernible language is "half of my life" reversed

[@lucmaxwell123]

He happens to walk through 23 doors in this video =23 years. and the last part of the song says "Half of my life." backwards. FYI

[@danbrockettDOP]

Thanks for this explanation, I had no idea and this makes the video even deeper feeling and more profound. Radiohead and PTA are a match made in heaven, they definitely "get" each other.

[@iprefernotosay1143]

This is actually what daydreaming feels like. You don't look at faces or the places you go, you don't pay any attention at all in the world around you. You open doors and pass lonely and crowded places and yet the only thing that travels through your head is your own thoughts. So the ending is like you finally find the place you were always searching to find or you weren't even searching, you just walked and the place found you.

I was in a bar in Florida and they had an empty piano sitting there. In walked a very large Russian guy speaking broken English and he asked the bartender if he could play the piano. He started playing popular show tunes and no one was really paying attention to him . He seen me looking at him and he said to me what would you like to hear and I said I'm sure you don't know the music that I like and he replied try me. I said Radiohead. He started with this song, Daydreaming, and played about 10 songs by Radiohead before he left. I asked the bartender who he was and he said I have no idea I've never seen him before. It was great almost like a ghost walked in played Radiohead and then disappeared. It was an interesting night that I enjoyed immensely.

Tommy Why So, sorry to tell you and I get you don't understand, but it is happening to you. Thom's character is dreaming back in time to our present tense; a Mal-adaptive Daydream (look it up). His "dream" begins in a man made cave surrounded by shadows of people but ends in a natural cave alone surrounded shadows of flames. He ends in the fetal position just like he did when I was a little boy in the video "Just". He is alone because the only food is other people, and if you recall from Kid A's "Idioteque", "the women and children would be first" and he'd "swallow until he burst". This dream is to see "everything in its right place", because everything has been swallowed by the sea. Ice Age coming.

This is like a reverse Allegory of the cave. He's seen everything, gone through all stages in life. He's gone as far as he needed to go and he gains nothing from being outside. He is still alone, so rather than be outside in the cold lonely world, he chooses to go back into the cave and stare directly into the fire; only because it's more comfortable, to daydream.

She's slamming the door. Parts of the video seem to be mostly about parenthood - mainly about motherhood - if you remember anything about your childhood (or parenthood) (this is to say, in quite many cases, but not all, of course), it's typically one of the hardest bits: the child slamming the door on the parent to be alone while the parent just wanted the best for them and they don't understand it yet. A lot of the imagery during the song's video refers to motherhood as well as parenthood and "over achiever" struggles, or general struggles if you don't just consider a rat race for money fulfilling, even though we all do it. Throughout the video you actually see a combination of references to motherhood and to the albums that Radiohead have done - which I suppose is a culmination of Thom's struggle to make sense of where he should belong in this world.

[@callum3878]

To me, this song/video represents one of the great tragedies of humankind. In the video, we can see Thom is looking for something. We don't know what that something is (and probably neither does Thom) but nonetheless he relentlessly pursues it, opening door after door. The places he ends up in are fairly random in nature, alluding to the idea that very rarely does the outcome of our decisions match our expectations. It's one thing to imagine (daydream) about a better future, but it's another thing to actually live it. Rather than ending up somewhere better, you just end up somewhere else. And the thing you're chasing feels no closer than it did when you started. But you continue the chase anyway because well... "dreamers, they never learn". This continual process of running away from the past and bargaining with the future is what has got us to where we are today. It's given us running water, cures to terrible diseases and the technology that allows me to share these thoughts with all of you. But make no mistake, we pay a heavy price for this, and it comes in the form of suffering. An endless suffering that wakes up with you in the morning, follows you throughout your day, goes to bed with you at night and haunts you in your dreams while you sleep. It never goes away. Towards the end, the music changes to a solemn tone. He's running out of time. He quickens his pace and desperately moves from door to door. But despite his efforts, the thing he seeks never reveals itself. Finally he arrives at a mountain. Death, in the form of a monstrous voice beckons him from the distance. Thom knows his time is up. Instead of running, he climbs the mountain to confront the monster that has taken so much from him throughout his life. But when he finally tracks it to it's cave, he realises that there is no monster. And as he lies down by the warm, cosy fire that welcomes him, he smiles as he realises his suffering is finally over. This song doesn't offer us an answer to this problem. It simply acknowledges its existence and the role it plays in our everyday lives. But in doing so, it reminds people like me that I'm not alone in this struggle, that everyone experiences it. Consciously or not. And for reasons I'm not sure about, that makes it hurt less. As the saying goes "A problem shared is a problem halved". I hope In sharing this with us, Thom has alleviated some of that suffering for himself too.

At the beginning I connected the dots between your comment and another one, which explains his vital issue around the loss of his ex-wife, whom he cheated on and even got to divorce. But after that process, she got cancer and passed away 💔 so the lyrics make even more sense to me if they talk about grief, loneliness and desperation for all those years (23 years = 23doors) wandering and losing the track of what is meaningful for him. It's like he filmed this after realising how unfruitful his journey after "the unknown" (another romance, greatness, professional recognition) has been whe he sings "Dreamers, they never learn". Until everything that he took for granted has finally disappeared ("And it's too late, the damage is done")

If you play it backwards it starts with thom saying “half of my life, half of my love. 23 years” and throughout the video it’s is him closing the doors he once opened when the video was played normally. Therefore closing the doors of the past and letting go of his wife who he had spent almost half his life with. I personally think this is one of the best videos ever created.

+Hector Reguenga well that's not what it's about tho. It's about how he just divorced his wife and all the rooms are different years he was with his wife each room is one year and in the last part that was him saying half of my life because it was half of his life that he was with her.

[@calaverastargazer8853]

I'm aware that TY's relationship influenced the writing of the song like how the low pitched words at the end say 'half of my life' and even in the video he goes across 23 rooms which is the amount of years the relationship lasted (TY was likely 46 when he wrote the song, half of his life). Even when drawing from personal experience there's an aspect of art that is left to grow on the audience. My personal interpretation is that he tried to extract the feeling of drifting apart from his partner (not wife since they never married) because of his 'daydreaming'. The listener may not had a romantic relationship like that, but may have, at some moment, felt isolated or alienated from being 'somewhere else' at times. There is actual research on a condition called 'maladaptive daydreaming' in which people self-hipnotize and drift off to fantasy worlds or cling to memories to avoid experiencing the pain of the 'material' world. He is using his own experience to relate to the world at large, art is not about meaning one absolute thing even if the creator wants to.

This just crushes my heart and head with talent and creativity. At the beginning, he was slowing pacing through the doors. He even smiled once when he was in a crowded area( a fake mask in front of others/ hiding grief). Then his pace started becoming quicker and more urgent. He preferred walking in the sunlight because it made him feel less lost in his mind. His face throughout all of it screams that he wants to cry out and yell his feelings to everyone but he can’t. His bottled up emotions are evident in his red eyes and twitching lips. He prefers to go out to nature. At first the beach, but no, that place is too crowded. So he ends up in a mountain full of snow. A mountain that describes his feelings: emptiness, cold, pale, unknown. He goes into a cave, a rather small one, contrasting to the massive mountain. It is only then that he opens his mouth and talks. He talks to himself in the small part of his mind where no one is present and no one is aware of the cave’s presence. He talks in a way only he can understand. This endless loop of going through door to door is reminiscent of the stages of grief. He is stuck in a stage before the 5th and final one: acceptance. He isn’t willing to accept the death of a loved one so he walks away from everyone, puts up a facade in front of others, and doesn’t want to face reality. He wants to go somewhere where his feelings can be accepted. He can’t let anyone know about his unwillingness to forget so he goes to the fire in the cave. And lets out his words to burn. No one will ever know about his struggle because he burned it all in his head. The only problem is that the wound and ashes remained will only be felt by him. He doesn’t want to forget this ever. He prefers to always stay in his own personal “daydream”.

At the end he's saying "half my life" backwards. The video seems to corroborate the idea that he's talking about his separation from Rachel Owen. The video appears to show him walking through all the facets of his life thus far, with him notably "going up" and changing homes, locations, vacations to the beach, hospital visits both the maternity ward and emergency room. It's really a brilliant song and video that accompanies it. In the end, he's alone in his cold, dark, cave with nothing but a small fire to keep him warm.

I was in Japan, in Takayama, experiencing the most beautiful trip of my life with my best friend. One day, returning from an excursion, I decided to take a walk in Takayama along the river under the bridges. It was raining and the sky was gray, and then this music came on. And everything seemed…magical. Like a fairy tale, like a dream that one experiences with half-closed eyelids. My feet flew above the ground, the rain ran down my cheeks, my eyes observed the waves, the gray of the mountain and the beauty of this place. And slowly, a feeling of beauty, of nostalgia, of pain from this ephemeral moment crept into my heart. One of my most beautiful memories honestly.

He always climbs up stairs. Never descends them. Always moving deeper into the building until the very end, where he ends up outside the buildings anyways and in the mountains.

He was laying right next to the fire that he had started to burn some branches. He hated his job that payed our bills, he felt trapped in his cubicle. He dreamed of playing music, traveling the world, hiking mountains...but he died at 32 right next to the fire, in front of me and our baby. The damage is done. The damage is done.

I feel like this is why he is close minded about bands like Radiohead. I hope one day he will understand the greatness of this band.

Wandering aimlessly but still on a same path as him. Seems like a dream for sure. But they all seem to be on a same path as him who seem lost but need to find a way to keep on going.

Thom Yorke is like the Vincent Van Gogh of music.

[@savannahchavez6910]

You just made me love Radiohead even more than I did

[@sonamostremendos]

David Guilmour.....

[@MrTouloir]

Thom is already popular in his lifetime, so not really ^^

[@kuyaotto135]

MrTouloir you're right. Thom Yorke is both rich and famous for his beautiful works. Vincent Van Gogh never got that. VVG was also a hopeless sad sap that couldn't ever get control of his life because of mental illness. I mean that in the most respectful way. I love Van Gogh.

[@pedropablo7364]

Enzo Ferretti i think Gilmour its more like a Gustav Klimt

[@geeman4085]

Greatest band ever. It’s weird, their music is really sad and depressive but when I listen it makes me happy. I discovered them in 95 and never stopped listening.

[@ericdavidwallace]

It’s ageless!

[@samtepal3892]

Was it the bends that you discovered

[@arturhours]

i guess it’s catharsis. knowing someone feels as sad as you means you’re not alone. there is hope.

[@azra9523]

To me, ı can't say that it makes me sad or happy. Radiohead makes me feel comfortable in myself. I can feel sadness or happiness at the same time. İt makes me peaceful i think ...

[@robvig]

Considering they’re deemed the Alienation Band why do so many feel connected to them and other fans? A mystery. I think it’s just the stimulation of braincells...most of current culture just pops mine which is why i have several firey caves 🔥 dotted around...i keep a sandpit nearby too to bury my head in.

Just got the CD today. Such an emotional song, such a great album.

[@R_A_ASMR]

I got the cd about the same time!

[@echannel11]

Probably the only song I want to hear at the very final moments of my life. So majestic, so deep, the song carries a rich but painful human experience. This piece is truly unearthly. Makes me cry every single time, just resonates with something very profound in my soul, something about life and life experience.

There's a friend who's grandfather has been having a very tough go along with his dementia, but one of the few things that helps him go on through his day is the power of music. The elderly man loves hearing Radiohead, his memories of everyone else may be fading. But he he fondly remembers many of the lyrics of many Radiohead songs, he even tries to sing with the songs when he can. There are moments he may forget who I am, but he remembers me as the jukebox guy when I put on something for him to relax to.

[@willmcpherson1977]

Thom has been through a lot. It's hard to listen to music that reflects so much suffering but it's really beautiful.

[@garretttamez7656]

I'm 22 and just discovered Radiohead (yes, I know), and I've listened to this song like 20 times today. The raw emotion, I can't get enough. This makes me feel the serenity that comes after accepting sadness. There's something restful about allowing yourself to grieve a loss.

[@Munkenba]

There aren't many bands that are almost as successful today as they were before you were born, that's how special they are. One of the very few 21st century artists that aren't completely fleeting.

[@jessikahjohnson1077]

I was 25 and discovered them

[@willritter4076]

I'd be honored if some Radiohead fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal covers of HIGH & DRY and BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY by the Verve on my YT channel in tribute to 2 of the most forward-thinking 90s bands. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and peace out.

Check out Idioteque, Pyramid song and Spinning plates. Their best songs imo
