YES, lots of Radiohead lately, sounds to express my intense current inner chaos fear confusion grief bewilderment wonder joy longing desolation and sadness. No words describe how I love this band. Black Star, Where I End And You Begin, There There, Weird Fishes, Reckoner, Codex, Give Up the Ghost, Present Tense.
Thanks guys, I love the connection.

The best version of Creep I've ever heard. I discovered this when it played on the TV in a hospital cafeteria of all places - and the whole room just hushed. I wish I could bottle that moment because it was so much a part of the experience for me. Enjoy...

Oh man, tears still, through the performance and now. It's like, yeah. I know good kids, my daughter helped me to see them, she was a great kid, and her classmates helped me more than they can know. School didn't have to be a hell-scape of fear and isolation.

I identify with the tall, skinny boy in the front row at the stage. However, just stature and build, after that, I wouldn't have felt included in anything, or know about anything. I had no choices, my home kept me neglected and excluded. Damn, so I can turn any great thing into a pity-party for poor me. But, no, it's this voice to speak, to say, you know, that was a very, very unhappy time, but I've made some good choices. My daughter and other, and I got to see great kids. Then these great kids. It's awesome, and that song, it's one that touches me in particular, very, very deeply.

So, yeah, it's gonna be Ok, yup, OK.

Thanks Eric, hadn't heard that cover and it reminded me of my personal favorite version:

It's another choral version, the one used in the film "The Social Network"

I used to be a fan then stopped for a while. I thought listening to them made me feel depressed. Now, I don't think it is quite true.

Recently, Fake Plastic Trees has been popping in my mind. The lines:

And it wears me out
It wears me out
It wears me out
It wears me out
And if I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted
All the time
All the time

self reflectively this is about my parents' demands and expectations of who I am supposed to be. It wears me out and I can't be that person they wanted me to. No-one can be that person.

Another one I always felt very personally is Street Spirit. I had not thought of that one until I wrote this post but it used to be a song I would listen when I would get depressed and dissassociate from my feelings and needs. The lines:

This machine will, will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under

That was me shutting down.

Music has alwas been my inner voice. Nowdays, I try to listen to it more often cause it guides me and tells me what I feel or need.

Eric wow, deeply affecting, lots of tears, thank you. I sang in school choirs from 1st-12th grades. Was i so young and serious and impossibly vulnerable? Back then I thought I was so grown up.
