It's true. I love Radiohead. I have since the first moment I heard them. In fact, I have one of their lyrics ("Immerse Your Soul in Love") tattooed across my collarbone.
Today I was stumbling around the internet and came across a YouTube video of Thom Yorke performing "Videotape". It's just Mr. Yorke and a piano, and I think it's perfect in both its simplicity and its beauty.
Videotape
When I'm at the pearly gates This'll be on my videotape My videotape My videotape
When Mephistopheles is just beneath And he's reaching up to grab me
This is one for the good days And I have it all here In red blue green In red blue green
You are my center when I spin away Out of control On videotape On videotape
This is my way of saying goodbye Because I can't do it face to face So I'm talking to you before it's too late
No matter what happens now I shouldn't be afraid Because I know today has been the most perfect day I've ever seen
There are few things in this world that touch my soul the way a well-crafted song can. If I were to lose my sense of hearing, I honestly don't know if I would chose to continue living.
I think what I really like about the site is the fact that you can not only create your own piece, but view a gallery of others as well. It's always interesting to see what other people will come up with when given the chance to use their imagination.
"Beware the office gossips!"
Sure, it's not as good as being outside with real paint...but it certainly helps break up an otherwise tedious day!
Maybe I can compromise when I get home and add a bottle of wine and some french bread to the mix. Certainly that will help me feel more like a real artist!
