Hiatus

I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted. I will be back SOON, I promise.

In the meantime, listen to this new song by Thom Yorke, who could possibly be the greatest musician in the world.

Many folks are perceiving this song as a “suicide note.” I can definitely see where they are coming from, the song has a lot of regret in the lyrics and even in the tone of the song.

However, I feel like if this was truly a suicide song, it would end with “This is my way of saying goodbye… Cause I can’t do it face to face or talking to you after it’s too late..” but the song continues and offers hope to the listener… “No matter what happens now, I won’t be afraid because I know, today has been the most perfect day, I’ve ever seen…”

I can remember a few perfect days in my past and they still give me that feeling of warmth and wholeness inside to this day. I also am betting that I have a few in store for me down the road a bit. That feeling of pure joy that overrides any feeling of pain or sorrow.

I do not think that Thom is contemplating suicide; rather I believe that he is thoughtfully revisiting his past. His failures embarrass him but when he digs a little deeper, he remembers the things that count…

Regardless, this song is ABSOLUTELY beautiful, enjoy…
