A list of songs that you may not have heard but really should’ve. IMO this b-side’s among the best Radiohead songs ever recorded (says ALOT) and it should’ve been on the bends or ok computer… I’ve always thought it was about Montag from Fahrenheit 451 – firebombing a house, a beautiful girl, car that goes, etc. The chorus is amazing and, for better or worse, true. _______________________________________ “I wrapped you inside my coat When they came to firebomb the house I didn’t feel pain, ’cause no one can touch me Now that I’m held in your spell A beautiful girl A beautiful girl can turn your world into dust Sell me a car that goes Sell me a house that stands I never cared before, I never cared before I never cared before, before, before, before A beautiful girl A beautiful girl can turn your world into dust A beautiful girl A beautiful girl can turn your world into dust I stood in front of her face When the first bullet was shot”
is stupid to put that poor band even in the same scentence where radiohead is, i mean Thom and co. are one of the best,these days no matter wich song they record, it’s gonna sound great live, that makes them real
freakin’ awesome b-side. i dont wanna be a spammer, but you can download it at guvera and radiohead still gets paid by their advertisers, its win win. i like to see a good artist get the money they deserve, you know
very intense.
AWESOME! Addictive , donno when can i stop listening to this, so beautiful in its mix of genres and beats.. wanna experience the same, dowload the entire album for free at DownloadMusic/./im, Remove the slashes.
I love the guitar so much that I allways forget to listen to the lyrics
this is the closest song i’ve heard them come to oasis.
This song is wonderful. I love the note he hits when he says spell
Coldplay steals from many other bands (even Radiohead as the singer tries to sound like Thom) while Radiohead, like a real band, takes their influences and molds them into something that represents themselves to show deep meaning.
if you have heard radioheads enitre catalogue, you would know it is impossible to draw a comparison between them and any other group.

Well than we can just agree to disagree,
thus making it a matter of opinion,
PS I love Radiohead as well…
@Cameraniac
i’d say Radiohead stirs the soul on a much deeper level than Coldplay could ever hope to achieve. sure, love songs are Coldplay’s forte, and Thom Yorke doesn’t write that many love songs, but when he does, he taps into the territory that Chris simply doesn’t dare to touch. and anyway, a song doesn’t have to be a love song to hit the soul emotionally.
plus, Radiohead is much more interesting musically, there’s just no contest.
one of my favourite songs as well…
and i’ve learnt something new, i’ve been listening to this song for about 10 years and always thought he was singing “smile” instead of “spell”!
@ThomYorkesHead
I wouldn’t say they pale in comparison, if Coldplay’s message comes through some simple structure true, but the fact they can hit my G-Spot for emotion in music I was surprised. There are a handful of talented bands such as Radiohead but there are very few bands that hit the soul like Coldplay.
However, I completely agree with those people who say that Coldplay simply pales in comparison to Radiohead, in every way, shape and form. But still, I cannot bring myself to hate a band capable of writing something as touching as Easy to Please and I Bloom Blaum. I’m such a softy, I know.
I agree with you, lyrically and thematically Coldplay is a very different band to Radiohead.
Coldplay is a bit more on the emotional romantic side. Parachutes and a few Coldplay B-sides were a soundtrack to some of the saddest moments of my life, and I’m very grateful for that.
Just because they appeal to different people doesn’t mean they are equally valuable to music. Radiohead is far better and those that enjoy Radiohead more have better taste in music.
Taste meaning the things they value in music are better, more intelligent values to hold.
of course all the “coldplay is better” comments will get all the thumbs down on a RADIOHEAD video.
The fact is, they appeal to different people, I love both, I knew Radiohead first and longer.
Radiohead IS more original, but Coldplay WAS really good as well.
They appeal to different audiences. Radiohead is unique, ambient and almost euphoric when Coldplay is huge on the emotional aspects (especially love).
People take different things out these bands but they are different genres.
This song is beatifully composed… I love it!
aye..agree..nice parable hahaha
When I get a green house my plants will grow to radion head…..Everything from KIDA onward.
i think this song sounds like something from pink floyd.
I tottally feel the Beatles/Lennon influence in this song
BEAUTIFUL.
radiohead thanks……………..
Best b-side ive ever heard…
Agreed. but I really miss the old Radiohead :S The only band I love like radiohead actually, is one hiting strong in some Italians radiostations not being a million dollar production has a very interesting stuff. Search SWAVE IN THE FUTURE and u will understand what I mean
This is my first time here and this post was indeed thought provoking. I find there is a gap between the no. of readers and the comments . I personally think that even though I ask questions not many come fwd to answer. And believe you me, my questions are not ‘Big Bang theory’ types.
