Octavarium by Dream Theater is a concept album that ties in a lot of ideas together but I can’t convince anyone of it- if you want you can take a look at it
@kjl3080

People say it’s not a concept album, but I’ve always seen the main idea is you create many ways to face adversity and cope (negative or not), only to end up where you started, with a better understanding of your place. Hell, the self titled closer says “we move in circles… the story ends where it begins” removing all interpertation needed for it. Even the album cover is a Newton’s cradle, a symbol of cyclic nature. Every song on the album focuses on this idea I would say it almost mirrors siddhartha by Herman Hesse in ideology and the Buddhist idea of samsara I’ve worked on a script for a video essay on it a year ago but I never finished it

The last album my dad listened to from Radiohead was TKOL and he’s been listening to Radiohead since the release of Pablo Honey. We recently got the album on vinyl, and I’m excited to see what he thinks of it! It’s definitely in my Top 4 of Radiohead’s discography

I agree with David Byrne of Talking Heads saying that AMSP is cinematic. The album really feels like a movie soundtrack, and the highlights are 3 subtle piano tracks: Daydreaming = beginning, Glass Eyes = middle, True Love Waits = end. I'm sure there's a reason why they arranged the tracklist, that way, besides the alphabetical order.

‘True love waits in haunted attics. And true love lives on lollipops and crisps’ these lyrics are amazing. They feel like love lost as you grow older and away from being scared of haunted attics and away from the times you spent with them eating lollipops and crisps.

It must have been quite a meal to take this bands discography in such a short time. When I was in school I devoured many a bands catalog. It can be overwhelming and intoxicating. I’ve really enjoyed these album thematic dissections as I’m a groove/sound junky. I pick up words, ideas and themes here and there but especially with bands I love, I just peek in, here and there. Radiohead have triggered immense emotion in me and it’s mostly evoked by sound. I have been suffering from an unknown illness for over 30 years that wasn’t diagnosed until last year but these sounds and vocals comforted and simultaneously exposed me to the core of what has been stripped away on almost a daily basis as it turned out to be a neurological immune disease. It has spared no part of me and is beginning to take larger bites at a time when I’ve never been happier yet more afraid and feel the loss so acutely. Maybe because Thom has always laid bare, a commercially risky artistic place to exist in, that somehow through transmutation, I’ve been given permission to purely be. It’s the only music that has ever affected me in this way, so ironically it has given me so much joy. Looking forward to others you might cover.

Fantastic analysis, loved every bit of it. AMSP is a beautiful, heartbreaking album, and maybe my favorite from Radiohead (still debating with myself), it's darkness, it's pretty moments, it's lyrics and music, it's powerful and yet one of the most depressing things I've heard too. You put into words a lot of the thoughts I had of the songs (as a fellow Present Tense truther I salute you), great work, will definitely check out the rest!!! PS: The second I heard that first synth of Seeds of the Crown, I knew this would be a great video, love Hyper Light Drifter

I remember actually being a bit disappointed at first. Looking back, I cannot believe it tbh. It has become one of my favorite RH albums. I saw them in Santa Barbara on this tour and as always, they were absolutely amazing.

They’ve been with me from their beginnings and a fine friend to me despite my understanding of where I’m at on this crazy ride. Love the weird noises, the weird fishes.

Great video about a brilliant album. Thank you for making this, keep it up, love to see them all! Edit: I have to agree with you about Present Tense being my favourite too, I am a brit and haven’t heard of Tinker Tailor game but it seems like it could’ve been like the british version of eenie meanie miny moe catch a tiger by it’s toe… However what the great song is about has kind of been a mystery. There is not much to go of lyrically, but I personally think it’s about, that secretly there are some really terrible humans out there, staying hidden “in the shadows” or in the “holes” “out of sight and out of mind” such as internet trolls possibly, (which shares continuity with Burn the Witch) “the lonely” and “the one you light your fires to keep away” and just ignore “I don’t want to know”. It’s about the grime of mankind, and the careless who are manipulating and destroying the Earth, creating this post-apocalyptic imagery of the birds staying up in the trees and the fish swimming down to the deep, even nature has had enough of us humans, we are extremely close to ruining it all for everyone and close to going beyond the point of no return. Global warming is real, much to some fools disbelief. These are the ignorant who live in the holes, the grey expressionless silhouettes as seen on Stanley Donwood’s brilliant art work and talked about in Burn the Witch the ones being compared to babies crawling on their bellies. Thom turns the metaphors around on the last few lines, he talks on behalf of nature “come to me before it’s too late”. We must change our thinking, we the people have this power to shed light on this ignorance, and sometimes it can be as easy as just saying yes. That is my analysis on this songs meaning anyway, you may think I’m crazy, maybe just killing time, talking into a void, apologies for getting quite political but I think this was possibly Thom’s thought process in 2016 and it’s a shame to see that not much has really changed since then… Let me know what you think Stemp and thanks again for the video. Hope this song can click with you one day and you can appreciate it. 👍

I see thay you used the True Love Waits (Shoegaze version) that's been around on KZitem, its such an awesome edit of that beautiful song, me being a fan of both Radiohead and Shoegaze, it such a perfect combination that I whis had more to it than just some few edits. Anyhow, just finished watching all your Radiohead videos and can simply tell that you gained a new suscriber, I like this kind of video of analysis and storytelling of an album, showing the history of each track seems really interesting to me, it would be cool if you could do it with the remaining Radiohead albums and other ones, guessing that you like Shoegaze would be cool if you talked about Loveless by mbv or Souvlaki by Slowdive, or even darker shoegaze like Deathconsciusness by Have a Nice Life or others you know really. Thank you for these videos I love them so much and good luck with your life and proyects!

Decks Dark always made me feel this kind of "Third Impact" musical sequence (from Evangelion) feeling. Even before i watched Evangelion for the first time. I'd LOVE this True Love Waits version, if it wasn't for that little throat thing that happens at the 2:02 of the song. One technical second that distracts me from the overall sensation/experience of the song. Without headphones you don't notice it as much though.
