"LET DOWN" RADIOHEAD (1997)

I wonder if Thom Yorke and the boys knew what they had when they made this. “Let Down”, like a lot of that early Radiohead, just keys into your emotions. It’s that innate, wallowing quality that makes Radiohead the perfect “rainy day” music. “Let Down” creates an epic emotional outpouring spun from a complex web of musical layers. A song that I can simply play over and over again.

“Transport, motorways and tramlines. Starting and then stopping. Taking off and landing. The emptiest of feelings. Disappointed people, clinging on to bottles. When it comes it's so, so, disappointing.”
