♪ Thinking about you ♪

This is a Beautiful song, I was listening to it today and hadn't really sat and appreciated it in a long while, well it feels like a long while.

I was on the Veranda at my Grandmothers/Mothers place up in Umina and enjoying a smoke and thinking of Rhiannon as I have been doing on an epic scale, I really do need a find a word to properly express how much I do think of her.

So here's the songs lyrics, its not really the best song to be listening to and then read the song lyrics and realise that you connected, you connected it with a girl that you love, but I love the song, I love the girl, I am still thinking about her.

Going through the song I do connect with it, not necessarily the pure meaning Thom had, but the essence of the song.

To me its simple, Thom York is singing about a girl that he is crazy about and cannot stop thinking about, lets look beyond the fame remarks (unless that is in regards to her talking to him?)

The song starts off, so light, so beautiful, acoustic Guitar, this is the sought of song that I would envision is played during a movie (fading in and out of course) where the couple go for a picnic, romance, you get the idea.

I think Radioheads blatant acoustic Guitar is making me want to re-learn Guitar (properly) and give it a go.

I can't sing, but maybe I can enjoy acoustic Guitar.

Through the lyrics, all of his thinking, he feels overwelmed by her and this is all shortly met by his insecurities, his feelings, his loneliness.

Enough Delay, Thinking about you - Radiohead:

Been thinking about you
Your record's a hit
Your eyes are on my wall
Your teeth are over there
But I'm still no one
And you're my star
What do you care?

Been thinking about you
And there's no rest
Should I still love you
Still see you in bed
But I'm playing with myself
What do you care?
When the other men are far far better

All the things you've got
All the things you need
Who bought you cigarettes
Who bribed the company to come and see you honey?

I've been thinking about you
So how can you sleep
These people aren't your friends
They're paid to kiss your feet
They don't know what I know
And why should you care
When I'm not there

Been thinking about you
And there's no rest
Should I still love you
Still see you in bed
But I'm playing with myself
What do you care?
When I'm not there.

All the things you've got
That you'll never need
All the things you've got
I've bled and I'd bleed to please you
... honey

Been thinking about you..



This is a beautiful song and no doubt for a beautiful girl Thom knew or knows.

I'm just glad I don't have to write such a passionate and strong song (with such a dark light) for a beautiful girl in my life.
