Song: "No Surprises"
Artist: Radiohead
Album: OK Computer
I get an ironic sense from this song. It’s saying something like:
“Damn, look at the state of the world! Give me some ear plugs and a pretty garden and I’ll just live quietly. In the mean time, bring down the government cause they don't speak for us.”As if a revolution is something you can order from room service. Yet this captures a prevailing attitude, at least in it's own time.
Sonicaly, the produced version of the song is beautiful and builds from relaxed to urgent with layers of fantastically crafted sound.
This is the acoustic version from youtube:
