Daydreaming


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTAU7lLDZYU

The opening of Radiohead’s Glastonbury headline set, July 2016. We listened to this and made you, baby.

It's so beautiful.


Dreamers
They never learn
They never learn
Beyond, beyond the point
Of no return
Of no return
And it's too late
The damage is done
The damage is done

This goes
Beyond me
Beyond you
The white room
By a window
Where the sun comes
Through

We are
Just happy to serve
Just happy to serve
You

Coincidences abound. Nothing accidental here. Nothing left to chance. Nothing 'off the cuff'.


Thom Yorke is 49. He met his wife, the artist Rachel Owen, when they were both 24. She died of a brain tumour 18/12/16, 

1- He is wearing Rick Owen shoes on the video. Same initial and same last name as his wife. 

2 - He walks through 23 doors in the video, the same amount of years they were together. They are the Dreamers. She is the dreamer. They  never learnt. She went beyond the point of no return. It is too late, the damage is done.  This goes beyond him or her to a white room (hospital) where the sun comes through.

3 - At this point you start hearing a series of painful crying or moaning, as if someone is taking their last breath and the music climaxes. You hear the heavy breathing, as if the female voice leaves, and only the male breathing continues, as he escapes to the mountains in heavy exhales. Then "I miss you, I really miss you, I miss you, I love you so, I miss you so, I need you so". 

4 - He falls sleep, the screen fades to black. The backwards audio at the end is Thom intoning the phrase ‘half of my life’ over and over.

5 - I have been dreaming of a pristine white-walled room, with wooden floorboards, that opens onto a huge deserted beach, since Lucy died. I know it. I know it.
