The Saddest Songs Ever (Radiohead, quote, talent)

^Oh I agree completely & in my opinion the "fast" version that Clapton does without the instrumental at the end just kinda leaves ya hangin' - "where's the exit?". But I think what I was saying in my list was that because the song is so popular, and the exit music is used a lot for media purposes, that the meaning of the song is somewhat lost in the culture, I suppose? Something like that. No bother, it's still about unrequited love and angst, still a great shout & arguable one of the saddest songs ever.

Oh, definitely; overexposure and inappropriate context can really kill a great song. That's one reason why I don't listen to the radio/watch TV, etc.
