Right away one may disagree with a song that is coming out of the 90’s to be a top five song. Well think again, it doesn’t matter how old a song is it still can be appreciated years later and kick a new songs ass. Straight out of England, Radiohead has been around making music since the mid 80’s. Radiohead fits to have a perfect indie-rock sound with the addition of piano, keyboard, and synthesizer to the guitar, bass, and drums. The supreme aspect of Talk Show Host is its ability to transform one into a trance. Getting stuck in the atmosphere of depression, the lyrics counsel the listener allowing them to relate. Thom Yorke’s voice sings the lyrics, “I want to be someone else or I’ll explode,” admitting the desire to escape into seclusion. Letting go to the song, the zombie trance takes over. If you’re thinking, “I still have not heard this song,” you’re probably wrong. In the 1996 film Romeo + Juliet - most high schools play this film - Talk Show Host introduces the scene of the initial appearance of Romeo Montague. On a sunset beach, the first four beats of the song begin forming the melody of “bom, bom, bom, bom.” Watching this scene and listening to the music, the mind makes the connection of a sad, broken heart. With this impression, it has become a song of numbness. At some point in ones life the desire to fully let go of this world and let someone else do the talking comes along. When this time is right, try listening to Talk Show Host to satisfy these emotions.
