Why hasn't /pol/ talked about Radiohead's new song "Burn the Witch", Its lyrics are pro-refugees and anti-rightwing. Normally you guys get triggered on stuff like this pretty quickly. Does /pol/ not like Radiohead?

[Verse 1]
Stay in the shadows
Cheer at the gallows
This is a round up

[Pre-Chorus 1]
This is a low flying panic attack
Sing a song on the jukebox that goes

[Chorus]
Burn the witch
Burn the witch
We know where you live

[Verse 2]
Red crosses on wooden doors
And if you float you burn
Loose talk around tables
Abandon all reason
Avoid all eye contact
Do not react
Shoot the messengers

[Pre-Chorus 2]
This is a low flying panic attack
Sing the song of sixpence that goes

[Chorus]
Burn the witch
Burn the witch
We know where you live
We know where you live

Seems like you're reaching TBQH.

>>73475984
I'm not reaching.
the guy who wrote and sang is saying that.

They probably are meant to be pro-refugee but they are vague enough that I will interpret them to be anti-refugee.
>>
>>73475637
No they're not. It can easily be interpreted the other way around too as a criticism of religious dogma (Islam). It seems to me just like a commentary on the abandonment of reason. Also maybe a subtle dig at the demonisation of our supposed enemies like Russia and Iran.

I always thought only crackheads and potheads listened to Radiohead. And 14 years old who think that music is deep.

>>73475637
because no one has listened to radiohead since like 2004

they have 5 good songs, most of which on 1 album OK Computer.

This. Thom Yorke usually has a more neutral opinion on such things. He is more of a deep conspiracist with a fascination with the ruling elite and their grand plans. Just look at Hail to the Thief.

it amazes me how people don't realize how much leftism promotes groupthink nowadays. I guess it's an example of groupthink, convince everyone that the opposing view engages in groupthink, but the way you're convincing people is through groupthink itself,.

Stop being such a faggot and post where Yorke went out and said it was about refugees. Right now you posted the animator's analysis from a liberal publication and a random unsourced statement from Wikipedia without so much as a reference.

If anything I got the opposite vibe, people on the right are the ones getting called out for heresy against the left's secular morality that dominates the state.

But knowing that Thom's a bit of an SJW, supposedly the video creator chose it's style to insult le ebil countryside England and a bunch of shitty dildo sites like the Guardian and p4k have argued that it's against right-wing badthink it could very well be, I'm not sure.

Enjoyable enough song though.

Musicians are insufferable cocksuckers 90% of the time. Literally the most selfish, vile, and out-of-touch people you will ever meet at times. Who the fuck cares what the song is about famalam.

Nah, man. When several people on here independently come to the conclusion that you're wrong, that's not groupthink. That just means you're wrong.

why are those men who are pointing swords at the white woman dressed like they are in a satanic party? and i dont mean like LaVey edgy atheist type i mean like those you would expect to be versed in the occult worship of Baal/Moloch also they seem to be forming a spining hexagram could it be related to Saturn worship? i think this song is anti-refugee and probably anti-kabbalah but i could be wrong since everything seems so subtle

Radiohead makes shitty ''music''.
No one cares.

I listened to this, the song is shit and you can't even tell what he says. Even their ''fans'' who pretend to be cool by listening to their music aren't going to make out the lyrics, so who cares?

There is no best song and one song isn't enough to form an opinions.
My favorite song is The Loneliness of a Tower Crane Driver, which is a very slow song which I don't think most people would like.

This is something I think people would enjoy more.

it's a tribute to the wicker man


Also, I think Burn the Witch was written around 15 years ago, because it has been constantly referenced through some artworks. Can't remember if it's in Kid A or Amnesiac. They sometimes release finalized versions of songs that were written a decade ago.

I like their melodies, and generally the lyrics are often slurred so I don't bother to listen to them.

I like their music, you don't have to agree with them, they're not politicians, they're musicians. The only thing I dislike is that I have no idea of any musicians that are openly sing about the moral collapse of society, and that's really fucking scary because it feels like there are all these role models pushing one ideology and absolutely nothing expressing anything against it. The entertainment industry as a whole is a one sided argument.

(Also, Moonman doesn't count, I mean artists who are popular in the media and will get radio time)

If you're going to quote Wikipedia at least read the next paragraph. Radiohead has been working on this song for a long time.

According to long-time Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, Radiohead worked on "Burn the Witch" during the sessions for their albumsKid A(2000), Hail to the Thief(2003), andIn Rainbows(2007); the phrase "burn the witch" appears in theHail to the Thiefalbum artwork. The song was mentioned by frontmanThom Yorkein a 2005 blog entry on Radiohead's website and was briefly teased in performances in 2006 and 2008, but it was never played in full. In 2007, Yorke posted lyrics on the band's website.

The only groupthink happening here is a bunch of leftists pushing their own agenda on someone else's work.
