This Song Rocks: How to Disappear Completely


Original video located here. Accessed 26th August 2021

Song title: How to Disappear Completely

Artist: Radiohead

Year: 2000

Why I like this song:

I've always felt that Radiohead are a band best enjoyed by one's self - I've seen footage of them playing live on YouTube and it's weird to see the audience sing along to lines like 'You don't remember! You don't remember! Why don't you remember my name?!'

\

And that theory is best exemplified with this song. It's haunting in it's execution and has been something of a go-to song for me when things have been looking bleak.

It has been theorized that we need sad songs for low moments and to that end this song does just that. And it does so admirably.
