Radiohead - Knives Out video

Radiohead 16 de Marzo de 2009 Foro Sol, México D.F. Preventa de boletos el 19 de Noviembre, por Ticketmaster. * * * * * * * * * * * * * Second single from "Amnesiac" (2001), by Radiohead. Directed by Michel Gondry. The whole video was shot in one take in the same set (quite remarkable considering the scene changes required). Director Michel Gondry said the video was autobiographical, about himself and a girlfriend once he had. However, Thom Yorke said the lyrics were about cannibalism. This video features Emma de Caunes as Thom's girlfriend. The video tryed to interpret the surreal imagery and fit it with the song lyrics. Nevertheless, Radiohead vetoed this video from the Director's DVD release because it was about Gondry's personal life and loosely based on the song. The song was developed during the 18-month Kid A and Amnesiac sessions, and it is legendary for supposedly "having taken 373 days to record". Although "Knives Out" is not similar to Radiohead's earlier rock style as featured on The Bends (1995), it is usually noted as one of the most traditional guitar songs the band has done since 2000. L Y R I C S I want you to know He's not coming back Look into my eyes I'm not coming back So knives out Catch the mouse Don't look down Shove it in your mouth If you'd been a dog They would've drowned you at birth Look into my eyes It's the only way you'll know I'm telling the truth So knives out Cook him up Squash his head Put him in the pot I want you to know He's not coming back He's bloated and frozen Still there's no point in letting it go to waste So knives out Catch the mouse Squash his head Put him in the pot
