Focused Analysis: Sound/Music

I chose to analyse this song by Radiohead because it was actually a song appearing in a famous film 'Romeo and Juliet'. Radiohead didn't need to make an actual music video for this song due to the lyrics. The song was overly listened to, due to the famous band who sang it. The song obviously linked to the storyline of the film Romeo and Juilet. This is the song you hear periodically throughout Romeo and Juliet and it helps make the movie due to the lyrics. While the screenplay and casting was successful, I think the music is one of the more substantial parts to the movie. Although a very recognized movie/play, it has the very dark and sinister sounds of Radiohead implemented into it which added the bit of unfamiliarity in it. Listening and feeling makes that true character out of the movie. To me I find that the lyrics are talking about a guy in a particularly stressful situation that he wishes he could escape, and he begins to change his attitude from wishing to be someone else to come and get attitude. It's as though he'd rather hide from the problems than face them even though he says he's ready he's still hiding with sandwiches and a gun. And this is why directors of Romeo and Juilet, the film, chose to use this certain track.
