i want a perfect soul

Radiohead have been playing at v this weekend. Last night at about eleven i got a couple of texts off people who were there about them playing creep which, in case you didn't know was their big first breakthrough single and which they've generally ignored for years. I couldn't really get as excited about it as most other people seemed to be- there probably literally dozens of other rhead songs i'd rather hear over that but just now i got a call from the bf who was up in staffs listening to it tonight. And hearing it on a crappy phone connection with a load of people singing it so out of tune was actually pretty amazing. Maybe i'd gone off it cos i don't actually listen to it all that much recently. But i remember a time when i sat in my room with it on repeat. The words meant a lot then. And i guess they still do a little now. Only i'd hope with less teenage angst attached. Maybe i've just not really listened to them as much recently. maybe i'm just a hopeless romantic, but i suppose with stuff like that you don't want to be listening on the end of a phone. You want to be there in the middle of it, with your arms around the one you love, singing as loud and as out of tune as the rest of them. But you can't always have things the way you'd want, and if that's the next best thing then it'll do me fine.
