MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1 – “My Iron Lung”)

By late October of 1994…

Radiohead’s “My Iron Lung” had made its way onto the UK charts.

This particular track was inspired by a song the band was pretty cooked on.

(Music Cut #2 — “Creep”)

Yep, “Creep.”

It might have made Radiohead famous…

but the band was tired of being known for just ONE song.

(Music Cut #3 — “My Iron Lung”)

So Thom Yorke wrote “My Iron Lung”…

comparing “Creep” to an iron lung.

Something that kept the band alive…

but also kept them trapped

(Music Cut #4 – “My Iron Lung”)

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“Suck, suck your teenage thumb
Toilet-trained and dumb
When the power runs out
We’ll just hum.” – Radiohead “My Iron Lung”
