Thom Yorke

        My new post is a little conspectus of who is Thom Yorke, which happens to be one of the biggest music genius that the modern world, nowadays, has the pleasure to see and hear. In this following topic I will talk about Thom Yorke's life, work and my opinion towards him.
       Thom Yorke's biography is a perfect example to teach us that life at the beginning is not easy but in the end we always win it .
       This 44 year old man born in Wellinborough, Northamptonshire,England is the current singer of the great British alternative rock band Radiohead and the lead singer of his new band called Atoms For Peace.
Thom had a pretty rough childhood due to the fact he was always moving school from school and his classmates teased him because of his need, during a short time, to use an eye patch, caused by the five interventions he made on his left eye. (However the last one went bad and gave Thom a drooping eyelid)In 1978 Yorke's family finally settled down in Oxfordshire and this would have been the place where Thom met his new bandmates and created at that moment the band On a Friday. After he graduated high-school Thcocky (One of his nicknames) decided to postponed going to Universality for one year and began working by doing some simple errands.
 In 1988 left Oxford to study at the University of Exeter. During that time On a Friday was set in a hiatus except for Holidays rehearsals. While in Exeter Yorke, worked as a DJ in the Lemon Grove and played briefly with the band Headless Chickens. Thom also met Rachel Owen, whom began dating and now who he is married to.

   Yorke's work is basically trying to entertain us and show to the world through music he is a peerless genius. In order for that to function Thom counts with the company and the support of 4 extraordinary men, Johnny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood,  Ed O'Brien and Phillip Selway. These are the official members of Radiohead. As you must know Radiohead is a British band who had and still has an important role in today's rock music. Great Bands such as Muse, Coldplay (not that great) The Xx and Keane have been influenced by this Proud English Icon. The sonority of this band is something quite unusual and this genial oddity goes since the metaphoric lyrics who make no sense for the "casual" listeners until  their explosives cocktails mixed with different sounds and no band has ever been able to equal Radiohead's tone and uniqueness . For example the song "Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd  Box" owner of a original background beat provoked by cans ,robotized voices and instruments, fits perfectly in the description of what is a unique powerful strange and yet sexy Radiohead song . Blissful depressing, lyrical overwhelming, wonderful to mend broken hearts are some of the best synonymous used to report the feelings people sense everytime they listen to this heart-breaking 5 piece band from Oxford.  Radiohead songs may show us the perverse and mean side of life but yet somehow they teach us how to survive from it
