Tired

Let Down - Radiohead

Tired! Tired of the daily grind, especially the daily commute to work. OK, it's only 35 minutes or so each way, but that's just part of it. It's dark now coming home and pretty soon the mornings will be the same. It's often raining or windy. Then, there will be scraping frost and ice off the windows, so, cold and even more time consuming. If I'm not in early enough I can't get parked. However, this song, while conveying the misery of travel and routine lyrically, is musically uplifting beyond words. It is my favourite song ever. It ends with such an uplifting feeling that I can't help but consider that at least we are all united by the mundanity of it all, together in our repetitive futile desperate attempt to hold it together until the weekend.
