Hello Fellow Bloggers...
As many of you know, I am a pretty big fan of the band Radiohead. My brother in law Carlos got me into them a few months ago and I have become absolutely hooked. Their music is pretty weird yet awesome at the same time. Their lyric is very poetic and abstract so one song can have a specific meaning to one person and a total different meaning to someone else.
allow me to share one with you guys.
This song is actually not a Radiohead song but it is sung by the band's lead singer
Thom Yorke. The song is by a british band called
UNKLE. I'll let you watch the video first then I'll tell you what I got out of it.
As you can see the man starts walking down a highway wearing a heavy coat or
parka. Some say that the parka represents his thoughts weighing him down and making him oblivious to everything else. As he keeps getting run over again and again, he is totally ignored and even laughed at by the people around him (remind you of anyone?). He finally takes off his coat, gives a slight smile and opens his arms in a crucifix like position. It seems like he has become invincible and is totally aware of it. Well, you know what happens next.
Ever feel like you are the one carrying that heavy coat and being weighed down by it. Ever feel like life is running you over and it seems like no one cares? God wants us to take off that coat that keeps weighing us down, and be invincible.
What's your parka?
