Hunting Bears

This video is one of the best radiohead's music career, but was not nominated for any awards so far. It premiered in February 1996 and was directed by Jonathan Glazer , who later directed the video " Karma Police ".

The video, recorded entirely in black and white, not a story fluently. It is composed of different pieces that go offline from the trivial to the intricacies, including deleted scenes of the group falling, jumping and running. In one of them, one can appreciate Ed O'Brien falling back and taking a tremendous smack (Ouch!).

Several scenes were filmed in this video frame using different frequencies, making various objects were moving at different speeds in the same scene. A special high-speed camera, normally used for scientific purposes, was used in this case too slow for the purpose.

It is unfortunate that the academies did not take into account the artistic qualities of this video, perhaps due to lack of fluency or coherence. However, it is necessary to understand the nature of the song to understand the reason for the inconsistency of audiovisual sequences in the video. In that sense we Thom Yorke explains:

'Street Spirit' is our purest song, but I did not write. Was written alone. We were mere messengers, their biological catalysts. Its core is a complete mystery to me, and, you know, would never attempt to write such a thing hopeless.

All of our saddest songs have somewhere a glimmer of firmness. 'Street Spirit' has firmly. It is a dark tunnel with no light at the end. It represents all tragic emotion that is so painful that the sound of that melody is its only definition.

We all have a different way to understand this song. It is called indifference. Especially me, I separate my emotional radar from that song, or if it could not touch it. Burst. Or give me something on stage.

This is how your writing is a lot of mini-stories or visual images opposite to the cohesive explanation of its meaning. I used images along with the music he thought he could convey the emotional body of the lyrics and music go together. That's what it means 'All These Things you'll one day swallow whole' (all those things some day you swallow it whole). I meant the emotional body, because it was not able to articulate emotion. Explode ...

Our fans are braver than I to let them enter the song, or perhaps do not realize what they are listening. They do not realize that 'Street Spirit' is about staring the fucking devil in the eye and know that no matter what you do, he always laughs last. And that is real and true. The devil is always the last laugh in all cases without exception, and if I think about it for a long time, explode.

I can not believe we have fans that can deal emotionally with this song. That's why I'm convinced they do not know what it is. So we tend to always play by the end of our sets. I empty, and I shake, and it hurts like hell every time I play, watching thousands of people laugh and smile, oblivious to the tragedy of its meaning, as when you have to sacrifice a dog and is moving the tail to the slaughter. That's what they seem, and it breaks my heart. Hopefully this song we had chosen as its catalysts, and do not claim authorship. Asks too much. I did not write.

As we see, the song is something beyond this world, lol
