Thom-Yorke - ANIMA
The Track Begins With Thom Addressing Someone Who Seems To Be Repeating The Same Mistakes In Life. And He Is Questioning How This Person Would Conduct Himself If He Had The Chance To “do It All Again”. Ultimately The Idea Thom Seems To Be Putting Forth Is Not So Much One Of Advocating Second Chances As It Is That Even If Such Were Given The Individual Would Likely Behave The Same Way. But In A Roundabout Way He Still Appears To Be Supporting The Idea Of Self-Transformation Specifically In Regards To The Person He Is Addressing. However What He Seems To Be Ultimately Saying Is That A Person Must Invest An Ample Amount Of Energy Into Such An Endeavor To Bring About The Desired Result. Overall It Looks As If The Person The Singer Is Addressing Is Actually Himself. And In That Regard He Is Expressing Regret Over Some Of The Things He Has Done. If Such Is The Case Then He Is Clearly Trying To Encourage Himself To Keep Pressing Forward Despite His Past Mistakes. However All Things Considered He Does Not Sound Overly Optimistic That He Is Actually Going To Be Able To Change. Perhaps In All Of This What He Is Actually Doing Is Lamenting Over A Lost Love One Which It Does Not Look Like He Will Be Able To Reclaim. In A 2009 Interview Thom Yorke Was Asked What His Favorite Radiohead Song Was. He Responded By Saying "Whatever… I’m Finishing At The Moment. Um There’s One Called ‘Dawn Chorus’ I’m Trying To Finish At The Moment That’s Really Great… I Think." The Song’s Title Later Appeared As The Constructed LLP That The Band’s Ninth Album "A Moon Shaped Pool" Would Be Released Under.
