As mentioned in a previous QOTW answerI went through a bit of a nasty phase of depressively drinking myself into a stupor night upon night upon night for around a year. Throughout all of that period, I would repetitively listen to one album over and over - that album being Radiohead's 'in rainbows'.
And of that album, there is one particular track that I kept putting on repeat. Whenever I hear it now, I am transported back to one particular night, in that room, at that desk, in front of my PC with my headphones on at full volume. I can taste the cherry vodka and feel the self loathing and desperation.
And yet... the end of the song would give me hope for... something. Something intangible. Something that might make it better. Something that, if I could find the essence of it within myself and believe it, might change everything.
Strange I couldn't figure it out - as 'All I Need' literally says (well, cries out): "It's alright".
