FINAL THOUGHTS

Memory

OK Computer so my first memory is walking into town like the old way I used to walk into town which went over the river. I remember listening specifically to Fitter Happier on this bit of the walk which is not really a bridge but it goes over the river like next to apartments and I remember like realising what this album was about and like yeah. I just remember being like wow like music can be like do you know what I'm saying like it seems a bit pretentious to me now but I was like wow music isn't just about being melodic and you can build a world and stuff within an album. See if I can find out when abouts this was on spotistats..? Oh right looks like it was the 11th of April 2023. Kind of thought it was earlier than that but I guess that was like towards the end of year 11? I guess that does add up I did think it was during my work experience in year 10 but I don't think I was onto OK Computer at that point of my life unfortunately. Year 11 does make sense. Yeah but I knew OK Computer before I re-got into Radiohead at the end of year 12 with The Bends.

Omg I remember fully actually taking in and listening to Let Down on a walk one day and just being like... omg. Like the bridge is just something else am I right or am I right? You know it. You know the feeling wouldn't you just love to listen to it for the first time again because I know I would.

I also have a specific memory with this EXACT CD. When I bought it and then wanted to have a reset day without my phone like I just wanted to go on a walk with my digicam and listen to this album on my mum's CD walkman but like I was also too scared to go without my phone so I did put it in my bag just in case I got kidnapped or something but I didn't use it it was just sat in the bottom of my bag. And I didn't really walk far I just went to the nature reserve really close to our house so like. But it was good it was nice to appreciate the album. I'll add just a couple of the photos I took on my OK walk as well..!

Oh and by the way I made a poster at some point as well and I remembered just now because I used the same picture on this page as I did on this poster so hope u enjoy tell me if it looks good or not!!
