living inside a song

in my novel i explored why fans study their favorite bands' songs so much, why they buy every version, why they discuss them endlessly on the internet.

i wrote: ". . . because you love their songs so much. You want to be in them. You want to get inside them and see them from the center looking out. You want to inhabit them. And that’s what your fans want to do. It’s not enough to listen to your songs. They want to get into the middle of them and walk around inside that landscape and be a part of it.”

on itunes: a live version of "house of cards." i love this song. i can't wait until it's on a record with better sound quality.

because, like with all radiohead songs, i want to walk around inside it.
