Great Radiohead song… The Bends has to be one of the best sophomore albums, ever. I certainly had no idea so many great songs were to come, based on their debut disc (which is decent, but nothing like the quality of their later releases).
This song has some great lyrics (you can read them amid the chords below). I think the best songs are like short stories, where they allude to enough extra detail that you can fill in a lot of backstory however you see fit. In the same way, I think that’s how the best songs manage to mean so much to so many different people… they are so wide open to interpretation that the listeners do all the work to mold it into something they can feel deeply. The song itself just nudges them in the direction they already want to go.
Here’s a clip from some movie, set to the music from Leonard Cohen. This is actually the first time I’ve heard the original version of the song… I have a live performance by Regina Spektor which has a different flow to it. I like the Spektor version better, frankly.
There’s no one like Tori Amos… this is a short song off Boys for Pele, and it’s rare to see a live performance with an actual brass section…
I remember when I bought this CD, at a barnes and noble bookstore, the cashier chick saw it, pointed at it, and said “YES,” like she was so excited to see it, and wanted to know how many times I’ve seen Tori in concert (the answer was “just once”). She’s got some rabid fans out there…
(lyrics are with the chords below, if you care)
I love the Rasputina version off Thanks for the Ether. I pretty much like everything off Thanks for the Ether, actually. All I could find on youtube was this live performance, which isn’t of very good quality (first line of the song is chopped off, for one thing):
Here’s a video of the original artist singing it, which I’d embed here, except the uploader has disabled that.
I thought I’d be in for a wild time searching for “bush” and “swallowed” but it turns out I got what I wanted right away 
This is another single from Bush’s Razorblade Suitcase disc.
By Bush from their sophomore Razorblade Suitcase CD. This band made me laugh, because some of their songs were pretty good, but a lot of their following was girls that liked the pretty frontman.
This was their “artsiest” video… comes across kinda heavy-handed if you ask me. But I like the song.
Nirvana, from In Utero, 1993. There’s a music video, but I didn’t immediately spot it on youtube, and I kinda like this live performance:
Nirvana, from Incesticide (1992 I think).
Early Nirvana song, unreleased… here’s an early live performance of it… sorry for the bad quality audio. The tablature below has the lyrics in it…
