ChadBC 10 Posted May 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Here's the chronology of the song. The one I am talking about is the very last one. http://www.citizeninsane.eu/lift.html Link to post Share on other sites

ChadBC 10 Posted May 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 (edited) And I have to say the same about the newer Big Boots circa Summer 2002. Better, IMO. I am a 2002 Radiohead tour whore. Edited May 29, 2009 by ChadBC Link to post Share on other sites
MarkGrace 10 Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 The 2002 version of Lift is not nearly is good. The beauty of the Pinkpop version is how uplifting it is. The 2002 feels like it's had the life sucked out of it. Link to post Share on other sites
Suckfatties 10 Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 I like that they tried to make it more ambient, but it seems to turn out messy and uncontrolled. Link to post Share on other sites

foreign fishes 10 Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 The pinkpop version is better for two reasons. 1. Ed's face at 1:25 2. Thom is wearing a rain suit Link to post Share on other sites

catisinmybrain 10 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 (edited) you know i never liked lift much (only heard the Pinkpop version), until just now listening to the Salamanca version. so pretty. Anyone here got the mp3 by any chance, or do i have to mosey on over to the downloads section? edit: damn, all of those links are EXPIRED!!

NotAnAndroid 10 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Pinkpop version is infinitely better. Link to post Share on other sites
MuslimsLoveBombs 13 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 2002 version is pretty awful. Link to post Share on other sites
Fast Tracker 12 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 The Pinkpop version has kinda missed its break, though I reckon a new version would share more in common with that version than the 2002 one, which I think the band said they didnt like. Link to post Share on other sites
kafka. 105 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 the 2002 version just slowly goes downhill from a promising place, and by the time thom hits those high notes 3/5's of the way through it's game over, man Link to post Share on other sites
Pickled Dog 12 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Yeah, 2002 is shit. 1996 jaggly guitar all the way. Link to post Share on other sites
pennyroyalty 102 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 i can't understand how aggressively down people can be about the more recent Lift when it's essentially the same but a bit slowed down and as i recall in possession of at least one great little melody that the song didn't have in '96. put the old ed harmony in the '02 version as a string part maybe and it's basically just better. i think the song wants space and will ultimately be released as a ballad. '96 actually sounds like a ballad played fast too me, it's something natural to the melody. i don't think they're just being cunts about it. Link to post Share on other sites
LiveShinta 9 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Eds backup singing makes the whole song from the pinkpop version. hands down. Ed seems to do that for a lot of songs for me. Link to post Share on other sites
Rael 15 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 '96 actually sounds like a ballad played fast too me conversely, 2002 sounds like it's too slowed down someone described it as "lifeless," which is exactly the word that comes to mind Link to post Share on other sites

MuslimsLoveBombs 13 Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 If Lift is part of a future album, i'd bet money on it featuring no guitars. Unless it becomes a b-side, simply as a treat for older fans who didn't really adapt to their electronic stuff and bang on about how amazing The Bends is. Link to post Share on other sites
