I really thought this would be a bit higher than 6, around the 4 area. There was a time where I played this all the time. This song is the just way to epic and other than No Such Thing, I can't think of a better way to start off a record. With a play count of 55, it's just one more play shy from #5 on my list.
Honestly, I don't really remember playing this song 56 times, but apparently I'm a fan. John Mayer is by far my favorite artist, so i'll just stop right now because if I don't, his section will look like an essay. I'll just say this.. nothing's better than artistic transparency.
If I'm not mistaken, this was a Song of the Week once. I remember the first time I heard this song I couldn't stop playing it. That would explain the 62 plays.
This song is so dreamy. There's really nothing like it. The melodies are simple, not even slightly syncopated and take you on a ride so high you won't be able to see the ground. Gorgeous.
Sadly, I was late to hop on this song, I remember the first time I heard it I was in Writing Skills at Berklee. We had to bring a song in for some reason that I don't remember, and someone brought this song in. It was pretty epic. Right when I heard that gorgeous Rhodes play, I melted in my chair. Ever since that day, this has been my favorite Radiohead song. 69 plays and counting..
Ironically, my favorite Radiohead song is not my most played Radiohead song. This, in fact, is very normal for me. I don't like to over play my favorite songs. My favorite song of all time--which will remain nameless for now, another day another blog-- has an extremely low play count. I just can't play them whenever. They're special, and it's not even in my top 25 most played. Interesting. Kid A is an amazing song and an amazing album. Kid A wins with a play count of 80. To be honest, those play counts are not very high. I'm sure your 25th most played song has more than 80 plays, I don't know what I do in my spare time. Apparently it's not listen to music. I guess I'm just too busy writing it? Doubt it.
bringing new meaning to fave 5 (in this case 6),
