I have taken awhile getting around to posting my second soul song, but I have finally settled on it. It is 'Let Down' by Radiohead. This is one of those songs that when that first note hits it makes your soul shiver (thanks fresh prince.) This song is song number 2 in a string of the greatest seven track run in musical history (maybe.) If you have never listened to 'Ok Computer' then you are crazy first off and secondly do this: go get it, wait until nighttime, go into your bedroom, turn the lights off, put your headphones on, close your eyes and start on track four and listen to through track ten ('Lucky'.) When 'Lucky' ends your mind will be blown. Seriously. Now do it again with the whole album. Your mind is double blown. All that I can say is that the transition between track four and five is one of the most magical music moments of all time. Pure perfection. Enjoy.

OK Computer is a top 5 album for sure. Every track is basically a masterpiece. In my book, the first six tracks are the strongest run on the album. I really can't think of another album that begins brilliantly and maintains it for six songs.
Let Down is my favorite track on the album. The harmonies at the end blow my mind every time.
I remember once having to convince someone to give Radiohead a chance.
