Listen to this when
No Surprises
When your routine feels like a snow globe you can't shake 🫙
Who it's for
Thom Yorke's lullaby-like song describes the exhaustion of a deadening, over-ordered modern life.
Numb, trapped in routine→Seen, gently soothed
Feelings it meets
What it is
"No Surprises" is a song by Radiohead from their 1997 album OK Computer, released as the album's fourth and final single in January 1998. Thom Yorke described its subject as someone trying hard to keep it together but unable to, and it is often read as a portrait of an unfulfilling, over-ordered modern life.
