- "The Bends" is a song by the English rock band Radiohead from their second studio album, The Bends (1995). In Ireland, it was released by Parlophone on 26 July 1996 as the album's sixth and final single, and reached number 26 on the Irish Singles Chart. "The Bends" was written in 1992, predating Radiohead's 1992 debut single, "Creep", and debut studio album, Pablo Honey (1993). Radiohead performed it numerous times over the next two years, before recording it at the Manor Studio in Oxfordshire, England, with producer John Leckie. It is one of Radiohead's most performed songs. "The Bends" has been compared to the work of bands such as Queen, the Beatles, Pixies, the Smiths, and Oasis; the Radiohead singer, Thom Yorke, described it as a "Bowie pastiche". It contains five sections, making it one of the most complex tracks on The Bends. Several critics interpreted the lyrics as a comment on the success of "Creep", which had led the media to dub them a one-hit-wonder. Yorke said the lyrics were intended to be humorous and had been misinterpreted. "The Bends" was included on the greatest hits album, Radiohead: The Best Of (2008), and other versions have appeared on compilations by Radiohead and other artists. In 2017, Uncut ranked it as the third-greatest Radiohead song. NME ranked the guitar solo as the seventh-greatest in music history. (en)
- "The Bends" é uma canção da banda inglesa de rock Radiohead pertencente ao álbum de 1995, The Bends. Nunca foi editado em single embora tivesse sido difundido nas rádios de diversos países. A instrumentação da canção é basicamente baixo, bateria e guitarra eléctrica, em que são utilizados os três guitarristas dos Radiohead Jonny Greenwood, Ed O'Brien e Thom Yorke. A canção contém as linhas "who are our real friends / have they all got the bends / am I really sinking this low?" ("quem são os nossos verdadeiros amigos / terão eles todos o sindroma da descompressão / estarei a afundar-me tão profundamente?") e "baby's got the bends / we don't have any real friends" ("querida tens o sindroma da descompressão / não temos amigos verdadeiros"). A canção é muito emocional, atingindo o clímax com a letra "I wanna live, breathe, I wanna be part of the human race" ("quero viver, respirar, quero fazer parte da raça humana"). Contudo, de acordo com Yorke, reflecte o sentido de humor dos Radiohead pois estas linhas referem-se à CIA e aos Fuzileiros. "The Bends" também contém a linha "I wish it was the sixties, I wish we could be happy" ("Gostaria que estivéssemos nos sessenta, gostaria que fôssemos felizes"). Quando interrogado pela imprensa sobre o significado desta linha, Yorke disse que era apenas um desejo sincero. O som de abertura foi gravado por Yorke, ao aperceber-se que uma banda de música juvenil estava a ensaiar na rua próximo de um hotel nos Estados Unidos onde ele estava hospedado, com o maestro repetindo insistentemente Yeah, keep it up, keep it up (Sim, continuem, continuem).
