“Creep” is the first single released by the English
alternative rock band Radiohead, and is a track on their debut album Pablo Honey (1993). It was written by the band’s singer, Thom Yorke,
and released in the United Kingdom initially in September 1992.
When it
was first given limited release, however, Radio 1 found it “too
depressing”, and removed it from their playlist after airing it only
twice. However, it subsequently became one of the band’s biggest hits,
and became their only Top 40 hit in the United States until 2008’s “Nude”, despite the success of their future albums in the country.
The song
re-entered the UK chart at number 37 on 8 June 2008, as a result of
downloads, following the release of Radiohead’s The Best of album earlier that month.
Covers
First should be stated that Creep itself may be considered as a cover song, based on a famous song by sixties band The Hollies. The name of the song was The Air That I Breathe and was written byAlbert Hammond and Mike Hazelwood.
In April 2008, Prince
covered ‘Creep’ at Coachella. This version was captured on a video from
a concert-goer’s cell phone, and promptly uploaded to Youtube. However,
it was quickly taken down at Prince’s request. After finding out about
the blocking, Thom Yorke was quoted as saying, “Well, tell him to
unblock it. It’s our song.”
Alternative rock band Weezer
covered “Creep” during their 2008 Hootenanny Tour with bassist Scott
Shriner on lead vocals. Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo stated that the
song was picked to cover because “it’s incredible what they do with four
chords, over and over.”
COLD PLAY The Scientist. Chris Martin wrote “The Scientist” after listening to George Harrison’s “All Things Must Pass”. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Martin revealed that while working on the band’s second album, A Rush of Blood to the Head, he knew that the album was missing something.
One night, during a stay in Liverpool, Martin found an old piano that was out of tune. He wanted to work on George Harrison’s song “Isn’t It a Pity”, but he could not manage to do so. When the song came to Martin, he asked that the recorder be turned on. He concludes with saying that he came across this chord sequence and noted that the chord was “lovely”. Martin recorded the vocals and piano takes in a studio in Liverpool.
When asked about the development of the song, during a track-by-track reveal, Martin said: “That’s just about girls. It’s weird that whatever else is on your mind, whether it’s the downfall of global economics or terrible environmental troubles, the thing that always gets you most is when you fancy someone.”
However, the inside cover to A Rush of Blood to the Head stated: “The Scientist is Dan.” ‘Dan’ refers to Dan Keeling, the A&R man who signed the band to Parlophone.
COLD PLAY PARADISE : London, United Kingdom (1997 – present)
Coldplay is a British alternative rock band, formed in London, United Kingdom in 1997. The band comprises vocalist and pianist Chris Martin, lead guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman, and drummer Will Champion.
Having released four successful albums, (all of which debuted at #1 on the UK album chart) Coldplay have also achieved great success with their singles, such as Yellow, Speed of Sound, the Grammy-winning Clocks and the US and UK #1 single Viva la Vida.
Frontman Chris Martin credits 1980s Norwegian pop band a-ha for inspiring him to form his own band.
Coldplay’s early material was often compared to that of Jeff Buckley and Radiohead, while also drawing comparisons to U2 and Travis.
Since the release of the band’s debut album, Parachutes (2000), Coldplay has also drawn influence from other sources, including Echo And The Bunnymen and George Harrison on A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002) and Johnny Cash and Kraftwerk for X&Y (2005).
Coldplay are one of very few current British music acts to achieve major success in North America. Despite their large worldwide popularity, the band has remained protective of how their music is used in the media, refusing its use for product endorsements. In the past, Coldplay had turned down multi-million dollar contracts from Gatorade, Diet Coke, and Gap, who wanted to use the songs “Yellow”, Trouble, and Don’t Panic respectively. According to Martin, “We wouldn’t be able to live with ourselves if we sold the songs’ meanings like that.”
On the other hand, “Yellow” has been used to back TV trailers for “The Simpsons” and “Viva la Vida” from their latest album features on the current iTunes TV advert.
