Is "True Love Waits" a reference to "True Love Ways" by Buddy Holly



Can't imagine being put off by an album title unless it was like Jesus Is King or some shit

I don't get an evil vibe, but more elusive and mysterious maybe.

I finally put my print up of this album cover in my new place, looking really good.

The expression "moon shaped pool" can be considered redundant because the word "moon" already implies a specific shape. The term "moon shaped" adds no additional information and only repeats what is already conveyed by the word "moon." In this sense, the phrase "moon shaped pool" is considered redundant. However, it can still be useful in certain contexts, such as when one wants to emphasize the specific shape of the pool, or in the case of radiohead's fanbase, who might not be unfamiliar with the shape of the moon.

Well, the crescent moon only exists as a symbol, it's not an actual shape (kind of like heart drawings). In reality, the moon's shape remains round, regardless of one's subjective interpretation.

na cos moon pool might mean a pool that smells like or makes one think of or gives off vibes similar to the moon



your shape primacy is showing

No, a pool cannot smell like the moon. Also, the moon has no atmosphere, so it does not have any "vibe" other than an indirect one from how the sky and the clouds react to its light. Technically, you're not incorrect, Thom Yorke's likely description of a pool emitting a "moon-like radiation" is a metaphor, rather than a literal description of a hybrid of the two elements. It's the word "shape" that doesn't hit its target. Sometimes abstract nouns are more powerful than nouns describing real-life objects. The album should have been titled "Moon Pool". You know I'm right!

moon pool feels like a location thing. or if we go a bit less literal, then like a pool of moonlight. i need the shaped, it completes my understanding of this title
