We R all special, we R all creeps

Song #1:
I though it would be hard to chose the 1st song, but I heard it this morning in the car and I knew this was the one for today.

Creep – Radiohead 

Their debut single in 1992 

Later included in their 1st album - Pablo Honey (1993) 

I think I first heard it when I was around 15; and sometimes I can’t help going back in time when I listen to the G-B-C-Cm chord progression. Back then, we always carried our walkman, old version of the mp3 players, but brick-size and weight too! Oh yes, we listened to cassettes! CD’s were already in the market (I'm not that old yet), but far too expensive for our pocket money. So we registered our own song sets on tapes. It was easy, cheap and portable (let’s say).

So, there was this guy, some years older, good-looking and charming, you know the kind… We’ll you don’t know yet, but one day you will. Anyway, he made this tape for a friend of us, to impress her of course. Well, the truth is he impressed us all. I don’t know how many times we played it, we just loved it. And “Creep” became one of our favorites, a hymn to those wild teenager days.

And this is how it all started, "grunge" was a new concept. We were cool, young, messy, a bit pesimistic, but that was part of the process. And we were all special, in our own way. Even if one day people might let you think that you're a creep, you are special, even creeps are special!

When you were here before,

couldn't look you in the eye,

you’re just like an angel,

your skin makes me cry...
