"The Bends" is a song by English alternative rock band Radiohead, released on their second studio album The Bends (1995). It was released by Parlophone Records as the album's sixth and final single in Ireland on 26 July 1996, and peaked at number 26 on the Irish Singles Chart in August. "The Bends" was included on Radiohead: The Best Of (2008).

"The Bends" was written in 1992, predating Radiohead's 1993 debut studio album Pablo Honey. Radiohead performed it numerous times over the next two years, before recording it at the Manor Studio in Oxfordshire, England, with producer John Leckie.

Writing and recording[]

"The Bends" is one of the earliest songs written by Radiohead,[1] and was originally titled "The Benz".[2] It was written by singer Thom Yorke prior to recording their 1993 debut album Pablo Honey.[3] Yorke said in a 1995 interview: "["The Bends"] is one of those songs I was rambling around and just poured all this rubbish out into the song. Then it all started happening, which was a bit odd. I was completely taking the piss when I wrote it. Then the joke started wearing a bit thin."[4] In 1992, Radiohead recorded a 4-track demo of the song during the Pablo Honey sessions,[5] but they kept it for the following album.[4] Radiohead also performed "The Bends" live numerous times earlier.[6][7][8][9]

In March 1993, Radiohead recorded another demo with their live sound engineer Jim Warren at Courtyard Studios in Oxfordshire, during the same session that produced "High and Dry".[5][8] They sent the demo to producer John Leckie for their upcoming second album, The Bends.[10]

"The Bends" was first recorded at RAK Studios in London and re-recorded at the Manor Studio in Oxfordshire,[11] where Radiohead took two-week sessions in July 1994.[12] According to drummer Philip Selway, it was recorded in a single take: "I wanted to get away from the studio to view a house for rent. Consequently, this was the first take."[6] However, Q reported that it was recorded in several takes.[13] Leckie felt the guitars were too loud and that the song was "overblown", but Radiohead insisted it was great.[14] According to Leckie, the RAK version of "The Bends" was "more overpowering" than the Manor version and Yorke's vocals were more screaming.[15] The unreleased RAK version was mixed by Leckie at Abbey Road Studios in London.[15][16]

Trying to make the introduction less "bombastic", Radiohead added "tinkling" sound effects[13] recorded previously by Yorke on a cassette recorder through a hotel room window while touring in the United States.[17] He said: "There was this guy training these eight-year-old kids, who were parading up and down with all these different instruments. The guy had this little microphone on his sweater and was going: 'Yeah, keep it up, keep it up.' So I ran out and taped it."[18][19][20] "The Bends" was mixed by Sean Slade and Paul Q. Kolderie,[21] who produced Pablo Honey and mixed most of The Bends.[22]

Composition and lyrics[]

"The Bends" has been described as an alternative rock,[23] hard rock,[24] Britpop,[25] grunge,[25] post-grunge,[26] and experimental rock song.[27] It begins with sampled sounds before moving to a chord sequence played in unison by Yorke, Jonny Greenwood and Ed O'Brien.[28] During the second verse, Greenwood briefly plays a counter-melody likened to the Smiths' "How Soon Is Now?".[17] It also features mutli-tracked recorder by Greenwood, low in the mix.[17]

"The Bends" contains classic rock guitar riffs[29] and distortion effects,[28] with elements of arena rock,[20] and draws on Queen influences.[30] Dw Dunphy of MusicTAB wrote it sounds "more like Queen's Brian May than an alt-rock/Britpop upstart".[31] It contains five distinct sections,[17] and its structure has a sound arrangement compared to the work of the Pixies.[32] It is played in the key of E minor in a 4
4 time signature with a tempo of 90 BPM (beats per minute), while Yorke's vocals span a range of A3 to G5.[33] One of structurally complex songs on the album;[17] its chord progression follows sequences of D–Cadd9–G/B–Cadd9–G/B–Cadd9 and D–Cadd9–G/B–Cadd9–G/B–Cadd9–C.[33]

["The Bends"] was really just a collection of phrases going round in my head one day. The crazy thing about that song is that there was no calculation or thought involved—it was just whatever sounded good after the previous line. It was written way before we'd ever been to America, even, but yeah, it's always interpreted as this strong reaction against the place and everything that went with it for us.[3]

– Thom Yorke, 1995

The lyrics were inspired by Douglas Coupland's 1991 novel Generation X. Unlike the novel, Yorke was arguing against generational classification.[34] The lyrics relate to many topics such as insecurity, loss of identity,[17] social rejection, morbidity, indolence, faithlessness and stasis.[20] Yorke said "The Bends" is addressed to all kinds of figures, particularly certain journalists who still cling to the sixties trip.[35] The song was initially introduced as being about "knowing who your real friends are and when they're going to come to your gigs." Yorke later simplified it to "knowing who your friends are."[19] However, writers linked the song's title, a term used in scuba diving to describe decompression sickness after divers float to the surface very quickly, to the success of Radiohead's 1992 debut single "Creep".[36][37] Lyrics of "The Bends" also were compared to other songs' lyrics, such as the Byrds' "So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star", Elvis Costello's "Pump It Up", and Nirvana's "Serve the Servants".[3]

Yorke called "The Bends" Radiohead's "Bowie pastiche".[20][38] He said it was intended to be humorous,[38][39][40] pointing to lyrics such as "I want to be part of the human race"[39] and the recurring lines "I wish it was the Sixties / I wish I could be happy / I wish / I wish / I wish / That something would happen".[40] Yorke was irritated that the humour in the song had apparently been overlooked; the lyrics "I wish it was the Sixties..." became a common point of discussion in interviews, with Yorke frequently being asked whether he had meant them earnestly.[38] It also contains lines about the CIA and the Marines,[19][37] and has a repeated "accusation" line: "Where are you now when I need you?".[37] Scott Wilson of Fact wrote that the sixites line "felt like a sarcastic dig" about other bands' "obsession with another era", such as Oasis' lyrics on "Live Forever" and "Rock 'n' Roll Star".[41]

Release[]

"The Bends" first appeared as a live version, titled "The Benz", on the 1993 French release of "Creep", recorded at the Black Sessions in Paris on 23 February 1993.[42] "The Bends" was released as the second track on Radiohead's second album, The Bends,[43][44] released on 8 March 1995.[45] It was included as the second track on the 1995 French reissue of "Creep"[46] and the US 7-inch vinyl jukebox single of "Fake Plastic Trees".[47] "The Bends" was one of the first songs to be nominated as a follow-up single after the success of "Creep" during the initial sessions of The Bends.[48]

More than a year after the album release, "The Bends" was released as a CD single in Ireland on 26 July 1996.[49] The single was limited to only 2,000 copies,[50] and included two live versions of "My Iron Lung" and "Bones", recorded at London Forum on 24 March 1995.[42][51][a] It was included later on online music stores including Amazon[52] and eBay.[53] Its artwork features a graphic of an inhaler.[51] "The Bends" was previously released as a promotional single in Belgium in May 1996, with "Bones" as the second track. Its artwork is the same as the artwork of The Bends.[54] "The Bends" was included on Radiohead: The Best Of (2008).[55]

The original 4-track demo of "The Bends" was included on the compilation Long Live Tibet (1997),[47] a charity album organised by Tibet House Trust for Tibetan people[56] and featuring artists including David Bowie and Björk, and bands including Pulp, Blur and Kula Shaker alongside Radiohead.[57] The demo contains loud guitars in the opening, played at a slower tempo than the album version, with "lifeless" vocals, "slightly" different lyrics, and lo-fi production.[19]

Reception[]

Reviewing The Bends in 1995, Hot Press described "The Bends" as "roaring, soaring and tormented",[58] while People wrote that the song, along with "Planet Telex", "toss and turn like the best of those big restless Pearl Jam and U2 arena-size anthems."[59] Clare Kleinedler of Santa Cruz Sentinel wrote that the song "reflects the band's reputation for being the gods of freaks and weirdos around the world with [Yorke] howling, "We don't have any real friends." The beauty of this seemingly self pitying line is that it isn't self pity at all; it is what defines Radiohead."[60] Kevin McKeough of Chicago Tribune indicated "The Bends", as well as "Black Star", that they "could have been catchy little rockers" if Radiohead had dispensed with their "grandiose dramatic effects".[61] Jim Sullivan of The Boston Globe wrote that the song "full of stops, starts and slides, and Yorke established his voice as one in the English glam tradition of Ian Hunter and David Bowie, keeping company today with Oasis and Suede."[62] CMJ New Music Monthly described "The Bends" as "a brilliant piece of raging guitar-driven pop".[63]

The Guardian critic Adam Sweeting called "The Bends" "a powerchord masterclass".[64] In 2007, Anthony Strain of Treble wrote that it was "the only song [on The Bends] that sounds remotely dated; its last moments are the last the record spends squarely in the present".[65] "The Bends" was included in the 2007 book The Rough Guide Book of Playlists,[66] and Xfm 2010 book Top 1000 Songs of All Time.[7] In 2012, Mark Lepage of The Gazette likened "The Bends" to "seeing the sunrise from a new angle".[67] In 2015, Dean Essner of Consequence wrote: "On "The Bends", Yorke tells us what it's like to swim with the sharks and then shortly after bake on a crowded beach with the rest of civilization, who are just waiting for something to happen, too."[68] In 2016, Fact named "The Bends" the 26th-greatest Radiohead song,[41] while BuzzFeed named it the 31st Radiohead best song.[69] In 2017, Pitchfork wrote that it "mopes in the mid-'90s zeitgeist's shadow, mooring Britpop's social theatricality in grunge's grandiose alienation".[70] Radio Hauraki named "The Bends" the 19th best song of the 1990s.[71] Consequence named it the 50th Radiohead best song,[72] while Uncut named it the third-greatest Radiohead song, behind "Creep" and "Planet Telex".[73] In 2019, Vulture named it the 76th Radiohead best song, writing: "This wiry, hard-charging song, in hindsight a clear iteration between Pablo Honey and OK Computer, was a solid answer, complete with military-industrial-complex imagery that still seems more playfully absurd than the deadly serious."[74]

Live performances[]

Radiohead first performed "The Bends" at King Tut's Wah Wah Hut in Glasgow, Scotland in May 1992, during the Drill tour.[75] "The Bends" was included on the setlists of Radiohead's "Creep" and Pablo Honey tours.[76] In April 1993, Radiohead performed the song at Roxane in Tel Aviv, Israel.[77] In June, they performed it at the Mejeriet Festival in Lund, Sweden,[78] the Theatre of Living Arts in Philadelphia[79] and Cabaret Metro in Chicago, Illinois.[80] In September, Radiohead performed it at the Garage in Highbury, London.[81]

In May 1994, Radiohead performed "The Bends" at London Astoria in London,[82] and this performance was included on Live at the Astoria (1995).[83] In May 1995,[84] they performed it on the TV show Later... with Jools Holland,[85] and this performance was included later on the compilation ...Later Volume One: Brit Beat (1996).[86] In 2017, The Telegraph named it the sixth-greatest performance on this TV show.[85]

Cover versions and other usage[]

  • American heavy metal band Anthrax covered "The Bends" on their 1998 single "Inside Out".[87] Drummer Charlie Benante wrote on the single notes: "We chose to do this song cause Radiohead are like the Pink Floyd of this era."[88] It was included as a bonus track on the 2003 reissue of their album Volume 8: The Threat Is Real, originally released in 1998.[89][90] In 2003, Aaron Small of Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles wrote: "Covering Radiohead is unexpected to say the least. "That was in '97/'98 and Radiohead were a different band. I'm not saying they were extreme metal back then but nowadays they're more experimental. [...] We just wanted to do it as a B-side.""[89] In 2013, Ryan Smith of Whatzup described it as "a passable but unremarkable cover and was quickly forgotten."[91]
  • In December 2020, Irish singer Rosie Carney covered the song on her full cover album of The Bends.[95]
