Storytelling is all about connecting with human emotions and leave an unforgettable lasting impression. These emotions don't fade away quickly but stay forever etched in the psyche over a lifetime. That's why when an old classic song suddenly hits your eardrums one day, you can't help but hum all day long savouring the bittersweet emotions it evokes.
'Creep' is one such powerful gem from the popular rock band Radiohead. The song has achieved a cult status over the years with numerous soulful covers performed by artists at music reality shows and online platforms. It has sort of become an anthem for those who have struggled for long internally to come out of the closet and identify as LGBTQ+. It is also highly relatable to those who listen to their heart over the head, and make weirdo choices in their career, occupation, relationships etc. This lyrics feel metaphorical to their self doubt, frustration, and a struggle to live amidst the constant judgement of others around. And of course, it is literally about a broken heart who finds its pitiful creepy self unworthy for its perfect angel.
Tune in your headsets, open the song here at bit.ly/Soundcloud-creep or bit.ly/Youtube-creep and follow the lyrics below. When the notes hit the crescendo after a self deprecating premise, if you don't feel moved to tears on the inside, perhaps check whether you accidently left your soul at the office yesterday.

CREEP (Radiohead)
*********************
When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fuckin' special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I wanna a perfect body
I wanna a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here, oh, oh
She's running out the door
She's running
She run, run, run, run
Run
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
