Hey people! Okay, this is a little random. I was just wondering what everyone sees in "Private Radio"? I mean personally, I think that Private Radio is my least favourite song on Harmonium, and find myself often flicking over to the next track when it comes on.

Perhaps I would enjoy it more if I understood why everyone likes this one? Or does someone have a clear interpretation of what the song is about?

Sorry to sound rude and question why the majority of people have this song as their favourite, but I am just curious

Just because you don't like a song doesn't mean that everyone else should dislike it.

I like how it's upbeat and it's catchy, personally.

I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that. Darn. I tried to explain it in my Post what I meant. I was just wanting to know the meaning of the song so maybe I could understand it a little more, as I like it when I can understand deep and meaningful songs, which Vanessa provides every time. I like the melody of the song I would just like to know what the lyrics mean. Thanks. Once again, sorry.

private radio is great, it´s about insomnia and when at night everyone is sleeping you are wide awake and the night is all yours!, that's why is great and so energetic

Well, I think they discussed this in the Lyric Interpretation thread...but basically the song is about the secretive, private things one does in the middle of the night. Vanessa has described it as a song about insomnia. I like this one for the music more than the lyrics--it IS soooo catchy. I'm a sucker for that stuff.

Ahhh, I understand! I'll go listen to it now and see what I can make of it. I really wanted to like it as it was the only song on the album I would think "Damn" when I heard it, as the rest were so good. Thanks for your help, guys!

i actually love the song. the only problem is that it's much too short. it's problably my favorite song off the album. it's usually the last one i listen to, after HAWBTW. it has a 60s kind of rock vibe to it.

Private Radio is catchy, and that is a reason I like it. I also like that it is about insomnia without her ever having to really talk about sleeping or having insomnia. When I think of insomnia, I think of many thoughts being in my mind, and I think Vanessa gets that across in the song with looping vocals over vocals. Your mind is going, you can't sleep, and in the song, there are all these vocals, and they are fast, and they loop. At the end, there are like 3 or 4 vocals loops over each other. It is like insomnia of the mind actually put to music. Maybe I look too much into it. But I think that is why the song is brilliant.
