I'm going through some horrible depression the past 2 years and having a really bad day today. I really need this album to blot out my brain. I love you, the Smile.

[liadcohen]

Imagine you're Thom Yorke, and the guy you started playing in a band with in college decides to literally become one of the world's best composers, and then when you're older and write this song, he's there to put that kind of orchestration on it. Beautiful. I can't wait to have this record in my hands.

[teklawalker]

this is my favorite song on the album. i actually think this might be the best bridge i've ever listened to in a piece of music: "i talk to the face in the mirror, but he can't get through." thom yorke i'm eternally thankful for your existence.

[rednine]

for all the people out there reading this, if you are having a bad time, we are together in this, dont lose yourselfs, hang on the good little things life have for u and rest there just for a while, because even if you dont think so, bad times have an end to.

[pl]

This is such a Thom Yorke song, but what Jonny brings to this is just outstanding

[ixflashesixflashes]

This album is shaping up nicely to become a classic.

[ffsf]

Masterpiece. The orchestration is jaw-droppingly beautiful.

[cropsey.]

We're so lucky that Thom is still walking among us and making something good somewhere...

[colm]

These guys are still bringing out incredible music long after most artists reach their best before dates. Long may it continue.

[Verse 1]
Free in the knowledge
That one day this will end
Free in the knowledge
That everything is change

[Chorus]
And this
Was just a bad moment
We were fumbling around
But we won’t get caught like that
Soldiers on our backs
We won’t get caught like that

[Verse 2]
A face using fear to try to keep control
But when we get together, well then, who knows

[Chorus]
If this
Was just a bad moment
We were fumbling around
But we won’t get caught like that
Soldiers on our backs
We won’t get caught like that

[Outro]
I talk to the face in the mirror
But he can't get through
I said it's time that you deliver
'Cause we see through you
I talk to the face in the mirror
But he can't get through
Turns out we’re in this together
Both me and you

[drtchocky]

Cannot believe I'm here this freaking early... This album is already a masterpiece based on what's been released. Such a diverse set of songs...

[axelb.o.]

This is an absolute masterpiece. One of the very best Thom York songs ever for me. The arrangement is so incredible as well.

[mattpryor]

I love it when a Smile or solo Thom Yorke album comes out, because it's like a bonus Radiohead album.

[jasonmc]

Thom is the peak of British art in the last 30 years.

[burnheal]

no matter what name its being released under, this is as good as anything Thom and Jonny have ever made.

[eldensloth]

You can clearly hear the Neil Young influence here. Simply brilliant.

[thee.n.d.]

One of the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard… You can feel all the heavenly touch of Thom Yorke voice

[barbaraann]

I love Thom Yorke everything about him and his outstanding music..as far as I am concerned I listen to his songs everyday to ease my heart from my troubles...makes me dream that I am happy with myself and all around me...first off thank you for sharing these wonderful songs with us..and second, Thank you Thom for composing and singing thee songs for people like us...God bless all of you and the band...love you all!

[golfwang]

Hey Thom and Johnny, I don’t know if you’ll ever see this because it’s just another stupid YouTube comment but I’m an eighteen year old going to college this fall for animation. I found Radiohead around age fourteen and have used your music in all of my animations ever since. I am a complete amateur, but your music is like a creativity plug for my brain and fits perfectly with the stories in my head. When I’m having an art block or just feel uninspired, a single listen to your music immediately puts me back in a flow. It’s like magic. I want to thank you guys personally for this.
This song is immediately making me think of a new animation concept, possibly with a robot child and moss-covered landscapes. Time to get drawing :))

[WiseRiley]

They nailed it, even better than the live version im already in love with! Wow
