Fun Fact: This song was written during the In Rainbows sessions. Can't imagine why this was cut.

[lincolndevonshire]

I'm starting to think that Thom was sent here with the sole purpose of creating this beautiful, enlightened, soulful music. I'm just greatful that I am here and its in my life.

[JohnsysChannel]

Thom just quietly mining his own business.

[aaron]

this song is 10 years old and we're finally getting it holy shit

[himmelektronik]

Yorke’s a celestial being at this point. Nothing comes even close.

[cropsey.]

This band is so good, I hope one day they can become as famous as big bands like Radiohead.

[martinm]

I’ve heard this song about 150 times. I can now say that it’s absolutely perfect: everything from the speed to the sax to the way Thom songs these very good lyrics. Everything is just perfect. 10/10.

[AlmaSpiteful]

Thom, please please PLEASE never stop singing. Your voice is ethereal and one of my most favorite sounds in the world. ❤️‍🔥

[Rohanokokkk]

his voice aged like a fine wine. soothing and relaxing

[ivorydeath]

sometimes i ponder on how i'm going to miss out on unforeseen events in the future (when space exploration, possible teleportation, etc) and my head hangs low but i remember that i exist just in the right time to witness the creations of thom yorke. everything is in its right place.

Thom’s leaving a great visual legacy as well as musical. In hundreds of years’ time, people will look back at his life and wonder “who was this strangely interesting man?”

[nofishinmydiet]

The look on Thom's face at the end. Not angry, not sarcastic young Thom, just tired and disappointed.. That broke my heart

[tzian]

Jonny's beautiful, masterful guitar playing in all its glory.

[bjrnbrynemo]

I'm staring to expect an In Rainbows level album. This song is the best one so far, and that's saying a lot

[Giordifer]

This is fantastic. I feel sorry for people who don't follow Thom and his many projects.

[hach]

Thom and Johnny always hitting us up with new meters, like 11/8

[toddhoward]

"When we realize that we are broken, nothing mends" This is the reality we are facing now

[ericstapars]

“Music is the souls celebration of life”

This song is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard. And I’ve wanted it for a very long time. I’m so happy.

[outerspace..]

Don’t stop Thom, just don’t… i beg you. Your tunes are literally healing me and many around the world for decades now. You truly are a gem for humanity.

Thank you… THANK YOU!

[MicahBuzanANIMATION]

Those "Ahh ah aha's" send shivers down my spine. And the old film look compliments the sound of the song so well.
