My favorite song on the album. There's something magical happening here.

[justindavis]

It’s crazy how much quality music these guys are involved in over the years

[southerntw]

This song flows very cinematically. It brought me back to the Suspiria album.

[fede]

There are few artists in the music history that can create something new and special till the end... Long live Yorke and Greenwood

[MrRoarman]

The most transcendental track on the album. Pure hypnotism

[mourahmusic]

When a 4/4 song sounds like a polyrhythmic one. Genius. Amazing track, fantastic album. These guys are true genius… but if you land on this page, you already know it 💫

[Lazarettootv]

This track could be on A Moon Shaped Pool ❤

[CaspianMagal-tptv]

Holy… just listened to the whole album: it blew me away. Doesn’t mean much coming from a 12 year old Radiohead enthusiast obsessed with Thom Yorke but this album was something else. So emotional and groovy. Such a warm feeling. Couldn’t have asked for a better album.

Lyrics

I quit
My head is lit
A piece of me

This is my stop
This is the end of the trip

Conscience
And brotherhood
And brotherhood

Wild ghosts
Wild feelings
Leaning windmills

A dead drop
This is the end of the trip
A new path
Out of the madness
To wherever it goes
To wherever it goes
And wherever it goes

And wherever it goes

And wherever it lies
And wherever it lies
To wherever it goes
And wherever it goes
And wherever it goes

[TheBhadersein]

We are so fortunate to experience this band

[SETRAAKI]

This album definitely deserves to be the best album of 2024

[ArthurTaylor]

I am just loving this new album. Can really hear the passion in all their music, although that’s to be expected at this point. Truly the greatest musicians of our time.

[heidiolaska]

Just when you think they've discovered all the incredible notes, all the words, then this

[MDE]

I love the bass line. It’s so Colin sounding.

[fatihnomore]

sounds like something ripped from heligoland by massive attack and loved it.

[muttakinc]

The Smile, The Orchestra, this is one of their most beautiful songs ever released.

[sudanbewaobdedebo]

This song is mesmerising and totally addictive 😮

[Lellos_]

Reminds me of late-era Talk Talk, love it!

[udkocqn]

Thom has written something like 500 songs. In other words, someone said "write a great song but, you can't use your first 500 ideas". And this was his 501st idea. His well of creativity is that limitless.

[benadrylion]

Hope they aren't actually quitting
