Three Tune Tuesday #154

Today is only one name for all three songs; I am slightly sure you are in the know of it: Radiohead.

Radiohead - Burn The Witch

(official video; from «A Moon Shaped Pool» LP, 2016)

What this weird video is about? last seconds hint it is about the Government... which is really indestructible. Very cool opener from the band's last released album, which I love both for the video and for the strings avantgarde studio arrangement. I'd be highly intrested to hear your video's interpretation - what do you see in it?

This is what Jonny Greenwood told about creating of the song:

"There’s songs like ‘Burn The Witch’ which, very rarely for us, we managed to get strings on near the beginning. We left it unfinished on purpose and left lots of room for the strings and we never do that usually. Usually the strings are the icing on top. And this time it was there from the start to be more of a feature for what strings can do. At the end of ‘Daydreaming’ I got the cellos to all tune their bottom strings down about a fifth. But then still try to play the music. So it’s you can hear them struggling to stay in tune and you have the low growl sound. That’s the kind of music they play anyway, and just all felt really effortless and exciting. You want to use strings in a way that isn’t just pastiche and that can be hard to avoid. That was fun, trying to square that circle."


Radiohead - 2 + 2 = 5

(fan video by Gastón Viñas; from «Hail to the Thief» LP, 2003)

Have you read '1984' and 'Animal Farm' by George Orwell? Please do - its a must.


Radiohead - Ful Stop

(from «A Moon Shaped Pool» LP, 2016)

Truth will mess you up.
Truth will mess you up. Truth will mess you up. Why should I be good if you're not?
Truth will mess you up.
Truth will mess you up. Truth will mess you up. Truth will mess you up. Truth will mess you up. Truth will mess you up.
Truth will mess you up.
Truth will mess you up.
Truth will mess you up.
Truth will mess you up. Truth will mess you up. Truth will mess you up. Truth will mess you up. Truth will mess you up. Truth will mess you up.
Truth will mess you up.
Truth will mess you up.

This song has yet to get a proper video... As for its main idea, frankly speaking -- I am not up for analysis or discussions and other TLDR; check the song, all is there. Definitely the second highlight of AMSP album for me. Maybe its a reflection of some mundane everyday experience and some small life incident?.. or maybe Thom Yorke summed up his life in song's lyrics. One way or another, this is drama of the highest probe, and ...

As a bonus, cool fan-made video illustrating how this song can be performed. Instrumental.
