whattt CRINGE! :o

Sorry! :P

Yes, that's why all the live shows I have for them are audios not videos. :P

@Ab

 

Yes it is, I enjoyed every moment watching it. It also made me like HTTT more. He does his weird moves on some parts but not as much as lately, I think. He goes a bit wacko at the beginning of The National Anthem and as I remember during Idioteque, also during some other songs, but compared to this tour it's less annoying. :P You should watch it.

Will do then. :kiss:

it's more like PÄÄRÄNÖID ÄÄÄNDRÖÖÖID

no, he sounds like an android

Or like a paranoid..

that's why it's called paranoid android :idea2:

either way that song is brilliant

why don' tyou remember my name?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I like when he says "ambition makes you look pretty ugly"

If I was a professional athlete, I'd listen to that song before every game.

that's why it's called paranoid android :idea2:

Just now...

 

Harry Patch (In Memory Of)

"i am the only one that got through

the others died where ever they fell

it was an ambush

they came up from all sides

give your leaders each a gun and then let them fight it out themselves

i've seen devils coming up from the ground

i've seen hell upon this earth

the next will be chemical but they will never learn"

 

Recently the last remaining UK veteran of the 1st world war Harry Patch died at the age of 111.

I had heard a very emotional interview with him a few years ago on the Today program on Radio4.

The way he talked about war had a profound effect on me.

It became the inspiration for a song that we happened to record a few weeks before his death.

It was done live in an abbey. The strings were arranged by Jonny.

I very much hope the song does justice to his memory as the last survivor.

 

It would be very easy for our generation to forget the true horror of war, without the likes of Harry to remind us.

I hope we do not forget.

 

As Harry himself said

"Irrespective of the uniforms we wore, we were all victims".

 

This morning the Today program played the song for the first time and now it is available to download from our website.

 

Please click here to download.

 

The proceeds of this song will go to the British Legion.

 

To peace and understanding.

Thom

 

I love the strings. Not sure about Thom's voice. :uhoh:

:happy: :heart:

WTF?

WUT! NEW SONG!

I agree with Nina, the strings are great but I just don't like Thom's voice in it. :(

That's because Colin was singing

The strings were one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. I just wish I could understand a bit more of what Thom was saying.

 

edit:

 

the lyrics were posted on DAS... duhhh

"i am the only one that got through

the others died where ever they fell

give your leaders each a gun and then let them fight it out themselves

i've seen devils coming up from the ground

i've seen hell upon this earth

the next will be chemical but they will never learn"

After listening to this, all I can say is that I love Jonny Greenwood and he's a f*^#ing Genius!!!

 

I love Jonny, especially when he creeps me out with his scary alien scales (from 2:32 ish).

 

Transcendent genius!

someone posted this part of an interview with Thom, and in regard to this new song it's really interesting!

 

TY: I’m not very interested in the album at the moment.

 

BLVR: I’ve heard you talk a lot about singles and EPs. Is that what you’re moving toward?

 

TY: I’ve got this running joke: Mr. Tanaka runs this magazine in Japan. He always says to me, “EPs next time?” And I say yes and go off on one, and he says, “Bullshit.” [Laughs] But I think really, this time, it could work. It’s part of the physical-release plan I was talking about earlier. None of us want to go into that creative hoo-ha of a long-play record again. Not straight off. I mean, it’s just become a real drag. It worked with In Rainbows because we had a real fixed idea about where we were going. But we’ve all said that we can’t possibly dive into that again. It’ll kill us. It’s also linked up to this whole thing about what is the band, what is the method of how we get together and work. But you know, Jonny [Greenwood] and I have talked about sitting down and writing songs for orchestra and orchestrating it fully and just doing it like that and then doing a live take of it and that’s it - finished. We’ve always wanted to do it, but we’ve never done it because, I think the reason is, we’re always taking songs that haven’t been written for that, and then trying to adapt them. That’s one possible EP because, with things like that, you think, Do you want to do a whole record like that? Or do you just want to get stuck into it for a bit and see how it feels?

 

BLVR: Certain ideas seem like they aren’t meant to be forty-five minutes long.

 

TY: Yeah. I mean, obviously, there’s still something great about the album. It’s just, for us, right now, we need to get away from it a bit. But it’s important to keep it going. The CD-reissue thing almost killed it, because all the labels were like, “Seventy minutes! Let’s fill it up! Blah, blah, blah.” So you get all the bonus-track shit. The majors used to put huge pressure on us and everyone to put extra stuff at the end - you know, the give the shop something extra to sell. All that fucking crap. As if your forty minutes of blood and sweat isn’t enough. But basically, they were charging too much for the CD - they knew it, and they were trying to justify it with extra stuff.

 

BLVR: Thinking about it, digital albums could really be any length these days. You could make it five hours or you could do a Stockhausen thing and -

 

TY: What? With the helicopters? [stockhausen’s Helicopter String Quarter was written for string quartet and helicopter.]

 

BLVR: Yeah. He also wrote an opera that lasted seven days.

 

TY: Nigel wants to do this thing where, I mean, I know it would be awful, but hey...

 

BLVR: But hey...

 

TY: He says, like, OK, we book in for three days, and at the end of the three days we put two tracks up every week and we do it for six weeks. I mean, it’ll never happen, but that idea of, we put it out even if we don’t know what it is and then, oh dear, it’s out.

 

BLVR: Almost like an automatic writing process.

 

TY: To us, that’s completely against everything we normally think. This may be shit. We don’t know. We haven’t had time to realize it yet. You know, that sort of thing. But that kind of gives the game away, because, actually, we are shit. And that’s why it takes three years to uncover the stuff underneath. The lyrics, I know, would be appalling. Jonny’s really big on increasing our output, though. He has a better way of saying it. Like “knocking shit out” or something. He can’t stand it anymore, the pace of the way we work. It’s fallout from all our false starts.

What the..?!

 

A Harry Patch song. I dont like it..:uhoh:

 

But i do love the strings! Go Jonny! :dance:

I'm not sure what I think about this new song... maybe I'll know after a few more listens...

This song is... meh.

i think its a fitting tribute. all the lyrics are quotes from Harry Patch himself. the way thom sings really suits the song, as its in memory of someone who has passed away. Jonny's composition is just perfect. plus i dont think they intended this to become a hit single or something.
