New Radiohead Song Posted

2009-08-05 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 52 Comments
Tune into BBC Radio 4 at 8.50 AM GMT (3.50 AM EST) to hear a brand new Radiohead song entitled 'Harry Patch (In Memory Of)' played for the very first time.

Harry Patch was the oldest man in Europe, and the last surviving trench veteran of the First World War, until his death on July 25.

Update: The song can now be streamed (for free) and downloaded from the band's official website now for £1 sterling. All proceeds will go to the British Legion.

This sounds very Amnesiac-ish, which is a verrryyy good thing.

im noticing a more 'pretty' vibe to the new radiohead stuff (even though this doesnt look like album material) and i love it

Yeah, that was actually pretty lame overall. It was epic in the beginning but then turned out to be total meh.

Kinda pretty, kinda boring. Not bad considering it's impromptu and the time it took to make it.

Pretty dull, but some bits are cool, props to them for doing that though, and so soon too.

It was ok, this needs more sinking in. It will definitely not be on the new album, nice of them to pay tribute like this

ruled. wasn't really radiohead though. it was thom and some orchestra. although one of them was probably jonny greenwood.

dunno if I like this. it just sort of... ended, which was pretty disappointing.

this was also on the front page of the bbc, for some reason.

I love pretty much anything radiohead puts its name on, this being no exception.

that said, this is probably not a new direction for a band. It definitely sounds reminiscent of other b-sides and rarities they've done. Lovely though

The orchestra was the best part of the song.

Overall, reminds me of Motion Picture Soundtrack, just without the long pauses. Song was kinda meh.

That was nice, I will have to read the interview that Yorke was moved by.

candlelight vigil at Thom's house tomorrow morning, everybody's invited
and afterwards we'll huddle around his television and watch animated WWI films

strings were awesome, Thom was aimless and annoying

Beautiful strings, the vocal performance is a little odd, but I think Thom wanted to sound muffled and distant like in "You and Whose Army?".

It's not going to be an album track or anything, it's just a nice one-off charity song. Nothing more to analyze other than the cause the song is for.

Oh wait, I forgot, this isn't Opeth.

THIS SUCKS.

Maybe avoiding a definite sound is half of their influence, oathfbass. I imagine they probably influenced bands to introduce various experimental elements to their music.

also: this is beautiful, an awesome tribute. And considering it's a tribute to someone who had recently died, I don't see how some of you would want it to be more "exciting"
