    If there ever was a song that could be Radiohead's "last" song, it is this. Even though it was written ages ago, the lyrics, strings and guitar all make it feel like a culmination of all the bands work into one song.

    I think they should have released it as a single after OK Computer, like late '98 or early '99, to tide people over till the next album. KID A would have been an even bigger mind-blowing album if it followed the Lift single lol. But they had moved on from the sound of grungy guitars and big choruses by then.

      They also said it didn't fit the album, something i disagree with. It might not fit from a production view, it's way more pop and anthemic than the rest of tracks, but thematically it does. Lift: the fear of being stuck in an elevator. The tourist: the fear of being involved in a car accident. Lucky: the fear of being involved in a plane crash.
      Basically the fear of industrialization, something that's present through the whole album.

    Radiohead are true geniuses for being able to make a song like this but also recognize how huge it could've been (would've rivaled Creep as their "signature" song). Judging by how well their career has gone, maybe they made the right choice in withholding this to keep their sanity. If I had to put it on OK Computer, I'd put it inbetween Airbag and Paranoid Android.

    これが世に出ちゃったことでOKNOTOKに収録されてるLiftが2017年頃に改 めて録り直された、96年当時の発掘音源使用っていう宣伝文句がウソだって分かっちゃったよね…

    I can just imagine it being on the first release just because it feels too much like the disc 1 songs, raw. great song.

      its a masterpiece. Deserves its place in Radiohead lore alongside the outro to Pearly*. Imagine writing this, listening back and realising you just wrote a smash hit. Then deciding it not to release it for thst reason, because you didnt like th impact the last one had, and generally hold your early writing to be corny and uncomfortable to you.

    i think the beginning should be in the released version but i definitely prefer the pace in the released version more

    both versions slap in their own different ways. one is more heavy and the other is majestic
