From William - "Radiohead has always been a band I've had to work hard to fully appreciate the level of complexity and brilliance in so much of their work. They, perhaps more than any band in recent memory, continually challenge listeners to become comfortable with dissonance, discord, ambiguity, and non-linear structure. My personal tastes have always gravitated towards simple arrangements and readily understandable themes; it's why the folk music of the 70s, 80s and 90s always spoke to me so well. But Radiohead forces you to listen over and over again, finding meaning in the subtle nuances of bizarre chord shapes, experimental sounds, and unique patterns. Weird fishes spoke to me the first time I listened to In Rainbows, and stood out for its ability to convey blatant emotions around unusual chordal melodies. I very desperately wanted to discover my own version of this and enlisted the brilliant pianist Michael Flynn to compose a piano-lead arrangement that honored the original chord structure but also gave a familiar feeling to my own work. Rosie Thomas' gorgeous vocals as accompaniment add a potent sweetness and depth. Easily one of my favorite covers I've ever done."

Lyrics
In the deepest ocean
The bottom of the sea
Your eyes
They turn me
Why should I stay here?
Why should I stay?
I'd be crazy not to follow
Follow where you lead
Your eyes
They turn me
Turn me into phantoms (Way out)
I follow to the edge
Of the earth (Way out)
And fall off
Yeah, everybody leaves here (Way out)
If they get the chance (Way out)
And this is my chance
I get eaten by the worms
And weird fishes
Picked over by the worms
And weird fishes
Weird fishes
I
Hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape
I
Hit the bottom
Bottom and escape
Escape
