    LYRICS / LETRA:
    Free in the knowledge
    That one day this will end
    Free in the knowledge
    Everything is change
    And this is just a bad moment
    We are fumbling around
    We won’t get caught like that
    Soldiers on our backs
    We won’t get caught like that
    Face using fear
    Try to keep control
    But when we get together
    Well then, who knows
    And this is just a bad moment
    We are fumbling around
    We won’t get caught like that
    Soldiers on our backs
    We won’t get caught like that
    I talk to the face in the mirror
    But he can't get through
    I said it's time that you deliver
    'Cause we see through you
    I talk to the face in the mirror
    But he can't get through
    Turns out we’re in this together
    Both me and you

    Thom Yorke once again perfectly capturing the spirit defining all of our lives during a difficult time, and then delivering it to the world with all the grace, generosity and humility of a saint, a saint who is to music what Lewis Carroll was to children's literature.

    I notice that this is the first time I'm seeing Thom look so relaxed on stage with his eyes open and gazing at the audience, as if looking like he's touching peoples hearts with his gaze rather than keeping his eyes closed and making it look like he's in a different place while still on stage. I don't think I've ever seen him like that before. It's a very nice new presentation for him to be so open on stage performing like this.
    Also he really looks like Keanu Reeves with the long hair and beard...and a botched eye lol!

    Thom has always been prolific in his approach and scope of his music. I have always love and appreciated the depth of his emotive,ironic,frightening, and even sometimes "cheeky" way that he (and Radiohead) express themselves....and he even looks like a cast member of the reboot LORD OF THE RINGS.😉

    Some Neil Young and Frusciante in there...
    Nice and simple, straightforward.
    I generally enjoy Yorke's more elusive, hermetic and mysteriously dreamy lyrics, but an explicit, hopeful folksong such as this is indeed a dying breed, most needed during these dark times.
