Yes! I requested this too so thanks for making. I think from AMSP, Present Tense is my favourite song and a review would be really great and to see what he thinks. Interesting that he said that about the Mellotron because that part with the string sounds after “tie me to the rotten deck” at 2:00 is my favourite bit, absolutely beautiful song. I think you are right about the lyrics too like it sounds happy but there is an underlying theme of some sort of distaste to the lover because it is not a relationship that seems to be going well, “the ship is wrecked” (literally like the relationship is like a sinking (or sunk) ship) and there are tantrums and Thom is getting locked out, so it is a bit ambiguous which one in the relationship is in the wrong from the lyrics. It’s could all be a facade just to try and make yourself look like you’re trying to be better when really you know the relationship won’t work.
At the beginning of a live version of I PROMISE by Radiohead (Dublin 2017) Thom York says something like, that maybe one of Radiohead's biggest mistakes was not issuing this song earlier.
Sometimes I hate that we're doing this track by track as IR, and basically everything since The Bends, should be taken in as a whole. I blame his attention span
Song request!! Absolomb - periphery but within radiohead, present tense is quite nice, and Ive really enjoyed open the floodgates from the Smile as well
From a Moon Shaped Pool I would suggest the beautifully crafted Present Tense, unless you have already been there. I find the older I get the more I am drawn to Thom's solo music, Eraser and Anima are albums I play more often than Radiohead records.
Dang, I feel like I could list the whole album here. Except this version of True Love Waits 🤮. I'm going to go with Daydreaming or Desert Island Disks though! Identikit, Present Tense, and TTSSRMPMBMT are also great haha.
When I first heard it in June 2017, this song really managed to bring me back to the past. A time when KID A did not yet exist. And the music video is 10/10.
One of my favorite b-sides. It’s one of Thom’s best vocal performances. Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong please! 😎 A Moon Shaped Pool song- Decks Dark or Present Tense.
Loved this video, could you maybe react to Where i end and you begin next?
I think we're going to AMSP next. But a good one for the next HTTT track
Thanks for the melotron information - very educational!
Thank you, this is indeed a beautiful song. In a Radiohead context, this a very 90s song! And that is more than fine by me!
Yes! 90's song released in the 10's. RH never sounds old

You said it perfectly. Sorry to miss you on the shout outs.

I recommend doing open the floodgates from a light for attracting attention
Nice choice in track. I hadn’t heard of it until OKNOTOK.
Present Tense or The Numbers from AMSP.
I would love to see you show him All I Need for In Rainbows which is an all favourite of mine from Radiohead!

You should do identikit next

I haven't listened to Eraser in over a year. I'll have to get back to it. Present Tense is a composition! I hope he's ready

Right?! I would never disparage a choice by RH but there are better versions of TLW

Yes. Like Lift, it took me back to when they were focusing on melody
How I Made My Millions
Love it. Maybe not right after I Promise, but soon

Yes! The vocals. Also yes to Punchdrunk.
