    I didn’t think anyone else could ever do How to Disappear Completely justice. I stand corrected.

      The Anita Lester cover is the best version of that song, arguably better than the original.
      I dont use that description lightly when it comes to Radiohead covers.

      If you want an exceptional rendition listen to Ane Brun’s cover… love the original but her version is superior imo, it truly conveys the emotion of the song like no other

    jesus, this was beautiful. the national anthem was sick with the intense strings in the background and the trumpet was well played. how to disappear completely is my favorite Radiohead song and has a special place in my heart, and this cover gave me chills. the vocals were dark and moody and the entire atmosphere you all created was brilliant. I loved how much it kept my attention. this is the best radiohead cover I've seen, well done!

      Thom said How to Disappear is about the existential dread he felt after becoming as famous as he did from Radiohead. After their first album he intentionally attempted to make an album completely opposite of what it was, that album was OK Computer. That album became more popular than even most Beatles records at their peak.
      Thom hated being in the spotlight as much as he was and felt that people saw him for something that’s not really him, all he wanted to do was disappear.

    I adore almost everything about this. But I'm a firm believer in staying on pitch if you're going to go for drawn out runs.

    More attention should have been put on the musicians. I would really recommend redoing this with either a different vocalist or after shes had more training.

    Her singing was great, BUT it just would have been better if she had sung it straight. Unfortunately, she instead she adds fancy little frilly trillys. You don't fight fire with fire; and it this case, you don't crush a soul with Soul. After all of the work they did to orchestrate this complex piece unplugged, they actually defeated the purpose of the song itself. The whole point was for her voice to be One with the crying strings.
