my best guess at the lyrics at 4:16 from hearing the song a ton
waiting
waiting drives you crazy
waiting drives you crazy
endless repetition
endless come and leaving
hear it come again
do not bother coming
endlessly to heaven
why not stay there

[@fullmetalpsyche7755]

They worked on nude for 11 years before releasing it

[@BearFattfilm]

@@stephenhawking9781 I know it's not unusual for them. I was just surprised to see that one in particular. I can't imagine what the early version sounded like. I believe Thom was performing "True Love Waits" in The Bends era and that didn't make it onto a record until A Moon Shaped Pool. I recall you do get to see part of a live performance of Nude during the Ok Computer tour in the documentary "Meeting People is Easy".

[@zynel413]

@@BearFattfilm wild how long they can vault a song for. It's always interesting seeing it change as their emotional headspace and music influences change, like True Love Waits turning from a warm acoustic borderline brit pop song into a such a cold and ambient track. Also the version of Identikit they played on the TKOL tour, with the key change. I'll never forgive them for getting rid of the key change...

yes there are 6 minidisc demos they are just rarely uploaded on youtube here is a folder with them mega.nz/folder/FVg1gCzA#w1LXZ97sQJkEieH-CiSWKQ (here they are called rehearsals instead of numbered but they are the same songs 9.1 is #3 here and #4 is two different ones together that's why there's 6 despite only having 5 rehearsal files and also there is the 4 track demo here is a bonus that was not part of the minidiscs but is another early version)

Where did you find this?

[@Naomiarchive]

a couple years ago 16 hours of really great and interesting demo material for ok computer stored on mini discs leaked online (really recommend listening to the mini disc paranoid android I believe it's on youtube) and a bit later the band found out and released it officially for around 20 days I believe on Bandcamp although in lower quality and a few things removed for copyright reasons and then after that time was up they took everything down and ever since the contents have been kinda annoying to find as anything that isn't just like one song from it gets detected and taken down so the only real place to find more than a couple songs now is file sharing services like soulseek

it's not don't worry!! really unfortunate that this is a thing to worry about now but no it's from the minidisc leak that happened a few years ago this is a real demo from 96 I believe it's difficult to find these songs as compilations of them get removed from RUclips very often I'm shocked this has stayed up just fine
you can read some more about the leak here if you're interested this version of let down is from the 9th disc en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MiniDiscs_(Hacked)
