[Voxxination]

Can't believe I missed this performance, I live so closeby! Which club was it?

[lamofo]

@Voxxination the echoplex !

[thegrudge]

@lamofo Wow the fuckin echo plex...i missed this shit too. I just got this really bad feeling in my stomach. I should have been there. This must have been so cool seeing him there. Anywhere you are in there you would be so close to him.

[thalai21]

I need the tabs too, oh my...

[MyBeardisGood]

Are there tabs for this yet? I am dying to learn it

[apocatie34]

Check out Warren's tutorial

go to this channel: warrenmusic

[BuddyWillis]

isnt that ed's gibson?

[rickcoley]

dont think so, he used it at leeds festival... i cant imagine he'd need to borrow a guitar, though ed didnt use one at the same time so maybe it, sorry that didnt answer anything :S

[MCshlthead]

i thought ed used rickenbackers. does look like eds guitar though. wonder if he knows thoms nicked it XD

[RoboDouche]

I hate Echo Park so much. Lived there for a bit. 'orrible place.

[MyBeardisGood]

This is the most beautiful song I have heard in a long long time. In my opinion he has written anything this emotional since How to Disappear Completely or Motion Picture Soundtrack. Simply amazing.

[radioheadluv]

Could someone plz TAB this song??? One of the most touching song thom's come up with, and god does it sound amazing... TAB it, TAB it, cuz i can't lol, then post it ;)

[heman3457]

look for a channel called

warrenmusic, he teach me this song.

(sorry for the late answer)

[crazyplan9]

this song is gorgeous...cant wait to see what the full band can turn it into.......the vocals and guitar intertwining.....Diggin the falsetto

[rj213la]

Went to the Monday show in Downtown Los Angeles and before performing this song he mentioned something about it being writen/inspired from the home-sickness he gets when he is away from his children. He mainly mentioned his daughter and how before he left (and when ever he leaves to tour) she asks why he must go for so long. Of course he didn't want to bring the mood down during the show so he made a small joke towards his reply to her (don't remember the exact words), but the songs very lovely

[starbuck17]

he said, these are songs that he wrote on holiday, according to his daughter. "have a nice time on your holiday dad." He then says, "I'm working."

[PepperStudios]

Not to be too disrespectful I hope, but it sounds a bit too similar to Follow Me Around.

[reCupcake]

well its not released, so it may be a reworking of "Follow Me Around"! who knows, lots of stuff changes in songs, especially after years i'd think. :)

i like this song better, but don't like the falsetto for some reason... i usually love it, but here it feels weird, but i love the melody, it's so conflicting!

just hope it turns out as amazing/more amazing if they record it :(

[RoboDouche]

Not at all disrespectful. It's close to a reworking of the song.

[crowkangi]

sublime.

[praterzen]

like neil young

[killtherunt]

2:11 We will Slink(?) and be as quiet as mice and while the cat is away... do what we want... Do what we want...2:52 just to see what is... just to see what gives... ??? through my room... slowly we all fall as Lotus Flowers. 3:20 and dance aroung the pit. ??? says to me...

[reCupcake]

[pvtdangles]

empty space inside my heart/arm?? im not sure..

alot of it either is just stream of conciousness not making alot of sense just painting feelings thom style genius or ive got alot of the words wrong.

[pvtdangles]

slowly we unfurl as lotus flowers,

and all i want is the moon upon a stick

and dance around happy

just to see what is

i cant kick a habit just to feed your fast ballooning head

listen to your heart

[pvtdangles]

theres empty space inside my heart ,where the weeds take root so now i set you free, ill set you free.

theres an empty space inside my arm and it wont take you so now i set you free, ill set you free

[pvtdangles]

i will sink and i will dissappear

i will slip into a groove

and cut me out, cut me out

[theironprince]

Woww..!

Love it.

Just like yorke know to make it

[olavm91]

Is it just me, or does this song sound pretty much alike "Follow Me Around"? Especially the guitar.

[pvtdangles]

no its just the strumm pattern

its a totally different song

even has a different name

[raffaele1969]

Hi, I don't undestand all the word in the song....can you send me the? text??Thanks

[Geefunker]

It's just you.

[jendive]

Can definitely sense PJ Harvey's influence on this one...

[minorkeys80]

It's Joey Waronker on drums not Jeremy.

[lamofo]

thanks. mistyped. fixing that

[lamofo]

though this song was only Thom : )

[ConfidencePill]

I was at the show... At first, I thought he was going to play follow me around... because he started doing something sounded like the intro... and it's in drop D etc. But he turned out this masterpiece. His singing is very Jeff Buckleyesque here.

[urovii]

Yeah, apparently his singing style was heavily influenced by Buckley.

[yorkira]

awesome...

[kida101]

Oh man...amazing!

[thefonkykid]

Are you serious? Somebody need to inform Thom Yorke that the 90's are over.

People are happy now.

[StantheMarsh]

Don't be too sure about that. Just saying.

[polibot]

wow, this is so beautiful.

thanks for sharing.

[fushia24]

Thanks for sharing. RAWR, Jen

[pretaanluxis]

He should have used Joey Waronker instead of Jeremy Waronker

[pvtdangles]

lol wtf

[skbpm]

[shpuk91]

[sunlightleak]

[jonleesan]

THANK YOU!

[1426148550]

You know you look deadly sexy, don't you Thom?

[smithfalls]

thank you for getting this in good quality!

[gnuguitou]

Thanks a lot for sharing this!!! :D

Really looks like a "dream show"! (even if I don't care for Thom's exposed torso, LOL)

[cokursh]

beautiful .thanks for sharing

[zipotelocotrece]

Thanks so much...made my morning... Did u happen to capture Paperback...????

[starbuck17]

i want to put my hand on his chest....

[talk45]

same here...and I'm a guy

[ScreamTeam]

Is that... Thom's exposed torso...? Interesting. Maybe Flea told him that covered chests were a deal-breaker?

Thank you for sharing, did you manage to capture anymore?

[lamofo]

yes. captured like 5 songs. uploading soon....

[choopp04]

Cool thanks! great quality - may i ask which other songs you recorded?

[fushia24]

can't wait

[lamofo]

i'm pretty damn happy with the sound quality. was right in front of the front speakers and my leica captured it beautifully for a live show.

[timedilute]

[kudrauk]

Thanks for sharing, you had an amazing spot.
