Exit Music (for a movie) ~ Radiohead cover

Exit Music cover by doctorcastille
A song by Radiohead, written specifically for the ending credits of the 1996 film, "Romeo and Juliet". Although not included on either of the two soundtrack albums at the request of Thom Yorke, the song appears on the band's highly acclaimed third album, "OK Computer" (1997). It was heavily inspired by Frédéric Chopin's Prelude No. 4 in E Minor. (1830).
Radiohead's music often terrifies me. This song seemed especially fitting to work on, tonight being Halloween. Play loud for maximum fright value.

Wake from your sleep,
the drying of your tears,
Today we escape, we escape.

Pack and get dressed
before your father hears us,
before all hell breaks loose.

Breathe, keep breathing,
don't lose your nerve.

Breathe, keep breathing,
I can't do this alone.

Sing us a song,
a song to keep us warm,
there's such a chill, such a chill

And you can laugh a spineless laugh,
we hope your rules and wisdom choke you.
Now we are one
in everlasting peace,

we hope that you choke, that you choke,

That means a lot to me Gyongyi - I was a little afraid to try it, and almost did not upload it. I'm so glad that you liked it.
