Thom Yorke - Suspirium

This is a waltz thinking about our bodies

What they mean for our salvation

With only the clothes that we stand up in

Just the ground on which we stand

Is the darkness ours to take?

Bathed in lightness, bathed in heat

All is well, as long as we keep spinning

Here and now, dancing behind a wall

When the old songs and laughter we do

Are forgiven always and never been true

When I arrive, will you come and find me?

Or in a crowd, be one of them?

Wore the wrong sign back beside her

Know tomorrow's at peace

It's the day after, and I am completely and utterly wrecked. Today is a day to recover and just veg on the couch, so just a quick post today.

I absolutely love this song by Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke. It was featured in the 2018 Suspiria remake (which by remake standards was quite exceptional), and it perfectly envelops the malaise of day-after melancholy. A beautifully haunting and simple song from a man and his piano...

Enjoy.

  

Thom Yorke - "Has Ended"

The second track from Radiohead front man Thom Yorke's Suspiria film soundtrack was released today. Another track that still sounds a lot like Radiohead, but I'm really interested in seeing how it sets the tone for the upcoming film. I like this one a lot and I'm getting more excited for the film's October release.

Thom Yorke - "Suspirium"

Today, Thom Yorke, front man for mega indie legends Radiohead, released the first track to his film score for the upcoming Suspiria remake. Although I've been fairly neutral with all things Radiohead, I was actually quite interested to hear what a Yorke-penned film score would sound like.

And upon first listen, it sounds pretty much like a Radiohead song. But that may not be a bad thing. The track itself is hauntingly melancholic, with minimal piano and flute tracks to support Yorke's signature lyrical sound.

After a few listens, I began to wonder how this track would fit into what looks like an incredibly dark, tense and muted film. It should be very interesting to see how this helps set the tone, and I'm really interested to hear more.

Yorke's Suspiria (Music For The Luca Guadagnino Film) is available for pre-order now at XL Recordings.
