The Bends (1995)

The thing about Radiohead’s singer, Thom Yorke, is that he has a great voice. What I find most impres­sive is his range, espe­cially in the upper reg­is­ter. This is a song that shows off that higher pitch, the falsetto, that he can reach. I also love the pseudo-acoustic sound to the gui­tars. For an album marked by it’s rock, this one stands out as being more stripped down and honest.

Notable lyric: Dry­ing up in con­ver­sa­tion / you will be the one you can­not talk / All your insides fall to pieces / you just sit there wish­ing you could still make love
