Day 2: High and Dry

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
