"Where Bluebirds Fly"
Instrumental
( 2003. There There. Com Lag.)
Even though this is listed as being instrumental, there is some singing that goes along with it. This song would fit in perfectly on an Atoms for Peace album with it's weird synthesizers and beats. I can't remember which songs came before and after it on the Radiohead EP so I don't know if it sticks out on there or not.
"Planet Telex"
You can force it but it will not come
You can taste it but it will not form
You can crush it but it's always here
You can crush it but it's always near
Chasing you home
Saying, everything is broken
Everyone is broken
You can force it but it will stay stung
You can crush it as dry as a bone
You can walk it home straight from school
You can kiss you can break all the rules
But still, everything is broken
Everyone is broken
Everyone is, everyone is broken
Everyone is, everything is broken
Why can't you forget
Why can't you forget
Why can't you forget
(1995. The Bends.)
What a classic! I love how this song sounds like we're in a whirlwind of sound. Everything reverberates and, at times, you can't even tell from where the sound is coming. Guitar? Synth? Voice? Huh? I also like the simple guitar melody that is played over all of the sound towards the end. Love things like that. It reminds me of classical music when things are getting so crazy and then you get to hear the main melody again.
And the winner is...
Planet Telex!
Lushness wins. Probably doesn't hurt that I know this song from the first note I hear.
