The King of Limbs never really spoke to me until I heard your interpretations of Codex and Bloom. Your cover helped me get a lot more out of an album that I didn't give enough time to initially. Thank you for opening my eyes, and for all your wonderful tributes to Radiohead.

Watch the "From the Basement" version of TKOL available on KZread. Far far superior version of the album than the original studio version in my opinion. I would gladly buy the Basement version if they released it outside of the KZread video!

Beautiful, man. Codex is such an underrated song.

One of my favourite songs from Radiohead. Thank you for covering this song, absolutely brilliant.

The songs of radiohead/ thom yorke that affect me the most all seem to share this same image of being immersed underwater and seeing another universe there and somehow being redeemed by this.

Haha yeah sorry about. I can't resist. Tenths just sound so good all over the piano. I wish I could include more of them in my Radiohead songbook, but I know that most people can't play them comfortably.

I also struggle with the left hand, but I absolutely want to play this version... While it'll remain difficult for some people no matter what they do, in my case I was really happy to see that after some serious stretching and practicing, I can indeed reach the whole left hand with the tips of my fingers - and it sounds pretty good! Did not even know I could reach this far before trying this song. Also, a technique I've used with some other similar stretches is to do a super quick arpeggio between the little finger and the thumb (=lightning speed!). With some types of pianos, and with the help of a pedal, you can almost mask the transition!

@korento3000

Please do include them! They do sound lovely. Maybe you can write a short foreword in the songbook about different techniques to practice the tenth (stretching/arpeggios, etc.); and/or basic advice on how to locate variations to fit smaller size hands?

Hi David, there are heaps worthy of an answer to your question. I think Pyramid Song or Everything In Its Right Place both have some really beautiful harmonies, melodies and interesting rhythms / time signatures.

I know I probably won't get a response but already knew this song before hearing your rendition and I have to know how your using the pedal. It sounds perfectly sustained but not murky and lost .

It has been a fairly hot and humid week here in Melbourne and I have had to change into jeans to record my tracks all week. Would love to be running the air conditioner in my studio, but the mics pick up on the low hum. Let's just assume I was not wearing any clothes at all for this one. Glad you enjoyed the track! The out of tune piano helps create a similar effect to the original.

Are you recording with no pants.
