We run for the hills We run like fools Our city is aflame The bells ringing The bells ringing Devastation has come Left in a station with a note upon Now, there's never any place Never any place to put my feet back down No, there's never anywhere Scene is rolled away, lights are taken down On a newspapers stand Any feeble branch to put my weight upon Well, I lie to myself Anywhere I dare to put my feet back down Who'll find a cab In the pouring rain? Who'll find a vein To put the needle in? And who hears that voice? It's like bells ringing How will I know you? How will I know you? How will I know you?

There are guitar nuances reminiscent of "Reckoner" floating in the second half. And the vibe of the album as a whole feels like an adjunct to A Moon Shaped Pool.

How does this man sound so ethereal? It's like melancholy in the dark depths of space.

This song brought me to tears when I seen them in Glasgow in march, unbelievable experience 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎸👀👍

Man, I shed tears of joy for The Smile.

This song and the rest of the album, is an absolute post-radiohead masterpiece, every time I hear those songs, I can hear unique melodies, impossible guitar arrangements and superb percussion and drums. Not to speak about Thom's bass lines, simple, effective and serving the songs... It' s been a long time since the last time I got that sense of travelling to another places while listening which is amazing...This light has attacted my attention, definitely 👍🏼

It never fails that Thom and Johnny can put out an album that at first disorients, and yet ends up worming it's way into your subconscious. My first listen leaves me wondering if their best days are behind them, but after repeated investigation I fall ever deeper in love with it. It's one of my favorite characteristics of their songwriting. It never gets old. And Jonny's brass orchestration on this album is sublime.

I will never understand how music you were never into can have so much impact on you at a specific age. Radiohead (and Thom Yorke) are now my all-time favorite artists and 100% reflect how I feel (at least in this phase of my life).

I think this may be my favorite.. aside from Thin Thing. Such a beautiful song. Love the way he sings "any feeble branch to put my weight upon"

When I first listened to this song I was high, and when the song changed it's mood at 1:09 I felt genuine euphoria. This is probably my favorite track because of that experience.

One of the best in the album!! This whole project's on another level

"How will I know you?"💔 Damn, brings me to tears every time.

This is just amazingly done

This album is so good. It’s beautiful, grooving, dark…so textural and in sync with itself. Thom’s voice is fanatastic as always and Johnny’s work is impeccable as we’ve all come to greet with wide open ears. Tom is such a great addition to these two. ❤️❤️❤️

Absolute favourite from the album 🌺

The final section of this song is incredible. Favourite moment on the record

it's the rolling piano from The Numbers/Glass Eyes at 3:05 that seals it for me

I've not seen a group or artist grow and evolve and improve for 30 years. I really havent. a lot of people start phoning it in. Thom and Jonny are a once in a lifetime example of synchronicity. 2 musical genius' meeting, and connecting so deeply. I hope for the future of music, that it had as little as possible to do with their academic backgrounds. if not, there is perhaps a lesson to learn.

Like the off-beat composition, top drummer to keep up with two geniuses. see you in sunny Edinburgh

The animations on these videos are simply amazing… ❤

Pretty weird to think the majority of tracks on the album now have music videos. Shout out to Sabrina Nichols for making that the case!
