I have listened to the album version at least 15 times now, and the same thing keeps happening. And then on the album it slides into A Hairdryer. Just perfect.

Damn. 😭I'm not an emotionally expressive person but Thom can always reduce me to tears. I think we all aged beyond our years the past 2 years of covid lockdowns and anxiety.

Radiohead has been my favorite band since the beginning. There’s a lot of great bands out there, but nothing that compares to them!

I suggested to some friends recently that Radiohead’s music may be one of the only facets of the current musical era that has the chance of the longevity and continued relevance of classical music.

Or the famous musicians like Neil Young and Joni Mitchell who were traitors to the spirit of music. And to think that those two were heroes of mine when I was growing up in the 70s. Heartbreaking.

The first time I picked up a Radiohead album. Was 1997, my 13 year old self was just smitten with this band I have discovered. Well, I’m from the states. So back then I never got the chance to see them and or Thom . Fast Forward to 2023 . 26 years into my Thom Yorke / Radiohead love affair. July 10th. I got to see the smile. And it was just about the most amazing show I’ve ever seen. I finally got to see my Hero . Thank you and what an amazing show. I’m still processing what I saw that night. All I know is I will have memory of that experience the rest of my life. I’m glad it took me til 39 to see this man. Worth every moment , day, month, year & decade waiting .

His voice is actually getting better.

I'm glad for him to be back on a stage after the pandemic.

Thank you Thom Yorke! I pray more and more people understand and believe what your lyrics are saying. Cheers!

I notice that this is the first time I'm seeing Thom look so relaxed on stage with his eyes open and gazing at the audience, as if looking like he's touching peoples hearts with his gaze rather than keeping his eyes closed and making it look like he's in a different place while still on stage. I don't think I've ever seen him like that before. It's a very nice new presentation for him to be so open on stage performing like this. Also he really looks like Keanu Reeves with the long hair and beard...and a botched eye lol!

Absolute lovely man and delightful singer & wordsmith.

Thom is a treasure to us all. It's liberating to see him hold this torturous moment with clarity and nuance. His expression has truly (en)lightened my life. Boris will be retrained soon, but never you! To many more years!

what a lucky audiences to be there

A true, pure icon.

When Thom Yorke steps onto the stage with an acoustic guitar, you know you're about to hear the sound of electronic whales giving birth.

This man never ever fails to move and amaze me. Yet another, utterly beautiful masterpiece. We are so lucky to have him!

I'm happy to know The Smile wrote more tracks than were played at the not Glastonbury show. Most of those songs are unbelievably original for Thom and Johnny compositions. I've had my fingers crossed for more music ever since the debut.

Greatest and most innovative artist of our time. No doubt in my mind. He has shaped me as a human being.

What a wonderful musician and songwriter is Thom. Full of emotions and sensibility.

Extraordinarily wonderful. singer-songwriter is a wonderful musician of humanity. What a voice .... what human warmth .... The poetic champion Simple beautiful 🙏 Thank you very much Tom and keep writing us and performing wonderful songs. Take care of yourself and above all take care of yourself.

I love this tune and Thom Yorke is the shit! Made me tear up for humanity. Listen to the lines closely...Thom is on the right side of history.

Some Neil Young and Frusciante in there... Nice and simple, straightforward. I generally enjoy Yorke's more elusive, hermetic and mysteriously dreamy lyrics, but an explicit, hopeful folksong such as this is indeed a dying breed, most needed during these dark times.

Spine chillingly AWESOME! Can't wait for the Smile's album to drop.

His voice and spirit always touch my heart and life.

Great performance, Thom is a very important part of music and I hope he continues to provide comfort and solice

This is a truly healing song for these times. Thanks again Thom, I owe you the world.

There are reassuring people, people who accompany us in our life, during a short moment in the history of the world that we have the chance to share, some of them end up disappearing some are still there. Thom yorke is one of them, already eternal, always reassuring.
