Taken from the band’s new album released digitally on Sunday May 8th at 7pm BST via XL Recordings (with physical release to follow in on June 17th), “Burn The Witch” and “Daydreaming” are the first primroses of the new era for the legendary, highly influential experimental alt rock band RADIOHEAD! Directed by Chris Hopewell and Paul Thomas Anderson, both stunning videos can be watched below. “Burn The With” video is inspired on the British series Camberwick Green and the legendary 1973 movie The Wicker Man, while the newest tune, “Daydreaming”, is accompanied by a maze-like motion picture of Thom Yorke wandering through various locations and giving us some serious creeps in the end of the story. See for yourself.
Lyrics:
Dreamers
They never learn
They never learn
Beyond the point
Of no return
Of no returnAnd it’s too late
The damage is done
The damage is doneThis goes
Beyond me
Beyond youThe white room
By a window
Where the sun comes
ThroughWe are
Just happy to serve
Just happy to serve
YouEfil ym fo flaH
Efil ym fo flaH
Efil ym fo flaH
Efil ym fo flaH
Efil ym fo flaH
Efil ym fo flaH
Efil ym fo flaH
Efil ym fo flaHEfil ym fo flaH
Efil ym fo flaH
Efil ym fo flaH
Efil ym fo flaH
Efil ym fo flaH
Efil ym fo flaH
Efil ym fo flaH
Efil ym fo flaH
The outro of the track is comprised of reversed words, in which the author sings “Half of my life.”
Lyrics:
Stay in the shadows
Cheer at the gallows
This is a round upThis is a low flying panic attack
Sing a song on the jukebox that goesBurn the witch
Burn the witch
We know where you liveRed crosses on wooden doors
And if you float you burn
Loose talk around tables
Abandon all reason
Avoid all eye contact
Do not react
Shoot the messengersThis is a low flying panic attack
Sing the song of sixpence that goesBurn the witch
Burn the witch
We know where you live
We know where you live
