Monday, February 27th, 2017radiohead – the numbers
It holds us like a phantom
It touches like a breeze
It shines its understanding
See the moon smiling
Open on all channels
Ready to receive
And we’re not at the mercy
Of your chimeras and spells
Your chimeras and spells
We are of the earth
To her we do return
The future is inside us
It’s not somewhere else
It’s not somewhere else
It’s not somewhere else
One day at a time
We call upon the people
People have this power
The numbers don’t decide
Your system is a lie
The river running dry
The wings of a butterfly
And you may pour us away like soup
Like we’re pretty broken flowers
We’ll take back what is ours
We’ll take back what is ours
One day at a time

update: edited to reflect the better ears of redditor YourAnonymousCitizen, and ida sofar’s video of thom’s performance of the song the following night, in which i think he also switched the first line to “holds us” rather than “calls us”.
I bought the download of A Moon Shaped Pool right away (obviously) because the videos for Burn the Witch and Daydreaming messed me up in the best way, and I’d basically been counting the minutes since Thom played this song in Paris.
I didn’t have time to listen to the album right away, but a quick scan showed no song named Silent Spring on it. And I thought, what? No way. So that was a (small) disappointment.
And then I was driving back from an errand (helping the younger offspring schlep his amps and basses to the recording studio for their first session, as it turns out) and I finally had a chance to listen, and The Numbers came on. And the beginning is just this kind of funky noodling with chattering voices in the background, and it’s cool and all, and I was enjoying it, but then the guitar came in and I was just like
yesssssssss
Because it is on the album, just renamed. And it’s so good.
It’s all so good.
