“All For the Best” by Thom Yorke (originally by Miracle Legion)

I simply love this song. The jittery opening drums. The organ moving forward and back in waves. Mark Mulcahy’s bittersweet lyrics delivered by my favorite vocalist (Thom Yorke, of course). Andy’s smoky backing vocals. The sudden injection of jarring guitars. And the last minute is possibly the most beautiful music Thom has arranged since Pyramid Song.

There’s something weird about Thom Yorke singing “say you love me. Say you love me. Let’s just say you love me.” They’re not his words but I can see why he chose to cover this song. You’re such a sap, Thom.
