That lovable thorn hidden away in the music industry’s sweatpants, Thom Yorke, has gifted the world a new down-tempo tune for everyone to enjoy. This time it's on Bandcamp and, again, as many of his latest releases are, it’s on a pay-what-you-want scale.
Thom Yorke – that lovable thorn hidden away in the music industry’s sweatpants – has gifted the world a new down-tempo tune for everyone to enjoy. This time it's on Bandcamp and, again, as many of his latest releases are, it’s on a pay-what-you-want scale.
According to Rolling Stone, the track was first teased in January of 2013 when Yorke “shared an early, "unfinished" version of the track during a 25-minute montage of loose Radiohead song stems and remixes that Yorke gathered for his Dazed Digital Mix. At the time, 'You Wouldn't Like Me…' appeared destined for Yorke's Atoms for Peace side project, but nearly two years later he's released the track under his own name.”
He’s also taken to his Twitter account to clear up any confusion with the lyrics, as if they aren’t sung slow enough to pick up on:
I can't come when you call
I am not who you thought
Youwouldn'tlikemewhenI'mangry
My dark places
Just when you left
What should not
Just is
You've built this up
I don't want to disappoint you
I am not who you want
Growing arms
Growing legs
My loss
Is your gain
You've built this up
