All for the Best (New Thom Yorke)
Thom Yorke & Co. have released several songs over the last month or so, and they’ve all been okay. I mean you can’t really go wrong with Thom Yorke, but after the release of In Rainbows I think it has been somewhat difficult for the newer material to measure. However, one of these songs stands out above the rest and, ironically, it is not even written by Mr. Yorke.
Thom recorded a cover of Miracle Legion’s “All for the Best” for a tribute and benefit album titled Ciao My Shining Star: The Songs of Mark Mulcahy that was released on September 29th. I’m not sure why, but even though I heard about this song months before it was released I didn’t really make a huge effort to seek it out and listen to it, and then I kinda forgot about it.
Then a couple of days ago a friend from work (who is a fellow Radiohead fan) mentioned it to me, so I decided to check it out.
I was blown away!
I must have listened to that song 15 times that day, and it is still in heavy rotation on my iPod.
The music video is also really awesome, so check it out and let me know what you think.
