Last week Thom Yorke (Radiohead), performed a haunting and beautiful song titled “Daily Battles”, on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. I just had to post is as I gone back to listen to it multiple times.
The song is part of the sound track to the latest film produced and directed by Edward Norton, based on the 1999 novel of the same name by Jonathan Lethem. Set in New York city in 1950s, the film follows a private investigator with Tourette syndrome trying to solve the murder of his boss. Anyway the song spoke to me, so I thought I’d post it, and the trailer to the film. Enjoy.
Daily Battles
by Thom Yorke
The lines are drawn For daily battles Trumpet sound For daily troubles Lock your dreams away You're waking up Enough about Your broken heart You're on parade For daily battles The other side It has no face Upon its cause We can't remember Enough about Your broken heart The lines are drawn For daily battles An argument I cannot stop Lock your dreams away You're waking up Enough about Your broken heart
Peace, dwight
“Daily Battles”
