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”
