Radiohead 向 Harry Patch 致敬

Leslie Cheung 超過 15 年前

曾參與第一次世界大戰及歐洲最年長人左 Harry Patch 剛於上月（7月25日）去世，享年111歲。Thom Yorke 多年前曾經為 Radio 4 的 Today 節目訪問過他，而這次訪問當中他談及對戰爭的見解，對 Thom 有著深遠的影響。為了向這位偉人致敬，Thom 及 Jonny 於一間修道院裡灌錄了新歌 "Harry Patch (In Memory Of)"。

這首歌曲由星期三（8月5日）起已經在樂隊的網頁內以數碼下載形式出售。歌曲的收入會捐贈給 the Royal British Legion。

Thom 同時亦將歌曲的歌詞上載：

"i am the only one that got through
the others died where ever they fell
it was an ambush
they came up from all sides
give your leaders each a gun and then let them fight it out themselves
i've seen devils coming up from the ground
i've seen hell upon this earth
the next will be chemical but they will never learn"
