Will I make the morning?
I don't know
Tied up in half truths
Wanting payback, payback

Whining drones on a cold sea
Ramming down doors, piling in
Caught in dragnets by fishermen
Wanting payback, payback

Where are you taking me?
Where are you taking me?

Somewhere you'll be there, so long
Somewhere you'll be there, so long
Soon you'll be there, so long
Soon you'll be there

In all that fire and ice
In all that fire
In all that ice

Bury me in the way out
In the past
Oh Lord, how should I forget?
Hung up, pinned up by hammer and nails

Somewhere you'll be there, so long
Somewhere you'll be there, so long
Soon you'll be there

In all that fire
In all that ice…

Where are you taking me?
Where are you taking me?
The Smile

The Smile are an English rock band comprising the Radiohead members Thom Yorke (vocals, guitar, bass, keys) and Jonny Greenwood (guitar, bass, keys) with Tom Skinner (drums). Critics likened them to Radiohead, with more jazz, krautrock and progressive rock influences and a looser, wilder sound.

The Smile worked during the COVID-19 lockdowns and made their surprise debut in a performance streamed by Glastonbury Festival in May 2021. In early 2022, they released six singles and performed to an audience for the first time at three shows in London, which were livestreamed. In May, the Smile released their debut album, A Light for Attracting Attention, to acclaim. It was produced by Nigel Godrich, Radiohead's longtime producer.

The Smile toured Europe and North America in 2022 and 2023. They have released two live EPs: The Smile (Live at Montreux Jazz Festival, July 2022) and Europe: Live Recordings 2022. Their second album, Wall of Eyes, produced by Sam Petts-Davies, was released in January 2024.

Fantastic instrumentation and atmosphere on this track.  While it has threads of RH, Atoms For Peace, solo TY, etc, it's unique and fresh in its own way.  Just starting to get introduced to their new album.  Looking forward to hopefully hearing more tracks from it on RP.

Great - finally a Smile tune on RP! Not sure why nothing was on RP from the excellent first album...?

Got to see their live show last year in a small venue (unlike you could ever do as Radiohead) - they are excellent (no surprise). Do so if you can and a fan.

I love this track. It's very atmospheric, calm and still also very Yorkish.

First listen, was planning on a 7, but the more I listen, the more I like it. Solid 8 for sure!  Thom York and Company sure know how to grab your attention and hold it.

I like it and its Radiohead-ocity. I'm one of those who were really floored by KID A and beyond, while the other half of their audience gave up. Although it does sound like Thom is singing in a huge tiled bathroom as people come in to occasionally wash their hands.

You've told us all six times now how much you dislike this song.  Would you like some help finding the PSD button instead?

Not sure why it took so long to find confirmation or why nobody mentioned it tin the comments but this song was originally known as "Unchained Melody" and was performed by the Righteous Brothers. You're welcome. 😇
