I Want None of This
Recorded and released inside a single week for a charity album, and never put on a Radiohead record.
sep 2005
a day in the life
Help!: A Day in the Life was War Child's second charity album, made on the same principle as the first: everything written, recorded, mastered and released within one week. Radiohead contributed this, and it is the only Radiohead song that exists nowhere else.
It is a piano ballad, sung plainly at first and then buried under distortion, and it goes exactly where the title says. The album went to number one in Britain.
Ten years earlier the band had made “Lucky” for the first War Child record, which turned into the first mark on the wall for OK Computer. This one stayed where it was put.
