Rain Down
Seventy-four minutes and twenty-nine seconds into Meeting People Is Easy, Thom Yorke soundchecks something nobody has heard since.
1998
on film, once
It is not a released song and it was not performed at a show. It is a fragment: Yorke soundchecking in Japan, caught by the cameras making Meeting People Is Easy, at 1:14:29.
The 2003 site logged it with that timecode, which is exactly the sort of detail a fan archive exists to keep. Somebody sat with the video and a notebook.
A guitar tab for it also survives in this site's tablature section, which means somebody else worked it out by ear from the film.
the record
a fragment
No release, no setlist entry, no lyrics. One timestamp on a documentary and a tab transcribed from it.
the video
An early attempt at the section, out of the OK Computer outtakes.· ishaanwatch on youtube →
