Thinking About You
An electric song on the Drill EP, stripped back to acoustic guitar and harmonium for the album.

It dates from around 1991, in the On a Friday years, and appears on the Manic Hedgehog demo as a full electric arrangement. The Drill EP in 1992 used that same recording. For Pablo Honey they took it apart: acoustic guitar, and a harmonium added by Jonny Greenwood.
Q read the lyric as Yorke casting himself as the discarded former lover of someone who has since become famous, and there is a strain of self-loathing running under it that the arrangement does nothing to hide. Family lore has it that the Greenwood brothers' mother loved this one.
1991–98
