The new song is a tribute to the memory of Harry Patch, the last surviving World War I combat soldier, who died at age 111 on July 25. Apparently, Thom Yorke was so moved by an interview with the veteran from 2005 that he decided to pay him homage in song.
Not the most exciting of tracks, but it’s well intentioned. The song can downloaded from the Radiohead website, with all profits going to the Royal British Legion.
