my iron lung - radiohead (cover) by alicia widar

[@TanguyBlanchard]

Fun fact : the drums, bass and (most) guitars on the album version were recorded live during a concert. They're just that good

[@craggerrs]

blimey! Seeing them live is an unforgettable experience

[@erikgeday8050]

@@craggerrs The MIL videoclip was also recorded in that concert (Live at Astoria 1994). However, I must say that Thom´s voice sounds much better in the studio version ;).

Is that true? Lol amaze i can see it

[@TanguyBlanchard]

it is!@@89.

[@jr2k2rj]

Live versions are just too noisy to deal with from a sound engineers perspective. You can't control the ambience, it's even worse for recording live orchestral instruments.

[@lukepurser3432]

This feels like when someone's playing music when you're sleeping, and you can hear it in your dream. That's a beautiful feeling.

I was a Radiohead spree a few months ago, repeat repeat repeat, the bends is underrated, one of my favourites

[@johndontas5910]

matching my current radiohead obsession:)) you should do no surprises next, your voice would suit it so much!! missed ur covers so much

[@ConicalRamirez]

Ahhh please no!! No surprises is my least favourite Radiohead song and Radiohead are my favourite band!

[@aaronsolis3076]

@@ConicalRamirez you don’t have to watch it

[@ConicalRamirez]

@@aaronsolis3076 obviously. I never even imagined that I would be forced to watch it. That makes zero sense. Am I likely to be kidnapped and tortured unless I watch it?! I never assumed that but thanks for pointing out such an obvious fact. Anyway in relation to the reasoning behind my comment, I would love to see Alicia do more Radiohead but there are so many better Radiohead songs that she could do rather than that boring No Surprises. And if you think No Surprises is the best Radiohead song for her to do shows you don’t know many Radiohead songs.

[@eranceintol8949]

What a cool choice for a cover song !!

[@Orangienblue]

Fun fact: Radiohead made this song about their commercial success "Creep" because of how much they hated that song and album in general. Also great cover!

[@CubanLegend561]

love the effects! the reverb vocals and the extra guitar track make this SO GOOD to listen to, Also your voice is quite remarkable for this song! :D Thank you for making this, its a very nice alternate version of the song to listen to, i can see myself playing it and listening to it more regularly.

Wow Alicia! Seeing someone as young as you playing music that was great but somehow discarded by time is very refreshing. All of this music got me through the hardest years of my life, your covers and selections are great, look into Becks music catalog from the albums Mutations and sea change there are some real gems hidden in those albums! Some of my favorite covers and inspirations stemmed from his music.
