I haven't seen too many interviews with Thom Yorke, but what I've noticed with all of them is that Thom always tries to give honest answers and not pretending something, which unfortunately a lot of musicians do. That makes him very sympathetic to me, regardless of his music (which I appreciate very much).
@MidnaBoa10 ай бұрын
The way he describes Neil’s voice is exactly my thoughts on Thom’s voice. I adore his voice, because there’s no filter. It’s just purely what comes out naturally. It’s finding that flow, and not questioning it. I think it’s a special quality that is really beautiful.
@defragsbin4 ай бұрын
Agreed. Some of the most distinctive singers aren't considered classically 'good'. However, their voices are unique -- it's like they've got their very own instrument that nobody else can ever borrow. One phrase and you know it's them. How cool is that? Meanwhile there's countless 'good' singers out there, but they're largely interchangeable / anonymous. As David Byrne said, "The better a singer's voice, the harder it is to believe what they're saying".

When Thom mentions that you have to be obstinate as a songwriter, I can't help but think that the obstinacy is only in relation to how many people are trying to shape you in some way that isn't what you are as an artist and a person. If everyone's trying to kill you in a war zone, your jumpiness and terror is a response, not who you are. Not everyone is equipped to withstand the pressure to alter creativity to the needs of the market. Such pressure makes a lot of people withdraw. Some artists can laugh in the face of the pressures and do as they please. It has to be so hard to not just be creative but brilliant on command, let alone to have non-creative personnel pushing you around all the time.

And thank God for differences. Viva la difference, as I believe the French say.
