Harrowdown Hill
Song
Thom and Flea: rock's odd couple...vaults. By Yorke's own admission, the 2006 electronica album's "Harrowdown Hill" is the "most angry" song he has ever written, so Flea's brand of funk slap bass would not, on the surface, seem to be the ideal accompaniment. Still, fans... In this article: Thom Yorke, Radiohead, Flea, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Eraser, Harrowdown Hill, The Eraser, Harry Patch, Nigel Godrich, and Tobey Maguire |

More on Harrowdown Hill
Description from Wikipedia:
"Harrowdown Hill" is a song by Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke and is the eighth track on his 2006 album The Eraser. The song was also released as a limited edition single in the United Kingdom on 21 August 2006, peaking at #23 in the UK Singles Chart (see 2006 in British music). "Harrowdown Hill" was Yorke's first official solo single, and one of two to be released from The Eraser; however, the track "Black Swan" had already been issued as a radio-only single in some areas. The song was written about biological warfare expert David Kelly who, as a matter of some contention, committed suicide in 2003. However, there is speculation that he was murdered, as demonstrated in the song. Thom Yorke himself confirmed the song's meaning in several interviews.
A video for the song was released 31 July and had its first play on Channel 4.
