More on High and Dry
Description from Wikipedia:
"High and Dry" is a song by the English alternative rock band Radiohead, and was the second single released from their second album, The Bends (1995). It was as a double A-side with album opener "Planet Telex". "High and Dry" was released in the UK on 5 March 1995 and peaked at only number 17 in the UK singles chart, despite being one of the band's most well known radio tracks.
"High and Dry" was recorded during the Pablo Honey sessions but was dismissed by the band, who thought that it sounded like a Rod Stewart song. However, during the sessions for The Bends it was rediscovered and remastered, as it was felt that it worked well with the rest of the album's content. The version that appears on the album is the original demo; it was never re-recorded.
The song is widely regarded as Radiohead's most accessible pop hit, and was a live favourite, though it has not been performed in a decade. There was speculation this was mostly due to the demands of the vocal part on Thom Yorke's voice. However, in a recent interview, Yorke instead stated that he simply did not like the song, saying "It's not bad... it's very bad". He also stated that "I had my arm twisted" with regards to releasing the song at all.
