Running.
One of my current favorites from HM. More than anything I would feel a lot of The Fragile here, particularly the way Trent sounds, along the vocal treatments, some of the instrumentation as well, but really it's a true HM track. Yes.
The song is pretty dense with sounds, a solid orchestration. There's a lot to appreciate, and I really do. It sits next to more fleshed-out songs, for that I believe it gets a little misunderstood, and in other cases better understood for the same reason. I find its place on the record is great; it helps the latter half out a lot in variance, and it's oddly a very satisfying tune.
While I'm not that much into Thom Yorke or a mega fan of Josh Homme (not emotionally invested), I can still see some of their familiarities across this song, the distinct pace of the song to TY type stuff, and mostly JH kinda channeled in the last vocal melody, for me. (I don't think his name was ever mentioned when it came to this song, unlike TY.) More so than TY there, probably simply because TY's whole voice quality is far different from anybody's on planet Earth.
Anyway...TRENT nails it completely on this one.
The small vocal note changes on the choruses get me so, I dunno why...
One of them in particular is @ 1:12 -- "I'm running out of places..."
And later on, separately--the subtly animated, kind-of whispering vocals conveying a lack of oxygen in the final breakdown(?)...pretty cool.
