'EXIT MUSIC (FOR A FILM)'
Brooding ballad specially composed for the movie, "Romeo & Juliet", where it appears alongside another Radiohead song, "Talk Show Host". Significantly, Radiohead are first heard just as the characters are discussing Romeo's "black portentous humour".
Thom: "I like the film very much, it's just my sort of thing - not quite as many bodies as 'Hamlet'."
Ed: "Thom looked at Shakespeare's original text and tried to incorporate it into the song - but he gave up on that quickly. But I still think it fits with the film amazingly well, especially as the lyrics are actually quite personal."
