"Wall Of Eyes" by The Smile

The in-the-meantime musical project The Smile headed by Radiohead (previously here) members Thom Yorke (previously here) and Johnny Greenwood along with jazz drummer Tom Skinner have released a new song, "Wall Of Eyes" from a release of the same name out this coming January 26th, 2024. In typical Yorke/Radiohead fashion, the song shyly ambles up to you, seemingly innocent, and stealthily proceeds to devastate you...yes, let's raise a glass to everything we don't deserve...

Down a peg or two we all go
Behind a wall of eyes
Of my own device
Is that still you?
With a heart of ice
Changed to black and white
Strap yourself in

I try, but it don't go away
I try, but it don't go away
I try, but it don't go away

Let us raises our glasses
To what we don't deserve
What we're not worthy of
So rich and wide
To the grains of sand
Slipping through our hands

I try, but it don't go away (One, two, three, four, five)
I try, but it don't go away (One, two, three, four, five)
I try, but it don't go away (One, two, three, four, five)

Is that still you? (One, two, three, four, five)
Through hollow eyes (One, two, three, four, five)
Changed to black and white (One, two, three, four, five)
So strap yourself in (One, two, three, four, five)
