MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1 – “The Bends” intro)

On March 13th of 1995…

Radiohead released their second album in the U.S.

The Bends.

(Music Cut #2 – “The Bends”)

After the success of “Creep,”

the band was fighting the fear of becoming

a one-hit wonder.

One of the album’s defining songs,

“Fake Plastic Trees,”

almost wasn’t working.

(Music Cut #3 – “Fake Plastic Trees”)

So the band went to see
Jeff Buckley
play a small club.

His voice completely floored them.

They went back to the studio.

Thom Yorke recorded two acoustic takes—

and burst into tears.

That take became the song.
