[music, songs] March 24, 2003 at 9:12:00 PM CET Morning Bell vs. Morning Bell/Amnesiac Yesterday I listened to the version on Kid A attentively for the first time. It was a positive surprise. As it was a different song. Starting with the drum (machine?) doing this kind of accelerated drumming like in a drum roll. The tune evolves slowly. There are many electronic sounds in the background: I hear braking cars. There is lots of improvisation. This version is much lighter than the other one. Yorke is singing unintelligible syllables in the second half with the improvisation in full blossom. I love the extremely deep bass at the end. This version is light years better than the one on Amnesiac. A question I ask myself. Why did Radiohead put that boring version on Amnesiac and why did they do two versions in the first place? And what do you think of this song and those two versions? P.S. The line "Cut the kids in half" always makes me think of the King Salomo from the old testament. You know the one who had to decide who of two women the mother of a baby was. He was about to cut the baby in half with his sword and the mother cried up whereas the other woman did not react. In the Radiohead song though the sentence has to be taken literally I guess. The song is about divorce and in a perfect divorce in our materialistic society everything has to be shared. Even the kids.

I'm not sure I agree. Both are superb in their own right, and sufficiently different to justify their inclusion on the albums. The Amnesiac version has a really great spacey feel to it, a bit like 'The Tourist' and 'Motion Picture Soundtrack'. ... link ... comment |
