You're probably already familiar with the story behind the song, but for those who aren't, Thom Yorke was experiencing burnout while touring and just wanted to be done with it all. In the midst of this crippling existential episode he reached out to Michael Stipe of R.E.M. and Stipe told him to just draw the curtains and repeat this phrase: I'm not here. This isn't happening. This phrase became part of the lyrics to the song. |
I don’t know which version I have, sorry.
Did not the Michael Stipe story. Didn’t even know they were friends.
If I were a rockstar I doubt I’d do the frantic pace touring ****. I’d play a show and then vacation in the same spot for a few days before heading off.
