RE: Steemit Open Mic Week 60 entry - "Exit Music (For A Film)" - Radiohead cover
Wow, amazing performance. I really enjoyed the Leonardo DiCaprio, Romeo and Juliet movie, but somehow I don’t remember this song. The song is kind of haunting. You have a perfect voice for performing it too. Your voice has a deep, earthy, Johnny Cash feel to it. Great job!
You know, that's really funny that you mentioned Johnny Cash (and thank you, by the way), because I totally forgot to write in my post about how Thom Yorke had been listening to the Folsom Prison album when he wrote this, and was influenced by Cash. That was really surprising and interesting to me, as I've always thought of it as sounding like a futuristic Pink Floyd song.
This song was in the closing credits of the movie, but wasn't on the soundtrack album for some reason. It is on Radiohead's OK Computer album, and they do have another great song that is in Romeo + Juliet called "Talk Show Host".
It was the best closing credits song ever, It also played in an episode of Black Mirror. Love this song.
