In a city of the future

It is difficult to concentrate

Meet the boss, meet the wife

Everybody's happy

Everyone is made for life

In a city of the future

It is difficult to find a space

I'm too busy to see you

You're too busy to wait

But I'm okay, how are you?

Thanks for asking, thanks for asking

But I'm okay, how are you?

I hope you're okay too

Everyone one of those days

When the sky's California blue

With a beautiful bombshell

I throw myself into my work

I'm too lazy, I've been kidding myself for so long

I'm okay, how are you?

Thanks for asking, thanks for asking

But I'm okay, how are you?

I hope you're okay too

Palo Alto - Radiohead

Released in 2011 as part of the collaborative project The National, 'Palo Alto' features Radiohead's Thom Yorke on vocals and guitar. The track blends indie rock with electronic textures, reflecting the band's evolution into a more collaborative and experimental sound. While often associated with Radiohead's catalog, this recording stands as a distinct contribution to the broader indie rock landscape of the early 2010s. The song's atmospheric production and Yorke's emotive delivery highlight the group's continued exploration of complex song structures and atmospheric soundscapes, distinguishing it from their earlier work on albums like In Rainbows or The Bends.
