Morning bell
Light another candle
Release me
Release me
You can keep the furniture
A bump on the head
Coming down the chimney
Release me
Release me
Yeah..
Release me
Release me
Where'd you park the car?
Where'd you park the car?
Clothes are all over the furniture
And I might as well
I might as well
Sleepy jack the fire drill
Run around around around around around..
Cut the kids in half
Cut the kids in half
Cut the kids in half
Morning Bell/Amnesiac
Released on the 2001 album Amnesiac, Morning Bell/Amnesiac stands as a pivotal track in Radiohead's evolution toward experimental electronic soundscapes. The song features Thom Yorke's distinctive vocal delivery layered over complex, shifting rhythms and atmospheric textures, marking a departure from the band's earlier guitar-driven rock style. Produced by Nigel Godrich, the recording blends ambient noise with precise electronic instrumentation, reflecting the album's themes of memory loss and psychological fragmentation. This work solidified Radiohead's reputation as innovators in alternative rock and art rock, influencing a generation of artists who prioritize texture and mood over traditional song structures. The track remains a defining example of the band's mid-2000s output, showcasing their willingness to deconstruct conventional musical forms while maintaining emotional depth.
