High and Dry (Radiohead) - Live acoustic cover

A live performance with the usual scrappy guitar playing and vocal :)

  • Hi Richard,
    This recording is awesome!
    The video angle is so perfect, you look like a rock star!
    The guitar playing is no scrappy at all, and the vocals has the right amount of effects on it.
    I am not familiar with this song, and glad to have this song from you!!!
    Thanks for this beauty!

  • My god ! You took me by surprise! I was planning to cover this song too ! Nevermind...
    The jump between full voice and falsetto is difficult on this track, you did great. I like the nonchalant singing on the verses. Really nice to see you venture out of your comfort zone !

    Thanks for listening and commenting Rene, I always appreciate the way you take the time to listen to everyone's contributions here :)

    The original is from Radiohead's second album, The Bends, which is a really awesome album all the way through and one of the best albums of the 90s. Sadly I can't really do it justice because Thom Yorke is a really outstanding singer and I can't match his vocal performance:

    You should still definitely do your version! I'd love to hear it so please do :) I'm sure you'll get the vocal much closer to the original.

    The G# in the chorus was really hard for me. I learnt the song about 6 months ago and I had to spend a few weeks just playing that note high up on the 16th fret and singing it back, over and over, until the note was seared in my mind. Even then I still can't sing it anything like the way Thom Yorke sings it.

    (edited cos the note is obviously G# duh)

    The B# in the chorus was really hard for me.

    I think it is great you're working like this to extend your vocal range and develop new muscle memory. It is important to do this as untrained voice inevitably decay with aging. Keep working like this, this will bring new thing to your own songs !
    I'll definitely record this one of these days. I am using an interesting open tuning (BEBEBE) which sounds great on almost every song I throw at it. This song especially.

  • Excellent cover! The vocal style and guitar playing fits this song perfectly!

  • I’ve always loved this song. You’re correct, The Bends is a very special album. Now I discover on top of everything else you do around here you’re a rock star as well. ⭐️😎

  • Nice one! Always loved this song. The Bends was a great album. Well done for taking the challenge and going for those high notes, not easy I bet! A really nice cover of a special song. 👍

    Thanks! It is indeed a special song. I remember years ago watching a documentary about Peter Doherty and in the closing shot he was singing along to this in the back of a car with his girlfriend, and you could tell from the way they are singing along that they really love the song:
