About This Track

“High and Dry” is a song by the English alternative rock band Radiohead, and was the first single released from their second album, The Bends (1995). It was as a double A-side with album opener “Planet Telex”. “High and Dry” was released in the UK on 5 March 1995 and remains one of the band’s most popular radio hits, despite reaching only #17 upon release.

“High and Dry” was recorded during the Pablo Honey sessions but was dismissed by the band, who thought that it sounded like a Rod Stewart song. However, during the sessions for The Bends it was rediscovered and remastered, as it was felt that it worked well with the rest of the album’s content. The version that appears on the album is the original demo; it was never re-recorded.

The song is widely regarded as Radiohead’s most accessible pop hit, and was a live favourite, though it has not been performed in a decade.

    Beautiful song! I love David Cook's cover of it....his cover is what helped me discover Radiohead's original of it.

    "Thom Yorke despises this song," - Yeah sure. That's why they performed it on Letterman etc... Don't believe the hype!

    Which Coldplay song is the rip-off from this? They each have their own distinct sound as far as I can tell. I love both bands, but Radiohead is more radical.

    If they didn't made this, Colplay never existed. Thank you Radiohead!

    Thom Yorke despises this song, he was pressured into putting this into The Bends and Coldplay ripped off from Radiohead off this song. Still a great song. Thom's highs=heaven.
