About This Track
Thom recently talked about “Morning Bell” in an interview:
“It’s very, very violent. Extremely violent. The really weird thing about that was I wrote the song with all the words pretty much straight away, which is basically the only one I did that with. I recorded it onto MiniDisc and then there was a lightning storm, and it wiped the MiniDisc and I lost the song. I completely forgot it. Then five months later, I was on a plane, knackered for 24 hours, I was just falling asleep, and I remembered it. It was really weird, I never had that before. It’s gone in and took a long time to come out again. The lyrics are really… they’re not as dramatic as they sound, you know? Except “Cut the kids in half”, which is dramatic no matter which way you read it.”

305 million scrobbles! So are Radiohead technically the most played artists on last.fm? I'm just glad they have Lady Gaga beat by a long run.

Probably my favorite Radiohead song. It definitely sounds like it's about a divorce, and that's what "Cut the kids in half" means. Or it's about a serial killer, whatever, it's awesome any way you look at it.
