“The Tourist” was written by Jonny, who, explains Thom, was “in a beautiful square in France on a sunny day, and watching all theses American tourists being wheeled around, frantically trying to see everything in 10 minutes.” Jonny was shocked at how these people could be in a place so beautiful and so special and not realize it because they weren’t taking the time to just stop and look around.
Jonny : “Thom didn’t play a thing, he just listened. It’s quite nervy, with a lot of space. It sounds like the last song on an album.”

Such a good closer, I used to think No Surprises should have been the song to do that, but not anymore. It's so powerful at the end.

The first few times I listened to OK Compuer I didnt like this song - I thought it was boring, but now, its actually one of my favourites. It has great lyrics, a powerful chorus, and when the guitar part enters.. you get the idea..

Amazing. Try listening to this after Blur's "This is a low". They suit each other very well.
