A heart that's full-up like a landfill
Job slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal
You look so tired, unhappy
Bring down the government
They don't, they don't speak for us
I'll take a quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide

No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises

Silent
Silent
They say this is my final fit
My final bellyache with

No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises, please
Such a pretty house
And such a pretty garden

No alarms and no surprises (get me out of here)
No alarms and no surprises (get me out of here)
No alarms and no surprises (get me out of here), please

Mm

Yet another first for me here at RP. This song, as the saying goes, had me at hello. I don't even need to read the lyrics. Another track of beautiful wistful happiness.

However, reading those lyrics, I'll save comments for another day.

I like Regina Spektor's cover better

The rendering of this song fits the lyric wonderfully. Miserably.

This is such a good song. My dogs could sing it and it would still sound great.

A very tasteful and duly respectful cover, in my opinion.

This song really has been the soundtrack to my life the past year or so...and I'm getting tired of that...

What a lovely intro! 
As the whole cover. Very nice.

It literally took me a 'double take' to confirm that YES! That is GAI's voice. Delighted

I have been a long time listener and enjoy hearing new songs as well as reimagined songs.  However, one thing I don't like listening to are bad covers (like this one).  Unfortunately RP seems to be playing a lot (and I mean a lot!!!) of these now.  Please get back to your original roots RP.

I find this version quite likeable.

I love this new arrangement. 

I don't love the "watery" phase-shifting mix.  

It wreaks havoc on the psychoacoustic model employed by the audio compression algorithms used by every major music service and makes the final results sound awful.  

I had to check this track on two different services, Apple Music and Spotify, in all bit rates, all the way up to lossless.

My first thought after hearing this piece was that both musicians now live relatively close to each other in Colorado.  Makes it easier for them to get into the studio together, when their schedules permit.

I really like this.
For my money, the best covers of Radiohead are on Eliza Lumley's She Talks in Maths album.

A great song, no matter the form, always sounds like a great song.  'Tis true, look it up...

I'm a huge fan of RH and I'm delighted by this cover

I very much like Gregory Alan Isakov and the Lumineers, but this collaboration on a Radiohead song is disappointing -  dull and drippy. 5 at best. I hope the album has better tunes.

Great music can be great in different genres. This is an example of that.
