Harry Patch (In Memory Of)

by Radiohead

Harry Patch (In Memory Of) cover art

Composed as a solemn tribute to the last surviving combat soldier of the First World War trenches, this piece completely eschews standard rock instrumentation. Instead, Thom Yorke's delicate falsetto floats over a breathtaking, modernist string arrangement composed entirely by Jonny Greenwood. The digital-only release donated all proceeds to the Royal British Legion.
