A huge fan favourite, but unreleased as yet, the song
is a kind of tribute to James Bond themes in it's sound. It was played frequently
before the release of OK Computer under the title 'Man-O-War'. It was written around
the time of The Bends, but never made it on to that album. The band have tried many
times to record it - including in March 1998 for the soundtrack to the film 'The Avengers',
but they just couldn't get it to sound right (see the Meeting People is Easy video).
Thom speaking on MTV's 120 Minutes (26-April-98) : "We ditched it because we were
so messed up and we went in, tried to do the track, but we just couldn't do it. It
was actually a really difficult period of time. We had a five week break and all the
shit was coming to the surface. It was all a bit wierd - I mean we went in and tried
to do this old track that we had and it just wasn't happening at all. It was a real
low point after it. It was quite an early song, written around the time of The Bends
and it didn't make it on to The Bends. We couldn't find the proper way into it or
whatever."
After a lot of failed attempts
at recording this song, sadly
the band have finally decided
to ditch it, and it will probably
never be recorded. |
