A
favorite of Thom's, he expected
it to appear on OK Computer,
but unfortunately the band decided
not to include it. The song
has been played on a few occasions
on the OK Computer tour, often
as a powerful encore with just
his voice and an acoustic guitar.
If the future of funerals has
a sound, this is it. In it's
organ driven glory, "MPS"
is actually one of the more
put together songs and optimistic
songs on the album (despite
the funeral reference). This
is actually the song that you
hear when you're going up to
Heaven and arriving at the Pearly
Gates. The cascading harp ending
pretty much backs up this theory.
