At just 1'44" in length, this is Radiohead's shortest recorded track, finished in a single take in 1994. It was recorded at a fruit farm with the help of producer Jim Warren, and halfway through the song drummer Phil Selway audibly downs his drumsticks and walks out, thinking the track was a rehearsal. It's a lovely track nevertheless, with Thom Yorke's voice accompanied solely by simple, lilting guitar arpeggios.
