"Well originally Thom recorded the sound by himself just using an old pedal organ, I suppose influenced by Tom Waits and that kind of singer song writer. And I just imagined it having harps and double basses. So late one night we tried to do a version - tried to disguise the fact we don’t have any harps and we are cutting up all these samples and make it all fit together. I love the sound of harps, the atmosphere we were trying to get was one of Disney films of the 50s where the colour fades slightly. I think one of the regular introductions included the fairy spinning around - a Blue Jay - and the sparks coming from behind. It was all a bit faded and watery - that was the kind of music we wanted to copy."

"Yorke first picked up a guitar when he was 7. He simply walked up to his music teacher and said he wanted to learn. ‘When I heard Queen for the first time, I went straight into school and told her, ‘I want to be Brian May. I’m going to be a rock star.’ She went, ‘Of course you are, dear.’ ’ When he was a teenager, frustrated and unhappy in his new, tony school, he would draw pictures of how his future band would look — where the instruments would be onstage, what they would look like. It would be a four-piece.
So what happened to your vision?
‘I met Colin.’"
