Desert Island Disk Lyrics
Now as I go upon my way
So let me go upon my way
Born of a light, born of a light
The wind rushing 'round my open heart
An open ravine with my spirit wide
Totally alive and my spirit light
Through an open doorway
Across a street to another life
And catching my reflection
In a window, switching on a light
One I didn't know, totally alive, totally released
[Verse 2]
Waking, waking up from shutdown
From a thousand years of sleep
Yeah, you, you know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean
Standing on the edge of
You, you know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean
[Outro]
Different types of love
Different types of love
Different types of love
Are possible
Are possible
Are possible
Are possible
About
The title of this song is a play on the classic BBC Radio 4 talk show programme Desert Island Discs, where celebrities must name eight recordings (usually songs) that they would take away with them on a desert island. Interestingly, Radiohead songs have appeared on a number of lists. Now former British Prime Minister David Cameron named “Fake Plastic Trees” as one of his tracks, and comedian David Mitchell chose the much maligned breakthrough hit “Creep” from Radiohead’s debut album Pablo Honey.
Yorke performed this song at the Pathway to Paris Conference on December 4th 2015 along with a song called “Silent Spring” which became “The Numbers.”
