Thomas Edward Yorke, dit Thom Yorke, est un musicien auteur-compositeur, chanteur et guitariste britannique, né le 7 octobre 1968 à Wellingborough dans le Northamptonshire. Il est le chanteur et le principal compositeur de Radiohead, groupe fondé au milieu des années 1980 avec ses camarades du lycée d'Abingdon dans l'Oxfordshire, Colin Greenwood, Jonny Greenwood, Ed O'Brien et Phil Selway, devenu, à partir du début de sa carrière discographique en 1992, une des formations de rock les plus importantes et célébrées de son époque.

Outre les neuf albums publiés par Radiohead de 1993 à 2016, Thom Yorke mène d'autres projets parallèles, dont trois albums solo et le supergroupe Atoms For Peace . Il est également très actif dans la lutte pour les droits de l'homme, la défense de l'environnement, et contre les guerres sous toutes leurs formes ainsi que les travers de la société moderne. Ses sensibilités transparaissent dans les textes des chansons du groupe. Wikipedia

Just
Lyrics, The Bends (1995)

“Initially when it came up I tried to be pragmatic. But Blair has no environmental credentials as far as I'm concerned. I came out of that whole period just thinking, I don't want to get involved directly, it's poison. I'll just shout my mouth off from the sidelines.”

“I haven't done enough. I don't have solar panels on my house yet. I haven't sorted out the heating, my car's not a Prius, I f---ing fly all the time for my job and I hate it but at the moment I haven't really got a choice, you know, and all these things. The job I'm in is a job that wastes energy left, right and centre. It's madness.”

Little by Little
Lyrics, The King of Limbs (2011)

“I didn't really come into it expecting to make songs. It started just with random bits and pieces. I guess I thought there would be vocals, but I was thinking in terms of using little vocal shreds, and of making them part of the tapestry, not the main thing. But as soon as we had gone through the initial sketches, it became obvious that they could be quite direct. Nigel basically dragged me kicking and screaming toward the concept of them being actual songs.”

"We Suck Young Blood"
Lyrics, Hail to the Thief (2003)

“It's like a supply and demand thing. It's like 'Well, this is what they want me to do, this is what they want to hear. So I'll do more of this, cuz this is great… and they love me.' Suddenly people start giving you money as well. So then you've got money and you get used to this lifestyle. And you don't wanna take any risks 'cause they've got you by the balls, and you've got all these little things that you've bought, or you're attached to. And you start spending all this money… And that's how they get ya!”

"The Clock"
Lyrics, The Eraser (2006)

“It's basically [about] having to make a decision whether to do nothing or try to engage with it in some way, knowing that it's flawed. It's convenient to project that back on to someone personally and say they're a hypocrite. It's a lot easier to do that than actually do anything else. And yeah, that stresses me out, because I am a hypocrite. As we all are.”
