3. Follow Me Around
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vcwy2YDyigA At this point, Follow Me Around feels like a classic despite having never been properly released. If it were to feature on the new album, one of the lyrics might need a bit of a change. Near the end of the song Yorke sings "Did you lie to us, Tony? / We thought you were different / Now we're not so sure" which is likely a reference to Tony Blair. This might need an update before it could be released on a record in 2016. The song's been around for two decades, possibly longer. A lot of fans first heard it in the 1998 tour documentary Meeting People is Easy, a film notorious among fans for showing the band going through a very difficult time coping with sudden fame while also touring and trying to record music. It's possible that recording on Follow Me Around fell apart during this time. Since Meeting People is Easy the song has been played by the band and by Yorke at his solo shows, but no album version has ever materialised. A stripped-back, mostly acoustic album version of Follow Me Around (perhaps in the style of Fake Plastic Trees or Give Up the Ghost) would be an amazing inclusion on LP9.
