Street Spirit

Street Spirit (Fade Out) touches on the inescapable darkness within the human soul. It was inspired by a sense of despair, yet also carries an air of beauty and acceptance. Thom Yorke has mentioned that it was influenced by Ben Okris The Famished Road and stands as one of Radioheads most seminal tracks, reflecting themes of hopelessness and submission, yet also of transcendence and release.
