BANANA OF THE DAY: Thom Yorke "Black Swan"

A mainstream banana for a change :) I decided not to write about Thom's whole album, because I have to listen it a couple of times more before forming my opinion. But "Black Swan" is a song I've listened to at least twenty times during the last 24 hours. It's not strinkingly innovative at all (sounds like Radiohead's "Pyramid Song" in a way, but it's more minimalistic), but there's something catchy I like about it. He sounds kind of calm and resigned, especially reckoning with rather depressed lyrics (just listen to him saying "and it's fucked up, fucked up"). Not appropriate for someone in a good mood, it might count against it.
Youtube provides us with a video of someone drawing while listening to this song ---

Nice beat.
You know, without paying attention to the lyrics it's not that depressive, it sounds kind of calmingly joyful.
I haven't had the chance to listen to the entire album, but I like this song.
