THE TOURIST (5:25)
available on: ok computer

notes: Written by Jonny Greenwood: "I was amazed that the others made it come on the album so easily. The only things we argue about as a band are the songs appearing on the setlist and the songs on to appear on the album. Our b-sides are often songs which are chosen for the album by two or three people, but rejected by the others. The tourist sounds relaxed and spatial. In most of the songs there are three or four things happening at the same time. Maybe they wanted to end the album with a song in which very little happens. To me the Tourist is a song about speed. About the amount of speed you live your life with. But also about other things, about how you communicating with people. The tourist is the last song on the album, but that doesn't mean it offers a solution or concludes something. It has something cold en distant, but I like that".
