Yorke, Thom - Dawn Chorus Lyrics






Back up the cul-de-sac
Come on, do your worst
You quit your job again
And your train of thought
If you could do it all again
A little fairy dust
A thousand tiny birds singing
If you must, you must
Please let me know
When you've had enough
Of the white light
Of the dawn chorus
If you could do it all again
You don't know how much
Pronto pronto
Moshi mosh
Come on, chop chop
If you could do it all again
Yeah, without a second thought
I don't like leaving
The door shut
I think I missed something
But I'm not sure what
In the middle of the vortex
The wind picked up
Shook up the soot
From the chimney pot
Into spiral patterns
Of you, my love
You take a little piece
Then you break it off
It's a bloody racket
It's the dawn chorus
If you could do it all again
Big deal, so what?
Please let me know
When you've had enough
It's the last chance
O.K. Corral
If you could do it all again
This time with style

Yorke, Thom Dawn Chorus Comments
  1. J.... F....

    I think I'm a heartless, pragmatic person uninterested with introversion and largely unaffected by 'silly' feelings like despair, sadness, and regret. And yet this song, which I can make no clear sense of other than maybe appealing to these feelings in a melodic sense(?), seems to affect me deeply. Thom Yorke apparently 'gets me' better than I do myself - thanks man (for what it's worth)!

  2. B.... G....

    Sings like an angel, looks like a dirty pirate.

  3. C.... L....

    Je laisse aller...me laisse inhaler...les temps sont durs pour les rêveurs...🙏

  4. N.... H....

    If you could do it all again
    Yeah, without a second thought
    I don't like leaving
    The door shut
    I think I missed something
    But I'm not sure what...
    It is 04:20 in the morning... and I’m working in the studio...listening to this hauntingly beautiful and aching song, waiting for dawn to creep outside the window...
    Full of gratitude for having Tom York in our world...

  5. J.... D....

    Gracias...

  6. C.... ....

    Made me cry

  7. V.... F....

    Hoy vengo a decirte Thom que quiero hacerlo de nuevo .... Pronto pronto y no perder más tiempo

  8. R.... M....

    Increíble lo de Thom Yorke, increíble lo que hace ...

  9. S.... P....

    Siempre te vi de una belleza tan profunda y extraña como de otro mundo como tus letras algo que sólo hacen las cosas más verdaderas y eternas las que no se pueden explicar con palabras.Gracias

  10. N.... V....

    um abraço de alma!

  11. y.... v....

    Con el crecí musicalmente, he compartido momentos increibles,en vivo es otro mundo otro sentir q te hace mover todas esas sensaciones, al grado de llorar🥰🇲🇽👍🎶

  12. y.... ....

    Simply amazing! Mesmerized by Mr.Yorke , singing exactly what I am not able to express right now, myself . Thank you and God bless!

  13. M.... M....

    beautiful song filled with universal law of infinite INNERGY.

  14. S.... E....

    Gracias por tomarte la molestia de poner subtítulos

  15. B.... C....

    Where is this version from? Beautiful..

  16. P.... N....

    i wish i could do it all over again, i don't even remember not feeling like this.

  17. W.... R....

    Je l'écoute en boucle en ce moment... On est plus que jamais dans l’univers de Thom Yorke. Le film complet de 15 minutes en exclus sur "NtFlx", un vrai chef d'oeuvre. Merci, Merci, Merci...

  18. R.... ....

    god this is so depressing once again another weekend in isolation with nothing but me and the music and nobody to share it i guess thats the worst part i wish i could share it with someone

    R.... ....

    You can, go outside and connect with someone. Don't hold your thoughts in, share them with someone. little steps. Dark times come and go, keep strong!

    R.... ....

    RegularDude I'm the exact same, my social anxiety really cripples me from talking to people and I have a hard time trusting other people too, stay strong hopefully things will get better

  19. L.... S....

    UNBELIEVABLE!

  20. f.... ....

    I know a lot of people don’t wanna hear this but I felt this way, gave up, tried to hang my self twice and didn’t succeed , realized I must have cared enough not to end it and re evaluated my life, it could always be a lot worse and A lot better so see the positive no matter what , I was an alcoholic and didn’t care about anything so I know it’s hard, but at least know I love every being who’s struggling and you will make it through! Everything’s temporary, cherish the moments that are amazing and don’t let the bad sit long in your memory, wash it out. I love you all and hope you prosper and are ecstatic for life!!!!!

    f.... ....

    Thank you fkelly2015..needed to read this today

    f.... ....

    @MM M. Your very welcome my friend!

    f.... ....

    fkelly2015 well done on getting through the tough times. Good blessings for your journey. We are only here once. So much beauty. So much wonder. If we could all just look deep inside ourselves and love what / who we are - we can love everything / everyone else.

    f.... ....

    Kirsty D thank you Kirsty for loving words, I pray your path in life is blessed. MUCH LOVE!!!

  21. C.... ....

    From ANIMA I like this track most 🎧🎶

  22. A.... ....

    Che incanto.

  23. w.... l....

    what a sublime piece of music

  24. m.... b....

    Deberia sentirme patetico por el impacto que produce en mi la frase "if you could do it all again"? recordando algo que ya pasó hace ya 3 años. Mezclas serenas de nostalgia.

  25. V.... V....

    I was driving alone ,home ab 2 in night..when i heard this ... first time was on radio...no lyrics..version..
    Trippie piano...
    Think here is the case when lyrics ruin the vibrational of piano....

  26. P.... I....

    Finally!! A song that I can Karaoke flawlessly!!

  27. V.... L....

    Como traductora, te felicito por tu traducción. Muy bien lograda

  28. J.... A....

    This just might be my favourite song of the 2010s.
    I don't know why but there's something to this song that just makes it beautiful, the lyrics, the piano, everything about this song just touches me. Thank you Tom, for this is quite possibly my favourite song by you.

  29. j.... 5....

    Esto me recuerda a un viaje que tuve con alguien estuvimos hablando por 12 horas juntos sin aburrirnos creo que ese era mi lugar mi donde estar, mi todo.... la perdí hace unos meses no logró ser feliz supongo que no lograré esa felicidad absoluta nunca más preferiría estar muerto que seguir soñando todas las noches con ella que volvió y al despertar saber que nunca volverá a ocurrir.....

    j.... 5....

    Cuéntame... Me interesa tu historia

    j.... 5....

    @Ren Bennington fue hace unos meses 2 años de relación lo mejor del mundo y yo lo arruine y ella cambio no pude hacer nada y me engaño a finales de febrero hasta la fecha Nose a donde ir.... estoy perdido

    j.... 5....

    @jonatin 548 :3 cuenta mas

  30. j.... p....

    For anyone interested, my most recent upload (an ode to my favorite films put up about a month ago) features this song. Hope you beautiful folks enjoy

    j.... p....

    it was really nice.

    j.... p....

    @marlon burbano thanks a lot. I appreciate that

  31. E.... M....

    Hermosa pieza poniendo en descubrimiento el envejecimiento de tu dolor ajeno hacia aquellas personas solitarias de pensamiento

  32. I.... W....

    beautiful

  33. S.... G....

    Love you Thom 🖤

  34. C.... ....

    Makes me think of relationships after the honeymoon phase. You see the worst of the person you are with but also the good. It spirals into a tug of war of sorts. A bunch of screw ups, but also moments of pure affection. Where does it lead? Where will you two go? Will you two ever learn to love yourselves and each other in harmony?

    Its a realistic, bitter but sweet song about the struggles and the joys of relationships and how scary they can be.


    To me anyway.

    C.... ....

    I get that with this song as well. I had a rocky relationship with someone earlier this year and it didn't work in the end because we had different pathways. There were great moments of bonding, but there was also lack of communication and immediate unpleasant thoughts. It reminds me of all those moments, good and bad, and the overall beauty of our doomed relationship. There's no animosity between us though, and like the end of the song with the birds chirping, its a new day and we never know where it'll take us. :)

  35. G.... ....

    Fabulous track, love it.

  36. C.... B....

    fuck I just get teary eyed from "If you could do it all again"

  37. M.... P....

    Beautiful........ beautiful my man.

  38. D.... C....

    Love you all. Hope the best of life to all of you.

    D.... C....

    Thank you and God bless you...

    D.... C....

    Thanks Dennis ...i Wish you the same

  39. e.... ....

    Once again Thom Yorke takes from Boards of Canada.

  40. c.... ....

    i want to see the video without the lyrics

  41. O.... s....

    The face of thom is my face right now

  42. O.... s....

    In others time, in others places, i will give you anything, And nothing more, this time for myself, this time with style.

  43. J.... M....

    Hopefully he doesn't stop making music.
    Solo r with all his band members.
    This guy is a genius musically.
    He's probably got more great music in the coming future.
    N we all fans will never be disappointed of what he he comes of with.
    I'm very sure of that.
    Thank you.. Thom

  44. M.... C....

    El mejor tema del disco.

  45. f.... 9....

    Saben hoy me levante, fui a buscar a mi mamá le dije adiós aunque estuviera durmiendo, le di un beso a mi hija en la frente, reze por su madre, subí al colectivo salude al chófer, le di el asiento a una mujer embarazada aunque estuviese en el fondo del transporte (1hs de viaje) , mientras canimaba por la peatonal agarre mi billetera y le fui dejando $50ARS a las personas que están desde temprano pidiendo dinero y haciendo música, llegué a mi trabajo estaba nervioso porque quería hacer algo especial... Tuve la suerte que justo esa persona estaba y la invite a cenar (aceptó y terminamos saliendo esa misma tarde) , me puse más nervioso porque quería hacer algo en ese momento *Renunciar*=Renuncie al terminar la jornada, porque no aguantaba más ese hambiente laboral. Volviendo a casa fui a ver a mi abuela me dijo que me veía raro, la abrase fuerte le dije que todo estaba bien, agarre una hoja y empeze dibujar un árbol de nueces, fui a buscar mi antigua guitarra, microfono, amplificador, empeze a cantar hasta que me agarro un nudo en la garganta, me senté, fui a tomar un té de manzanilla, estuve todo el resto de la noche jugando con mi reina hasta que se durmio, no pensé en lo que había ocurrido y me dormí sin darme cuenta porque... porque no puedo volver a hacer lo mismo.. que si pudiera lo haria.
    El resto se lo dejo al tiempo, mi reacción y el momento.

    f.... 9....

    Esta canción me movió muy gacho antes era una persona muy callada y me quede con las ganas de hablarle a esa persona que sentía cosas hermosas 0 pensamientos sexuales sino amor puro 2008 el ultimo día que la vi ahora tiene 3 años que la volví a ver en el face cambio demasiado muy tarde me di cuenta que si hubiera atrevido hacer algo en el 2008 no estaría sufriendo ahora por amor lastima demasiado tarde para mi llega esta letra reflexión a los que aún están más jóvenes reflexionen No todo en esta vida son cosas materiales interés dinero vicios sexualidad sino que buscar tu vida tu amor tu paz rayos no puedo más .....

    f.... 9....

    La letra habla sobre la (im)posibilidad de volver al pasado para recuperar una oportunidad perdida: “si pudieras hacerlo todo otra vez / sí, sin pensarlo dos veces / no me gusta dejar la puerta cerrada / creo que me perdí algo / pero no estoy seguro de qué”. La canción presenta un sutil crescendo marca de la casa que culmina con el texto: “si pudieras hacerlo todo otra vez / esta vez con estilo”.

    f.... 9....

    Me encantó tu comentario. Solo me gustaría dejar una pequeña frase: "Hemos perdido y perdería un millón de veces más, porque yo creo que no se vive para ganar, se vive para perseguir tu conciencia" (Eduardo Galeano)

    f.... 9....

    Feliz 2020 uno de los pocos comentarios donde no aparece alguien toxico, al contrario muy buenas vibras de parte de todos, vivan la vida que quieran manejar, las frustraciónes vienen hasta en los mejores momentos cuando ya sabemos tener auto control y respeto hacia uno mismo la paz mental es mas plena. Exitos

    f.... 9....

    La verdad es por eso que me gusta la canción me identifica por que la verdad quisiera volver al pasado y cambiar las cosas y todo otra vez pero con un mejor estilo. La primera canción con la letra que me identifica de hace años que llevo en mente
    Es como cuando debí aver hablado a esa chica ese momento pero luego me arrepiento y desearía volver al pasado y no aver perdido esa oportunidad

  46. f.... 9....

    Buen trabajo Thom, despabilado, animado, alegre, espiritual ser humano. Disfruta de tu paz y muestranos la pureza de crecer, de arrepentirnos de vivir otra vez.

  47. J.... p....

    La belleza de la tristeza.

  48. m.... ....

    Ok, Radiohead is one of my favorite bands and I do think Thom Yorke is a genius. But, let's face it, this song is pretty boring.

  49. f.... ....

    one of his most beautiful pieces

  50. m.... ....

    I would like to hear Danny Carey in the background.

  51. L.... B....

    Happy Birthday Thom

  52. R.... M....

    Amo escucharte thom, sos grandioso

  53. J.... ....

    Can I live inside this song?

  54. M.... ....

    What a masterpiece! I found it here on Youtube yesterday accidentally and just can't stop listening... Must have hit that replay button a hundred times....
    The video is great too, thanks so much bro!

  55. m.... ....

    Por mucho que lo piensas, por más vueltas y vueltas que le das, al final siempre vuelves a caer

  56. T.... ....

    With this song i only can think on my grandma, that has passed away on this month, i just feel empty, soulless, with the only willing to have a second chanse to spend more time with the love of my soul, the woman who raised me and made me the man that i am to this day. I miss her so much, i just can't be brave enough to live a whole life without her... "If you could do it all again... Yeah without a second thought..." If u ever hear me again, i love you with all my heart, Maria, my mom, my friend, my everything until my last breath on this earth..

    T.... ....

    Trust me it gets better; please seek grief counseling, I didn' t when my mum died, big mistake; but luckily did when my Dad passed, and I felt so much better for it. Grief is so uncontrollable, so don't be hard on yourself.

  57. Z.... Z....

    hermosisima 😍😥

  58. S.... W....

    I heard this live last night. It was very stirring, a few people around me were sniffing noses and dropping tears to Thom's singing.

  59. Z.... L....

    Only just realized OK Corral is a place😂 thanks for the good quality audio! Recommend fans to listen to Thom’s Dessert island discs interview (aired a few days ago)

  60. L.... K....

    Extraordinary 🌅 Like Life sometimes, profoundly sad and moving 🙏

  61. C.... R....

    Literally the best thing I can say about this entire project is just wow....

  62. 7.... ....

    Thom Never Stops Evolving - I for my part, truly appreciate him.

  63. P.... Y....

    But he's not singing though!! I need to hear those lovely vocals, not just reciting words, come on Thom!!!

  64. T.... ....

    Where is this song from? Is it a B-side????

    T.... ....

    LP Anima [2019]

  65. J.... K....

    hauntingly beautiful.....that piano reaches right into my soul.

  66. J.... B....

    like a glass on the side

  67. s.... w....

    It's seems to me I watched and listened to this video many years ago. I even remember someone calling the video on tv saying " now with style" Weird...

  68. H.... R....

    wow this is beautiful x just fantastic x

  69. U.... ....

    Honestly the song sounds great on the album but the piano on this version is so unbelievably beautiful

  70. R.... B....

    I love this too much.

  71. R.... W....

    Beautiful Song
    Mr. Yorke.

  72. c.... z....

    Es un adiós

  73. A.... ....

    Tu canal es el único con traducciones que calzan tan bien con la intencionalidad de las obras en cuestión. Muy grande. Gracias por toda tu dedicación :)

  74. B.... E....

    Wow 😮

  75. E.... R....

    This songs kills me a little bit everytime i hear it.

  76. A.... A....

    lokito cuando vienes a SFM,RD?

  77. R.... ....

    Yo amo thom yorke pero si lo miras en 1.75x de velocidad suena a basura

  78. O.... M....

    Hey great video. One thing though. It's not Moshi Moshi, it's mushy mush. It is a British colloquialism meaning hurry up. Borrowed from dogsledding. Just like saying to do something "pronto" and the phrase "chop chop". It fits much better than the Japanese phrase for hello.

    O.... M....

    @Paul Oneill it is mushy mush. Also Epstein didn't kill himself.

    O.... M....

    it's Yoshi? oh, Si! Don't be a fool.

    O.... M....

    In Italy "Pronto pronto" is what you say when someone phones you. I've read that "Moshi moshi" has the same meaning in Japan...

    O.... M....

    Just to clear up any confusion here, the lyrics are Moshi Mosh. It's listed as such on the inside sleeve of the Anima vinyl! P.S - the way he's using the word pronto here, isn't how we'd traditionally use it, it's actually the Italian equivalent of saying Moshi Moshi on the phone! Likely he knows it from his partner who's Italian :)

    O.... M....

    Pronto y corral esta en español SPANISH 👍

  79. S.... S....

    JUST ON ANOTHER LEVEL ..........too the rest of the World..............Just have to keep on looking for the GRAIL LIFT👍🇬🇧🎬❤️

  80. C.... C....

    Si pudiera hacer todo otra vez. Esas son las palabras qué más rompen y condenan al hombre.

  81. j.... v....

    Merci pour ce partage !!!!

  82. Y.... A....

    Creo q se me rompió algo dentro

  83. f.... ....

    It’s my birthday what ever that means, I just don’t care , gotta work in 6 hours, doesn’t amount to anything to me, some give me some guidance, I really don’t care to be honest , same shit that doesn’t amount to anything in my life, I just don’t know

    f.... ....

    Happy late birthday. I hope you found something you care about. :)

  84. C.... A....

    Just.. Wow.

  87. h.... m....

    It makes me cry and I just cry. Beautifully made, thank you.

  88. d.... c....

    In this song, it feels as if thom Yorke wanted to stop singing and write melodies, but there is something inside it that does not allow it, this song may be the second part of motion picture picture soundtrack.
    Sincerely a music genius : Thom yorke

  89. N.... W....

    And I am sorry you always see me in weird situations - in university parks screaming at my father's daughter when you were just walking along chilling out, or the R&C in N Parade which I NEVER go to but had the volition to go to that evening when you were there with everyone that cares for you I just decided to go there that evening and don't know why. Just stuff hey that is life but thanks for I promise brought back and Lift - I got it. And yeah that is life -so much weirdness - good and bad. lol

  90. N.... W....

    I understand completely.

  91. N.... W....
