Heard this on the radio yesterday. Blew me away.

I'm not sure what the original context of the song was, but Yorke's cover appears on a tribute album dedicated to the wife of Mark Mulcahey, who died suddenly from cancer, forcing Mulcahey to quit music in order to care for the couple's twin daughters. When you view the lyrics in the context of grief and loss, imho it's even more amazing.
