A standout from Radiohead’s 1995 album The Bends, this melancholic tune drifts on a gentle melody that belies its heartache. “High and Dry” showcases the band’s pop songwriting chops early on. It became a beloved radio hit, even as Radiohead’s sound evolved away from the song’s simple, wistful beauty. With its yearning lyrics and soaring chorus, the song still tugs at the heartstrings, a bittersweet reminder of ’90s alt-rock’s softer side.
