The band (20 years later) about the drug reference in this song to Spin Magazine in 2013: "Michael Plen, the label’s head of rock radio and a longtime Camper and Cracker supporter, made me write a letter about that to pass out to radio stations. It was practically an affidavit, swearing that the phrase was actually “being stone” — not “stoned.” True story. It was like, “I don’t believe you and neither will anyone else, but there needs to be deniability and this is what we’re gonna say.” It was like pretending there was no paper trail, where a lawyer goes, “Hey, call me on my cell.” | bit.ly

According to Rolling Stone, the vocals for this song off of R.E.M's seventh album 'Out of Time' was semi-improvised, and done in one take from Michael Stipe: "He had some rough notes on a piece of paper, but his state-of-the-union address flowed out of him. For example, he had no idea that he would be repeating the words “it’s crazy what you could have had” as many times as he did. After that lone take, Berry said, “You know what, guys? I think this song is finished. We don’t need to re-record this one.” | bit.ly

From the Brighton band about this new song: ""Two Sense” is the coming together of a shared energy between the four of us that says, put the art first, stand up for your own vision and right to self determination, cut lose from dogmatic thinking, and make some short term sacrifices to stay true to who you are. We are really proud of the song and the EP to follow. The time we decided to record the EP was the time we realised we had something to say with our music, we hope it resonates!" | www.thyla.co.uk

Thom Yorke recalling how he told the brass musicians to play on this track to Juice Magazine in 2000: "On the day I said to them, 'You know when you've been in a traffic jam for four hours and if someone says the wrong thing to you, you'll just kill 'em, you'll f*cking snap and probably throttle them? You're like this -" he holds a palm millimetres from his face - "with everybody and any tiny spark and you're going to go off, and you're in the midst of two or three hundred other people who are in exactly the same thing. I wanted them to play like that..."
