Left-Behind....Radiohead '15 Steps'



'15 Steps' is a song that was from Radiohead's seventh studio Album, Produced by Nigel Godrich. On the opening track, the band enlisted the help of a group of children from the Matrix Music School & Arts Centre in Oxford. Colin Greenwood and Godrich originally set out to record hand claps for the song, but when the clapping proved "not quite good enough", they decided to record the children cheering instead...."15 Step" was written in the rarely used 5/4 time signature (Hence why it seems so hard to catch it to the normal ear). The most well-known example of a song written in a 5/4 meter is "Take Five" by The Dave Brubeck Quartet...

This song is like a Roller coaster horror ride, that you just can't get enough of. Not knowing whats going to happen or when its going to happen it the thrill of the song along with the rawness of the performance the nonchalantness of lead singer Thom Yorke's vocals, this came together as a true masterpiece...

  31. It is very difficult to write a song on the 5/4 time sig very difficult only true talented songwriters can do that.Not the so called "best in the world"
