Radiohead - "Harry Patch" (In Memory Of)

Radiohead has offered up a new track here that is devoted to the last surviving soldier of WWI: Harry Patch who recently passed away (111 years old). The song is merely Thom singing over an amazing string arrangement (no doubt setup by Greenwood who now moonlights as a composer (he scored There Will Be Blood)). The mood of the song is obviously very somber as it is Thom singing (beautifully) about the passing of a true hero. What else would you expect?
