Radiohead and Hans Zimmer musical collaboration on new BBC documentary, Blue Planet II, The Prequel
If you can, better results with a large screen and speakers better than we have on most mobile devices.
Description from Rolling Stone:
Radiohead and composer Hans Zimmer revealed their new collaboration, “(Ocean) Bloom,” a reworking of the band’s The King of Limbs opener for the upcoming BBC docuseries, Blue Planet II.
The new “Bloom” strips away the song’s driving bass line and discombobulating percussion, focusing instead on a disparate piano melody, an undercurrent of strings and Thom Yorke’s vocal.
After the slow build, the track unfurls over its final minutes as Zimmer’s lush, cinematic contributions are breathed into “(Ocean) Bloom.” The song was paired with a “prequel” video for Blue Planet II, featuring footage that won’t appear in the seven-part series when it premieres later this year on the BBC.
In a BBC interview revolving around the track, Zimmer and Radiohead’s Yorke and Jonny Greenwood talked about the collaboration, with Yorke revealing that the original Blue Planet series inspired “Bloom.”
“It sort of seeped into my subconscious. I found myself dreaming of these creatures quite a lot,” the singer said. “When we came to do all those weird recordings for The King of Limbs, it must have been in there. It started with Colin [Greenwood’s] bassline and ‘Open your mouth wide.’”
Zimmer added, “In a funny way, I was trying to be respectful and not ruin the song, if you know what I mean. If somebody hands you somebody else’s work, there’s responsibility and respect that comes with it.”
Yorke also explained why Radiohead became involved in the project. “The fact that this TV series is coming out at this moment, I hope rekindles our love of the oceans and our desire to understanding, really, our relationship to them,” Yorke said. “Like, ‘This is bigger than you. This is bigger than you.’”
“I interviewed a woman who is terminally ill. “So,” I tried to delicately ask, “What is it like to wake up every morning and know that you are dying?” “Well,” she responded, “What is it like to wake up every morning and pretend that you are not?”.”

“Contact with [menstrual blood] turns new wine sour, crops touched by it become barren, grafts die, seed in gardens are dried up, the fruit of trees fall off, the edge of steel and the gleam of ivory are dulled, hives of bees die, even bronze and iron are at once seized by rust, and a horrible smell fills the air; to taste it drives dogs mad and infects their bites with an incurable poison.”

You don’t have to be better than you are to make things
You don’t have to be better than you are to make things.
The things you make do not have to be perfect, and neither do you.
It’s ok to make flawed things. It’s ok to make mistakes.
Everything you make will be flawed. Everything everyone makes is flawed.
No matter how good someone is, what they create will be imperfect. If you wait until you’re capable of making a perfect thing, you’ll never make anything.
You do not need to be the best in order for it to be ok to make things. You don’t even have to be impressive.
It’s ok to make things even though other people make better things. It’s ok to make things, even if other people know more than you do.
It’s also ok to make things even if you’re not sure the things you’re making are any good at all.
It’s ok not to know everything. It’s ok to make mistakes. It’s ok to make things that aren’t good enough.
Everyone who makes things, has made things that weren’t good enough, and will continue to do so. Everyone who is skilled started out unskilled. Nobody starts out as the best.
It’s ok to make things, even if you are the worst, even if you are the least skilled, and even if you make a lot of mistakes that others wouldn’t.
You don’t have to be the best in order to make things. You just have to make things.
You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to be better than you are. You can make things as you are, with the skills and knowledge you already have.
You don’t have to be a professional or an expert in order to make things. You don’t have to have years of experience making things in order to make things.
You don’t have to wait to be better, or to know more, or to hold off on making things until you’re capable of making better things. You can make the things you’re already capable of making.
No matter who you are or what your skill level is, you’re good enough to make things.
You can make the things you’re already capable of making, and you can keep learning.
If you wait until you’re capable of making a perfect thing, you’ll never make anything.
