On the seventh song of her third studio album, Lianne La Havas gracefully covers English rock band Radiohead’s 2007 song “Weird Fishes / Arpeggi.” In fact, during an October 2016 interview with 3FM Gemist, La Havas labelled the song as one of her essential tracks and even called the album it appears...
[Verse 1]
In the deepest ocean
The bottom of the sea
Your eyes
They turn me
Why should I stay here?
Why should I stay?
[Verse 2]
I'd be crazy not to follow
Follow where you lead
Your eyes
They turn me
Turn me on to phantom (Yeah)
I follow to the edge (Yeah)

Oh, yeah, everybody leaves (Yeah)
If they get the chance (Yeah)

Weird fishes
Weird fishes
[Outro]
Yeah, I'll hit the bottom
The bottom and escape, escape
Yeah, hit the bottom
The bottom and escape, escape
Yeah, hit the bottom
The bottom and escape, escape
I'll hit the bottom and escape

I really love that song and I’m a huge Radiohead fan, um, and also I think, maybe In Rainbows is my personal favourite album of theirs. And I remember years ago, with my original band, um, we all worked it out together, and we were like, “Let’s do a cover!” and then we all worked it out in the room...
This song is close to my heart. In the story of the record, the lyrics express perfectly where I was at. it was a test song with my live band to see if we’d work as well in the studio as we do onstage. I’d always wanted to play live in the studio like in the 70s. It was after Glastonbury [2019], I w...
