RADIOHEAD / Rain Down (un-released) (Meeting People Is Easy 1:14:29) transcribed by Joey Gallagher (joeygallagher@hotmail.com) This song is just a short peice heard on Meeting People Is Easy when Thom is soundchecking in Japan. I have never heard of this song mentioned by the band so it might just be a short peice Thom put together to help warm his voice up before a show. It sounds similar to the "Rain Down" segment from Paranoid Android because the only lyric he sings is rain down at the begining (there the similarities end, this peice is totally different). Then he hums through a lot of beautiful octave scales. It could end up being a segment of some future song. This is an amazing peice and it really showcases Thom's vocal range. The song starts off with a picking pattern and then gradually starts to incorporate strums. I tabbed out the picking parts so repeat the same pattern basically on every chord. After about the 5th chord just start half strumming and picking, then you have the basic idea of how the peice progresses. Every chord is played for one measure except the second chord of the song (the G#) it's held for 4 measures.
