A
favorite of Thom's, he expected it to appear on OK Computer, but unfortunately
the band decided not to include it. The song has been played on a
few occasions on the OK Computer tour, often as a powerful encore
with just his voice and an acoustic guitar.
If
the future of funerals has a sound, this is it. In it's organ driven
glory, "MPS" is actually one of the more put together
songs and optimistic songs on the album (despite the funeral reference).
This is actually the song that you hear when you're going up to
Heaven and arriving at the Pearly Gates. The cascading harp ending
pretty much backs up this theory.
