New Video From Thom Yorke

by Meg Ruddick

This latest video from Thom Yorke is for his cover of "All For The Best," written by Mark Mulcahy, front man for late-eighties/early-nineties bands Miracle Legion and Polaris. The song is from the upcoming benefit album, Ciao My Shining Star: The Songs of Mark Mulcahy, which is dedicated to Mulcahy's wife. She died suddenly last year, and the proceeds will go to Mark as he supports his two young children. The album, available on September 29th, also features covers by The National, Dinosaur Jr., and Michael Stipe.

It's a beautifully dreamy video directed by Melinda Tupling, telling the story of a man and woman as they stumble through changing landscapes, city streets, catacombs, forests, and mysterious fields. Yorke's brother, Andy, sings harmony on the track. His band, Unbelievable Truth, also do a cover on Shining Star.
