"There There", stylised as "There there." on the CD single art, is a song by the English rock band Radiohead, featured on their album Hail to the Thief (2003) and released prior to the album as its first single. "There There" reached number four in the UK Singles Chart and number one in Canada. It also received moderate airplay from US modern rock stations peaking at number fourteen on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart and was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance, making it the band's most successful single on the radio since "Optimistic" in 2000. On Hail to the Thief the song, like others, is given a subtitle: "The Boney King of Nowhere".
Like many Radiohead songs of the 2000s, "There There" is described by the band as heavily indebted to the band Can, whose songs Radiohead have also covered. The track made lead singer Thom Yorke burst into tears when he heard it in its completed state for the first time. Live performances of "There There" usually begin with Phil Selway, Jonny Greenwood and Ed O'Brien on drums. The song has frequently been a concert opener since 2002, when it made its official debut as part of a tour of Portugal and Spain. A rough version of the song was premiered live during an Internet webcast by Radiohead in early February 2000; a demo of a more complete, but still early arrangement of the song appeared as a b-side in 2003 on the single "2 + 2 = 5". The song has also been performed solo on acoustic guitar by Thom Yorke on several occasions, beginning at Neil Young's Bridge School Benefit in October 2002. This single has been released with the Copy Control protection system in some regions.
There There is the second studio album by Australian singer-songwriter Megan Washington, the first crediting her full name. It was released in Australia on 12 September 2014. The album peaked at #5 on the Australian ARIA charts.
Background
In August 2011, a year after the release of I Believe You Liar, Washington uprooted to Brooklyn, following her dream to live in New York.
“I was dreadfully unhappy there. But having said that, I would have been dreadfully unhappy wherever I was,” she says. “It was the result of a perfect storm of circumstances. I was just partying a lot and drinking a lot and going out and doing stuff. There was just no meaning. I couldn’t find meaning in anything I was doing.” As a result, Washington moved back to Australia.
In early 2013, having spent much of the previous year in Australia mentoring on The Voice and filming The Boy Castaways, Washington decamped to London to work with Samuel Dixon. Washing said she had a clear vision for the record “My plan was to create this late-60s, early-70s, gold lame Shirley Bassey sound with trumpets and James Bond-y melodies,” she explains.
The pair spent much of the first few months just listening to music, and after Dixon introduced her to the new-romantic sounds of his youth – Tears for Fears, Talk Talk and Roxy Music – the era’s OTT moodiness seemed like the natural canvas for her candid narratives.
Dixon also stretched Washington lyrically, pushing her to write about her personal life.
“It was a pretty intense period and she’d had such a rough 18 months leading up to it,” Dixon says. “But Meg could also laugh through the tears, and writing about it also helped her deal with things she’d swept under the carpet. What I think Meg’s saying on this album is: ‘This happened and it’s my fault.’ She’s putting her hand up and saying ‘I stuffed up’, which is really brave, I think.”
In pitch dark I go walking in your landscape Broken branches trip me as I speak Just cos you feel it doesn't mean it's there Just cos you feel it doesn't mean it's there There's always a siren singing you to shipwreck (don't reach out, don't reach out Stay away from these rocks we'd be a walking disaster (don't reach out, don't reach out Just cos you feel it doesn't mean it's there (there's someone on your shoulder Just coz you feel it doesn't mean it's there (there's someone on your shoulder Feel it Why so green And lonely Heaven sent you To me We are accidents waiting Waiting to happen We are accidents waiting

But we soon realize, on thinking, that there is no circle to be drawn round any one, within which all is “personal,” and without which all is “impersonal.” We realize what may be called the continuity of things.
