High and Dry
Radiohead Lyrics

Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry

Drying up in conversation
You will be the one who cannot talk
All your insides fall to pieces
You just sit there wishing you could still make love

They're the ones who'll hate you
When you think you've got the world all sussed out
They're the ones who'll spit at you
You will be the one screaming out

Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry

Oh, it's the best thing that you've ever had
The best thing that you've ever, ever had
It's the best thing that you've ever had
The best thing you have had is gone away

So don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry

It was as a double A-side with album opener "Planet Telex". "High and Dry" was released in the UK on 5 March 1995 and remains one of the band's most popular radio hits, despite reaching only #17 upon release.

"High and Dry" was recorded during the Pablo Honey sessions but was dismissed by the band, who thought that it sounded like a Rod Stewart song. However, during the sessions for The Bends it was rediscovered and remastered, as it was felt that it worked well with the rest of the album's content. The version that appears on the album is the original demo; it was never re-recorded.

The song is widely regarded as Radiohead's most accessible pop hit, and was a live favourite, though it has not been performed in a decade.

I had a friend named Ava who used to play this song when she felt down. She was neglected by her parents because they only cared about money, and I tried to spend as much time with her so she wouldn’t fall into depression. I was basically her pillar of support, and we hung out a lot

Seven years ago she committed suicide by slitting her wrists with a kitchen knife while her parents were at work. During the fueneral Her parents was yawning and texting, and I figured out why she really came. Turns out, Ava’s grandfather left his fortune to her, which I figured out from her Older sister. And her parents were there to collect the money

Now, in 2020, I’m a 24 year old Biology schoolteacher in Glasgow, Scotland, having moved from America to The U.K. I’m married and have a 4 year old daughter. I still keep in touch with Ava’s sister, and I still play this song when I Feel down in Ava’s memory

Edit: I’m not doing this for likes or whatnot. I want to spread awareness and share Ava’s story. I have no interest in likes

Edit 2- thanks for the support everyone. I just want to let people who lost friends or family know that you’re not alone in this world. Stay strong during these hard times

I bet you think that's pretty clever, don't you, boy?
Flying on your motorcycle
Watching all the ground beneath you drop
You'd kill yourself for recognition
Kill yourself to never, ever stop
You broke another mirror
You're turning into something you are not
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry
Drying up in conversation
You will be the one who cannot talk
All your insides fall to pieces
You just sit there wishing you could still make love

“It’s the best thing that you ever had
The best thing that you ever had is gone”
They are gone, it’s true.
I don’t laugh
I don’t smile
I don’t feel
My smile was the best thing that I ever had, my laugh, and know they’re gone and so is he. And everybody knows how I feel because I always used to smile. But I haven’t for a while and I’m so tired, I’m so so tired.
But I dedicate this song to myself, and that includes not leaving me. I won’t leave me high and dry.

honestly, for me, this is the most depressing and sad song that Radiohead ever made.
i enjoy it, it's painful. but paradoxically making me better and move on about the pain.

I mean, it's hurt or depressing and giving me sadness,
and also in another way, the song makes me feel better and giving a hope to move on and face everything right now (accepting that you are now helpless and alone but you have to move on with).

we sometimes feel alone because of someone. but are we? I often understand that there's always someone for me. like my family and friend or even my cat. and we need to always find that one person. and if no one can take that place we should be there for ourselves. hope you'll get better!

I was in my early 20s when this song came out. Years before I went to a concert where REM were performing, the Radiohead was the opening band and I was blown away. At that time I was an university student with many dreams in the drawer, along with some CDs and those stupid and useless things that we usually put in them. I was studying Medicine hoping to replenish that bag full of expectations that my parents (all doctors in the family) had but I was often restless and distracted. I remember the scent of the women I was with, that of the weed I used sometimes to smoke, the noise of street vendors and the news talking about the many deaths because of the MAFIA. The 90s were really hard for us Sicilians and still are. Today I am 47 years old, I lived in different countries in Europe and not only, I am not a doctor (I decided to quit 😊) and today I work as a manager in the IT world. I am since years with a woman who looks like a gift from heaven and in a few days I will be a father of a boy whose name will be that of my father to whom I owe, despite the disappointments given, everything and who never left me alone in my path . I hope I can teach my son how important music is in our life, because it not only fills the soul but it has that magical power to make you travel back and relive everything with open eyes. Radiohead is and always will be my favorite band and when I listen to a song like this I turn twenty and suddenly a smile mix of sweetness, sadness and joy colors my face (sorry for my English :D )

Not really. The lyrics are pretty weak and the only good thing about this song is Thoms's voice. His mid 90s voice was at its peak. Apart from that it's not a good song, actually it's just a very generic britpop song at the time but for the approachable character it was perfect for a successful single release. Radiohead don't even like to play that song because they know they can do much better.

@Oblivi8 Games The lockdown ended a year ago. I live in California too. Having to wear a mask isn't "lockdown". The only thing that hasn't aged well is this bullshit half-assed meandering effort to stop a virus.

I'd be honored if some 90s fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of
"HIGH & DRY" by Radiohead, "1979" by the Smashing Pumpkins, and "NAME" by the Goo Goo Dolls on my YT channel in tribute to 3 of the most iconic 90s bands. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace out and stay safe in the '020s.

Listening to Radiohead is like opening up your refrigerator in the morning looking at empty milk carton when you already have a bowl of cereal ready. You are still drowzy from just getting out of bed. Kind of feeling.

Fairly simple in its structure (you can strip it down to just a few chords) and yet it is so hugely powerful.
It’s almost like they took a cliched 3 or 4 chord song and went “Screw the cliche we’re going to make this epic”

This song makes so much more sense now that I'm grown up. I bought this in the first week It was released in the '90's. I was 17. I just thought it was angsty and filled with irony. Little did I know it's far more relative and relevant when u reach a certain age. Thom Yorke and Co. Are songwriting Fxcking Geniuses!

I am pointing out a few things about the weather here. First, it must be quite chilly there because I was able to see Thom's breath. Second, how ironic it is that as soon as Thom said dry nearly three minutes into the song, it starts raining almost as if the weather was granting him his wish.

Aw.... It's always so nice to come back to a special space and time. Where you can Sing Out Loud and play along. Music can be so timeless, so, in tune,
and although there might not be always somebody to sing along with you, but it's always from the heart, and lingering memories seem to just come right back to you......I miss a whole bunch of stuff in my life that has "time marked" by the music that I have listened to. I feel so frigging human, and that fact frightens me. Sometimes Life is so suprising and sometimes feels not fair. But that's why we have fine music and fine wine and singing and dancing too.....

I'm not going to argue which band was best in the 90's, but I will say that it was a blessing being alive in those days. I mean, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Radiohead, STP, REM, etc, etc. That decade was loaded with talent. It's not even fair to compare it with the 2000's or 10's. I know to each generation, their own but I would say that the only other decade that had more musical talent was probably the 60's. Having said that please check out Benjamin Booker. He is a great young talent and destined for greater things. You wont regret it.

Unfortunately, that huge rush of talent will not be singing and playing rock... Rock'n Roll is dead... I'm glad to have youtube and hear all the greatest hits of rock bands, like Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Bush, Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Skunk Anansie, Lenny Kravitz, Linkin Park, REM, Audioslave, Stone Temple Pilots, The Cranberries, Alanis Morisste, Life House, Oasis, Pearl Jam, Blur, K'S Choiche, Guano Apes, Garbage and so many others during the 90's.

Their songs make us feel anger but in a good way and at the same time alive, with a purpose in your life, fight for something, and the music from the ending of 00's and especially the 10's, with some exceptions, (Coldplay, Muse, Imagine Dragons, One Republic...), is like packets of plastic, that we only keep in the first days, and then it goes to the garbage, speaking in garbage I remeber to add Garbage :)

I don't know if the teenagers list music and don't feel these things that I'm telling, but with the type of music that plays in the radio nowadays is hard to feel it.

Just my opinion and I'm thankful for had growing up during the 90's!

GuitarsAndMore

I get where you're coming from but take a listen to Slipknot - Snuff. There is still true talent in the 2000's
