Best voted letters to Thom Yorke
Dear Thom,
I really hope this makes it to you. I am really in need of your advice and wisdom, as I have found myself stuck, in life. Every single member of my family including my immediate family has receded out of my life completely, my personal life and relationships fall apart with each new person I decide to give a chance in dating to, the friends that I have had, have stabbed me in the back, used me and even stolen things and people that were important to me and close to my heart. The only thing that has ever excited me was being creative, wanting to create brillant music or be an actor as those are the only two things I am passionate about and really only know how to do. But I find that with each new tragedy that finds me, I get pushed back even more in doing what I know will make me happy, in order to fully deal with these new problems in my way first so I can survive till the next week. So Thom I am desperatley in need of your advice. I want to follow in your footsteps and create beautiful music with good friends and hopefully watch as other listeners fall in love with that same music. I want that feeling of appreciation and acceptance, for once in my life, that feeling of what I am and what I do on this planet actually matters to somebody. Please Thom, give me hope to believe in myself, my dreams, and lastly..to believe in mankind.
Your Ever Loyal and Dedicated Fan,
Morgan Middlebrook
Dear Thom,
I want to start by saying that hands down- the song that has always been there for me even through the death of my mother on my birthday has been "True Love Waits". And recently I've been listening to it a lot lately due to almost the same thing that I read Morgan Middlebrook has written to you about. Last year I lost one of my closest friends Sean at a party, sadly it was another one of my closest friends that ran him over... it was all just screwing around that went incredibly wrong.... I first got your song on a burned disk from my cousin Mia and fell in love with your lyrics and music in general.... but still now ten years later True Love Waits is still my top played on my itunes by at least a hundred.... and that's not on my old desktop either when times were especially rough trying to cope with my dad beating the crud out of me for not being home on time to feed the dog (who sleeps outside because he's an outdoor dog..), or getting screamed at for not knowing how to spell certain words. I only want to tell you most of this because I was reading some of your quotes a few minutes ago and suddenly got the courage to try and write to you. The quote stated how when somebody tells you your music changed their life it meant something, so I wanted you to know that your music definitely does impact people myself included. I also would love to hear back from you to get some advice, words of encouragement, and a heads up when you'll be in the U.S. again because I missed you at Coachella and I really wish that I hadn't... I really do appreciate your music and after reading the few quotes that I did, I'm pleased to say, and honored that I get to listen to the song that meant and still means the world to me.
ANOTHER forever loyal and dedicated fan,
Vincent

Thom.
I just got tickets to see Atoms For Peace at treasure island and got so overcome with joy I've been crying for longer than should be acceptable. I decided to thank you.
Years ago I was in a bad place, nothing could seem to help. I discovered radiohead and your music touched me in a way I can only mildly explain. It takes the hurt away. I hear certain songs and instantly my entire being is calm. Your music comforts me and makes everything else just go away. I don't know how else to say this, but thanks for expressing yourself through your music and making me feel less scared and alone.
thom,
radiohead is the most amazing sounding band i have ever heard! you all are sooo talented. I believe music should make a person FEEL, and when i listen to your music it brings all different emotions to my body and mind, its beautiful, you are all VERY talented. My brother is another talented guy his band An Acoustic Machine is inspired by you guys, every one says his voice is similar to yours. Thanks for the inspiration, but by bro says youve already written the best songs he can never think of lol you should take a listen to them.
Dear Thom
Thank you for auckland. I dont have words only feeling.
I feel so lost and empty after leaving that concert, its like a part of my soul got left in the words you were singing and the notes you all were playing. I have a undying need to express my love to you and my gratitude for being a ray of love and reality in a world of plastic, anger and hate. My strength comes from you.
